A possible political solution for Syria

Oubai Shahbandar

Syria's religious and ethnic minorities are faced with difficult choices as the Syrian conflict shows no sign of abating. They, along with the rest of the country, have suffered at the hands of the Assad regime, which has unrelentingly assaulted the civilian populace and persecuted any political, religious or intellectual figure that dares question the Assad family’s legitimacy to rule

Iran’s covert nuclear activity continues

Oubai Shahbandar

Tehran is still pursuing research and testing that could lead to a weaponized nuclear device, the Iranian opposition said Friday. One military site in particular, Parchin, has come under scrutiny for allegedly continuing covert nuclear weapons work despite Iran’s commitment to end such activity as part of the nuclear deal. According to intelligence documents released by the National Council of

Pentagon needs to double down in battle for Syria’s Badia

Oubai Shahbandar

With Gen. James Mattis making his first official visit as secretary of defense to Saudi Arabia, one particular point of commonality is the matter of Arab tribal forces (many from the Shammar tribal confederation) fighting against Daesh in eastern Syria. These forces are increasingly under attack by the Syrian regime’s air force, yet they have made impressive battlefield gains that

Trump makes the right call in Syria

Oubai Shahbandar

Great leaders are often made by the decisions and paths they embark upon when faced with circumstances that shape history. In Syria, US President Donald Trump’s bold decision to strike the Bashar Assad regime has now brought him to the forefront of leadership on the global stage. The Assad regime made an egregious strategic error in attempting to test President

Time to end Assad’s WMD

Oubai Shahbandar

A new mass chemical weapons attack in Syria seems to have been launched against civilians on Tuesday morning, according to initial reports from medical workers and first-responders. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the regime’s sarin gas attack in Damascus in 2013, video and pictures emerged following the attack of the lifeless bodies of children, still in their pajamas, who

Iran’s Soleimani must be brought to justice

Oubai Shahbandar

Tehran is now sending advanced weaponry and seasoned advisers to support Houthi extremists in Yemen, according to recent revelations first reported by Reuters. The effort is led by Iran’s Qods Force, which has overseen the training and arming of Shiite extremist proxies in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Using that expertise and lessons learned in the battlefield, Qods Force operatives are

Newly revealed IRGC terror-training camps should be targeted

Oubai Shahbandar

The opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) Tuesday unveiled satellite imagery and extensively researched details on the operations, leadership structure, network and full scope of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force terrorist training camps. Spread throughout 14 locations in Iran, these camps are designed to indoctrinate and train a diverse foreign cadre of fighters. These camps provide

Trump calls to Arab leaders a positive sign

Oubai Shahbandar

Despite the ongoing mass hysteria among Washington’s punditry on the potential foreign policy fallout of President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders, the recent phone call between him and Saudi King Salman seems to have been warm and substantive. Trump’s call with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan was characterized by both Washington and Abu Dhabi as reinforcing

Foreign policy punditry unfair to Trump

Oubai Shahbandar

It is the height of irony that White House officials are now calling for a tougher line on Russia. The very same White House went out of its way to politicize intelligence on Syria to avoid meaningful intervention that would have potentially ended the slaughter and prevented Russia from establishing a strategic foothold there. It began with select leaks to

The Persian ‘domino effect’

Riyadh - Arab Today

The mastermind of Aleppo’s capture, Qassem Soleimani — head of Iran’s Al-Quds Force — was recently pictured strolling through the rubble of the occupied city, seemingly admiring the fruits of his labor. He boasted in 2015: “We are witnessing the export of the Islamic revolution throughout the region, from Bahrain and Iraq to Syria, Yemen and North Africa.” For Soleimani,

Waves, arguments and cliffhangers: 10 ways diplomats can communicate better

Tom Fletcher

French diplomat Jules Cambon saw the dangers of diplomatic openness in 1931, complaining that ‘the activities of the press, and ignorance of a public that insists on being told everything, do not create an atmosphere favourable to prosecution of political designs’. He was right, long before Assange and Snowden, that the media would sweep away many of the comfortable and

Why this UNGA matters for Lebanon (and all of us)

Tom Fletcher

Every year, New York hosts the diplomatic equivalent of the World Cup. As with the football, there is usually some unruly behaviour, although with Messrs Chavez, Gadhafi and Ahmadinejad no longer on the pitch, this now looks less likely. Some showboating is guaranteed, as global leaders compete for attention – we once arranged a timely power cut to delay a
