Ending the Israel-Iran War

Hello everyone,
I am making a public disclosure of part of my proposal for ending the war between Israel and Iran. I am proposing that a middle east union be created that works in a similar way to the European Union, with a directly elected parliament. Egypt should be permitted to simultaneously be a member of the African Union as well as the middle east union, and Turkey should be permitted to simultaneously be a member of the European Union as well as the middle east union.
I have proposed this idea elsewhere, however I wanted to record this idea publicly in an official location, so that I can claim credit in the future.
Thank you, that is all.
Shane

I am assuming that Israel and Iran would be member states of the middle east union. This is a key part of why it would bring peace.
If the middle east union extends as far as Pakistan, then I think Pakistan should be permitted to simultaneously be a member state of the middle east union, as well as a union with India if one were created in the future.

I am thinking of this post as something somewhat like a patent. I tried to write it in a way such that it gave some specific instructions for an actual solution to the problem, but also tried to be as general as possible so that it would be difficult for the actual politicians to solve the problem without solving it the way I specified.
I can understand why it might be annoying that I mentioned that I want to claim credit, however I am trying to create this association that the post is kind of like a patent, and being able to brag about it in the future is the reward. The patent system is annoying but it is supposed to be a system that rewards people for thinking of good ideas and publicly disclosing them. If others posted similar posts trying to solve other world problems I would not find it annoying.

I am reading my own post and it starts with "I am making a public disclosure" and it annoys me to read that because it sounds like I am arbitrarily using a weird phrase, but public disclosure is actually the phrase lawyers use. Anyway all that really matters is that I wrote the idea somewhere.
If they actually make a political union in the middle east I think that would be cool and I would visit.
