Iranian doc follows Afghan fighters in Syria
An Iranian government-owned TV station aired a documentary about the role of Shiite fighters from Afghanistan in the Syrian civil war. The 23-minute video, 'Moalem' (Teacher), tells the story of an Afghan Shiite fighter in Syria, highlighting the IRGC's role in establishing the Fatemion Brigade to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This is a significant revelation of Iran's involvement in the Syrian conflict through foreign paramilitary forces.

Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia have escalated following Saudi Arabia's Operation Decisive Storm against Houthi rebels in Yemen, leading to a verbal battle between Iranian and Saudi officials. The assault of two Iranian teenagers by Saudi security guards during a pilgrimage has broadened anti-Saudi sentiment in Iran beyond the highly religious to include more secular and nationalist Iranians.

Kirkuk, a ticking bomb under Iraq
The article discusses the complex situation in Kirkuk, Iraq, where ethnic tensions among Kurds, Turkmen, and Arabs are exacerbated by the city's oil wealth. Following the withdrawal of foreign troops, Iraq faces challenges including Al-Qaeda activities, Iranian influence, and sectarian strife. The Kurds consider Kirkuk the heart of Kurdistan and seek its annexation to the autonomous Kurdistan region, while Turkmen and Arabs also lay claim to the city. The Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki refuses to cede Kirkuk to the Kurds, even at the cost of his position. Historical policies of Arabization under Saddam Hussein and subsequent Kurdish efforts to reverse these have led to demographic shifts and increased tensions. The article also touches on the broader regional implications, with Turkey, Iran, and Arab countries wary of Kurdish independence.
The Camp David that is being questioned these days
Egypt and Israel are experiencing a cold peace period, with tensions rising after the Israeli ambassador left Cairo due to an attack on the embassy by Egyptian protesters. Egypt is avoiding negotiations with Israel on increasing gas prices and has symbolically stopped palm branch exports for a Jewish holiday. The repeated questioning of the Camp David Accords, especially since Hosni Mubarak's fall, has angered Israeli officials. Prominent Egyptian figures are challenging the accords, seeking popularity among citizens while sending positive signals to the West. The Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf called the accords open for discussion, leading to a negative reaction from Israel. The unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Egypt's lack of a reliable ally like Mubarak have cast a shadow over the relations between the two countries, with Egyptians seeking dignity in reevaluating ties with Israel. Barack Obama has previously stated that peace is always possible, even in seemingly intractable conflicts, drawing inspiration from the Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
