    When Uzbekistan celebrates 35 years of independence on September 1st, Washington should do more than congratulate its people and government. It should recognize a strategic opportunity and make Uzbekistan the anchor of its policy in Central Asia. Uzbekistan is Central Asia's most populous country, strategically located between Russia, China, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Caspian Sea. It is opening its economy, improving relations with its neighbors, and seeking greater integration with global marke

    Pakistan Bets on Security and Trade as Ties with Iran Grow | OilPrice.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Pakistan has played a key role as a mediator in the U.S./Israel war on Iran. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, have raised Pakistan’s profile so much that Foreign Affairs gushed “Pakistan Won the War in Iran.” Pakistan’s leaders are practical men with working relations with Washington and Tehran and are not performing good works to save their immortal souls, but because Pakistan and Iran are “neighbors forever” and they a

    Washington Draws a Line for Iraq’s New Leader | OilPrice.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Iraq’s new prime minister, Ali Al-Zaidi, will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. on 14 July - shortly after America’s Independence Day on July 4th. Trump will no doubt highlight America’s struggle for independence and will press Al-Zaidi to make Iraq independent of Iran, but is Trump ready for an Iraq that is independent of America?
