Ablepharus is a genus of skinks that contains the common snake-eyed skinks. Both their scientific and common names refer to the fact that their eyelids have fused to a translucent capsule; as in snakes, they thus are physically incapable of blinking. They are small lizards and prefer to live in the leaf litter of dry fields and hills. Their scales give them a very shiny, bronze appearance with a characteristically dark stripe down the sides of their bodies. They prey on small insects and other small mollusks.

The Greater Middle East, also known as MENA or MENAP, is a political term, introduced in the early 2000s, denoting a set of contiguously connected countries stretching from the Maghreb region in the west all the way to Afghanistan in Central Asia, Greece in Southern Europe and Pakistan in South Asia. Various countries of Central Asia and Transcaucasia are sometimes also grouped together with countries from West Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. According to Andrew Bacevich in his book America's War for the Greater Middle East (2016), the career soldier and Professor Emeritus at Boston University states that this region is the theater for a series of conflicts dating back to 1980, which heralded the start of the Iran–Iraq War. Since then, the U.S. has been involved in balancing conflicts amongst these culturally interconnected nations in order to further its interests in the region. The Greater Middle East is sometimes referred to as the "New Middle East" or "The Great Middle East Project".
