2. It is the Iran conference where uttering the word Iran is almost taboo. It is the Middle East peace gathering with utterly no chance of forging peace in the Middle East.
And it is a meeting intended to end a sense of U.S. isolation from discussions about the region that so far have only cast a bright light on President Donald Trump’s pariah status among longtime allies.
Officials from dozens of nations are convening in Warsaw at Washington’s behest on Wednesday for an event billed as the “Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East.”
Some, including diplomats representing America’s closest historical allies, said they are attending grudgingly, out of a sense of obligation and mainly in hopes of containing any damage.
A number of key players are not planning to attend at all — notably Russia, which is now viewed by many as the dominant power in the Middle East after successfully protecting President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.
Neither Iran nor Iranian opposition groups were invited, and on Monday Lebanon became the latest country to announce it would skip the event — a move viewed as showing solidarity with Tehran. Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil announced the decision in Beirut at a news conference with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif. Others not attending include Qatar, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority.
