20 posts held, back to 16 December 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 10 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
🔻The potential of Iran-China Transit Connection Through Afghanistan ✍️ Tawhid Varastan expert in Economic Affairs. Given the importance of overland connectivity between Iran and China, Afghanistan has emerged as one of the potential land routes. On the other hand, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the disruption of maritime trade have further highlighted Afghanistan’s role, positioning the country as one of …
🔻Strategic Evolution of ISKP in Afghanistan ✍️ Mir Ahmad Mashal Afghan Expert The suppression of the Islamic State’s Khorasan Province (ISKP) group— the Afghan affiliate of the Islamic State — inside Afghanistan has pushed the group toward building a decentralized, transnational, and nearly uncontrollable network. This analysis demonstrates how the decline of ISKP’s visible presence does not necessarily mean the…
🔻Trojan Horse for the Heartland: The Dimensions of the “Israeli Peace” in Central Asia ✍️ Igor Pankratenko The starting point was Kazakhstan’s accession to the Abraham Accords in November 2025.

🔻Geo-economic Reconfiguration of Iran and Afghanistan: Opportunities, Challenges, and Strategic Imperatives ✍️ Javid Hosseini researcher on Afghan affairs For the Islamic Republic of Iran, Afghanistan is not merely an eastern neighbor; rather, it constitutes an integral part of the country’s surrounding strategic environment.

🔻 Strategies for Enhancing the Resilience of Afghanistan’s Non-Pashtun Ethnic Groups to Reduce Migration ✍️ Afghanistan Working Group Migration from Afghanistan, particularly among non-Pashtun ethnic groups, is a multidimensional and structural phenomenon.

🔻 The U.S.– Zionist Regime War Against Iran: Economic Impacts on Afghanistan 🖊 Waliullah Moradian Afghan Analyst and expert. Due to its geographical location, Afghanistan is a landlocked country with no direct access to open seas. As a result, its economy—particularly in the areas of imports, foreign trade, and the supply of essential goods—depends heavily on the transit routes of neighboring countries. Consequent…
🔻 The American S7+ Plan and Its Geopolitical Implications for Iran 🖊 Behrouz Ghezel Researcher at the Institute for East Strategic Studies. The Silk Seven Plus (S7+) initiative should be regarded as the latest version of the policy of “regionalization through connectivity” across the space linking Central Asia, Afghanistan, and South Asia; an initiative that is ostensibly articulated through the language of trade,…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @East_Strategic_Studies. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 355,685 of 1,478,351entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 10 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
