I'm in Beirut for meetings and then
a conference, hosted by the Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR) at American University Beirut, "Connections and Ruptures: America and the Middle East", until Saturday afternoon. I'll be dropping in to offer Iran updates as well as the best in news and analysis elsewhere, but I may be out-of-touch at times while Mike Dunn and the EA team mind the store. Apologies also for our server issues today. I'm presuming Mike has lined up the appropriate folks for a bit of a flogging.
