Arabic countries and mediation between Iran and the US; Transformation in Role -Creator – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

Mehr News Agency, International Group: With the intensification of geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States, the GCC member states are trying to play a mediating role in reducing tensions by adopting a pragmatic approach.

This strategy is not only a reflection of these countries’ deep concerns about the consequences of regional instability, but also tied to their long -term economic interests, especially within the framework of development programs such as Saudi Arabia’s vision and major UAE projects. Understanding the inherent relationship between regional stability and economic security, the Gulf states seek to become important actors in the management of tensions in the region.

Key reasons for mediation; Economy, security, and avoid duplication of history

The mediation of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf in the Iran -US crisis can be analyzed in three main axes: First, the need to protect the ambitious economic projects of these countries, which endangers any exacerbation of regional tension. For example, Saudi Arabia, which defines the implementation of the landscape as the axis of its domestic and international developments, knows well that widespread war or instability can disrupt the flow of foreign investment and the development of non -oil sectors. The same logic is also found in the United Arab Emirates; Where Dubai, as the region’s commercial hub, has always benefited from economic ties with Iran.

Second, historical lessons of neglect in past negotiations; The bitter memory of being removed from the Brajam process in year 2 and the despair of the US lack of consultation in the era BidenThese countries have concluded that active presence at the negotiating table guarantees their interests.

Third, changing the paradigm in foreign policy of these countries is from the ideological approach to pragmatism; So that even Saudi Arabia, which Previous He had a confrontation with Iran, now given priority to deconstructing and becoming effective in the world equations.

Saudi Arabia; From the contrast to the targeted stress

Riyadh, who once as the leader of the front Anti -Iranian It was known in the region, now by reviving diplomatic relations with Tehran in year 6, he has shown that he has redefined his priorities. This change is not just a tactical maneuver, but also part of a larger strategy that considers economic development to be the main propulsion of foreign policy. Saudi Arabia, who has experienced talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States, is seeking a similar role in the Iranian case. However, Riyadh faces restrictions, including historical proximity to Washington, which may suspicious Tehran for its neutrality. However, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is trying to consolidate its position as a valid intermediary.

Diameter; Multifunctional Diplomacy and Investment in International Credit

Qatar, relying on the complex network of international relations and a successful experience in hosting negotiations such as Taliban-US or Hamas and Israeli talks, has identified itself as an unprecedented acting in mediation. Doha, who in the siege crisis by its neighbors to resist pressure to cut ties with Tehran, now uses the decision as political capital.

Qatar’s role in the recent agreement of Iranian and US prisoners is a prominent example of this strategy. Doha is in a unique position with the largest US military base in the region and at the same time maintaining the relative trust of Tehran.

The United Arab Emirates; Economic pragmatism and an indirect role

The UAE, especially through Dubai, has always maintained its economic relations with Iran, even at the height of political tensions. The country, which hosts tens of thousands of Iranian citizens and vital commercial arteries, cannot pay for instability.

Delivery Donald Trump’s letter to the Iranian leader by Anwar He He showed that Abu Dhabi, despite the security co -worker with Washington, was kept to keep the communication channel open with Tehran. Understanding its inherent vulnerability to the stresses of the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE prefers to use diplomacy and non -aggravated negotiations to reduce friction.

Oman; Silent diplomacy architecture and heritage of Sultan Qaboos

But the most important and most sophisticated role is the monarchy of Oman. MuscatRelying on the diplomatic legacy of Sultan Qaboos and the unique style of conflict resolution, it is known as the most reliable intermediary between Tehran and Washington. Oman’s political geography – neighborhood with Iran on the one hand and security ties with the West on the other – has given it a good situation.

The choice of Oman as the host of the upcoming negotiations is not accidental. By creating a safe atmosphere, it enables the transfer of important and vital messages between the parties. Experience has shown that Muscat Is able to convey the warnings of each side without orientation to another; A skill that in April when coordinating the arrival of the Saudi-Member Board Sanaa It was also displayed for a conversation with Ansarullah. Oman’s monarchy has also gained advanced relations with Tehran – which has sometimes gone to security cooperation – has been able to gain Iran’s trust; This is critical for Washington as an executive guarantee of any possible agreement.

During the projected negotiations, MuscatUsing the network of relationships, it can incorporate the technical suggestions of the two sides in the form of operational plans. Oman, on the other hand, has been accepted by Tehran as a neutral actor because of the lack of participation in offensive coalition against Iran.

The end; Persian Gulf as a new field of multinational diplomacy

The Gulf’s efforts to mediate between Iran and the United States are not only a short -term maneuver, but also part of the structural change in the role of these countries in the international system. Becoming middle powers with the ability to influence global equations requires regional stability that guarantees their economic transformation projects.

In the meantime, Oman has appeared in the Middle East with a unique combination of traditional diplomacy, balanced relations and non -governmental political culture. The success or failure of these mediation will not only determine the future of Iran -US relations, but also the new geopolitical position of the Persian Gulf.
