IAEA is having difficulties cooperating with Iran to access nuclear sites. Shortened staff required and extra 10 million dollars to monitor the deal for the next 15 years.

This could be good news. Apparently, the cease-fire that has been in the workings is close to success. The article states that there have been several key players to already sign the truce. This hopefully means less death and more success against ISIS, but we will have to wait and see.

Libya is in the midst of complete chaos as they currently have no official government. One idea that some say could fix the situation is to restore the monarchy that ruled Libya until it was overthrown by Gadddafi. As of now, there is one distant relative, a grandnephew of the former King who stands waiting to rescue his nation if "the people demand it."

Given a new urgency to stop ISIS from claiming even more territory in Libya, French special forces have now begun conducting operations alongside British and US forces in Eastern Libya.

Here is another perspective issued today from the New York Times; stating an Israeli soldier accidentally shot an army officer on the West Bank while they were aiming at a "Palestinian assailant trying to attack the officer."

The recent US air strike on a building in the western Libyan city of Sabrata, which killed more than 40 suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters, highlights the growing expansion and danger of the group in Libya.

A New York Times article talking about the differences as far as legal terms between a truce, a cease-fire, and an armistice. I think that it's an excellent article to include because there's a lot of mixing and matching of these three terms by media sources when in actuality they are very different.

This article published today by Al Jazeera reports inhumane treatment of Palestinian inmates interrogated at Shikma. I was an Israel supporter in the complex conflict between Israel and Palestine, also considering Israel is an ally of the U.S., but now I'm beginning to rethink my position. This is almost synonymous with the Turks treatment of the Kurds.

Somewhat off my normal topic, I found this article fascinating. This photographer, when the war in Libya broke out, decided to go and document the war with nothing more than his iPhone. Even after being hit by a mortar attack, he still went on documenting for his new book, the war torn and sometimes never shown images from the Libyan war.

President Barack Obama said the U.S. would sustain financial aid to Jordan to help the country cope with a flood of refugees, after a meeting with King Abdullah Wednesday at the White House. The two leaders discussed U.S.

This article is about the US not interfering in Syria. It's interesting that they have drawn such conclusions without actually interfering at all. It is also noteworthy that they provided indirect assistance to rebels before coming to such a conclusion.

Progress towards eliminating ISIS is being made in countries that is going unnoticed by the international media. ISIS has just been driven out of parts of Benghazi in addition to other regions around the world.

The military court in Alexandria, Egypt put eight Muslim brotherhood members on death row. They were charged for planning a terrorist attack against the Egyptian military. This has been on the rise since the end of Morsi in Egypt.
