When foreign policy becomes a family business, agreements do not produce peace, but short-term bargains...
When negotiations on Iran are no longer led by diplomats, but by family insiders and real estate businessmen, then the problem is no longer just Tehran. The problem is Washington.
Once, American diplomacy was sold as the cold art of statesmanship: interests, alliances, balances, pressure, and compromise. Today, in the Trump era, it looks more like a marketplace where countries, conflicts, and agreements are treated like building plots.
The talks with Iran are exposing precisely this degradation.
Instead of professional diplomats, who know history, the language of crisis, and the weight of state language, son-in-laws, family friends, investors, and emissaries with business records in the Middle East appear on the scene.
Jared Kushner is the clearest symbol of this new diplomacy: not career diplomacy, but in-law diplomacy. Not state school, but access to the in-laws. Not institutional neutrality, but interests intertwined with sovereign funds, technology, close ties to Israel, the Persian Gulf, and private ambitions.
Alongside him, Steve Witkoff represents the same philosophy: if you can negotiate a luxury tower, why not negotiate the Iranian nuclear program? This is the tragicomedy of the American moment. A superpower that once projected world order, today exports the developer model: land, money, deals, photos and dizzying profits.
The problem is not that businessmen can't talk. The problem is that diplomacy is not business. In diplomacy, the price of failure is not a failed project, but a destabilized region, uncertain allies, and enemies who no longer trust the American word.
Iran understands this. The Gulf states understand this. Israel understands this. Everyone understands that in Washington, negotiations are no longer just with America, but also with the circle of people who have access to the President. And in diplomacy, access is often worth more than argument.
This is why “son-in-law diplomacy” is more dangerous than it seems. It doesn’t just weaken the State Department. It turns foreign policy into a family affair, an auction of influence, and an instrument for deals that may look spectacular in press releases but are fragile on the ground.
Such agreements produce headlines, not peace. They produce ceremony, not stability. They produce private beneficiaries, but also public losers.
In the end, the crisis in the negotiations with Iran is not just a nuclear crisis. It is a crisis of credibility. America is trying to convince the world that it remains the power that guarantees international order, while its own diplomatic order has been replaced with family ties, financial interests, and emissaries unprepared for the weight of history.
And when an empire begins to negotiate the world with the logic of grooms, the fall does not come with a bang. It comes with smiles, with contracts, and with a curated photo in the White House./ Pamphlet
