‘The Abraham Accords did not collapse under the war. They mutated. Economic diplomacy became security architecture. Tourism agreements became kill chains. Trade deals became data links. The peace accords became a war alliance.’
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86
The Abraham Accords were not designed for this. When Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain signed in September 2020, the agreements covered trade, tourism, technology, and diplomatic recognition. They were economic instruments dressed in the language of peace. Six years later, the same agreements form the backbone of a real-time air defence network intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles over four countries simultaneously. During the 88th wave on March 25, Israeli, Emirati, Bahraini, and American radar systems shared data through the MEAD-CDOC integrated air defence architecture hosted in Qatar. Early-warning feeds from Gulf-based sensors detected Iranian launches within seconds of ignition. Tracking data was relayed to Israeli Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow batteries before the missiles crossed Iranian airspace. The Accords that were supposed to open embassies are now closing kill chains. Nobody signed up for this version. But this version is what works. The public posture tells one story. Gulf states maintain diplomatic distance. UAE and Bahrain avoid visible military cooperation with Israel. Saudi Arabia has not formally joined. Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman remain non-signatories with cautious neutrality statements. The optics are calibrated for domestic audiences where Palestinian solidarity remains a political constraint that no ruler can publicly abandon. The covert reality tells the opposite story. Saudi Arabia shares intelligence and airspace coordination through backchannels while MBS calls Trump to “keep hitting the Iranians hard” and frames the war as a “historic opportunity to remake the region.” The UAE’s al-Dhafra base hosts American aircraft that fly missions coordinated with Israeli targeting data. Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet headquarters processes threat assessments that feed Israeli defence systems. The Accords are not a peace deal. They are a war machine running on classified data links that did not exist before 2020. Iran understands this better than anyone. The IRGC frames the Accords as a “Zionist-American conspiracy to isolate Iran and betray Palestine.” Russia calls them a “destabilising US-led bloc.” China sees them as “US containment undermining Belt and Road.” All three are correct. The Accords ARE an anti-Iran security architecture. The war proved it. Every intercepted missile validates the data-sharing that the Accords enabled. Every successful defence demonstrates that the network Iran tried to prevent is the network now defending the countries Iran is attacking. The paradox is that Iran’s 88 waves of missiles have done more to validate the Accords than six years of trade delegations and tourism agreements ever could. The economic benefits were nice. The security benefits are existential. No Gulf ruler will abandon a data link that saved their capital from a ballistic missile because their population has opinions about Palestine. The calculus shifted from “should we normalise?” to “can we survive without the network?” The answer, demonstrated 88 times, is no. MBS is extracting the price. Saudi Arabia’s terms for formal accession are now reported as a NATO Article 5-level defence pact, nuclear sovereignty including domestic enrichment, and Palestinian concessions that Israel has never offered. The war gave MBS leverage that no peacetime negotiation could provide. He watched 88 waves hit his neighbours and concluded that joining the Accords is worth more now than it was before the first missile was fired. The price rose with the threat. And the threat is not theoretical. It hit Ras Tanura on March 2. The Accords did not collapse under the war. They mutated. Economic diplomacy became security architecture. Tourism agreements became kill chains. Trade deals became data links. The peace accords became a war alliance. And the war that was supposed to destroy them proved they were the only thing standing between 88 waves and undefended cities. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Insane how it’s gone from denying to just matter-of-fact bragging that starvation is part of the Israeli way of war.

New for @WSJ: An Israeli strike on a naval outpost in the Caspian Sea targeted Russia’s support for Iran in the war, hitting a supply line that the countries have used to move ammunition, drones and other weaponry, people familiar with the matter said.

Dow Chemical just doubled their polyethylene price increase, from $0.15/lb to $0.30/lb, effective April 1st. That's roughly a 60% price hike on the most widely used plastic on Earth.
LyondellBasell has gone even further, $0.35/lb in cumulative increases through May.
Polyethylene is in your packaging, your water bottles, your grocery bags, your construction materials, your medical supplies. About 50% of global production capacity is now either offline or feedstock-constrained because of the Hormuz crisis.
This is how a war in the Middle East shows up at your grocery store. Energy costs don't stay in the energy sector. They flow through everything you buy.

Any journalist covering Israel's plans for south Lebanon, as @nytimes does here for example, as if it's entirely normal for one country to plan for and take steps toward illegally taking over the sovereign land of another is manufacturing consent for illegal annexation.

I have not forgotten, and I will never forget, what Israel did to us when it bombed civilians who went to search for food from the trucks at a time when the famine had reached its absolute peak.
This happened two years ago.

Hard to believe this is isn't parody.
Does anyone know why Iran is bombing Israel, but not London, Paris or Berlin? Is it beca use of anti-Semitism or some other possible cause?

This is what happens when an Iranian missile, with a 100 kg warhead and cluster munitions, strikes the civilian heart of Tel Aviv. Imagine the global outrage if this was London, Paris or Berlin. Yet because it’s the Jewish state, the world is SILENT!

This is so dystopian man. An entire nation under a medieval-style siege, slowly being strangled to death while the rest of the world simply turns a blind eye.

Wär ja auch blöd gewesen, wenn man den Krieg von vornherein als völkerrechtswidrig bezeichnet hätte und dann hätte Trump womöglich doch Erfolg gehabt.
