Here’s an up-to-date analysis by Alastair Crooke on the situation in the Middle East. For those interested in the conflict with Iran it is well worth the little over an hours investment of time.

Roth Note: Trump has stirred up a true hornets nest in the Middle East. His actions have led to practically every country in the region being at war with or on the edge of war with others there. Shia, Sunni, Kurd, Jew, Christian – Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Gulf States, Pakistan, different ones allied with others mixed up like from a blender. Ukraine is even trying to get into the game. Congratulations Trump; king of the Clusterf$%#.
