What Iran’s presidential election means for Russia
6 Dec 2016 – On Nov. 29, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a phone conversation during which Rouhani noted that cooperation between Moscow and Tehran in fighting terrorism in Syria “had a historic effect” on regional stability.

MESOP TODAYS OPINION : Iran & Turkey are Dragging Kurds Into Their Cold War in the Middle East
By Abdul-Qahar Mustafa: Abdul-Qahar Mustafa is a graduate student from Saint Louis high school in Canada. He is advocate of justice, democracy and human rights. He currently lives in Sarsang/Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan
The rivalry between Turkey and Iran over dominating the Middle East is not something new. It is in fact the legacy of the historical conflict between two empires, the Persians and Turks who dominated Middle East several times and under different names and ideologies in history. However, these two ethnicities have developed their empires and expanded their interests at the cost of violating human rights of other ethnic minority groups such as the Kurds, Baloches, Arabs, Assyrians, Armenians, Alawis, Yazidis and Greeks.
Today I see that the Turkish and Iranian governments, the offsprings and inheritors of the Ottoman and Safavid empires are carrying out the same mission of their forefathers. They are trying to use the Kurdish population again and again as a tool to undermine the power and influence of one another and expand their own interests in the Middle East.

Tim Mak – 12.05.16 7:00 AM ET – THE DAILY BEAST – The private files outlining hidden agreements in the Iran nuclear deal may be released in one of President Donald Trump’s first actions in office.
Senior officials who will be part of the Trump administration are already discussing what so-far-unseen information about the Iran agreement they will be able to make public after January, according to an individual who has participated in those conversations.Releasing Iran nuclear deal documents would be cheered on by hawkish lawmakers who have opposed the agreement, and bolstered by cabinet appointees who have long called for transparency about it. Michael Flynn, who has been tapped for national security adviser, and Mike Pompeo, who has been picked for CIA director, have both long been bullish on providing transparency on internal information regarding Iran.

Kurdistan’s PUK Lobbying in Washington Threatens Party Gains in Baghdad
7 Dec 2016 – The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) is a divided party. There are two spheres of influence within the PUK, each pursuing a contradicting policy to the other. On one hand, there is the wing led by Hero Ibrahim Ahmed, Jalal Talabani’s wife. This wing has taken to building an alliance with parties in Baghdad, thus strengthening ties with the federal government. On the other hand, there is the wing led by Kurdistan Region’s Vice President, Kosrat Rasul Ali, and former KRG Prime Minister, Barham Salih. This side wants to maintain the current alliance with the region’s incumbent ‘President’ Massoud Barzani and his party, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=80814
