CHANCELLERY: FIRST DAUGHTER CHRISTINA CROSS-KOMARUDIN SWORN IN AS DEPUTY CHAIRWOMAN OF NEWLY-FORMED NATIONAL CLIMATE COMMISSION [/list]
[sub]In a surprising, and what many called slightly risky, move, the National Parliament swore in First Daughter Christina Cross-Komarudin as the Deputy Chairwoman of the newly formed National Climate Commission, established to monitor, regulate, and tax greenhouse emissions in the country, as well as working with the Environmental Ministry to conduct conservation operations. Many were extremely surprised when it was announced the First Daughter was nominated by Parliament to serve as Deputy Chairwoman, subordinate only to Chairwoman Rose Alatas, previously a Member of Parliament. The Chancellery stated that the First Daughter is more than capable of serving as Deputy Chairwoman, labelling her as a wide reader with a strong vocabulary, and extremely versed in national politics, environmental conservation, and foreign policy. Christina's apparent interest in politics have had many people wondering whether she will follow in her mother's footsteps and run for High Chancellor in the future, or possibly Foreign Minister. She showed foreign policy prowess when she reportedly gave an argument regarding the recent Altay tank purchase, claiming that the Altay would be better than an M1 Abrams not in firepower terms, but in diplomatic terms. Her interest in climate change was also shown when she attended a public Environmental Minister conference regarding CO2 emissions and limiting greenhouse gasses. On March 11, Christina Cross-Komarudin was sworn in as Deputy Chairwoman of the National Climate Commission. She spoke in front of the National Parliament, promising to to her best to 'protect and defend Indonesia's natural riches and beauty'. [/sub]

[list][sub]"Thank you, Prime Minister. Iranian investments and support will surely boost our....classified programs tenfold and will result in benefits such as profit being reaped sooner rather than later. Now, as you mentioned, Iran wishes for a fully functional satellite constellation in high and low orbit. Indonesia currently possesses the R8 rocket, capable of achieving up to a Molniya and even a Lunar orbit if needed. If Iran is willing, we could discuss the possibility of a multi-year launch deal to launch Iranian satellites on Indonesian rockets. Prices will, however, vary depending on the size and weight of the payload. I assure you that the price of an R8 launch will surely not exceed $70 million USD per launch. What are your thoughts, Prime Minister?"[/sub][/list]

PHILIPPINES ACCEPTS R8 LAUNCH DEALS, AND ASSISTANCE FOR AYALA 6
Child in Space Program to Halt LEO Flight to Conduct More Safety Checks
The newly created Ayala Space has began development on it's Ayala 6 rocket, graciously accepting the $35 million USD. In the meantime, the Philippines is announcing a $200 million USD yearly pledge to future IPDEC space ventures.
Ayala Space has since manufactured its first satellite, given the name of AyalaSat 0001, a communications satellite.
The Philippine Space Agency is also planning on performing the first asteroid mining operations by 2029, alongside sending a litany of satellites into the orbit of Earth, including a few ones that will be geostationary over the Philippines.
Even the Philippine National Police is planning on deploying satellites in low earth orbit to further ease the costs of searching for illegal activity.
At the First Child in Space program, the LEO flight is expected to be delayed even further as concern from the Indonesian government drives the Philippines to perform even more safety checks. The FCS has recieved an extra $62 million USD in funds for further research into the effects of space travel on kid's health.
Rumours are spreading that local fast food chain Jollibee may want to launch a 6-piece bucket of their signature item Chickenjoy into orbit, which may make it the first fast food to enter space.

Yes, Sudan has something to prove to its people that it can surely stand tall but Sudan has been a loyal friend and ally to Iran; therefore, it would tarnish the Iranian reputation and legitimacy if we were to just abandon Khartoum.

Iran will be seeking to produce its own launch rockets and expand our space agency while we continue to work with Indonesia for the time being.

ÉLYSÉE PALACE: A RACE FOR TOTAL SUPREMACY - MACRON BEGINS CAMPAIGN FOR RE-ELECTION
[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2024 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF DÈMOCRATIE, PALAIS DE LELYSÉE - | As the clock begins to narrow down and May fast approaches, President Emmanuel Macron has stepped out into the spotlight a little more recently, traveling all over the country to campaign for support in the 2024 Presidential Election as well as support for his robust political party En Marche ! in the concurrent parliamentary elections. Macron's wish to hold onto power for at least another 7 years per the extension of the presidential mandate from 5 to 7 years is a very real threat to his political rivals and election competitors such as Marine Le Pen (National Rally), Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Debout la France), Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France Insoumise), Jean-Frédéric Poisson (Christian Democratic Party), and François Asselineau (Popular Republican Union). This is however the first presidential election where the Communist Party or any other communist faction has not taken part due to Regulation 788/2020 which formally banned all communist parties and factions in the Vth Republic on the grounds of national security concerns. With President Macron's approval rating still soaring above 60% and his political, diplomatic, economic, and military accomplishments out shadowing all modern day French politicians, Macron has aligned himself with figures such as Charles de Gaulle and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. It will indeed be a hard race to win for those who would challenge the man who has brought so much to France in the last 7 years. The world will have to wait and see. |[/sub]

Arab-Persian Cooperation Accords Signed With Alzarikstan
__________
BAGHDAD - Today the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a new deal establishing a set of bilateral relations with Iran. The Arab Federal States, previously as Iraq, had a series of agreements and cooperative deals with Iran, but many were tied to Irans status within MECO. Following its departure from MECO, Baghdad-Tehran relations were left nebulous. The Foreign Ministry has sought to reaffirm them however, and the Arab-Persian Cooperation Accords are the result. Seeking to reaffirm the Arab States commitments to cooperation with Iran, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi met with officials in Tehran to discuss the agreement.
The deal is a wide-reaching alliance, encompassing several matters. Firstly, is the reinstatement of a Free-Trade Agreement between the countries. An FTA with Iran carries distinct importance to Baghdad as roughly a third of the AS imports come from the Pesian Gulf States. It affirms a continuing positive business relationship with Iran, ranging from crude oil to TVs to ballistic missiles. Perhaps more important then the economic cooperation however, is the security agreements. Iran and the AS have agreed to a defense treaty that would call both countries to the defense of each other in the event of an attack. The Arab and Persian Navies will also cooperate on security in the Persian Gulf, initiating a joint anti-piracy and smuggling mission aiming to make the Persian Gulf some of the safest waters in the world. Additionally, a company of Iranian military advisors have been dispatched to the Iraq State, where the ISF threat is the worst. The advisors will assist the Counter-Terrorism Bureau and Arab Special Operations Forces in their efforts against the ISF.
In the current political realignment of IREXIT, the Foreign Ministry has sought to make its place in the region clear. While President Khalil has already clarified that Irans withdrawal does not damage Baghdad-Tehran relations, its also been made clear that advancing relations with Iran does not indicate a reduction in AS commitment to MECO and the Arab League. Baghdad doesnt believe it has to choose between Iran and other Middle Eastern partners and remains committed to pursuing ties with both. The Accords come at a time of uncertainty as MECOs anchor state moves on and the organization's future is unclear. Foreign Minister Safadi stated that Baghdad believes in a future of Middle Eastern and Arab cooperation and alliance with Iran, even if that does not take the form of MECO and that Baghdad is willing to take action to realize it.

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]
[sub]Korea Officially Withdraws From the IPDEC Following EESO Announcement[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Today the Korean National Assembly voted for formal withdrawal from the Indo-Pacific Defense & Economic Committee as an observer, the Kingdom's short time within the organisation was seen as an odd choice for Korea, but following the collapse of the SGRI many saw a panicking Korean Government latch onto the nearest organisation. It follows the Fannoucement of the formation of the Eurasian Economic & Security Organisation, which stemmed from King Ahnjong's trip to Tehran to meet with Prime Minister al-Khalifa of Iran.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Governing Justice Party has accused the opposition parties of stitching up the Government into positions it doesn't wish to take. The accusation was met with taunts and laughter in the National Assembly with some assembly members shouting the phrase 'call an election then', the Justice Party currently operates in a minority capacity as although it is the largest party it is still 81 seats short of a majority. Conservative opposition leader, Na Kyung-won, called the move towards the EESO a sensible and common sense decision, and said that if the Justice Party was unhappy they should step aside for the real grown ups.[/sub] |
| [sub]In a short statement King Ahnjong stated that Korea would take the neccessary and respectful steps to withdraw observer status, and fully join the newly forming EESO. He praised the 'productive and frank discussions' held in Tehran, and said the organisation presented ample oppertunities for Korea and its new allies. When pressed on whether Korea was brewing a new cold war with its neighbours, he stringently denied the accusations calling them 'baseless' and 'media nonsense'.[/sub] |
| [sub]Time will tell how long the organisation lasts, and indeed how long the Government is set to last. Conservative and liberal figures are hailing it as a new dawn for co-operation across Eurasia, and the organisation which will help Korea flourish. Progressives are more skeptical.[/sub] |

The introduction of the KF-21 will provide Iran with an extreme leverage within the Middle Eastern region with a modernized 4.5 generation multirole aircraft. In the meantime, Iran has acquired 50 x FA-50 Light Combat Aircraft variants of the KAI T-50 Golden Eagle. The variant of the KF-21 Iran seeks to produce will allow for the usage of precision-guided munition kits currently produced out of the Persian Arab Gulf States in addition to the intended payloads of the aircraft.

This goal that has been set will not only be good for the world, he said, but also for our economy and our global position. "An aggressive method of global warming will bring about a change in our industrial and economic structure that will make Japan grow strongly," said Mr. Suga, answering questions that warn of the consequences that this would have on the economy. "I also take the opportunity to announce that Japan is calling a Climate Summit with world leaders to discuss the issue [...] We must all work together to make the world sustainable in the future," declares the Prime Minister after closing the speech.[/sub]

[sub]A Fist Full of Rage[/sub]
| Ah yes, Brussels, the seat of the Federation's Interparliament and the epicenter of all the drama that goes along with it. The Federal Interparliament consists of 49 members: 21 Members of interparliament from Belgium, 21 from the Netherlands and seven from Luxembourg. The 21 Belgian members are elected from amongst both Chambers of the Belgian Federal Parliament and by the Parliaments of the Communities and Regions of Belgium. The 21 Dutch members are elected from the Senate and House of Representatives of the States General of the Netherlands. The seven Luxembourgian members are elected from amongst the Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg. There is also one acting member for each of the 49 members, who can replace that member if necessary. |
| Setting the complexity of this organization aside, today is a very important day due to the fact the Dutch parliamentary elections are now underway and a shakeup of the status quo could see repercussions across all three co-equal monarchies. The Netherlands is the largest and arguably most influential of the Lowland states, thus the outcome of next year's general election is on the minds of everyone. Tensions are high and anything could happen. |
Bruxelles, District de la Capitale
| Several interparliamentarians could be seen entering the Federation's Assembly Chamber, one of which is Geert Wilders. Mr. Wilders is the brash, controversial, Islamophobic, and eurosceptical head of the Dutch Party for Freedom, the main rival of the incumbent Mark Rutte and the People's Party For Freedom and Democracy. Mark Rutte has served as the Dutch Prime Minister since 2010. Having lost to Mr. Rutte 2 times in the past, Wilders sees the 2025 election as his chance to finally take the reigns of the Netherlands from his rival and assert Dutch hegemony in the Federation. |
[list]Geert Wilders turns to his protégé Hendrik Bijker and scoffs as they both take their respective seats.[/list]
Geert Wilders, Head of the Party for Freedom: "This is my election, Hendrik. We will win and we will turn this all around for the Netherlands." Wilders turns to face the representatives of the Belgians and Luxembourgers, still speaking to Mr. Bijker as he does so. "Look at those fools. How much more humiliation can we take? Why do I, a patriotic Dutchman, have to travel to Brussels and bend the knee to the Federation's institutions? Why is French the language of politics? It should be Dutch. All this land was once Dutch, Hendrik." Wilders closes his eyes and sighs as he turns to face his protégé once more. "Don't even get me started on the European Union. What kind of pathetic existence is this? The Netherlands is in a geopolitical union within a geopolitical union. We used to be a world power god damn it!"
[list]A group of Walloon representatives overhear Wilders and begin to mock him.[/list]
Raymond Charbonneau, Representative of Bouillon: "Geert why are you shouting?" Raymond chuckles. "You haven't even lost the Dutch election yet. Oh wait, you have.. TWICE!" Raymond and the other Walloons proceed to laugh loudly in their typical stuck up Walloon manner inherited from their French kin, garnering the attention of the other representatives around them. "Hon Hon Hon, Look at the spawn of your people. Afrique du Sud is an uncivilized society and Indonésie was once one under Hofting. Les Pays-Bas would also be uncivilized if it wasn't for us Walloons and the Federation. You'd be lost without us. So don't even talk."
Wilders, his face twisted in rage, lashes out at Raymond and the rest of the Walloons for their insults. Raymond then proceeds to taunt Wilders by pointing at his jaw and winking.
Raymond Charbonneau, Representative of Bouillon: "Go ahead, Geert. Punch me in the jaw right here. Punch me go ahead."
[list]The rest of the Walloons proceed to mock Wilders. Meanwhile, Wilders screams at the top of his lungs and lunges at Raymond, punching him square in the jaw, knocking him out instantly in the process. Soon after, the rest of the Walloons join in on the fight and begin assailing Wilders with their fists and kicking him with their shoes. Wilders soon falls to the ground. It is then that several armed guards rush into the interparliament and restore order, dragging the agitating Walloons and Wilders out of the chamber.[/list]
| The events of the meeting were televised throughout the Federation that night. Comedians took the time to mock the incident, ridiculing Wilders and the Walloons. Meanwhile news anchors took a more serious tone and took this opportunity to rebuke Wilders for his rhetoric that started the incident in the first place and questioning whether or not his candidacy for Dutch Prime Minister was in jeopardy. In his hospital bed at CHU Saint-Pierre in Brussels, Geert Wilders could be seen sucking on a juice box as he watches a late night comedy show ridiculing him. His eyes glare at the screen as he crushes his juice box and tosses it into the garbage next to him. |
Geert Wilders: "I don't think I'll be eating my apple sauce tonight." Wilders turns off his tv and groans as he turns on his side. "They will see when I win. They're all going to pay. Everyone. Will. P-."
[list]A knock at the door interrupts Wilders' monologue. Moments later, a nurse enters the room.[/list]
Nurse: "Mr. Wilders, would you like your apple sauce? Have you finished your juice?"
[list]Wilders looks over his shoulder at the nurse and looks at her with disdain.[/list]
Geert Wilders, Head of the Party for Freedom: "No, I think I'll be okay for the rest of the night."
[list] The nurse smiles and nods at Wilders before exiting the room.[/list]

CHANCELLERY: CARBON NEUTRAL GOAL BY 2045 ESTABLISHED, INDONESIA UNVEILS GOVERNMENT-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO FURTHER CLEAN ENERGY DEPENDENCY [/list]
[sub]Following in Tokyo's footsteps, the Chancellery of Indonesia announced a carbon neutral goal by 2045, which plans to neutralize national carbon emissions by January 2045. The government is also taking a similar stance in climate change as the Maharani administration, calling for global unity in the fight against climate change although such a fight could have minor economic implications. With similar words, High Chancellor Komarudin stated, 'we must fight climate change, no matter what economic impact, because I believe that our only, I repeat, only, home is in danger and we have to do something to protect it'. Indonesia will also be attending the Tokyo Climate Summit 2024 to solidify its clean energy stance on the world stage. It also seems that the High Chancellor's clean energy stance runs in the family. Christina Cross-Komarudin, who was recently assigned to the position of Deputy Chairwoman of the National Climate Commission, has began advocating for a global pledge to neutralize carbon emissions by 2050. She will also be one of the Indonesian delegates to the Tokyo Climate Summit, along with Rose Alatas, Jokowi Widodo and Ernest Rian. According to the First Daughter, she knows 'she'll turn heads at the Summit' due to her youth. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government has unveiled several government-private partnerships to increase and further the country's clean energy dependency. New 2,500 megawatt solar farms will be constructed, as well as new geothermal and hydroelectric power plants. The High Chancellor has stated that 'the national dependency on fossil fuels and non-renewable sources of energy must halt if we are to continue living healthily on this planet'. The Indonesian government recognizes the possible economic impact of the clean energy push, but reiterates that the safety of the planet is more important. [/sub]

ISA: THIRD R8 ROCKET LAUNCH ANNOUNCED SUCCESSFUL, PLACES GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS MONITORING AND WEATHER ANALYSIS SATELLITE INTO GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT ABOVE INDONESIA [/list]
[sub]The shocking rapidity of R8 launches out of South Borneo have stunned much more people after a third R8 rocket was rolled out onto the launch pad at the Space Center. For this third launch, the Indonesian Geosynchronous Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Satellite (IGMS) will be launched into a geosynchronous orbit above Indonesia. The satellite, funded by the University of Jakarta, Scientific Institute of Medan and the National Aeronautics Institute of Indonesia, will monitor national greenhouse gas emissions and will conduct weather analysis to better help farmers' crop yields. The satellite arrived at the Space Center in February 2024 for integration into the third R8 rocket manufactured by the ISA, which finished manufacturing in mid-March 2024. This launch yielded less spectators, but many were still pressed to their television screens as the rocket fuelled up for launch on March 21, 2024. The rocket finished fuel loading as planned, and at 3:24AM local time, the first night launch, the R8 screamed into the sky, carrying its vital payload into space. Second and third stage ignition were successful, and forty minutes after liftoff, the satellite entered its geosynchronous orbit over Indonesia. The satellite began operations the next day, and recorded almost 25% less carbon emissions in the country compared to five years ago. The next R8 launch is slated for mid April, with the one after that in late April. The Space Administration has reiterated it will continue with its rapid launch schedule until the Pontianak facility is opened in autumn 2024. [/sub]

Prime Minister al-Khalifa:
[list][sub]"I believe that is all or space and we can move toward discussions of energy and cleaner energy. I will be honest before we begin, as Iran possesses the 2nd largest deposits of oil in the world and the largest deposits of natural gas, Iran must utilize its resources of adequate supply to the demands of the world. Granted interests in crude oil have indeed decreased; however, the interests in natural gas has steadily increased since the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. As Iran is a stable, secure supplier of natural gas to the world, it is quite difficult for Iran to just reduce supply so suddenly or to partake in a procedure that will cut deep into the energy revenue that is still depended on despite Iran having a diverse economy."[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]BELGIUM, NETHERLANDS, AND LUXEMBOURG SIGN NEW POLICING TREATY AND SIGNAL FURTHER INTEGRATION OF THEIR RESPECTIVE POLICE FORCES.[/sub][/list]
[list]| Following weeks of deliberation, debate, and stalling by Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party, the 2024 Benelux Police Integration Treaty was passed 34/49. The new police treaty will improve the exchange of information, create more opportunities for cross-border action and facilitate police investigations in the Federation. In 2004, a Treaty on cross-border cooperation between the Benelux police forces was concluded. This has been completely revised and expanded with the new treaty. The Benelux countries are at the forefront of the European Union in this respect. |
| This new Treaty will allow direct access to each other's police databases on the basis of hit/no hit. In addition, direct consultation of police databases will be possible during joint operations and in common police stations. It will also be possible to consult population registers within the limits of national legislation. In the future, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera data, which play an increasingly important role in the fight against crime, can be exchanged between the Benelux countries in accordance with their own applicable law. Police and judicial authorities will also work more closely with local authorities to exchange information on organized crime in a more targeted way (administrative approach) in accordance with national law. The Treaty makes cross-border pursuit a lot easier and broadens the investigative powers of Benelux police officers. For example, it will be possible to continue a lawful hot pursuit in one's own country across the border, without the thresholds for criminal offences that characterize the current regulation. Another new feature of the Treaty is that a police officer can, under certain conditions, carry out cross-border investigations. |
| The existing intensive cooperation in the field of police liaison officers, joint patrols and checks as well as the provision of assistance at major events will be maintained. In addition, the possibilities for cross-border escort and surveillance missions and for operating on international trains will be considerably extended. In the event of a crisis situation, special police units will now be able to act across borders; this can also be used to support important events with a high security risk, such as a NATO Summit. | [/list]
[list][sub]GEERT WILDERS AND WALLOONS REPREMENDED AND FINED BY THE FEDERAL INTERPARLIAMENT FOR THEIR ROLE IN INSTIGATING A FIST FIGHT WITHIN ITS SACRED HALLS.[/sub][/list]
[list]| Following Tuesday's fist fight that left Raymond Charbonneau unconscious and Geert Wilders beaten on the floor of the assembly, the Interparliament has since ordered that all parties involved be fined 20,000 Euros for their breech of Interparliamentary rules and etiquette. In addition, Geert Wilders has also been placed under investigation for his hateful rhetoric. This isn't the first time the controversial Dutchman has been investigated for his hate speech. Back in 2008, 2009, and 2010, Wilders faced investigations for his Islamophobia and anti immigrant sentiments. All these trials were tossed aside as it was ruled that Wilders had the right to speak his mind. The court stated "that comments are hurtful and offensive for a large number of Muslims does not mean that they are punishable. Freedom of expression fulfils an essential role in public debate in a democratic society. That means that offensive comments can be made in a political debate." However, knowing the fact that this new case will be tossed aside is completely irrelevant. It's a symbolic message that Wilders' views although tolerated, are not condoned by civilized society. |[/list]
In response to the Interparliament's ruling, Wilders took to twitter to express his views: ( https://i.imgur.com/w8I7waH.png )

[sub]Tehran Square
Tehran, Alzarikstan[/sub]
The Beginning of the Counter-Revolution: Rise of the Coalition of the Four Corners (ائتلاف چهار گوشه)
Since the previous administration of Prime Minister Nouri, Iran has found itself in a weird sense of limbo regarding the direction the public is seeking to go. Iran, having been ruled by a powerful matriarch system since the 1950s, was the global bastion of feminism and a force of gender equality, development, and paleo-liberalism across the Middle Eastern world. However, underneath that massive welfare belly has always been an underlying counter-revolution looking for opportune moments to replace the matriarchal system and upend the institutions that have kept the true power and prestige of Iran chained and locked away.
Since the moments of the Iranian assault onto Turkish positions, there has been continual protests in Tehran Palace demanding answers, change, and a clear rejection of the feminist structures that has led to this crossroads in Iranian cultural and social identity. Amongst the growing crowds pushing for a change in course of action for Iran is the embryonic group known as the "Coalition of the Four Corners" (ائتلاف چهار گوشه); representing a spectrum of liberal and conservative Iranian imperialists who agreed that the domain of Iran has not been fulfilled and moreover, that non-Iranian Arabs were the ones that sought to destroy Iran in the 1960s and 1970s; therefore, it is not the job of Iran to play welfare overseer to "ungrateful Arabs".
Since the incorporation of Bahrain, UAE, and Qatar in the 1950s and 1960s, the Arab mentality of these Gulf States have structurally changed over the course of generations to be more aligned to Tehran rather than the Arab World at large. Being as though the GDP per capita is nearing $40,000, the conditions of affluence thwarts sympathetic gestures to non-Iranian Arabs and their conditions. Despite the interim Prime Minister being an Arab appointed by the Shah, the Coalition of the Four Corners do not have a problem with Prime Minister al-Khalifa so long as he continues to adhere his loyalty and allegiance to Tehran. In Tehran Square, the CFC made their presence known wearing uniformed green uniforms waving the flag of Iran and passing out pamphlets demonizing the past 70+ years of feminist dictatorial rule over Iran. Some of the more vocal members of the CFC would state on loud speakers that "it was through coercion, force, and State-sponsored violence that kept this feminist facade in prominence while keeping the true Iranians and the golden heart of Persia locked away to be never seen again. Well the Sons and Daughters of Darius and Cyrus, and the Great King Arsaces I and Shahanshah Ardashir I will no longer be ignored as we demand our country back in the glorious name of our ancestors!"
The CFC, recently approved to become a political entity within the Iranian Parliament is proactively engaging with the public to ensure increases in their probability of securing at least 10 seats within the Parliament to ensure a minority voice; however, Chairman of the CFC, Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan, has indicated that the CFC is out to make history and ensure a landslide victory within Parliamentary elections that will allow for it to either take the reins of forming a coalition government or supplant a big enough majority that a coalition government is not needed and the keys of power is seized. Making it very clear, Chairman Dehghan has insisted that the CFC is staunchly Pro-Shah and will only support and commit to policies and actions that serves the empowerment of the Shah, the empowerment of Iran, and the enrichment of the Iranian people first above all.

Andromeda 1 : 40 years of European space cooperation soon to end in the Interstellar
Launched on the 20th august 1977 from Korou in France, Andromeda's journey took it to the planets of Jupiter and Saturn. The precision to observe these two planets was as close as trying to reach a golf hole from a distance of 3630 kilometers.
At this time, Andromeda is at a distance of 20,8 billion kilometers away from Earth and continues to communicate with Earth even 40 years after just as NASA's Voyager. It takes nearly 20 hours for Andromeda to communicate something.
Has Andromeda really left the Solar System ? It depends says Professor Garry Steinbecker from ESA.
"If we define the Solar System as the gravitational pull of the sun, meaning the area here gravity from the Sun is high than of the nearest starts, then this area is as large as two light years or 19 000 billion kilometers. In this case, Andromeda is far far far from leaving the Solar System. So if we compare this as walking from West Berlin to East Berlin, Andromeda only did 5 meters..."
But according to Professor Peter Von Bruck also from ESA, "the Solar System can also be the magnetic influence of the Sun. Therefore, in this definition, Andromeda has already reached the great Interstellar."
However, the days of finding something for Andromeda are far from happening. Andromeda which is heading to the constellation Ophiuchus will reach the Gliese star in 40 000 YEARS, located 17 light years from the sun and heading to it at approximately 120km/s.
Voyager 2 sister will reach Ross 248, another star, also at this time.
Sadly in 40 000 years, Andromeda and Voyager will no longer make any transmissions to Earth. Their generators lose 4 watts per year, 5 for Andromeda. Experts believe that in 2 years, both probes will be definitely out of service and simply hang out in space as ambassadors of humanity for space.

[list][sub]"Well, of course, Prime Minister. I understand that Iran's economy and exports are built on the vast oil reserves of the Iranian nation, so maybe we could take the transition slow and steady. As Indonesia is already experienced with the harnessing of energy from natural gas, we are willing to invest in Iranian natural gas efforts to boost renewable energy production.

DEFENSE MINISTRY: IPDEC JOINT MARINE FORCE ASSAULTS ISF HIDEOUT IN SOUTH BORNEO, SEIZES STOLEN WEAPONS, EXPLOSIVES, AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS [/list]
[sub]The Defense Ministry last Wednesday declassified a joint Indonesian-Bangladeshi marine assault on an ISF convoy in South Borneo, seizing 45 ISF insurgents, killing 24, while sustaining 9 Indonesian and 2 Bangladeshi casualties. The convoy was spotted by a National Intelligence Agency (NIA) operative leaving a known black market chemical weapons hideout on March 18, and the convoy was tracked. The chemical weapons hideout was raided hours later, and it was discovered that 12 chemical weapons canisters were sold to the ISF convoy. On March 19, a Bangladeshi infantry company, the 21st Marine Company, and the 2nd Motorized Company departed the Pontianak military installation on helicopters and transport trucks. At 7:32PM local time, the marine force arrived at the last known location of the convoy, along a small two-lane road that snaked across the coast. The military troops arrived at the last known location, and spotted a camouflaged side road that led to an abandoned farm. The commanders immediately called for a F-16 airstrike on the farm, but a junior captain claimed such a strike would destroy evidence of ISF dealings with chemical weapons. The commanders grunted and fired a grenade at the farm, blowing the front door up. The marines, positioned in an arrow position behind the commander, fired their automatic rifles into the farm, killing 12 ISF insurgents on the spot. A Pindad Anoa APC behind the marines fired into the farm, destroying an ammunition pile and 6 more ISF insurgents. One of the ISF insurgents rushed to an unmarked black canister with a chemical weapons symbol stamped onto it, and turned the knob on top. One of the marines, a Bangladeshi, jumped onto the insurgent and toppled the canister, barely preventing it from opening. The Bangladeshi died after two ISF insurgents fired onto him in a failed attempt to save their comrade, now under the body weight of the Bangladeshi marine. Thirty minutes later, the skirmish ended with an escaped ISF van crashing into a stoplight two kilometers from the farm, and was surrounded by police officers. The Defense Ministry announced the seizure of 250 AK-47 assault rifles, 15 self-made explosive devices, as well as 12 Sarin chemical weapons canisters. The farm was seized by the government and the area began cleaning operations to remove any traces of the gas. The Health Ministry as issued a statement warning civilians to wear face masks when entering crowded areas in ISF areas of interest. [/sub]

[sub]KENNEDY SPACE CENTER[/sub]
| AUTHORIZED by President Donald J. Trump in December 2017 officially, the Artemis Program had become The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s spearhead project since 2011. Now, six years and three NASA administrators later, the first Artemis astronauts would finally prepare to take flight. Mirroring the Apollo missions of the 60s and 70s, Artemis would mark the first time astronauts travel around the Moon since 1972, and the first time a woman and a non-American took the flight. The Artemis 2 mission is a part of a much larger operation. The Artemis Program is an international collaboration funded mostly by the United States government with the goal of returning humans to the Moon. The program also seeks to set up the lunar Gateway, a space station that would sit in the Moons orbit to provide a gateway for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and deeper into the solar system. Artemis 1 launched in November 2021. It was an unmanned test flight of the same route the Artemis 2 astronauts would take.
NASA selected 18 astronauts to make the historic missions. Of those, only 7 will make it to space. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) selected its own astronauts to join the Artemis 2 mission. Years of rigorous training would determine the best of the best of the best for the mission.

At Kennedy Launch Complex 39B, the Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1B would stand at an impressive 365 ft, taller than the Statue of Liberty. Coolant steam would be emitted from the rocket until launch. Sitting on top of the SLS as its only payload, the Orion capsule would house the Artemis 2 crew. They would eagerly await their launch as NASA Administrator Clayton Turner would make a speech. After finishing the preflight procedure checklist, ground control would get the all-clear to launch SLS.
[list]T-minus 5 seconds... 4... 3... 2... 1... liftoff![/list]
Live spectators would stand in awe as the massive engines of the SLS would burst to life with exhaust. Their eyes would follow its journey up into the atmosphere until it would disappear from vision beyond the horizon, its great size reduced to a mere speck among the early morning stars. From Orion, the crew members would prepare for the long trek ahead of them. The cryogenic propulsion stage would finish its burn and disconnect, propelling the capsule into high Earth orbit in the next burn. Following a successful systems check by its crew, Orion would make its final disconnection from SLS. Artemis 2 would begin the 4-day long trans-Lunar leg of the journey...

[list]| [sub]CLAYTON TURNER, Administrator of NASA[/sub] | This is ground control to Artemis 2, we hear you loud and clear![/list]
The Artemis 2 crew would begin their live stream back to Earth. Through the media facilities at ground control, the whole world would be able to watch the broadcast.
[list]| [sub]Lt. Com. KAYLA BARRON[/sub] | Thank you, Clayton! Welcome everyone to the first live stream of our 10-day journey. We are so honored to be a part of this new age in space exploration with you all. We have a lot of guests to introduce and questions to answer, so stay tuned! This will be a very exciting few hours to come.[/list]
All 4 crew members would talk to their families and friends back home on Earth. The live stream would also feature multiple special guests including Buzz Aldrin, President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Prime Minister Andrew Scheer briefly. To finish off the stream, the astronauts would take questions from school children.
Four days later, the Orion capsule would sit 4,000 miles above the moon in orbit. It would paint a surreal image in their minds. Man made this odyssey over 60 years earlier, yet here they are making the same headlines. They would think about how a year after them, Artemis 3 will land on that grey ball of dust. They are just a writ of passage for the world, paving the way for the future. After the finishing flyby, the 4-day return to Earth would begin. There would be one last live stream before the crews return to the Terran surface. The service module would detach from the crew pod.
[list]25,000 MPH[/list]
[I]The tiny capsule would zoom alone through the sky in reentry. With flames forming below them, the astronauts would experience the intense heat of the atmosphere. Parachutes deploy! Only minutes now to impact. Every one of the members had been to the International Space Station and back already in their careers, but this descent would be one to remember. Ground control would call out to them altitudes in real-time. Then finally: splashdown! Amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima would arrive at the broadcasted coordinates of the Orion capsule, delivering it and its crew to San Diego, California. The brave astronauts would have completed their service with the Artemis Program now, but NASAs job is far from finished. There will be more missions in the upcoming years to the surface of the Moon and beyond, expanding the limits of human space flight further than ever before. |

NUCLEAR OR RENEWABLE: INDONESIA'S ENERGY FUTURE CRISIS, PART 1 [/list]
[sub]Following the Indonesian government's statement announcing nuclear power is 'not far out, and can be done', clean energy groups, and particularly the National Climate Commission (NCC) headed by Rose Alatas and Christina Cross-Komarudin, have protested the move. Numerous celebrities have spoken out against nuclear energy, while economists, Energy ministry officials and Progress Party members of parliament speak in support of nuclear power. The Jokowi administration unveiled plans to construct four nuclear reactor research facilities on the island of Java, with plans for a 30 megawatt research facility at Serpong announced. The project was never started nor finished, after a new 2017 energy plan pushed oil, natural gas, and renewables as energy sources. Reports of the Energy Ministry reopening the case into the Serpong facility has caused outrage among clean energy advocates, as well as scientists who believe a new design is required. The situation began escalating until the Peacekeeper Corps was deployed to the Ministry of Energy headquarters after protests there turned into a small riot. Peaceful demonstrations against the use of nuclear and non-renewable energy continued in Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya and Denpasar. The Chancellery called for a peaceful resolution to the now named 'Energy Crisis', calling for emergency sessions of the National Parliament. Over the next four days, Parliament met, disassembled, argued, fought, shouted, and nearly fell apart. The situation intensified when the Vice Chancellor spoke in favor of nuclear energy, claiming 'the needs of the people overshadow the long term needs of the planet', sparking outrage. The Chancellery maintained silence, and even now Parliament deliberates. The Ministry of Energy presented to the National Parliament plans to construct a research facility at Serpong, and a 2.6 gigawatt nuclear power plant, utilizing VVER-TOI reactors, two of them at 1,300 megawatts each. The VVER-TOI based power plant will be held off until a research facility at Serpong is completed and tested. Parliament deliberated for two days, and on March 27 released their final decision. 'It is in Indonesia and her people's best interests that the electricity requirements of the nation be put ahead of the long term needs of the planet. That is why, today, the National Parliament of Indonesia hereby announces the development of a 30 megawatt nuclear research facility at Serpong, Java, to be completed late 2025, as well as a 2.6 gigawatt nuclear power plant, based on VVER-TOI reactors, to be built starting 2026, completion 2027". The announcement was received by large-scale protests in Jakarta, and other major cities. Protests died down on the 29th when Christina Cross-Komarudin, Deputy Chairwoman of the NCC and strong climate advocate, stated a united, and peaceful effort is required to push renewable energy. She did not condemn nor commend nuclear energy, but she did hint that she was willing to accept nuclear and natural gas energy while renewable sources develop and grow cheaper. [/sub]

| A LASTING PEACE IN THE EAST? |
[list]March, 2024[/list]
Middle Eastern Strategic Alliance Signed
___________
BAGHDAD - The departure of Iran from the Middle East Cooperation Organization has caused a significant realignment for Middle Eastern politics. With its economic and diplomatic anchor state gone, MECO is effectively adrift. Directly following Iran, Central Asia departed as well. This meant that MECO and the Arab League were composed entirely of the same members. The semi-redundancy of MECO created a new opportunity, however, for a more unified and equal diplomatic and security apparatus. Recognizing this, Arab League Chairman Mohamed Ali Alhakim proposed a new meeting in Baghdad regarding the status of both organizations.
At the meeting, Alhakim commended the function of MECO- that economic ties and financial interdependence incentivized peace as was well on the way to stabilizing the region. The generous funding apparatus created by Iran created meaningful personal loyalty to Tehran and created unprecedented economic growth in the region. But Irans diplomatic priorities also excluded Egypt and had an aloof relationship with the Arab League which divided loyalties. It was a stable but tentative framework. To fill the new vacuum created, and simply Middle Eastern relations, Alhakim proposed merging the Arab League and MECO into a new body. After much negotiation, the Middle Eastern Strategic Alliance was signed. MESA is intended to be the new basis of multilateral relations and cooperation in the Middle East both for members and nonmembers. The Alliance creates a new framework for diplomatic, economic, and military cooperation that will usher in ever-increasing peace and stability for a troubled region of the world.
MESA will be divided into three primary bodies, foremost of which will be the Middle Eastern Council. The Council will be composed of a delegate from each member state, as well as a Secretary-General appointed from within the council who will act as MESAs spokesperson and international representative. The Council will consider and vote on joint resolutions that represent the collective will of the MESA. Such binding decisions will require unanimous votes. Each delegate will represent the will of their home country. The Council will be able to act on diplomatic, military, and economic matters and anything else that is necessitated. The Council will also serve as a diplomatic forum for both MESA members and other Middle Eastern nations or nations with stakes in the region. It is hoped MESA can build mutual dialogue and conflict resolution to keep the peace in the region.
Secondly, the Military Commission will help coordinate and cooperate with the military forces of its constituent countries. This will likely include the continuation of the military exercises begun under the Arab League. No joint command will be present, but one can be appointed with permission of the Council. This can be in times of war or for foreign deployments either as combat troops or as peacekeepers. The Commission will also oversee humanitarian missions and as such the existing Arab Peace Legion will be renamed to the Middle Eastern Peace Legion and placed under the command of the Military Commission.
Finally, there is the Economic Commission. The economic commission will be composed of economic experts, advisors, business persons, and officials from each country. Its mission will be to promote economic cooperation between the member states. It can coordinate operations for companies and state enterprises and financially support companies from within MESA operating within MESA. It is believed tying together the economies of MESA states will contribute to an investment in peace and cooperation as well as promote mutual economic growth. Without the disproportionate wealth of an anchor state, no such funding scheme like MECOs would be viable.
The topic of common military defense was an important one during the negotiations. Not lost was the situation of Central Asia, a country that joined MECO but opted out of its defense clauses. Seeking to accommodate such a situation should it arise within another country, a better solution has been reached. Within MESA will be the Middle East Defense Community. MEDC will be the common defense clause of the alliance, treating an attack on one member as an attack on all and obligating protection of other MEDC members. Joining the Defense Community will not be a requirement to become an otherwise full MESA member.
MECO and the Arab League were officially dissolved to be replaced by MESA which was founded on March 24, 2024. Its founding members are Egypt, Sudan, and the Arab States. The Arab Federal States and Sudan have chosen to participate in the MEDC, while Egypt has not. Mohamed Ali Alhakim was elected as the first Secretary-General and will serve a 2-year term until 2026. The administrative capital of MESA will shift every 4 years, starting with Baghdad. The next will be Khartoum in 2028 and then Memphis in 2032. Prime Minister Salva Kiir, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and President Zahir Khalil all met in Baghdad for the signing of the constitution.
Giving its inaugural address, Secretary-General Alhakim characterized the MESA by saying this:
[list]Today we as nations come together for the purpose of creating a better Middle East. We create an alliance that will be robust and enduring. One based not on diplomatic force or pressure, but on good faith and the common interest of all Middle Eastern nations. We will work together to foster cooperation on issues confronting the Middle East including climate change, poverty, corruption, terrorism, sectarianism, factionalism, and regional distrust. It is my sincerest hope that MESA will serve as an effective framework for regional stability and as a forum for problem-solving and negotiation in the region.[/list]

CFC Hardliners Point to MESA as Covert Attempt to Promote Pan-Arabism to Undermine Iranian Legitimacy
The announcement of MESA brought much speculation to Tehran, especially through the hardliner channels of activity and communication as the conspiracy of MESA being Pan-Arabism in disguise flooded Iranian media coverage. Not holding back or waiting any longer, the CFC labeled the MESA as "the new attempt to construct a Neo-UAR as a means to contain and undermine Iran and the rebirth of the Iranian spirit and identity."
Although Prime Minister al-Khalifa has remained silent on the endeavor, there is speculation that the Prime Minister too has become skeptical because he was surely left out of the negotiations of said organization formation. When the Prime Ministerial Office was reached out for by the Iranian media, no comment was given; however, members of Parliament has demonstrated their skepticism and has sought to determine whether this should be something Iran should be concerned about. With the recent new agreements with Turkey and the establishment of the EESO to ensure Iranian partnerships across Eurasia, the big question being asked across the Empire is what do the Arabs have in store for/against Iran.
The CFC has prompted new rallies to begin highlighting that it is the mission of the Arabs to remove Iran from all matters pertaining to the Middle East in an effort to reverse the positioning of Iran; hoping to crumble Tehran in the process. According to some new opinion polls gathered, there is a growing sentiment toward these messages as an uptick of 4.5% has occurred in shifting public opinion to this right wing position.

Federated Arab Emirates Admitted To MESA
__________
Immediately after its formation, formal requests from Libya were received regarding admission to the Middle Eastern Strategic Alliance. The Middle Eastern Council voted unanimously to admit Libya. Libyan admission represents a positive first step for MESA. Libya has chosen to join Sudan and the Arab States as a part of the Middle East Defense Community. A Libyan representative will now join the Middle East Council.

| THE IRANIAN WAR FOR POWER |
[sub]March, 2024[/sub]
| On 14th of March, in the early morning hours, the country was waking up as so were the new political elites of the country. Going through the halls of the Golestan Palace, with her heels clicking amidst the dawn was the ex-SAVAK Director, Irene Hassani. Demoted from her position when Shah Reza came to power and his new regime, Hassani still had major contacts within the SAVAK and it seemed that the old regime was not going to give up without a fight so quickly. With SAVAK officers by her side, Hassani made her way to the Shah's chamber. Both of the guards were shot in front of the chamber, and Hassani entered. The 68-year old lady in dark blue skirt, dark blue blazer and white makeup looked directly at the startled Shah. With no much words needed, the Shah Reza was arrested as in the meantime SAVAK, loyal to Hassani who has led it since 1978, would commit mass arrest of the members of the Four Corners Movement with their headquarters catching fire. The temporary Prime Minister, Nasser Bin Hamad Al-Khalif was also arrested by SAVAK alongside prominent Generals of the Iranian Military that supported the growing regime change.
By midday, SAVAK had managed to arrest all prominent anti-regime figures that took part in becoming the new elites. In a major swift that lasted no longer than a few hours, SAVAK managed to remove all major figures of the new regime from power. Soon afterwards, it was announced publicly that SAVAK has seized control of the country under Irene Hassani. On 15th of March, with SAVAK and the Military keeping stability and peace within the country as people came out onto the streets in mass protests against the Monarchy and the establishment after the loss of the Persian Gulf States and the fall Nouri. In the meantime, Hassani and former Empress, Soraya Diba met in private for talks. On 16th of March, a ground breaking and historic decision was made.
On 16th of March, the Empress of Iran made a tragic speech.
[list][ Empress of Iran, Soraya Diba ]: "It is with great honour and sadness that I must announce that the Royal Family of Iran, the Diba Dynasty, that has led the country throughout it's toughest times and it's best times...will officially step down from it's role of Iran's Monarchy. I declare that Iran will no longer be the state of a monarchy. It was an honour, a privilege and a duty like none other for me and my family to lead and guide Iran throughout time and history. But new history must be made, history that we cannot stop, history which we must let take it's course. I am saddened that I am the last Empress of Iran. I...I have nothing else to say...may God be with us all."[/list]
The Last Empress of Iran, Soraya Diba, left the balcony with tears in her eyes as she stepped away. The cameras catching a glimpse of the shadow lady, Irene Hassani behind her inside the room until the doors of the balcony closed. On 18th of March, as the country remained in shock of the turn of events, it was announced that the intellectuals, ex-politicians and elites of the country were now forming up the new constitution on which basis Iran would become a Presidential Republic. On 20th of March, the first drafts of the constitution were established and on 26st of March, with much of it being taken from the 1967 Constitution of Iran with major changes to the executive power. The constitution would establish the position of a President that would be elected every five years, the creation of the Presidential Council composed of Ministers and the establishment of the Parliament as the sole legislative source of power in the country.
On 28th of March, the date for Presidential elections in Iran were established for 19th of July, 2024 and the Parliament elections for December of 2024. In the meantime, the arrested Shah Reza Pahlavi alongside other prominent members of the new-ex regime, were faced with charges of corruption and betrayal. Ex-Prime Minister Nouri was charged with betrayal of national interests and the members of the Four Corners Movement were charged with instigating for anti-State behaviour. On 30th of March, Iran was officially established as the United Commonwealth Republic of Iran. Irene Hassani would remain as the leader of Iran until the new President is elected.
However, the situation had rapidly evolved as on 29th of March, prominent members of the Diba Dynasty and their supporters hit out back. Under the leadership of Grand Princess Esfir, the daughter of Prince Ahmad of Iran, the Diba Dynasty took over the city of Shiraz with the support of the Secular Brigades. The situation quickly evolved, when the Military Commanders, Ahran Bazvik and General Homeini backed the situation, creating a rift in the Iranian military and supporting the take over of Shiraz followed by the take over of the Fars region by the end of 31st of March. That same day, Hassani struck back as all borders were shut and Empress Soraya was arrested creating major tensions. The Diba Dynasty struck in Golestan and Gilan, taking the cities of Rasht and Gorgan with Secular Brigades and support of some of the military that were taken by surprise. The Dynasty was not going to give without a fight, and it seemed they had quite the support of the people. Hassani was also not going to stop until she gained what she wanted.
The Iranian War for Power had officially began. |

President Sisi lands in Riyadh, Alzarikstan
Sisi would come to Riyadh to discuss bilateral nations between the two Arab giants, and to improve cooperation.
(skip to meeting??)
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"President al-Sisi, to much I owe the pleasure to have you come to Riyadh to speak with me? I hope all is well in Memphis."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "All is well in Memphis so far, your majesty. How are things going here in the kingdom?"[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"So far it is a blessing. The recent unification with UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar has swelled our position and has supplanted the Kingdom as the world's premier energy producing country as well as the true heart of the Muslim World. We are thankful here. Now, you have sought negotiations with me. I am listening."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "As two Arab giants, it is in our best interest to cooperate, and eclipse the Middle East. But also I would like to discuss smaller things, like a bridge between us over the Red Sea.[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"As in like...a physical actual bridge? Would that not get in the way of maritime logistics having to make sure said bridge is able to be high enough for large cargo ships to continue on course and long enough to go from Egypt to Saudi? Sounds very very costly and a lot of risks."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "I would say the benefits outweigh the harms, so that Saudi Arabian oil can get to Europe earlier, and Egyptian products can get to Arabian peninsula faster. There are already plans proposed to accomplish this, its just a matter of will."[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"Hmmmm. And how much do you think this would cost?"[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "Our experts are saying that it would cost about 3-4 billion US dollars."[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"hmmm that is not a bad price at all. And this bridge would just be for energy transportation or just overall trading transportation?"[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "I would say overall transportation as it would also open up a new Hajj route."[/sub]
Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"This is satisfactory to me if it allows new routes to commit the Hajj, increase trade, and interconnection between the Muslim North Africa and the Peninsula. Yes this works for me."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "Uh is there any proposals or plans you may have?"[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"Well for one, it is my priority and goal to ensure that Saudi Arabia remains and is recognized as the center of the Muslim World. Arabia has been largely quiet over the past two years and now that I am back as King, I feel that it is my responsibility as not just the possessors of Islam's most holiest of cities but also as the richest Arab country in the region and world, to demonstrate Riyadh as a true leader of the Arab World."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "Well I have come here to make sure that our interests do not collide. Egypt also sees itself as the leader of the Arab World, organizing the Arab League, spearheading interventions, and etc. "[/sub]
Post self-deleted by Lemlar.
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"And I thank you for being the placeholder but in all true seriousness, I firmly believe that it is the role of Saudi Arabia to be the true, actual leader of the Arab World. Spearheading interventions, organizing the Arab League, participating in MESA are true accomplishments indeed but here is the problem: the interventions turned into failures, the Arab League has been silent and quiet, and MESA just now started but does not incorporate the actual epicenter of the Islamic identity: Saudi Arabia. President Sisi, it is every intention of mine to make sure that Saudi Arabia is the one that leads the Arab World as it ought to and be recognized for its leadership position."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "In all seriousness your majesty, the Islamic identity is not the Arab identity. Saudi Arabia is the epicenter of Islam, I agree. But I intend to keep Egypt as the center of the Arab World."[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"Indeed the Islamic identity is not the Arab identity; however, they both bleed from the same vein. One cannot be understood without the other and that is intrinsically designed by the will of Allah. I see your intention and will raise that bet to the best of my ability to demonstrate why Riyadh is the center of both the Arab and Muslim Worlds."[/sub][/list]
It's more than 2500 years now
[sub]| President Sisi | "I disagree. However, I did not come to Riyadh to argue about who the leader of the Arab World is. I still think that we can compromise on this issue, and go on to lead the Middle East as brothers, starting with defining our foreign policy."[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"I am listening."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "I think we can agree that for now, Iran does have a large grip on the Middle East. Another issue is the Turks up north, who no doubt are looking to expand southwards."[/sub]
Abessinienreich
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:
[list][sub]"I suppose I can see your viewpoints of Iran in the region and their economic grip. That is undeniable that with a GDP of $4 trillion, Iran is surely an economic powerhouse while Saudi Arabia with a GDP of $1.428 trillion is the 2nd economic powerhouse of the region. Iran is more of a threat to Arab countries such as Egypt, who succumb to the economic weight of Tehran. Turkey is surely a problem as I do not agree with an sort of Turkish expansion southward into the Middle East. That is something we can agree on. With the Gulf states coming to Arabia, Riyadh has repositioned itself to a much more maritime leadership role within the Arab World assisting in the protection of one of the world's most lucrative maritime trade chokepoints: the Gulf."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "Together, we control the Red Sea through my navy and the Suez, and also like you said the Gulf. Now on top of that a lot of Middle Eastern nations would succumb to the free money Iran will give out. I understand your desire to become the sole Arab power. But my brother, we cannot fight amongst ourselves in these times. "[/sub]
