1. The #Iran Action Group created by @SecPompeo last month released its report. Iran's role in the region, which other administrations overlooked, appears to be under intense scrutiny. #Houthis in #Yemen have been identified alongside groups responsible for attacks against the US 
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."
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

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.

Start there.

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?

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?

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? “

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)
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
Upon the request of the president of Afghanistan; His Majesty King Salman announced his hope for the continuation of reconciliation efforts between the Afghani Government and Taliban.
#KSA will continue to support peace and political reconciliation in Afghanistan, and to provide assistance for efforts to establish a ceasefire that serves the interests of the Afghani people.
#KSA’s leading role as a leading country in the Muslim world is crucial for achieving peace and stability in the region and the world; which is vital to succeed in efforts to combat terrorism, extremism and violence.

(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.What's next for us?The most dangerous line of the confrontation is in #Syria.

2. Despite the UN vote #Moscow stands firm in its position:Western media campaign around East #Ghouta is "crocodile tears","they been silent on militants shelling of #Damascus for 2 years now that #SAA,RU go after militants (yes,not only HTS)everyone suddenly cares for civilians"
