A US counterterrorism official’s resignation raises uncomfortable questions about a war few are willing to challenge

Electronic warfare and intelligence sharing are eroding decades of US-Israeli dominance in the Gulf.

The US and Israel declared regime change as their ultimate goal. That, however, would be difficult to achieve.

Nouri al-Maliki’s third term as prime minister is likely to escalate sectarian politics in the country.

Tehran is no Caracas. The Islamic Republic stands on solid ground even if it faces multiple crises.

Trump has manufactured the Venezuela crisis, not to grab more oil but to expand his executive power.

Unconditional US support for Israel will come to an end, but this policy shift may take years.

Washington is pressing Baghdad to dismantle pro-Iranian paramilitary groups. The move is risky, but it may pay off.

The country needs a comprehensive justice and accountability process to address past crimes.

It is yet another sign of a looming ‘tech cold war’.
