    On partage la même analyse. Le GCC est devenu un bazar, on marchande, on cède sur le Yemen, on obtient des gages sur le Qatar, et surtout on évite de perdre la face.

    ...et si une participation du à l'IPO d'Aramco aidait à atténuer les tensions avec l'Arabie Saoudite.

    This was the highest-level visit by a Qatari official to the kingdom since May when Qatar's prime minister attended an Arab summit in Mecca

    "Bender went on to say that, for $5,000, the Qatari government is able to pay off journalists at the NYT and WaPo to kill critical stories" Gotta come up a better conspiracy than "buying off the entire NYT for the cost of a couple dozen subscriptions"!

    Calling Ayatollah Sistani an agent of the Iranian state is proposterous and desperate.

    How influential is in Iraq? Since 2003, the most influential person in Iraq has consistently been an Iranian man: Ayatollah Ali Sistani. When he speaks, Prime Minister resigns; Shiites flock to fight ISIS; Americans shift plans for elections. Etc... …

    The Aramco IPO should have been celebrated for the steps taken towards privatization of a state-owned energy giant, but is instead being talked about as a relative failure because the Saudi government chased foreign investors and a blockbuster valuation.

    Absolutely not. The EU has nothing to offer and is incapable of protecting its major (only?) diplomatic success. The announcement plays the role of the carrot while Le Drian is the stick. And once again Iranians will say: Forget about carrots and sticks, we are not donkeys

    Without the US returning to compliance with the Iran nuclear agreement, can the EU's efforts make a difference? The EU has proven incapable of breaking the US embargo or helping the Iranian people who are crushed by inflation and want.
