Il Tempo: In lutto l'«editorialista unico» con il turbante in testa

Adesso proveranno a raccontarci che hanno vintogli ayatollah, e citeranno i giornali di Teheran: un po' come far fare il commento della Seconda Guerra Mondiale ai propagandisti del Fuhrer. Poi cercheranno di convincerci che tutto rimarrà come prima. Falso. Certo, Trump è un tipaccio, sa farsi detestare e, proprio come Netanyahu, ha rinunciato a rivolgersi alle menti e ai cuori delle opinioni pubbliche occidentali. E qui sbaglia, perché nel nostro tempo compiere anche un'impresa facile (figurarsi una difficilissima) contro i sentimenti delle persone significa andare contromano in autostrada.
Ciò detto, in questa partita, Trump per ora sta guidando il gioco. La catena di comando del regime iraniano è stata decimata. La nuova Guida Suprema, ammesso sia viva e cosciente, è desaparecida. Il progetto nucleare è stato stroncato. Agli ayatollah rimaneva solo la chance (disperata ma efficace) di chiudere lo Stretto di Hormuz premendo sulla «giugulare» della circolazione mondiale del petrolio. Ecco, ora il regime sarà molto probabilmente costretto a riaprire quel transito, anche se la giornata di ieri ha segnato una marcia indietro a un certo punto. Vedremo nei prossimi giorni se e a che condizioni avverrà la riapertura (e non si tratta certo di dettagli), ma quello sarà il segno finale di cedimento.
Non solo. Nel medio periodo, come vi raccontiamo da giorni, l'assetto dell'area sarà strutturalmente trasformato: sono previsti nuovi oleodotti per bypassare l'Iran, e Accordi di Abramo «extralarge» tra Israele e paesi del Golfo. Morale: se Obama aveva a suo tempo scommesso sull'Iran degli ayatollah come architrave del Medio Oriente, Trump ha correttamente compiuto la scelta opposta. E domani il nuovo Medio Oriente sarà meno (o per nulla) soggetto ai ricatti iraniani. Notizia eccellente. Quanto all'Ue, la sua prova rimane catastrofica: scavalcata dal Pakistan nei negoziati; indifesa sull'energia; e con i commissari europei che ci invitano a fare la doccia tiepida. Un manicomio. Chi resta dunque in lutto dalle nostre parti? L'«editorialista unico» in turbante. Mi chiedo: ma perché questi signori non si trasferiscono a Teheran?

In mourning, the “unique editorialist” with the turban on his head.

They’ll now try to tell us they have “vintogli ayatollah” (a sarcastic reference to having influence over them), and they’ll cite the newspapers of Tehran: a bit like making the commentary of World War II for the propagandists of the Fuhrer. Then they’ll try to convince us that everything will remain the same. False. Of course, Trump is a type, knows how to make himself hated, and, just like Netanyahu, has abandoned addressing the minds and hearts of Western public opinion. And here he’s mistaken, because in our time, even accomplishing an easy task (let alone a very difficult one) against people’s feelings means going against traffic on the highway.

That said, for now, Trump is leading the game in this match. The chain of command of the Iranian regime has been decimated. The new Supreme Leader, admitted to being both alive and conscious, has disappeared. The nuclear project has been strangled. The ayatollahs’ only chance was (desperate but effective) to close the Strait of Hormuz by pressing on the “jugular” of global oil circulation. Now, the regime will likely be forced to reopen that transit, even if yesterday’s day marked a step back at some point. We’ll see in the coming days if and under what conditions the reopening will occur (and it’s certainly not a detail), but that will be the final sign of collapse.

Not only that. In the medium term, as we’ve been telling you for days, the area’s configuration will be structurally transformed: new oil pipelines will be built to bypass Iran, and “extra-large” Abraham Accords between Israel and Gulf countries. Moral: when Obama at the time bet on the ayatollah Iran as the keystone of the Middle East, Trump correctly made the opposite choice. And tomorrow the new Middle East will be less (or not at all) subject to Iranian blackmail. Excellent news. As for the EU, its performance remains catastrophic: overtaken by Pakistan in negotiations; defenseless regarding energy; and with the European commissioners inviting us to take a lukewarm shower. A madhouse. Who mourns therefore on our part? The “unique editor” in a turban. I wonder: why don’t these gentlemen move to Tehran?

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit einen sehr interessanten Bericht über die #AbrahamAccords gesehen. In diesem tauchte die Aussage auf, dass Israel nur 2 Möglichkeiten habe: entweder der immer weiteren Aufrüstung des Irans zuzuschauen mit dem Risiko der eigenen Vernichtung, oder derselben mit einem erfolgreichen Erstschlag ein Ende zu bereiten, um der vom Iran vorgesehenen Vernichtung zu entgehen. Das ist natürlich etwas, was man aus einem bequemen europäischen Sessel heraus nur ungern hört.

Wonder what happened to the Saudi-Iran Deal secretly brokered by #China to derail the #AbrahamAccords for #Arab - #Israeli peace.

Iran has been fighting proxy wars against SaudiArabia since 1970s, and this rapprochement was supposed to bring them together at the expense of Israel.

Guess #Trump blew it up.
