Why Biden May Not Be Friends For Turkey and Iran anymore

-

The Abu Dhabi Strategic debate has nailed it completely- Biden’s coming might change the dynamics for the Middle Eastern nations’ relations with the West. It is not going to be a completely hot-cold relationship with the United States after all.

 

Biden is going to try to iron out the creases. The other important discussion centered on the Abraham Accord and the proper implementation of the same. There was definite consensus on dialogue between the signatories and other Middle East countries with a view to begin de-escalation of regional tensions.

 

However, the general thought is that both Israel and Iran will not gain too much out of this changed situation. The Biden presidency might not acknowledge the skewed peace treaty signed on the behest of Trump to favour Israel. There is reason therefore for Iran to fear about its geopolitical security, as Israel’s position now looks jittery.

 

Iran should have kept its line of communication clear with the Middle East, instead of routing it through Washington. Over four decades, it has repeated its mistake. Turkey also seems to being see its power dwindling in the light of the new peace treaty. It is now moving towards showing itself as the new Muslim messiah and one with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is something the European nations are keeping a close eye on.

 

Turkey will also not get the favour of the US government anymore. In the Biden administration, there is going to be no interest in a reset without Turkey abiding by certain norms, including becoming a loyal NATO ally and figuring out a new path for relations in Syria.

 

It is now all out in the open and everyone who is not serious about its democracy is going to have to prove its legitimacy.

Callousness of authorities have been blamed by residents whose family members have gone missing while transiting illegally through Tunisia  Residents of Zarzis in southern Tunisia has extremely angry. They are blaming authorities for having buried drowned migrants from the coastal city without the informing families or finding out their whereabouts.
