KSA and SyriaKSA Shoulder-to-Shoulder with Coalition to Destroy IS – Prince Mohammed
Wiping out ‘IS’ is just one step towards a more general and comprehensive goal: an end to the bloodshed in Syria; an inclusive, independent, non-sectarian government in Iraq and a just settlement for the Palestinian people whose desperate plight remains at the centre of Saudi foreign policy. Peace, a just peace for the Palestinians is the only way forward.

U.S.-AfghanistanWe Finally Have a Security Agreement With Afghanistan—What’s Next?
Approximately 9,800 soldiers are expected to stay in Afghanistan after the end of 2014, down from about 38,000 at the beginning of the year. By the end of 2015, that number will be cut in half to about 4,900, and soldiers will be located in two areas: the capital city of Kabul and Bagram Air Base, roughly an hour north of the capital.

Crisis in YemenSaudi Arabia, Iran and the ‘Great Game’ in Yemen
Reminiscent of the "Great Game" played out in Afghanistan between Great Britain and Russia more than a hundred years ago, Saudi Arabia and Iran are engaged in their own decades-long strategic rivalry for power and influence in the Middle East, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf and Arabian Sea. It is built mostly along sectarian and ideological lines - Saudi Arabia as the leader of the Sunni Muslim world, and Iran as the leader of the Shia Muslim world.

U.S. Petroleum LiquidsUS poised to become world’s leading liquid petroleum producer
US crude oil production in August was still lower than either Saudi Arabia’s, at about 9.7m b/d, or Russia’s at 10.1m b/d. The overall US leadership in petroleum is accounted for by its higher production of natural gas liquids such as ethane and propane, which have a lower energy content and are often used as feedstocks for the petrochemical industry rather than for fuel. Still, on current trends the US could catch up with Saudi Arabia and Russia on crude production alone by the end of the decade.

Iran NegotiationsIran’s UN demand emerges as hitch in nuclear talks
Western diplomats said if a final nuclear deal is reached, the United States and European Union would quickly waive and then lift unilateral, proliferation-related economic sanctions on Iran that would provide a rapid windfall to Iran's economy. (However, the US trade embargo on Iran, enacted after Iran's 1979 seizure of the US embassy and hostage crisis, would remain in place, a senior US official said.) A new UN Security Council resolution outlining the deal and what steps all sides had agreed on would also be passed, western diplomat said.

Da'ishThe Economist explains: The many names of ISIS (also known as IS, ISIL, SIC and Da’ish)
There is a long history of pinning unpleasant-sounding names on unpleasant people. Rather as the term Nazi caught on in English partly because of its resonance with words such as "nasty", Da'ish rolls pleasurably off Arab tongues as a close cousin of words meaning to stomp, crush, smash into, or scrub. Picking up on this, France has officially adopted the term for government use, with its foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, explaining that Da'ish has the added advantage of not granting the group the dignity of being called a state.

Weapon Technology and SyriaHow American Precision Weapons Opened the Door to an Arab Coalition
“One of the things you’re seeing in this air campaign is the fruition of two decades of interoperability and procurement activities, training activity and education activities with our allies in the region,” Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday during a press briefing at the Pentagon. These nations “are performing just as well as we are on the issue of precision and reducing the possibility of collateral damage,” Dempsey said.

Yemen UnrestSaudi Arabia warns Yemen violence could threaten global security
In some of his strongest language about Yemen to date, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told the U.N. General Assembly that hopes for an end to the crisis had been wrecked by what he suggested was the Houthis' failure to honor the deal. "The lack of implementation of the security annexe of the agreement and the lack of implementation of the agreement itself in the required manner by the Houthi group has dashed these hopes," he said in a speech circulated by the Saudi mission at the United Nations in New York.

As the world increasingly looks to renewable energy to satiate growing global energy demand, the Middle East is no exception. Across the region, decreasing costs and evolving markets have led to a priming of the Middle East as potentially the next big front for renewable energy.
