Iran marks 1979 US Embassy takeover amid nationwide protests
Later on Friday, protests began in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province, which has seen weeks of unrest. Advocacy group HalVash claimed security forces killed at least 16 people Friday, identifying nine of them by name. On Thursday, a Shiite cleric reportedly was shot and killed in Sistan and Baluchestan, a long restive province that’s predominantly Sunni. The U.S. and world powers reached a nuclear deal with Iran in 2015 that drastically curtailed its program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions. Biden had said he was willing to have the U.S. rejoin the nuclear deal, but talks have broken down.

New Italian government closes ports to NGO ships
MILAN (AP) — Italy's new far-right led government adopted a measure Friday formalizing the closure of its ports to rescue ships run by humanitarian groups as four vessels with more than 1,000 migrants continued to press for a safe port. All of the others aboard a German ship leave Italian waters and go toward Germany,'' Salvini said. At the same time, Italian authorities continue to allow the arrivals of people rescued at sea by Italian patrols, including 456 arriving in Calabria on Thursday and some 6,000 over the last week. According to the U.N. refugee agency, coastal states are obligated to accept people from rescue ships “as soon as practicable,’’ and governments should cooperate to provide a place of safety for survivors. “We have no doubt that Italy will welcome the ship ... that Italy will respect international law,” he told French news broadcaster BFM TV.

Erdogan says Libya has requested gas exploration by Turkish ships
Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said that Libya has submitted a request for natural gas exploration in its fields by Turkish ships, as part of a list of other countries. Erdogan said in an interview with the Turkish channel Habar Turk, on Wednesday evening, that Ankara is receiving proposals regarding energy projects and gas exploration from different countries, especially Libya. Erdogan added that Turkish exploration ships may help explore other countries' gas fields if necessary, saying that Ankara has an opportunity to sell the gas extracted in those countries. Tensions have escalated among Turkey, Egypt, Greece, France and the European Union since the beginning of October after the Government of National Unity signed several agreements with Turkey, including those related to exploration in potentially gas-rich zones in the Mediterranean. The move caused Egypt to freeze normalization talks with Turkey, according to the Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, while Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the normalization process with Egypt "is progressing slowly compared to other countries", adding in a speech on Wednesday at a seminar entitled "Turkish Foreign Policy in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean" that the deal with Libya isn't against Egypt's interests.

Dr.. Jibril Al-Obaidi – Libya, Lebanon and the two stalled parliaments
Libya as well as Lebanon are shared by parties that are ripping apart the state’s entity in them for their own interest, violating the interests of Libya and Lebanon as well as the wall. In Lebanon, “Hezbollah” sees in its entity an authority above the authority of the state. There are parties that have an interest in dismantling Lebanon and its people’s connection to their Arab roots, especially in light of Hezbollah’s openness to the Arabs. Libya and Lebanon are united by suffering, the high cost of living, and failed political elites who are not interested in the country as much as collecting money and gains, even if it is by destroying the country and disrupting political life. From the authority through the election, even by the white paper, they found themselves a victim.

By MATTHEW LEETop diplomats from the world's major industrialized democracies sought Thursday to expand unified positions on Russia's war in Ukraine, China's growing global economic clout and Iran's crackdown on anti-government protestors. The U.N. nuclear watchdog reported Thursday that inspections of sites in Ukraine had found no evidence to support Russia's claim that Ukraine planned to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb." German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is visiting Beijing this week, becoming the first European leader to make the trip since the war in Ukraine began. The G-7 has weathered major changes since the foreign ministers issued their stark pre-war ultimatum to the Kremlin last December.

Libya differences stall Turkey-Egypt fence-mending
In Libya, many Brotherhood leaders stand by Bashagha against Dbeibah. The UAE did finance Hifter but has stayed away from the forefront in Libya since Turkey helped Tripoli to break Hifter’s siege in 2019. Turkey has since normalized ties with the UAE, with Libya ceasing to be an issue of tension between the two countries. As Turkey seeks to expand its influence across North Africa, Cairo continues to see the Turkish military presence in Libya as a serious threat. According to Arab media, Sisi pressed hard for a condemnation of Turkey at the Nov. 1-2 Arab League summit in Algeria.

An ancient treasure trove: Looking back at the King Tut tomb discovery 100 years later
In perhaps the most famous and enduring archaeological discovery in modern times, the unearthing of the tomb of King Tutankhamun, an otherwise obscure Egyptian pharaoh, in November 1922 captured the world's imagination through widespread press accounts. Surviving for more than 3,200 years with little disturbance made the tomb a time capsule for Egyptologists to study. Tutankhamun – popularly known as "King Tut" in modern times – was an Egyptian king at the end of the 18th Dynasty, ruling from about 1332 B.C. Tutankhamun's tomb, KV62, runs through bedrock directly beneath the corridor of KV9, tomb of pharaohs Rameses V and Rameses VI. By the standards of other royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamun's tomb is small.
