AGSIW in Arabic
  الإيرانيون يصرون على أنهم لن يعدلوا اتفاق 2015، بل يريدون عودة واشنطن إليه دون أي تغيير. وليس من الواضح كيف سيسعى بايدن إلى ادراج برامج إيران الصاروخية في إطار اتفاق جديد
  الأولويات المتباينة لإمارتي أبوظبي ودبي أعطت الإمارات العربية المتحدة مجالاً للمناورة، ويتم بشكل متزايد تعزيز عناصر نهجي الإمارتين بالتحديد ضمن استراتيجية موحدة
  جاء تطبيق كلوب هاوس الجديد ليوفر مساحة مطلوبة للآراء المتنافسة ومواصلة النقاشات التي ظلت معلقة منذ سنوات في الخليج
  يبدو أن منتجي أوبك بلس تبنوا موقف الانتظار والترقب، ولكن عندما يصبح الحفاظ على تخفيضات الإنتاج أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة للمنتجين الصغار، فقد تغريهم العوائد النقدية عند ارتفاع الأسعار
  مع اقتراب ليبيا من الذكرى العاشرة لثورة 2011، فإن التدخل الأجنبي قد يقوض جهود تشكيل حكومة مؤقتة وإجراء الانتخابات
