The fruit of the diplomacy

One thing has disappeared from the discussion of the Suleimani liquidation: the historical context. The crisis has not been born in recent weeks, and the Iranian attacks on Saudi oil reservoirs or the toppling of the US drone are not the starting point.

Focusing on Trump's point-of-action adopts the Iranian narrative of "reaction" following "attack," and switches between the Obama-fed gunman and the numbness of Trump's boys' teeth. The current tension does not "suddenly deteriorate" into war winds because of a single US decision. On the contrary, it is the product of the Obama administration's many-year diplomatic policy.

Going back to the end of 2008. Upon his inauguration, President Obama promised to work to improve relations with the Muslim world. He invited Iran to the discussion table with a message of restraint and diplomacy instead of military force. At the same time, he announced the immediate withdrawal of his 150,000 Iraqi soldiers. Realizing that it was appropriate to leave a small force in the region, the Iraqis refused to grant him diplomatic status, not because of the fear of American imperialism, but because the vacuum of American abandonment had entered Iran. Continuing his efforts to design a new Middle East, Obama explained that there should be a balance between Sunnis and Shiites. And how do we balance between a group that is 90 percent versus a group of 10 percent? Significantly strengthen Shiite Iran, at the same time imploring the Saudis to learn to "share" their regional hegemony.

Under this view, the Iranian Shiite minority has spread in the region, close to the eyes of the U.S. Obama is surprising Europeans and promising Iranians, secretly, to negotiate even as they continue to enrich uranium. At the same time, the Alliance is strengthening in the face of joint fighting in ISIS, and the US approves Iran In it, more military forces are deployed to Iraq. And ironically, in 2014, Iran begins to launch its Shiite militias in Iraq under the command of al-Quds Force commander Suleimani.

The latest news confirms the nuclear agreement and announces the final surrender of diplomacy to Iran's aggressive aspirations. Recognition of it as a nuclear state, with certain restrictions for ten years, after which it will be like a bombshell. And the "agreement"? It is a decision by the UN Security Council, so that its complete abolition is almost impossible. And on top of all that, Iran is receiving huge sums to allow it to continue producing its imperialist territorial continuum from Iran to Lebanon.

The danger of the war looming over the region was not born with the Trump administration, nor was it the result of Suleimani's assassination. An empire does not build on a day, and the Iranian empire has for years built on the back of Obama's mistaken diplomacy. The last sights are the fruits of her despair.
