A new Nash equilibrium for the Middles East?
What the loss of Iran General Soleimani means for Iran, Iraq and the Middle East. The AI based strike that removed Iranian General Soleimani from the Middle East war theater could herald a return to the Nash equilibrium in geopolitics. In other words, no player has anything to gain by only changing his or her strategy . Under such circumstances any strategic change would not spell gain for the house shaker unless the rest of the players change their strategy. And these perhaps were the thoughts sliding through the minds of the US policy makers when deciding to wipe General Soleimani out while in Iraq. This would see terrorist activity multiply everywhere in the world with the ancillary impact upon sensitive economic activities such as tourism, trade and sports exchanges. Eventually the player with stronger defense systems will overcome and a new equilibrium will be reached. Let’s pray that the new equilibrium is established through negotiations and not through terror.
