4 explosions in weapons depos in Syria in about 2 weeks. Syrians are increasingly becoming convinced this is Israeli action. Israeli military analysts, mouthpieces of the security establishment, produced multiple articles in recent months about the growing threat from the Syrian Army (which is in reality incredibly weak & neglected by Damascus, which is prioritizing building up the Internal Security force under the Ministry of Interior). At the same time, a US veto prevents acknowledged Israeli strikes.
Multiple such mysterious explosions took place in Iran over the years, and particularly between the 1st & 2nd Iran wars.

This level of uncertainty is really difficult for businesses trying to engage in short- or long-term planning
Probably the most honest note anyone has issued yet: JPMorgan throws up hands, says it has no clue what happens next.

A lot is going wrong in the Middle East but new Syria, despite many odds, has been offering some hope. Assala's return is more than freedom to sing, a symbolic homecoming for an artist exiled for opposing Assad, and a test of whether new era can make room for culture and dissent
