If the Islamists win the presidency in Egypt, they'll be in a position to back Iran. There's an old saying in the Middle East: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni. It has nothing in common with Shi'ite Iran. However, if the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran joined forces, they could attack Israel.

Afghanistan: On 3 May, the UN declared Kabul a "White City" Highest Security Status effective immediately. This means all movements by UN staff have been suspended within Kabul and the surrounding region.

The UN claims that there also has been an increase in security threats specifically along the Jalalabad Road corridor. The warning indicated the most likely targets will be the installations of the international military, Afghan military and Police; government buildings; the UN complex and the residential areas for foreigners.
