A rapprochement in 2014 between Qatar which backs the Muslim Brotherhood and Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. which back the Sissi government in Egypt
12/20/2014
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is pushing for an end to hostilities between the Sissi government in Egypt and Qatar as the security threats in the region intensify. Different states are backing different groups in the Middle East. This has led to a war in Libya between competing sides, and conflicts in Yemen. Iran has supported other sides in the conflict. Islamic State now threatens Saudi Arabia as Iran pushes for aggressive action against Islamic State in Iraq, creating common ground with new security threats in the region.

Houthis in Yemen - Iranian influence in Yemen and the Saudi response
03/23/2015
Houthi rebels from northern Yemen- belonging to an offshoot of Shiite Islam- oust the government in Sanaa and move south to take Taiz, an airforce base in the south, and Aden. Iran supports the Houthi rebels in Yemen and the country fractures between Sunnis and Shiites, with sectarian conflict. This is part of a wider conflict in the region with the Gulf States, Saudi, Turkey and other countries taking sides in the conflict in Syria and Iraq. In 2015 the differences between the Saudis and Qatar are being bridged with the expansion in Iran's influence in the region, including Syria and Iraq. The conflict in Yemen draws the Sunni side together against Shiite Iran with the Saudi airstrikes on targets in Yemen.

The U.S. air support of Saudi air strikes in Yemen and the Iraqi army at Tikrit- 2015
03/28/2015
The U.S. finds itself on both sides of the conflict involving Iran after years of inaction under the Obama administration- using airstrikes for supporting the Saudis against Iranian backed Houthi rebels in Yemen who advanced into the southern port city of Aden in March 2015, and using airstrikes supporting the Iraqi army at Tikrit. Policy determined by an evolving situation in the Middle East reacting to facts on the ground at each step, and not able to formulate a coherent policy, after leaving the region to the influence of regional powers and sectarian conflicts under the Obama administration.

Mohammad Javad Zarif: A Message From Iran
New York Times 04/20/2015
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
