Interesting article. I wonder whether there was any option but for al Qaeda to rise. al Qaeda was tolerated in Afghanistan because otherwise it was feared they might cause uprisings in the Middle East. Did the Arab nations allow the Mujahideen from Afghanistan to return home?

WITH SADOM GONE IRAN HAS BECOME A POWER HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HE WAS THE NEUTRALIZING FACTOR

Images suggest Iran launched satellite despite US criticismDUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran appears to have attempted a second satellite launch despite U.S. criticism that its space program helps the country develop ballistic missiles, satellite images released Thursday suggest. Iran did not immediately acknowledge conducting such a launch. Images released by the Colorado-based company DigitalGlobe show a rocket at the Imam Khomeini Space Center in Iran's Semnan province on Tuesday. Images from Wednesday show the rocket was gone with what appears to be burn marks on its launch pad. It wasn't immediately clear if the satellite, if launched, made it into orbit. jongambrellAP Tisk, right? jongambrellAP Haha. The freemasonic elite script your reality! jongambrellAP So the U.S. says Iran can't launch a satellite now? No wonder America is so universally loved.....

Tehran bats away EU criticism of Iranian missile testsIran dismissed European Union criticism of its missile program, regional policie... So what's the next plan? Obama built that (missile)! Thanks to the $1.5 billion in cash he sent them. While even private Western companies like Space X are allowed to test or build Missiles, No 1 has the right to ask Iran to stop its defensive Missile program. Iranians won't give up their defence & let The U.S or Europ push their unfair policies to Iran.

Perspective | Trump is moving us closer to war with IranHis words and actions have created greater risk that we could wind up in direct military conflict with our four-decade rival. Does congress have to approve it? And probably others. Old lady low-caliber, unaware and most ignorant in our society will have emotional negative feedback in response to President Trump's overseas dealings. We already busted the Dem propaganda myth that about ruining relationships when Trump negotiated trade. Now trade is fair. 🤔

Iran video shows test launch of cruise missileTEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's Ministry of Defense has published a video purportedly showing the launch of a new cruise missile, saying it has a 1,350-kilometer (840-mile) range. In the 37-second video on the ministry website, the launch was shown from different angles with the projectile finally hitting somewhere in the desert. Iran has missile capability of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), far enough to reach archenemy Israel and U.S. military bases in the region. Cruise missiles need a navigation capabilities which Iran doesn’t have apparently Ohhhh CIA. Trump was right? Who in the world trusts out Intelligence Agencies to get it right?

Iraq is more than just a watchtower for the US over IranIf the US genuinely wanted to counter Iran, and strengthen Iraq, it would put its considerable resources towards helping Iraqis build an authentic national movement that represents all Iraqis.

Trump wants US military to stay in Iraq to 'watch Iran'Trump said he will keep the U.S. military in Iraq in order to keep a close eye on Iran 'because Iran is a real problem.' In agreement. Iraq will become a proxy State to Iran, mostly due to our premature withdrawal and not cracking down on Shia government shunning Sunnis. I just want us out of Afghanistan and Syria. Been saying that since 2016 and now we have a POTUS who wants to actually take our troops home. Time to end the wars abroad and focus on our issues here. Trump is the 'real problem'
