Syrian Flag Analysis: ARGUMENTS AGAINST Military Intervention in Syria 8 Feb 2012 by David Roberts
Something needs to be done to stop the Syrian Army killing ever increasing number of its citizens. But Syria is far more complex than Libya and simply sending arms and further internationalising the Syrian Civil War will only exacerbate the war and elongate suffering. A more viable solution is for Arab states to use their muscle as energy suppliers to slow down the Assad regime. Middle East and North Africa Syria Iran The Gulf Region
Khomeni Iranian Revolutionary Guard Analysis: Iran and the West: Playing a Zero-Sum Game 11 Jan 2012 by Shashank Joshi
The killing of a nuclear scientist in Tehran may well be the latest in a line of skirmishes between Iran and its American-led adversaries. Both sides are playing a zero-game, and neither coercive actions nor more negotiations are likely to bring a durable settlement.

2012 button Analysis: Aftershocks and Transitions: an Unashamedly Speculative Look at 2012 15 Dec 2011 by Shashank Joshi

Iran President Thumb Analysis: Devaluing the Dual-Track Approach to Iran 2 Dec 2011 by Andrea Berger
With the ransacking of the British embassy in Tehran, the West has further shrunk its repository of policy options, leaving sanctions as the policy tool of choice. However, while sanctions may slow Iran's forays into the nuclear field, they are unlikely to divert their course entirely.

Roberts_Saudi Arabia RUSI Newsbrief: Saudi Arabia, Stability and the Arab Revolutions 23 Nov 2011 by David Roberts
Saudi Arabia's response to the Arab Spring has ranged from apparent inertia to the financing and leadership of counter-revolution, but at all times the stability of the kingdom has been its primary objective. Middle East and North Africa Iran The Gulf Region
wavyiranianflagthumb Analysis: Iran's Nuclear Ambitions: A Steady Crawl to Breakout Capability 15 Nov 2011 by Professor Malcolm Chalmers, Andrea Berger
The International Atomic Energy Agency's latest report on Iran describes in unprecedented detail a country moving slowly towards a nuclear weapons option, rather than a bomb itself. This lack of a 'smoking gun' removes military response from the international community's toolbox of policy options. But this is no grounds for complacency.

ahmedinejad abdullah thumb Analysis: Has Iran Provided the Justification for War? 18 Oct 2011 by David Roberts
Iran is accused of attempting to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the United States on American soil. It is the stuff of spy thrillers. If proved true, then both Saudi Arabia and the United States are well within their rights to declare war on Iran. Why would Iran embark on such an irrational action at a time of great internal and external vulnerability? Middle East and North Africa Iran
wavyiranianflagthumb Analysis: Iran alleged Saudi plot promotes a dialogue of the deaf 18 Oct 2011
There are many questions remaining in the accusations that Iran planned to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the United States. Yet the consequences are real: the failed plot, regardless of its actuality, heightens Iran’s conspiratorial view of the international community, while further closing hope for dialogue.
