Iran has recently been going against the nuclear deal and freed itself of previous restrictions. It has created more hostility between the United States and Iran which is the opposite of what the plan was supposed to do.

Libya's neighbors along with members of the newly established unity government met in Tunis to discuss how Libya's neighbors can help Libya finally achieve piece and stability. It is apparent that in order for Libya to succeed in not only achieving stability and kicking out ISIS, they must rely on the help of regional partners.

"Israel has long been worried that Hezbollah will be emboldened by access to sophisticated weapons in Syria provided by the Russian military, concerned that once the Syrian opposition has been vanquished, Hezbollah would turn its focus to the Jewish state. "

"The Lebanese Army and Hezbollah fighters pounded extremist posts Saturday along the country's northeastern border for the second day in a row."

"Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah Sunday announced that Hezbollah had covertly sent fighters to combat ISIS in Iraq, saying that his party had fought under local command and not interfered in the country's internal affairs as Saudi Arabia had in some Arab states."

This is a big deal because it is the highest level of involvement by the US in Syria to this date. A US attack killed Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al Qaduli, a high placed member of ISIS.

Turkey's role in this war is interesting. Accused of loosening border restrictions to let foreign fighters enter Syria, Turkey is now accusing EU countries of doing the same. There is a huge number of foreign fighters in Syria and it is hard to believe that EU countries had no idea these people were leaving.

This article comments on the growing US involvement in Syria. It refers to a remote airstrip in a Kurdish-controlled town, with American planes arriving and leaving often.

Russia warned it will act unilaterally starting on Tuesday to end alleged violations of the "cessation of hostilities" agreement, unless Moscow and Washington urgently reach an agreement to deal with attacks. The Russian military has accused the United States of dragging its feet on responding to Moscow's proposals on rules for joint monitoring of the Syria ceasefire and response to violations, saying delays are leading to civilian casualties. The Russian Government has threatened the Syrian people who stand against the peace treaty..

"I think it's absolutely horrible," Trump said. "Look at Brussels, Brussels was a beautiful city, a beautiful place with zero crime, and now it's a disaster." He said the Belgian capital "is an armed camp" and added that "Paris is no longer the beautiful City of Lights." The United States GOP party is weighing in on the ISIS attacks, and what they think Obama should be doing. This puts the United States under high alert because several people flock in from the border every day to get to the US.

Despite constant criticism of Iran Nuclear Deal, Joe Biden still defends the plan. Claims that the U.S. is ready and able to take action if Iran breaks the deal and says America has full control over Iran.

According to the article, a Houthi official rebuffed Iran after one of its generals offered to send military advisers to help Houthi forces. The Iran have long been supporting the Houthis as they fight against Saudi-led forces.

This article offers a differing perspective than most, stating that social media was more of a contributing factor in the middle eastern revolutions rather than "the driving force." Another interesting aspect of this article is the fact that it was written very recently. I think it's interesting how the difference of opinion over time on how social media has impacted and is continuing to impact revolutions in this area.

On 25 January 2011 hundreds of thousands of protesters started to gather in Tahrir Square and planted the seeds of unrest which, days later, finally unseated the incumbent president, Hosni Mubarak, after 30 years of power.

It's one key piece of evidence authorities are looking at as they search for suspects after two explosions at the Brussels airport and another at a busy metro station in the Belgian capital Tuesday killed at least 30 people and wounded 230 others. This explosion and attack was said to be caused by ISIS in their latest message to the western powers.

This footage provides evidence that could explain what happened in the airport at Belgium. At least one of the bombings was a suicide bombing.

ISIS is preparing to make a move on Europe with 400 fighters that they have trained for attacks. The caliphate has already shown its willingness to bomb Europe with its attack in Belgium.
