BEIRUT — Late in the night on Feb. 2, the news hit: “all communication and supply line[s]” between Turkey and Aleppo had been severed, according to a Elijah Magnier, a renowned Arab war correspondent with Alrai Media Group. It seems to be so: the Syrian army and allied militias, backed by Hezbollah and Russian air power, took control of a tendril of territory that cuts off Aleppo-based rebels from the Turkish border. See the map below. Eastern supply lines for the so-called Islamic State appear to have also been cut.

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts – Iran and the United States are on the verge of a historical opportunity to repair their frozen relations and thus reverse the spiral of conflict spiral that for years has dominated their interactions. It is the right thing to do and at the right time, given the fact that more often than not past opportunities were lost simply because one side or the other was not “ready”.

This looks like an outbreak of realism amongst the British elite but for the continued demonization of Iran who would be central to any resolution of the situation in Afghanistan. This could be interpreted as follows: they know the game is up in Afghanistan but they can’t do without an enemy, namely Iran and the “Islamic threat” in general. This ties in with the deployment of the imbecile Blair to hype the Iranian threat. So the message is that we have to withdraw from Afghanistan because we’re losing but the war against terror, i.e. Iran goes on. It remains to be seen whether they are mad enough to attack Iran: in all probability their bark is worse than their bite.

Mr. Secretary General,
I have the pleasure to offer to Your Excellency my best wishes on the occasion of Nowruz and the beginning of the New Solar Year, 1389. I also wish to seize the moment to praise the efforts initiated by Your Excellency and members of the United Nations General Assembly for the international registration of Nowruz, a cultural event that glorifies humanitarian shared values and principles. I hope this initiative will lay a solid foundation for the spread of Nowruz culture that stands for peace, amity, dynamism, constructive cooperation and sustainable security across the world.
