For nearly two weeks, the waters of the Arabian Peninsula have held the world's attention as the United States and Iran trade military blows while diplomats quietly search for an exit. A US naval blockade of Iranian ports has now claimed a second disabled tanker, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis exchange strikes across Yemen's coastline and southern Saudi cities, and a collapsed ceasefire haunts every negotiation. Humanity watches a familiar pattern unfold — the machinery of war and the machinery of diplomacy running simultaneously, each threatening to outpace the other.
