Iran and post-Assad Syria: Strategic dilemmas and constraints
The collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime marks a critical geopolitical setback for Iran, dismantling its strategic foothold in Syria and eroding years of political, military, and economic investment. The resulting reconfiguration of power in Damascus has weakened Iran’s influence across the Levant and disrupted its ability to maintain regional networks aligned with the ‘Axis of Resistance.’ In this context, Iranian policymakers face complex strat…

The Aras River Basin, a significant transboundary river basin in the Caucasus region, is shared among four riparian countries, including Türkiye, Armenia, Iran, and Azerbaijan. Although positive measures have been taken to enhance water cooperation in this river basin, the Eastern Anatolia Project ( DAP ) and the hydraulic mission of Türkiye remain the primary factors that could potentially reverse the cooperative atmosphere of the basin and lead…

Chinese‐made weapons have been used in conflicts in Gaza, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Lebanon due to affordability, streamlined procurement processes, and improved quality. China's critics have alleged t…

Confucian Influence: The Place of Soft Power in China’s Strategy Towards Central Asia
China has traditionally had close relations with Central Asia for quite a long time. The main reasons for this are probably their social, cultural, and demographic bonds, as well as geographical proximity, providing China with a different status in Central Asia from those of the other regions in the world. These bonds have also been strengthened by the ancient Silk Road, beginning in China and passing through Central Asia and Iran towards Europe.…
