Conflicts in the Middle East have increased the export of Bulgarian weapons by almost 60% in 2016, reaching record levels not seen since the end of Communism.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a series of agreements amounting to $380 billion in his Saudi Arabia visit. He did not refer to any of the Islamophobic speeches we frequently heard during his election campaign. 

The U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Gulf countries are in a very strong alliance. On the other hand, there is the Russia, Iran and Syria bond.

"The previous cautious diplomatic stance of older leading members of the royal family," it wrote, "is being replaced by an impulsive policy of intervention."

In an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya’s sister channel Al-Hadath in Dubai on Monday, the UN Secretary General said a political solution to the Syrian crisis would lead to the end of ISIS.

Antonio Guterres said that the Syrian crisis was the hardest test of the United Nations’ impact on the world and that he sees no end to the refugee crisis in the immediate future.

Bosnian analysts have dismissed sensational claims in the media that Bosnia is a haven for Muslim terrorists, and that Islamic State, ISIS, fighters could pour unchecked into the country.

The current geopolitical scenario in West Asia allows Iran to increase its influence in the (most volatile) region in the world.
