Anything going on outside of Iran?

I'm going to try to get 5 posts in a row, after this one, that do not mention Iran at all. Iran has taken the role as by far the most effective opposition to US/Israeli hegemony not only right now, but of this generation. The dispute in the Middle East today is the dispute between Iran and the US and Israel. The dispute is over the Palestinians, but those in the West Bank are indirectly ruled by the Americans and those in Gaza are largely, though not fully boxed in directly by the Egyptians and indirectly by the Americans.

The Palestinians, sadly and due to huge expenditures of resources by the US and Israel, are not the most important direct agents in the campaign for the recognition of their rights.

The Saudi and Egyptian leaders are still solidly in the pro-US/Israel camp but have not seemed to be moving independently in any interesting way.

Iran has had a dramatic last few months, but even though it is not widely understood, Iran has reached a steady state. Iran will discuss fueling its medical reactor and will be in somewhat broad talks with the US over its nuclear program and it will not suspend enrichment.

So we'll see what we can come up with outside of Iran to write about.
