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 – Interview: The Ukraine war has become a new turning point in the political, security, and even commercial relations of allies on both sides of the Atlantic. While this war is nearing its fourth year, many questions still remain regarding its future and its consequences; among them, will the continuation of the Ukraine war lead to the collapse of the European security illusion?
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An international affairs expert said, “Trump’s most important challenge in this period of his presidency for interacting with Russia is the war in Ukraine. It seems that other than Trump, the other parties do not have the necessary preparation, will, and trust to end this war.”
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: On February 6, 2025, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for its investigation of senior Israeli officials.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Clearing Gaza of the Palestinian population is one of the long-standing aspirations of the Zionist regime. This plan has been the focus of the “Israeli far-right” and “Christian Zionism in America” since the passage of the “Israel as the Jewish Nation-State” law in 2018.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The continuation of the Gaza war had become an unbearable issue for Netanyahu, which ultimately forced him to retreat from all war positions and accept a ceasefire under pressure from Trump.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Trump has outlined an important part of his aspirations as the goals of his four-year term.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Over the past 15 years, the UAE has assumed a different role than is commonly thought. This role goes beyond the regional and has political and military dimensions.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al Shaabi) are one of the “important components of power in Iraq” that, alongside the country’s armed forces, play an “effective role” in maintaining security and securing Iraq’s national interests. The Popular Mobilization Forces were formed after the Iraqi army’s defeats against ISIS on December 17, 2014, by a fatwa issued by the Iraqi religious authority, and gained legal and official identity and existence on November 25, 2016, with the passage of a law in parliament.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: With the dominance of armed groups in Syria and the possible intensification of political, military, and security chaos in the country on the one hand and widespread foreign interventions on the other, the risk of ISIS revival has become stronger not only in Syria but also in the country’s surroundings, including Iraq.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia, apparently to justify and explain policies to defend the rights of racial minorities, especially Muslims living in the United States, was unveiled by the White House on December 12, 2024, in a situation where world public opinion has been witnessing with astonishment for more than a year the unprecedented increase in the shipment of deadly weapons and the full-scale political, legal, international and media support of the United States for the genocide and the commission of heinous crimes by the occupying and child-killing Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and other parts of the occupied territories against Palestinians, mainly civilians, women, children, the elderly, journalists, hospitals and all vital centers and infrastructures of the residents of the occupied territories.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the end of World War II, Germany was among the European governments that did the most “good service” to the Zionist regime; the reason for this is quite clear. Germany considers itself “indebted” to the Zionist regime because of Hitler’s behavior and actions towards the Jews. Therefore, in order to compensate for Hitler’s actions and “gain the trust” of the Zionists and at the same time “benefit from the Jewish lobby,” it did not neglect any service to Tel Aviv.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al Shaabi) are one of the “important components of power in Iraq” that, alongside the country’s armed forces, play an “effective role” in maintaining security and securing Iraq’s national interests. The Popular Mobilization Forces were formed after the Iraqi army’s defeats against ISIS on December 17, 2014, by a fatwa issued by the Iraqi religious authority, and gained legal and official identity and existence on November 25, 2016, with the passage of a law in parliament.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the end of World War II, Germany was among the European governments that did the most “good service” to the Zionist regime; the reason for this is quite clear. Germany considers itself “indebted” to the Zionist regime because of Hitler’s behavior and actions towards the Jews. Therefore, in order to compensate for Hitler’s actions and “gain the trust” of the Zionists and at the same time “benefit from the Jewish lobby,” it did not neglect any service to Tel Aviv.

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?
