2. The report stated that consequences of #Iran's meddling include its lethal ballistic missiles, which advanced its proxies military capabilities: "Yemen’s #Houthi militants have fired numerous ballistic missiles into #Saudi Arabia, including two directed at Riyadh in May 2018."
3. The report also indicated that since 2012: "#Iran has spent over $16 billion propping up the #Assad regime and supporting its other partners and proxies in #Syria, #Iraq, and #Yemen."

A key pillar of KSA’s foreign policy is peacemaking; promoting development; and maintaining security.#KSA, with support from the #UAE, achieved the Jeddah Peace Agreement between Ethiopia & Eritrea, which ended 20 years of war and will bring stability, security to a vital region.
KSA has always been at the forefront of reconciliation efforts and promoting peace. While others exploit conflicts to sow division, #KSA mediates, with successful outcomes going back decades, including; Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, among others.
The security of Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Horn of Africa is vital for KSA, the region and the world. Around 15% of the world’s trade passes through this area and KSA will keep working towards safeguarding the region from instability whether it‘s from piracy or Iran's militias.

#Syria's FM Muallem in #Moscow today following trips by #Turkey's @MevlutCavusoglu & #KSA's al-Jubeir. 2/3 of their presser Lavrov and Muallem speak of #US, #Idlib, #Russia/n contacts w/ #Ankara, then Lavrov says.. 1/3
"..from my contacts w/ al Jubeir, other colleagues from the region it appears they all grew stronger in understanding that the reality is government of #Syria providing sovereignty & legitimate security interests of its country."
3/3 #Lavrov concludes: "#Russia always urged unity in #Arab family. Today the family has many problems. But we argue for it to live the way they want in their region. and resist attempts to have their own interests manipulated for the sake of someone else's geopolitical goals."

1/ #SaudiArabia has laws to protect blasphemy of Islam. @JustinTrudeau passed M-103. In #KSA law has criminal penalties.
What’s not to understand?

#RaifBadawi jailed since 2012. Now sister #SamarـBadawi

Law of land affecting every citizen of Saudi Arabia

Price of advocacy
2/ in Canada Henry Morgentaler since 1969 was advocating social change to laws of Canada.

Henry Morgentaler was imprisoned under GVT Pierre Trudeau for 18 months.

That was the law of Canada at time affecting every citizen. Morgentaler knew consequences.

Change happened 1988
3/ it be be my dream that every person in world had individual freedom and protected rights and our legal system but we are in small minority- 6 Billion people don’t - 100s of countries don’t.

You’d think @JustinTrudeau w’d use his love for Castro to free Cubans.

Start there.

1/#Saudi_expels_Canadian_ambassador

Why did Samar go back #KSA after fleeing on fear of death?

Why did @JustinTrudeau use public tweets rather than diplomacy?

What changed for @JustinTrudeau in last few days?

Why not do same with Iran, China + another 100 barbaric countries?
2/

Why didn’t @JustinTrudeau line up ANY allies to shore up support for Canada. USA/UK/France Etc?

Did @JustinTrudeau give a heads up to @realDonaldTrump?

Why did @JustinTrudeau just give $50M to Palestine -who is supporting #SaudiaArabia?

Did @JustinTrudeau even know?
3/
If its strategic direction why didn’t @JustinTrudeau do as he’s done with #KinderMorgan declare #EnergyEast as National Interest pipeline and stop buying #saudi oil

#RaifBadawi sentenced for blogging against Islam. Why did @JustinTrudeau pass M-103 which is lighter version

This gender virtue signalling will destroy Canada.

Canada publicly SILENT on imprisonment of (MALE)Raif Badawi since 2012 — but now creates Diplomatic War with #SaudiArabia

Why is Samar in Saudi Arabia knowingly breaking barbaric regimes laws.

Why must Canadians suffer?
2/ Question not asked by Liberal Trudeau living media:

“Canada has since 2012 on inprisionment oh Raif Badawi not made public statements and worked the quiet diplomatic channels- what changed. Does different gender cause Canada to change diplomatic strategy? If so why? “
3/ Further questions I’d like answers

1. Was Raif a dual citizen
2. Was Samar dual citizen
3. When Canadian citizenship granted
4. Why go to Saudi be activist when no protection of rights in #KSA
5. Do they know there no freedom of speech in #ksa

Countering terrorism was and will always be a priority for #KSA,We have taken great strides in combatting terrorism and extremist ideology, be it from non-state actors like ISIS and AQ or from the leading state sponsor of terrorism; the Iranian regime; two sides of the same coin.
The Iranian regime is infamous for plotting attacks in the MENA region, and also worldwide.Recently in France.Before that: Germany, Argentina,Thailand, and here in DC as few examples,While regime sends out diplomats to smile to the West,its support for terrorism remains unchanged
Iran’s relationship with Al Qaeda dates back to the early 1990’s. When Hizbollah’s Imad Mugniyah met with Osama Bin Laden in Sudan to trade expertise. Both terrorists were united in their goal of attacking KSA and the US.

Top international adviser to #Iran's SP Ali Akbar Velayati speaking @ValdaiClub now:says term #MiddleEast is British concept, he'd rather use West Asia/North Africa,argues due to #US influence some countries seek to play greater regional role (than they can)
Velayati:*throughout history external powers sought to dominate Mideast, #US no exception here, #Libya, #Somalia brought manifestations of western FP,#Trump seeks to undermine region,he wants to partition #Syria as they did w/ 🇱🇾 & #Iraq - bith once big, important states
Velayati: New element is after Islamic Revolution #Iran able to conduct policies independent of Western states, this is real reason why #US seeks to counter IRN.But if ot were not for #Russia & IRN, Leader of Nusra would be ruling today in #Damascus, head of #ISIS-in #Baghdad.

Today,Sadly @Twitter suspended my account after members of cult-like #MEK terror Org reported me because I had criticized violation of Women's Rights in #MEK's camp in #Albania. They also threatened me to death this afternoon. #MEK & #Iran's Islamic Regime are two sides of a coin
#MEK's political wing, #NCRI which is falsely claiming to be secular is forcing its female soldiers to wear Hijab even during their rally in #Paris on 30/06/2018. Speaking about #MEK's violation of women's rights make its leaders angry. This is why #MEK is unpopular in #Iran.
#MEK is being financially supported by #KSA in-order to start a civil war in #Iran similar to what is happening in #Syria now. But hopefully can't because official surveys held by Iranian opposition groups show the group is 2nd most hated Org. after the Islamic Regime in #Iran.

(1) In my latest, I discuss how #Europe could be able to keep #Iran in the deal, and the #JCPOA alive. progressivepost.eu/what-it-will-t…
(2) #Europe must reject notion pushed by #Washington and its allies that being pro-JCPOA means being pro-Iran. Also, #Europe must reject narrative suggesting it puts wedge in transatlantic relations by trying to safeguard JCPOA.
(3) #Iran can be kept in the deal if its economic, political and security dividend makes it conclude it’s better off with the deal. While economic dividend is part of #JCPOA terms, and the other two aren’t, they will play a role in current situation.
