WhatsappThe Abraham Accords continue to realign the Middle East as Bahrain, one of the original signatories to the accords met with Israeli official to finalize steps to open its embassy in Israel.

Over the last few weeks as nuclear talks stall between the great powers and Iran as well as the ascendency of Ebrahaim Raisi to the Iranian presidency, the region appears as if is careening towards an all out war.
