Keeping to their word, the leaders of the Assembly of Expert report to Supreme Leader Khamenei one week from the initial meeting with him. The assembly leaders tell Supreme Leader Khamenei that no candidate emerged as a clear front runner for the position. However, they tell him the names that the assembly decided upon. Supreme Leader Khamenei immediately rules out former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and former President Mohammad Khatami, stating these candidates would harm the future of the Islamic Republic. He also declares former Judiciary Chief Sadegh Larijani does not have enough experience to lead the nation. Therefore, he agrees that either former President Hassan Rouhani or former Judiciary Chief Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi could effectively lead the Islamic Republic, but expresses his preference for succession is Shahroudi.

The dissolution of Parliament and his rise to absolute power was the initial reasoning for the US and Britain to stage a coup état in Iran. The leader of Operation TPAJAX was “Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA agent, and grandson of the former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt”(Hap), but the operation was designed and executed by Donald Wilber. The British and U.S. selected Fazlollah Zahedi also known as General Zahedi, who helped Reza Shah reunify Iran previously. The CIA and MI6 went to Nicosia inside Cyprus to discuss the planning of the coup, they had General Zahedi as their ally, but were reluctant to persuade the Shah. In the meeting in Nicosia “The British said they had recruited two brothers named Rashidian. The Americans, the secret history discloses, did not trust the British and lied about the identity of their best "assets" inside Iran”(Iran chamber). In Tehran the CIA

A good point to start with is Iraq during the Ottoman Empire. In that tenure, there were five grounds in which have raised the sectarian animosity among the Iraqis. 1. The Ottoman to favor the Sunnis' at the expense of the Shia, due to the religious proximity of Shia in Iraq to the Safavid Empire, and due to the fact that the Ottoman envisaged the Safavid as a political rival; thus, this erupted the Ottoman to marginalized the Shia and considered them as an existential threat to the empire. 2. Tribe and Klan, which were profound incentives for the Ottoman, were an excellent way for the Ottoman to grant loyalty out of the tribes. The Ottoman permit the tribes to act individually "semi-autonomous" to collate taxes and ensure populace loyalty

The opposing force was comprised of The United States, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. .

Also a great deal of power in the monarchy was influence from the prime minister. In 1958, the monarchy was overthrown new regimes formed wanting to rule the country and one that formed was the Baath party. The Baath party had a strong mindset to stop any actions that opposed them. Saddam’s rise to power started in college when he became a member of the Baath party. Baath meaning “renaissance” or “resurrection” wanted to unite every Arab in one state promoting "Unity, Liberty, Socialism". As the Baath party power and influence constantly increase, Saddam would have to flee the country because of a plot to try and kill the prime minister. This was because Qasim the prime minister who was allies with many communist that massacred nationalists and some Mosul families. A riot broke out in Kirkuk and an assassination seemed the best way to stop Qasim.. Although after a couple of months the Baath party was overthrown and suppressed by Qasim Saddam Hussein was jailed in reaction to the

As street protests flared for a fifth day, Mr. Mubarak fired his cabinet and appointed Omar Suleiman, his right-hand man and the country’s intelligence chief, as vice president.

realized that he was about to lose everything he had worked for or maybe he was suffering from PTSD from all his times in war but Murat had officially lost his head. On March 15th 1815 Murat declared war on Austria in hopes of creating an independent Italy. Murat thought that by declaring war on Austria it would distract them enough to give Napoleon a little time to re gain his footing but he only made things worse for Napoleon. As the Austrian army grew closer and closer to Naples Murat requested and armistice from the king but none would be given to him. Realizing what was about to happen Murat prepared to flee Naples and on May the 19th Murat would spend his last day with his family whom he would never see again. Murat would spend his reaming months attempting to make his way back to Paris. However he was presented with many challenges as people all over Europe began to hunt down Napoleons great leaders. Murat would spend many nights on the run some of which he spent in the forest foraging for food and trying to stay alive. He came upon a house with a man who once served in the Italian army, he agreed to help Murat find friends and a safe passage to Paris. This proved to be a failed attempt on both Murat and the soilders part as they were made while traveling to Bastia. Meanwhile Murat had gotten news of what happened to his family, they had boarded a British ship and where being sent to live in England. But Murat did not know if his wife and children would be safe, out of everything he lost his wife and children would affect him the most. Murat made it to

For the last fifteen years our nation has taken up a major interest in the Middle East. We were attacked due to the civil unrest and the rise of militant groups and more notably, the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. After the events in the Iraq, new conflict has since arisen in Syria. The problem I wish to identify is the ongoing civil war between various parties and the displacement of millions of Syrian citizens across the borders to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan; as well as the internal displacement of the citizens in the nation itself. The main governing problem is the Ba’ath party with Bashar al-Assad at the head which has ongoing support from the nation of Russia. The opposing forces are the Free Syrian Army, Federation of Northern Syria, ISIS, as well as many other small militant tribes.

Over 560 people were executed this year in Iran (Daftari). Every day, millions of Iranians lack basic human rights and opportunities. This absence of rights and freedoms results in a great exodus and undercuts the intellectual capital of the country. The Islamic Republic of Iran captured the attention of the world because of its persecution towards ethnic minorities, difficulty to find jobs after post-secondary education, and overall hostility with the West. Although Iran is very isolated from much of the outside world since the Islamic Revolution of 1978-1979, its borders have not been closed (Hakimzadeh).

The 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran changed the geo-political landscape of the Middle East and ushered in more than three decades of hostility with the United States. In the aftermath, the leaders of the revolution proclaimed their intent to export their vision of political Islam to the rest of the region and help Iran take its rightful place as a regional hegemon. In 1979, the US was embroiled in the Cold War and in the minds of the American public, the Middle East was little more than a Cold War sideshow. For those who paid attention, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the dominant issue in the region. The overthrow of Mohammed Reza Shah, and the events that followed, forced Iran into the US national consciousness. A little known Shi’a

The Arab league played a contradictory role during the civil war in Syria, with some members of the union supporting the republican forces while others went behind the royal forces led by Imam Mohammed Al-Bdr. Egypt supported the republican forces while Imam Badr received support from Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The republican forces embraced social progress and republicanism, and were mainly present in cities, while Mohammed Al-Bdr forces fought from rural areas. The conflict in Yemen was partially caused by the action of Egypt to send soldiers to support the overthrowing of the royal government. Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the conflict was based on the fear that the war could overspill into its borders, and therefore, it protected its interests by lending material support to Imam Mohammed Al-Bdr (Little 68). The republican forces viewed the provision of material support to royal forces by Saudi Arabia as interference in the internal affairs of Yemen. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia viewed the involvement of Egyptian troops in the conflict as a threat to its oilfields and its monarchy (Terrill and Army War College (U.S.) Strategic Studies
