Just as the world powers gathered for a second round of final talks with Iran, Jordan followed Egypt’s lead in downplaying the threat of a nuclear Iran.
Jordan’s king Abdullah declared that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rather than nukes, threatens regional stability. As if our conflict has anything to do with guerrilla wars between Yemen and Sudan, Iran and Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran, Egypt and Sudan, the UAE and Oman, or scores of other conflicts.
Facing the West’s inaction against Iran, Arab countries are preparing to live with it.
Jordan is the proverbial eg of “do what I say not do what I do”
Black September ring a bell!
Sure. Black September is a summary of Middle East conflict. But you would also recall similar mini-wars between Syria and Palestinians, which would largely be absent from any summary of the Middle East conflict.
