Iran and the US Are Looking for a Way Out
After the failure of the first round, the difficult negotiations will be resumed next week between the five major powers plus Germany (P5+1) and a "moderate" Iran, to reach a balanced agreement, perhaps within months if intentions are sincere, that (...)

Iranian Havoc
Iran is working on two interwoven tracks. On one track, it is taking advantage of the mutual exchange of positive signals between itself and Washington in order to spread the notion that it now has extensive clout in the region and complete freedom (...)

Geneva II: Dialogue Between Assad... And Assad
The demand by the Syrian National Council (SNC) for Brahimi to be relieved of his functions, as well as the criticism by the opposition's National Coalition of the stances taken by the joint UN-AL Envoy, did not come out of nothing. Indeed, the man (...)

Nobody Trusts America
It is the same old story repeating itself with America. Every time, we discover that it is in one world, while we are in another... Its behavior is driven by immediate considerations and interests and its actions are not inspired by the values and (...)

Lebanon And Syria: Forced "Pairing"

The Threat From Iran Is Not Just Nuclear
The mistake committed by the Americans in particular, and by the West in general, of reducing the blood-spattered 2.5-year Syrian crisis to merely the issue of Bashar Al-Assad's chemical arsenal is likely to be repeated with Iran. Indeed, by (...)

Russia and the US: Who Is Lying to Whom?
The international tug of war over the Syrian crisis, which gradually escalated to reach its peak after the chemical attack on Ghouta near Damascus a month ago, has resulted in an agreement on dismantling Syria's chemical arsenal, concluding (...)

A Single Loser in Syria
It might be too early to judge the possibility of success of Russia's proposal to have Bashar Al-Assad's chemical arsenal placed under international control before being destroyed. Indeed, negotiations between international parties are only (...)

Al-Assad No Longer an Acceptable Negotiator
The size and targets of the imminent Western military strike against the Syrian regime forces are linked to the main political message it will address, i.e. that Bashar al-Assad is no longer an acceptable party to negotiate over his country's future (...)

Dahieh Blast: Who is Responsible?
