US-Backed “Mecca Agreement” is Nonsense

I will go out on a limb declaring that the "Mecca agreement" https://carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/diwan/2026/08/the-mecca-agreement-unpacked is nonsense -- no matter how the agreement is alleged to evolve. The entire scenario has the stench of US/Israeli influence behind it, because that's the way the former United States rolls, attempting to unwind the conflict with typical duplicitous "guarantees" to the Gulf Fiefdoms. For that, look no further than the MbS/MbZ billions delivered to Kushner https://www.rawstory.com/jared-kushner-2678128976/ to arrange just such an outcome, in aid of the Kushner Accords.

This Mecca nonsense is roughly analogous to "Vietnamization" https://millercenter.org/the-presidency/educational-resources/vietnamization attempted during the US tragedy in Vietnam. That's where the former United States supposedly handed the conflict back to the people of the region, most impacted by the disaster that the US created.

Recall too that (aka) Turkiye and Pakistan are double-dealers beholden to the west for political and economic reasons, https://www.agbi.com/aviation/2025/11/turkish-airlines-signs-engine-deal-with-ge-aerospace/ where Pakistan has jailed its own democratically elected leader Imran Khan, and is run by a US-approved military junta. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asim_Munir And of course the Gulf Fiefdoms are concerned about their survival, with USd $$ aplenty to grease subversive palms being no object.

However, there is one major issue: Iran has the upper hand in this conflict. Iran will be seriously remiss by giving that advantage away. Based on history, Iran's leadership must be aware of that, and that making a deal with the devil always results in disaster - specifically for Iran and its people.

From what I gather, there is an equation to take the al Saud Mafia family out of the game. To do so will take out more than just a cog in the US/Israel financial usury and corruption game. Removing the namesake al Saud family from "Saudi Arabia" and thus from the western hegemonic equation, will likely remove a most important component to the western financial regime's continued operation.

Meanwhile it has yet to be seen how this US-backed "Mecca Agreement" version of Vietnamization will evolve. But with the US and Israel behind it, only disaster can follow. Obviously Iran and Ansarullah will not be duped into giving up their influence in the Persian Gulf (and elsewhere) for hollow and meaningless US / Israeli lying "guarantees" by way of the west's duplicitous and dangerous proxies: Pakistan, Turkey, UAE, al Saudi tribe, and Egypt.    

So I pray that the foregoing will be Iran's goal; just as it is that of Yemen's Ansarullah right now.  To maintain its newly acquired influence in the region, and not give it away to the lying promises of a dying Empire.
