Notations On Our World (Weekly Edition): On the Week that Was.....

Well, it has been quite a week!!!   Iran saw the resignation and subsequent change of heart  of the Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif.   This is as Bashar Assad was taken to Tehran to meet the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khameini for ostensibly 2 hours and thereafter rushed to see President Rouhani.   This is as we are seeing reports that Iran's only functioning Nuclear Power Plant in the South is being shut down.

As we reflected upon the week on this "unplug" weekend, we turned to Trevor Noah that pretty much captured it all for all:


It is bound to be an interesting week yet again.
