@IanGranit: "Significantly reducing their fossil fuel production and sales during a time when major countries such as #Germany and the #UnitedStates are begging the #Gulf to supply them with more oil and gas makes little economic sense."

New Dr. @malaloosy: "The devaluation of the Iraqi dinar has triggered a financial crisis inside #Iraq and led to prolonged unrest—but the U.S. has urged #Baghdad to stay the course, motivated in part by the devaluation’s equally negative impact on #Iran."
