It has been always quite clear that destroying Syrian chemical weapons would have been a difficult mission, but the current situation it's more complicated than expected. The first great problem burst out in December when OPCW was looking for a way to destroy Assad's chemical armoury and no State nor private organization volunteered. Because of that and due to a short amount of available time, OPCW board was forced to solve the “crisis” going with a earlier set aside-option : destroying the chemical material in international waters in more than one step. The second huge problem revealed itself at the end of 2013 and it messed up OPCW schedule: according to their plan, the most dangerous part of Syrian chemical armoury should have been removed from Syrian territory by 31 December but they failed because of bad weather condition and because of the never-ending clashes between Assad's troops and the rebel groups within the ongoing civil war. Now everything it's on move again but the premises aren't really bright.
After ten years, an Italian state plane landed in Tehran on board with the Foreign Minister Emma Bonino, who decided to go and speak in person with the new governing body and therefore with Iranian President Hassan Rohani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif. Italian diplomats accompanying the Bonino, commented on the trip, saying that " years of economic sanctions of the UN, the United States and the European Union have undermined the economy of Iran.

In Syria, Assad’s chemical armoury dismantling process has not suffered from any hitches so far. The first stage ended successfully on last 21 September when the regime delivered its chemical accoutrements inventory to the OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons). The second phase, related to the armoury check, to its destruction and deactivation, it’s now in its key stage; but a huge question mark has risen up. OPCW announced that chemical weapons production gears have been destroyed and that the whole armoury – that, according to OPCW spokesman Christian Chartier, amounts to 1000 chemical agents tons and 290 tons of already developed chemical weapons – has been sealed. But where this armoury is going to be destroyed is not clear at all.
The Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced the end of the negotiations , which lasted four days in Geneva , between the Islamic Republic and the powers of the 5 +1 group (the U.S., Russia, China , Britain, France and Germany) on Iran's nuclear with the phrase "We have reached an agreement ." Barack Obama said that in a hot climate of tension "This is an important first step towards a general agreement today diplomacy has opened a new avenue for a more secure world" and then asked officially , on live TV , Congress of the United States not to impose new sanctions against Tehran because " could blow up this agreement." Iranian President Hassan Rohani said via Twitter that " the vote of the Iranian people to moderation and constructive engagement and the tireless efforts by the negotiating teams will open up new horizons."

While the international community tries to solve the issue of nuclear proliferation, do not calm down the tensions between Iran and Israel: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday has stepped up its campaign against Iran calling attempts to deal with the Islamic Republic, "a exceedingly bad deal "and stating that" it would be a big mistake to equip the most dangerous regime in the 21st century's most dangerous weapon exists, given that the agreement would leave Iran with eighteen thousand centrifuges to enrich uranium in degrees and certainly the 'Iran smantentellerà not a single one. "He concluded by adding" we, the Jewish people, we are here for four thousand years we will not allow the ayatollahs threaten us with nuclear weapons."
The economy of Gaza is collapsing , while the demolition by Egypt of smuggling tunnels along the border of sand that separates the two areas, the demolition of the tunnel is added to the flight of investors and donors fleeing a conflict zone.
