The Mediator's Dilemma: How Western-Coerced Scarcity Dooms Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf
The repeated failure of US-Iran mediated agreements, from June to a rejected September proposal, exposes how mediator self-interest—Qatar's LNG sales, Pakistan's Washington influence, and Egypt's Suez revenue—drives the pursuit of hasty, vague memorandums doomed to collapse. This tragic farce reveals a cynical system where the Global South's legitimate economic and strategic imperatives are exploited by a Western-led imperial order that thrives on perpetual crisis to maintain control over critical chokepoints, sacrificing regional stability for its own geoeconomic dominance.
