The failure of megaphone diplomacy
Dr Liaqat Ali
The current war theatre in middle east and its aftershocks remind me a Latin proverb “Si fecisti, nega” that means “If you have done it, deny it.” The noise of running commentary on megaphone can only be effective in WWE or UFC. This proverb “Si fecisti, nega” collectively reflects the failure of megaphone diplomacy. Diplomacy is always a delicate process of diplomatic intelligentsia behind the closed doors keeping the red lines of strategic interest of countries intact and negotiable. This whole war theatre is the result of failure of loud diplomacy.
The solo super power was cleverly pitched in war with Iran that was not reflecting the notion of America First. The US and IDF have achieved the assassination of 86-year-old peace loving grand Ayatollah just to replace with 55-year-old hard line supreme leader. The IRGC was functionally under the command and answerable to 86-year-old Syed Ali Khamenei to be replaced by IRGC as sole power of Iran. Being the signatories of NPT, the nukes have never been desired for theologically bounded Iran.
The concept that the triumph of victory depends on an opponent’s acceptance of defeat or the surrender of their resistance – is a recurring theme in strategy, philosophy, and bitter reality.
The mosaic doctrine of Iranian strategy of war will be taught in war games in coming few decades that how a smaller force fought against two mighty militaries of the US and Israel. The overwhelming airpower of the two supremos have failed to achieve the core objectives of crumbling the Ballistic missile technology and the extended arm of Al-Quds and revolutionary guards. The mass killing of 160 school children in Minab has united the Iranian nation against the commonly perceived enemy.
The current assassination attempt on President Trump has exposed the fault lines of the conscious of American public regarding alleged involvement of the elite class of America. The presence of influential Arab businessmen in Epstein files and the asymmetric warfare of Iran have dented the tourist economy symbolism of Arab states as well as made the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Mandeb a contested maritime passage.
The coercive public communication on social media have been doomed by more articulate and mature diplomatic icons like Abbas Araghchi, Bagher Ghalibaf, Ali Larijani and Ali Akbar Wilaytee. The media-driven diplomatic policy may be considered successful in financial, commercial, and sports industry as elevator pitches but never in serious diplomatic dialogue. The ever-changing rhetoric and shifting of policy expressed on social media platforms undermined the peace efforts initiated by Pakistan through its Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
Actually, the mega phones on social media have become the brokers in stalks of abhorrent polymarket that’s why there is great need for steps based on ground reality to safeguard the future of the whole world.
Well, the selected olive branch of Abrahamic accord by Benjamin Netanyahu failed to showcase in majority of Arab and non-Arab Islamic countries. The security establishment of present Israel should listen to the majority voice of Jewish Haredi that decline to have a state as being cursed by Jewish Prophets for atrocities committed by Zionist mindset. The abbreviations of M-I-G-A (Make Iran Great Again) failed to attract masses because of inbuilt diverse dimensions in understanding of this abbreviation of MIGA as (Make Israel Great Again). It seems more appealing as the ambitions of present Israel is undebated “Greater Israel” rather than Persian Empire. Regarding construction of third temple, the wise man approach and advice for both Jewish Haredi community and Zionists is to wait for the time to witness that who will carry the Ark of the Covenant also called as Aron Habrit in Hebrew.
