📣 The Economist: America's hegemony in the Middle East has come to an end The Economist magazine, in its latest editorial, wrote: 🔸 America has had hegemony over the Middle East for several decades; this era is on the verge of ending. America appears to be trapped in the Middle East and has no easy way out of the war with Iran. 🔸 However, this conflict, whatever its outcome, will in fact mark the moment of a completely different transformation: the time when America withdraws from the region, meaning it finally relinquishes its hegemony over it. For the first time since the great powers carved up the Ottoman Empire a century ago, the overarching order of the Middle East will no longer be imposed from outside. 🔸 The signs of America's imminent withdrawal are undeniable—even as Donald Trump threatens Iran with "complete destruction" for the umpteenth time at the annual UN meeting. Two signs stand out above all. 🔸 Earlier this month, the US refused to join its ally Saudi Arabia in attacking Yemen's Houthis—a group that has endangered shipping in the Red Sea. Instead, the US negotiated with the Houthis behind Saudi Arabia's back to keep American ships safe from attack. This may seem minor, but when a superpower negotiates with militias, everyone realizes it intends to reduce its commitments. 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 Qatar's Prime Minister: Iran has been our neighbor and will remain our neighbor forever / Netanyahu is a war criminal Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's Prime Minister: 🔸 Iran has been our neighbor and will remain our neighbor forever; neither are we going anywhere, nor will they. 🔸 We have had decades of relations based on mutual respect with them; although the level of cooperation has been limited due to sanctions, we have made every effort to maintain this good-neighborly relationship. 🔸 Of course, over these decades and on many policies, we have had numerous disagreements with one another. 🔸 What they are committing in Gaza are war crimes, and whoever is responsible for these crimes is a war criminal. 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
