๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿค A Mideast realignment: US backs Israel as Gulf powers unite with Iran in Qatar
โžก๏ธ Two competing summits this week are redrawing the Middle East's strategic map. As the US Secretary of State Rubio lands in Israel, the foreign ministers of Iran, Turkey, and key Gulf states are gathering in Doha.
This simultaneous diplomacy signals a major shift:
๐ŸŒ America's choice: by visiting Israel amid crisis, the US makes its allegiance clear, snubbing Qatarโ€”a longtime ally and host to its largest regional military base.
๐ŸŒ Eroding trust: this move forces Gulf monarchies to question US reliability and the value of housing American troops on their soil.
๐ŸŒ Iran's return: the presence of Iran's top diplomat in Doha is a powerful declaration: it has weathered the storm of strikes and reasserted itself as a regional leader.
๐ŸŒ A new bloc: the Doha summit reveals a growing Islamic consensus, uniting around Qatar and Iran's anti-Israeli stance. In choosing sides, the US risks a seismic loss of influence in the region.
