盖茨访问中东向盟友传达重要信息
盖茨说，两个美国在该地区的关键盟友不应该对美国可能跟伊朗改善关系感到担忧。“如果阿拉伯世界对伊朗在伊拉克的影响感到关切，那么就应该设法让伊拉克有更多的阿拉伯世界影响，可以派驻更多的大使，以及在阿拉伯国家地区安全问题上跟伊拉克有更多的接触等等。在这个问题上采取主动，抵消伊朗在伊拉克的影响是十分重要的。”盖茨说，埃及已经采取了他所说的“某些重大步骤”来跟伊拉克领导人保持接触。

伊拉克：不会延长美撤军期限
伊拉克政府表示，不能推迟美军6月30号撤出从伊拉克城市地区的最后期限。伊拉克政府致力于执行美伊安全协议中美军撤离的时间表。伊拉克暴力事件的上升使人们担心伊拉克军队是否已准备好接管安全防务。上个星期，美军指挥官考虑，美军是否要在6月的最后期限到期以后继续留守在北部城市摩苏尔。美伊安全协议规定，美军部队在6月底前从伊拉克城市撤出，并且在2011年底前从其余地区撤出。

塔利班活动令美担忧巴核武
美国《纽约时报》报导说，随著巴基斯坦伊斯兰激进分子活动的增多，华盛顿越来越担忧巴基斯坦核武器面临的潜在威胁。《纽约时报》援引美国高级官员的话说，美国政府担心暴乱分子可能会企图夺取一件核武器，或者向核武器实验室或者燃料生产设施安插自己的同情者。这些美国高级官员还表示，美国不清楚巴基斯坦所有核设施的位置，因此美国政府不大愿意接受巴基斯坦做出的他们的核武器都很安全的保证。《纽约时报》的报道援引美国官员的话说，尽管华盛顿向伊斯兰堡提供了大约1亿美元的资金，在其核设施周围修建更牢固的保护装置，并且帮助训练巴基斯坦的核安全人员，美国官员从未获得批准去核实巴基斯坦到底花费了多少资金。
巴在动荡区设立伊斯兰法院遭反对

尼泊尔总理宣布辞职
尼泊尔总理普拉昌达宣布辞去总理职务。在此之前，尼泊尔总统阻止了普拉昌达的毛派政府解除尼泊尔陆军参谋长职务的行动。政府官员星期天说，鲁克曼古德 卡特瓦尔将军被解职的原因是他不服从停止征兵的命令，并且恢复了被国防部解职的8个陆军将领的职务。然而总统拉姆 巴兰 亚达夫命令卡特瓦尔继续担任陆军参谋长。亚达夫表示，解除卡特瓦尔职务的行为违法宪法，因为陆军归属尼泊尔总统指挥。卡特瓦尔被解职是毛派与尼泊尔军方权力之争进一步恶化的最新一幕。毛派希望他

Israel Faces a Hard Sell in Bid to Shift Policy
The new government of Israel is seeking to reorient the country’s foreign policy, arguing that to rely purely on the formulas of trading land for peace and promising a Palestinian state fails to grasp what it views as the deeper issues: Muslim rejection of a Jewish state and the rising hegemonic appetite of Iran.
Assad: US should listen to Hamas, Hezbollah
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has urged Washington to talk to Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah as part of efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.
Speaking to France 3, Assad said that the new US administration is willing to listen to Syria's views and added that Damascus is ready to broker talks between Washington and the Islamic resistance groups.
The Syrian president noted that the US move to regard Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist movements is counterproductive if Washington wants to contribute to peace in the Middle East.
"Politics is when you deal with reality. When you deal with influential parties to influence the position in a positive or a negative way. Hamas has influence and you can not ignore them. You can't achieve peace while Hamas is outside this peace or against the peace," he said, adding that the same was true about Hezbollah.
President says all threat against Iran eliminated
“The nation’s beliefs and perseverance enabled it to overcome the enemy,” he told a gathering of people in Karaj, west of Tehran.
Ahmadinejad stated, “Those who have occupied Afghanistan and Iraq thought they had paved the way for an invasion of Iran and threatened to attack.”
“If they had detected the smallest weakness they would have attacked the entire country… but you eliminated threats against Iran for ever,” he added.
He went on to say that the enemies had thought that by resorting to sanctions and resolutions Iran would give up its nuclear rights and then the time to attack Iran would arrive soon afterwards.
“But we tell you that you were mistaken, you do not know the Iranian nation…it will not back down an inch,” he said
Afghan blasts leave dozens dead
At least 27 people, including the mayor of an Afghan city, have been killed in a spate of attacks, officials have said.
In the deadliest attack on Monday, 12 civilians - four women, two children and six men - were killed by a roadside bomb that exploded as they drove in a tractor in the Shamolzai district of southern Zabul province, Mohammad Wazir, the district chief, said.
"This was a mine newly planted by the Taliban," he told the Reuters news agency.
Taliban fighters later ambushed a convoy of a security firm in another area of Zabul, killing six Afghan security guards and two civilians nearby, Ghulam Jailani, a senior provincial police official, said.
Earlier on Monday, Mohammad Rahim, the mayor of Mehterlam, was among seven people killed by a teenage suicide bomber who blew himself up at the gate of a municipal administration building in the eastern province of Laghman, the interior ministry said.
