Iran's Chilling Message to Trump

It is no secret that Trump has not made many friends in the Middle East since taking office. A lot of the disagreements have to deal with Trumps decision to leave the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which is an international pact between Iran, the UK, US, Russia, France, China, and Germany agreed upon in 2015, it aims to limit Tehran’s nuclear arsenal. Trump thinks that the current sanctions are not tough enough and wants to change them. General Mohammed Bagheri says that the United States is too concerned about the Middle East and should worry about our own issues. Mohammed Bagheri also thinks that the U.S. has chosen sides on who they support, saying that the U.S. has been taking Saudi Arabia's side and have also been exporting weapons into the Middle East to start more conflicts. This issue is extremely hostile at this time as Iran vows to never bow to the pressure of the United States.

    The last thing that the United States needs is another extreme conflict with a foreign country. I wish Trump wouldn't be pulling out of these agreements just because the past president signed into them. Before we know it, we are going to have more enemies than allies.

Israels Ground Breaking Deal Until recently Israel and Egypt tended to have a security-focused relationship. Earlier this week the nations made a $15 billion deal to have Israel export natural gas to Egypt. The deal is for 64 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which is great for both of the countries economies, especially Israel. Israels' state treasury will benefit immensely using the money to build Israels social welfare, education, and health. However, there are still some obstacles for the deal to work smoothly.  There was an issue where Israeli electricity providers wanted to be compensated by Egyptian companies but nothing has been said about the issue and whether or not this deal resolves the arbitration. The biggest problem is how the natural gas is actually going to be transported. The EMG pipeline is experiencing damages at the time and may not be a possible way to transport the gas. The pipeline was used to export oil from Egypt to Israel in the past. Del...

The arms trade is bringing drama from all sides into Syria and other countries near by, making it difficult to try and resolve any issues. The buying and selling of arms to other states has increased quickly. The Trudeau government went along with the sale of $15 million Canadian dollars of military equipment to Saudi Arabia in 2015. The Canadian company general dynamics land systems Canada was allowed export licenses. Saudi Arabia has been thought of a state endorser of panic because of the repression of politics at home and killing insurgents and towns people alike in the war next to Yemen. However, Canada has also funded the Kurdish Peshmerga with arms so that they can against ISIS in Iraq. Although, the Canadian government is much more vigilant when it comes to this because they worry about war crimes being committed. The Russian arms industry has also made good profits from the war. Previous communist countries have sold billions of dollars worth of weapons the the We...

Syria continues to lead headlines in the international and domestic news with a raging conflict that is tearing the nation apart. The civil war that is plaguing Syria does not discriminate in who it affects, newest statistics show that over 1,000 children have been killed or injured in 2018 already. The numbers of deceased, injured, and displaced refugees is astonishing and civilians continue to call out for help from the international community without answer. A strong sense has fallen over the people of Syria that the world has given up on them and is not supporting them in a time of major need. Constant bombing, missile strikes, and mortar shelling is a terrifying reality civilians are living in day after day with no cease in sight. Monday March 5th the United Nations attempted to deliver aid in a convoy of 46 trucks to Eastern Ghouta, unfortunately the convoy was forced to retreat early due to a barrage of shelling. There is little hope for the people of Syria right now, it is the ...
