After yet another round of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue this week in Vienna, Tehran is simultaneously reinforcing its red lines while raising expectations that a final agreement remains within reach. While these might sound like mixed messages, in fact they are part of a sophisticated, multi-prong strategy aimed at pressuring Washington and its negotiating partners to accede to Tehran’s stipulations for a deal.
The Khurais and Manifa projects in Saudi Arabia have the most recoverable reserves among the world’s top 100 upstream developments, with approximately 19.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and 13.7 billion boe, respectively, according to research and consulting firm GlobalData.
A powerful orator, 54-year-old Sheikh Nimr emerged as a leader of protests that broke out in 2011 in response to the violent suppression of the pro-democracy movement in neighbouring Bahrain. The island kingdom, whose predominantly Shia population is ruled by a Sunni dynasty, is linked to the Eastern Province by a causeway. In sermons Mr Nimr did not only denounce the Bahraini clampdown, which was bolstered by troops from Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Gulf allies. He also demanded greater rights for Saudi Arabia’s own disenfranchised Shias, who have long complained of discrimination in government jobs and education, as well as of being demonised by official media. The first Shia minister in Saudi history was only appointed in June this year.

"We don’t know if we’ll be able to get to an agreement, we very well may not,” the official said, declining to be named.
“As we have repeatedly warned in the past...our country faces the danger of continuing to depend almost entirely on oil,” Prince al-Waleed said in the letter. “The kingdom’s 2014 budget is 90% dependent on oil revenues, so belittling [the impact of falling oil prices] is a catastrophe that cannot go unmentioned,” he said.
The United Nations Security Council has welcomed Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi's appointment of a new prime minister, the latest move in an effort to overcome several years of political turmoil in the country.
Turkish warplanes have carried out airstrikes against an outlawed Kurdish group for the first time since a 2013 cease-fire, reports said Tuesday, in attacks that underscored the regional political spillover from battles against the Islamic State.
Saudi Arabia will use tourism as an economic tool to create more jobs for Saudis as well as to develop small and medium enterprises (SMEs), according to the revised tourism strategy, approved by the Shoura Council on Monday.
In the 1920s, the advent of the airplane was going to make all forms of combat on land obsolete. That turned out badly wrong. In the 1950s, nuclear weapons were going to replace traditional ground forces for many missions. That left the Army unprepared for Vietnam in the 1960s, and it resorted to a firepower-heavy form of warfare that was arguably its least impressive wartime performance in American military history. In the 1980s and 1990s, fresh off Vietnam, the Army itself decided not to prepare for such counterinsurgency scenarios any longer. That worked out fine for Operation Desert Storm in 1991 but much less well for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
