Looking for an award flight from BKK to ORD and the only routing is via AMM. I see that there is no rule barring transiting via mid east
As for MPM, gcmap shows BKK/ORD at 8561, and BKK/AMM/ORD at 4255 + 6236=10491. Which is less than 10701.
When booked 1st agent had some trouble 2nd figured it out but said rate desk keeps pricing as 2 awards as follows. Miles redeemedRecipientDescription05-07-202440,000 U40PTI AP BUS M EAST - ASIA Z205-07-202470,000 U70PUT - AP BUS 48US/CA T/F M EAST
Even if the fare rules or MPM allow it, AAdvantage rules do not allow an Asia 2 <> North America award to connect in the Middle East.
In order to be priced as a single award, you must fly via the pacific, a connection in Asia 1 or Asia 2 is ok.
