Violence in Iraq in 2014 killed at least 12,282 civilians, making it the deadliest year since the sectarian bloodshed of 2006-07, the United Nations said in a statement.
In a series of blunt tweets over the holiday weekend, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei entered America's debate on race and police violence -- comparing unrest in states like New York and Missouri to conflicts in the Middle East.

I agree with the view put forward by Glencore’s head of oil this week that the price will stay low for at least 6-9 months without OPEC intervention, as it will take that time for cuts in capex and investment to make any impact. “The groundwork is being laid for a strong rebound in 12-18 months.”
EAPC was formed in 1968 when the two countries were friends as a joint-venture company that would bring Iranian oil from the Gulf to Israel’s Red Sea port of Eilat and ship it to terminals in Ashkelon — avoiding the Suez Canal. From there the oil would be sold and shipped to Europe. On the eve of the revolution that toppled the Shah and brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power, EAPC’s 242-kilometer pipeline contained about 800,000 tons of unrefined Iranian petroleum. That was worth $120 million at the time and about $400 million according to current prices. Iran should have received half the proceeds from the sale of the oil, but because the new Islamic regime cut diplomatic ties, Israel never transferred the money. Only in the mid-1980s did Tehran act to recover the money and begin international arbitration proceedings in Geneva and Paris. In 2004 it sued Israel for $800 million, an amount it said was equal to all the assets in the joint venture.

As the first American defense secretary to visit Iraq since the U.S. officially ended its long war three years ago, Chuck Hagel's message to Iraqi leaders was plain: U.S. military power didn't solve Iraq's problems last time, nor will it now. "As Iraqi leaders and the people of Iraq know, only they can bring lasting peace to their country — if they are resolved to do this," Hagel told reporters Tuesday after meeting Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and other top Iraqi officials.
