PRESIDENT Joe Biden’s review will lead to a number of foreign policy changes in this region with the US seeking to try and reinstate the nuclear deal with Iran, an end to the catastrophic war in Yemen and to reconsider the timing of its troop pullout from Afghanistan.
Iran and several world powers, led by the US, signed the deal during the second tenure of president Barack Obama in 2015. The accord placed significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme. In exchange, Iran secured relaxations in the long-running, crippling sanctions against it.

Presidential reference on Senate polls is misconceived: Rabbani Dawn 24/01/2021 none@none.com (Nasir Iqbal)
ISLAMABAD: PPP Senator Raza Rabbani has taken the plea before the Supreme Court that the reference seeking the court’s opinion on open ballot for coming Senate elections is misconceived since the president was ill-advised by the executive with mala fide intent to file the reference.
The purpose behind filing of the reference is to bypass the procedure of legislation, provided in Articles 70, 72, 238 and 239 of the Constitution and the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of Parliament, framed under Article 67 of the Constitution, because the ruling party does not have a two-thirds majority in the parliament, particularly the Senate, argues Mr Rabbani in a synopsis he has filed before the Supreme Court.
