Collision Memo!

Dr. Ibrahim Melhem

Editor-in-Chief

The world did not need to wait until the end of sixty days to realize that the "Memorandum of Understanding" was nothing more than a "truce on smoke" signed between the two adversaries with the intention of breaking it when the time was right; after each had achieved their desires and fulfilled their aims, only to return to confrontation again, as long as its embers still glowed beneath its ashes.All that is happening between the two adversaries is still on the surface, and has not touched the depth of the crisis and its roots that extend for decades, and its origin, its فصل, and its most important goal, the nuclear file, which the "carpet weaver" is trying to distract from; by occupying the adversary with continuing to tread water in the strait that Tehran successfully cornered everyone into, for the memorandum was not about establishing peace as much as it was a prescription to control the upcoming explosion in warm waters, and across the vast Persian land.It is not unlikely that Netanyahu will export his crisis by fabricating a confrontation that would constitute a lifeline for him, after he choked on opinion poll numbers, which predicted a drop in his popularity and an increase in his opponents' chances of overthrowing him.The atmosphere has become conducive to such a possibility, increasing the chances of it happening are attempts to incite Trump by employing a narrative of assassination plots, fueled yesterday by the statements of the returning leader after a long absence of revenge against his father's killers, which would justify Trump going to the option of war without obtaining the permission of legislators.
