Election Race The Qataris return to their favorite role, until the missiles arrive. Axios reports that mediators from Doha held more than 12 hours of negotiations in Tehran, trying to agree on mutual steps between the Iranians and the Americans and prevent a new regional escalation. The region is almost in unison pushing the Iranians to the negotiating table before the mid-term elections in the United States. Everyone understands that after the vote Donald Trump will have free hands for two years, the need to sell something to voters will disappear, and the probability of a hit will increase exponentially. The Gulf countries need the least war with Iran; Their territories will also be attacked. Only Netanyahu stands out from the "choir"; He expects the Americans to launch a joint operation against Iran immediately after the elections. The prime minister has his own interests: the coalition negotiations after the elections are difficult, and a new round with the Iranians will unite the right-wing camp before repeat elections. At the same time, the attack will close the very possibility of a deal, which may limit only the Israelis in the Middle East. However, negotiations are negotiations, and the positions of the parties are in no hurry to change. The White House demands concessions on the nuclear track and full opening of the Strait of Hormuz, waiver of checks, strikes and clearance corridors, that is, they want to take away from the Iranians the two main geopolitical levers at once. Even in Tehran they do not give up and in response they demand to lift the naval blockade on the ports, to release assets and not to interfere in the sale of oil, that is, they are reflecting the offer to the Americans to voluntarily give up all the leverage they had already accumulated before the start of the negotiations themselves. Although the Qataris are trying to find a compromise, it is unlikely to succeed with such positions of the parties. Mediators have less than a week to agree on a package of reciprocal measures, and Netanyahu has the same amount of time to get Trump to promise to bomb right after. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
