It would be reckless, very reckless... to speculate that developments in the Arab region between now and the Arab League summit scheduled for May 17 will follow a logical trajectory! Anything could happen, as there are no guardrails or constraints between us and the abyss.

Iran: Pragmatism after the ‘flood’ Short Urlhttps://arab.news/nhs9f Iranian commentators appear to be relaxed about the prospects of the ongoing negotiations with the US. Some have implied that a honeymoon period is possible with the “Great Satan” if its intentions are sincere. They speak of a mutual need.
