Who Loses from The Iran Deal? The Arabs

ISRAEL:  Netanyahu must now try to mend relations with Washington and weigh the significant risks of turning his back on the West and considering possible unilateral military options. If he is smart, he wil realize that peace with Abbas is is Israel’s only hope for a future.

SAUDI ARABIA: The oil-rich kingdom has to adjust to an unfamiliar role as opponents, rather than confidants, of Washington.  Saudi Arabia now sees the Iran deal as diminishing the Gulf role in U.S. policy-shaping. It’s unlikely, though, to stop the major Saudi military purchases from American defense contractors.

TURKEY: Normalizing relations with Iran, especially of the Mullahs are serious about stopping the creation of weapons grade materials not needed for civilian proposes. could create major Muslim, ni Arab, economic power to rival NATO member Turkey.

PAKISTAN: The fragile existence of the Indian subcontinent’s Muslim state, may be come more fragile if Iran now can reach out to India in a common sphere of trade amongst no Arab Muslim states.  It is not hard to imagine to imagine that a sphere of co prosperity amongst Islamic democracies built around Iran, India, and Indonesia could challenge the eruption f Chinese imperialism and locally displace the remnants of European/American imperialism.

EGYPT:  While, the military-backed leaders of the coup have rolled back much of the Iran outreach by the Muslim Brotherhood-led government ousted in July. the possibility of expanding U.S.-Iran dialogue could cut into Egypt’s traditional standing as the guiding force in shaping Western policy in the region.

WESTERN CORPORATIONS:  Built on the crude and slippery  underpinning of Saudi Oil, an emergence of a non Arab but Muslim political and economic zone would create a vacuum.  The challenge to the existing corporate world is how to switch its capital to the new preoviders of oil .. including the US, Brazil Mexico and .. of course Iran.  This is a huge opportunity for China and Russia!
