At a time of war in the Middle East, the US has no ambassador in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Iraq or Kuwait. At a time of war in Europe, there is no US ambassador in Russia or Ukraine. Altogether some 115 of 195 ambassador posts are vacant. @RobbieGramer wsj.com/politics/policy/u-s-…

For the the idea of a regional non-aggression pact based on Helsinki model to be workable there must be a U.S.-Iran non-aggression pact, which Tehran has been open to. Without it non-aggression pact gives Arab states security but not Iran. Second, a successful pact needs real economic engagement which was part of Helsinki and was a promise of Iran-Saudi normalization. This needs U.S. sanctions relief. Arab states right can offer Iran neither security nor economic engagement on a non-aggression pact.
