The U.S. faces off with Iran.

The “awakened giant” shouldn’t go back to sleep just yet.

No friend in the war on terror.

Is America playing the role of Assad’s air force?

Another place where Tehran is fomenting chaos.

On the back of sectarian conflict.

The threat from IS isn’t going away, and a Russian police force won’t help maintain calm.

A Hebrew inscription, an old synagogue, and a prophet’s tomb.

In the wake of elections, Iran is tightening its grip.

Repeating Barack Obama’s Iraq errors.

An inviting target for Islamic State.

So long as Assad rules, there will be Shiite and Sunni terror.

And the Saudi, and Iranian, role.

Aided by Turkey’s offensive in Afrin.
