Strategic Council Online – Opinion: American-Zionist objectives in the region are not limited to weakening Hezbollah. Efforts to disarm Iraqi resistance groups such as Kata’ib Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization Forces are also part of their subsequent plans.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: While Washington’s new strategic documents focus on competition with China and Russia, they also seek to transform West Asia into an arena for containing Iran through regional powers and asymmetric deterrence.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The agreement being formed between the European Union and India, aimed at creating a vast two-billion-person trade zone, will have geopolitical and economic consequences extending beyond mere trade.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With a people-centric, low-cost model, India has opened a new path in artificial intelligence development that could inspire developing countries.
Strategic Council Online – Report: While the second phase of the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire has begun, the establishment of the “Peace Board” chaired by Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Davos meeting (22 January 2026) has become more than a technical mechanism for reconstruction and has turned into a test for the future of the international order.
Despite the signing of the charter by 22 out of 60 invited countries, the limited presence of global leaders at the Davos ceremony and the non-acceptance of this body by the European Union and key Western countries indicate a deep divide in global perceptions of the legitimacy of this mechanism.
In this report, drawing on the analysis of Hadi Borhani, a regional affairs expert, and international data, three strategic questions are addressed: Is the Peace Board an instrument for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 or a substitute for the United Nations? How does the hierarchical architecture of this committee intensify executive challenges in Gaza? And finally, can this body create sustainable peace without the cooperation of Palestinians and with the concentration of power in the hands of a single individual?
Online Strategic Council – Memoir: The swift selection of Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership constitutes a new phase in Iraq’s political sphere. Multiple factors have played a role in this process, the most important being the prevailing situation in Iraq and the region. Under such circumstances, Iraq requires a powerful and experienced prime minister who can keep the country away from the dangers of wars and crises.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Relations between some countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as China and Japan or China and Australia, which were previously relatively normal, are trending towards deterioration, and the primary reason for this is the aggressive policies of the United States of America.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert stated that the decline of the liberal international order began in 2008. Although the liberal international order still governs international relations, an order is emerging to replace it, based on competition among major powers.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating conflict between the Yemeni Resistance and the Zionist regime is a clear example of asymmetric confrontation with strategic consequences in the region. The missile operations of the Yemeni Resistance serve as a demonstration of this country’s strategic and military power and send a clear message to the Zionist regime and America regarding the costs of continuing the status quo. This has increased the legitimacy and influence of the Yemeni Resistance, led by Ansarullah, in the Arab world and turned it into an undeniable strategic actor.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on West Asia affairs said: Yemeni Ansarollah have targeted some Zionist ships or other ships bound for the occupied territories in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the past weeks in support of the resistance of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. They have pledged to continue attacks on Israeli ships or ships bound for the occupied territories in the Red Sea until the Israeli regime stops its attacks on Gaza.
Strategic Council Online – An expert on West Asia affairs assessed the US letter to Ansarollah and the attempt to negotiate with them as a sign of the effectiveness of the Resistance and said: One of the factors that led Mohammed bin Salman to resort to the United States for putting an end to the war in Yemen is the issue of balance of power which has now changed in favour of Ansarollah.
Strategic Council Online – Yemen is now facing major developments that will extend beyond the land borders of Yemen and neighboring countries. With the recent threats posed by the Yemeni army and popular committees, it seems that in the coming days there will be changes in the depths of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and it will not even be far from expected that Ansarullah may consider hitting targets in the Zionist regime.

Strategic Council Online: What we have witnessed in the recent widespread operations of the Ansarullah movement and the Yemeni people’s armies against Saudi positions is, on the one hand, an attempt to persuade Saudi Arabia to admit its military weaknesses inside Yemen, and on the other, an attempt to thwart troublesome and armed moves of mercenary groups seeking to disrupt the situation in Sanaa (the capital of Yemen) and create new insecurity in the region.
