TEHRAN – In a note, Kayhan says it is not advisable to rely on the JCPOA.
It wrote: First of all, we should know that in the JCPOA, Iran is a “creditor” and should be a demander. But some consider Iran a “debtor” in the JCPOA and see life and death in it. The capacity of the country, the achievements, and the youth of this country have repeatedly undermined the plans of the West. We must remember that the JCPOA does not do magic to compensate for our inefficiency. The expression “JCPOA means employment” is an interpretation that contradicts what has been achieved and ignores the historical memory of the people. With such an interpretation, some people intend to tie the JCPOA to the economy and employment. It is advisable not to tie the programs that lead to growth and development to the JCPOA and not make the country wait for a possible revival of the agreement.
Etemad: Importance of Kurdistan region for Iran in the war of corridors
In an analysis, Etemad dealt with the importance of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region for Iran. It wrote: The recent visit of the president of Iran to the Kurdistan Region showed the geopolitical importance of this region more than ever. The geostrategic position of the Kurdistan Region is important for Iran. It can act as a strategic route for energy corridors, including gas pipelines. In a situation in which Iran is under sanctions pressure by world powers, some countries are abusing the situation by seeking to omit Iran from corridors. This is while both Iran’s rival regional actors and world powers have always sought to weaken Iran’s geo-economic and geo-strategic position to put the Islamic Republic under economic siege. The idea of the IMEC corridor and the India-Middle East-Europe communication route is supposed to pass through Iraq and the occupied territory without considering Iran’s interests.
Shargh: The new government and challenging diplomacy
In an article, Shargh discussed the hostile behavior of the West, particularly the European troika, towards Tehran. It wrote: In the past days, the claim that Iran has sent missiles and drones to Russia has become a reason for applying a new round of sanctions on Iran and intensifying anti-Iran policies. Tehran has repeatedly denied reports of sending short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. The Europeans and the United States have adopted a hostile policy against Tehran regarding the war in Ukraine. This commotion resulted in a new round of sanctions on the country last week. However, Westerners believe the continued anti-Iran approach will not lead to a change in the direction of the foreign policy of the 14th government (sitting government), because the new president of Iran has sent this signal that he is interested in re-engaging with the West, which can probably lead to the re-establishment of relations and the lifting of sanctions. American officials believe that with each passing day, the chances of a major incident and a significant escalation of tension are decreasing. However, the increasing U.S. military presence in the region continues to act as a deterrent. Since the election of Pezeshkian, Iran has shown the Biden administration that it is interested in dialogue.
Javan: American foreign policy after the election
Javan addressed the U.S. foreign policy if Trump is elected in the upcoming elections. It wrote: The U.S. and the Zionist regime give special priority to Iran’s case and are already planning for it. America implements these plans, whether through war or containment, with the coordination of England, Europe, and the Zionists. Sanctions are a tool of war for America and it will never lay down its weapons and will not be disarmed. If Trump comes to power in the U.S., he will reassess Washington’s policy toward European NATO allies and intensify support for Israel. His threats to regional and global peace will increase and his policy toward the Ukraine crisis and Washington’s ties with Europe and China will also become predictable.
