Shargh devoted its editorial to the current sensitive situation in the region and Iran’s policy towards it. It wrote: The reality is that the Western world stands behind Israel’s crimes. While Israel is trying to push Iran towards a full-scale war, Iran has two ways ahead. First to develop its weapons technology. Second, it should undertake extensive diplomacy with the world. In areas of foreign policy, Iran can direct its negotiations with the United States with the centrality of Europe in the form of extensive diplomacy. This approach can produce positive results. Even if the negotiations in Europe are prolonged, “securitization from the face of the Islamic Republic” will lose color in Europe as an important center of global diplomacy. Gradual moves, de-securitization from the “country’s face” and creating a positive balance in international trade are among the cornerstones of diplomacy.
Hamshahri: Iran’s patience in response to Israel
Hamshahri wrote in a note: After the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, foreign media have made numerous speculations about the reason for Iran’s delay in fulfilling its promise of revenge. The explosion of pagers in the hands of the Lebanese Hezbollah forces last week and the injury of the Iranian ambassador in this incident once again increased the possibility of Iran’s retaliation. Israel’s repeated efforts to spread the war beyond the borders of the occupied territory and a possible large-scale conflict with Hezbollah and Iran are considered an exit route from the current deadlock that the regime is caught in. Therefore, the delay in Iran’s response is of great importance to global media outlets. According to Behnam Ben Taleblou, a senior researcher at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, self-restraint is the highest level of tact that Iran and Hezbollah have been showing. Therefore, Iran and Hezbollah are very eager to continue this strategy and gradually intensify it to Israel’s tolerance threshold.
Siasat-e-Rooz: Self-sufficiency is defense industry is a great asset
Siasat-e-Rooz analyzed self-sufficiency in defense industry which has turned Iran into the greatest regional power. The paper said: After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the armed forces achieved self-sufficiency in the defense industry with the strong belief that Iran can never trust the West. The armed forces also succeeded to turn the Iranian nation into the first power in the region and in some instances first in the world in maritime, land, air, and defense fields. Now even a superpower like America does not dare to take military action against Iran. It admits that any action against Iran means that the entire region will be put on fire. Targeting the American Al-Assad Airbase in Iraq, the missile and drone attacks on Israel in the True Promise Operation and reliance on domestic power have removed the shadow of war on Iran. Another important point is that Iran’s defense authority serves the security and stability of the region because Tehran considers the security of its neighbors as its security and emphasizes the need for convergence between neighbors to achieve durable security without the presence of foreigners. Iraq’s recent action in disarming and transferring separatist terrorists from Iran’s borders to camps is a turning point in this process, which can strengthen the security in the region.
Donya-e-Eqtesad: Prospect for nuclear negotiations
The appointment of Abbas Araghchi as foreign minister has increased the hope of reviving the nuclear negotiations. Of course, it is unlikely that the JCPOA will be revived. The most likely scenario is bilateral talks between the United States and Iran instead of multi-state talks. There is also a possibility that the new negotiations will deal with issues beyond the JCPOA and include regional issues as well. Iran’s urgent need to reduce sanctions changes the prospect of negotiations. Considering the increasing tensions between Israel and Iran and the groups supported by Iran, Tel Aviv will demand the recognition of its interests. Many political analysts in Iran believe that one of the reasons that Israel targeted Haniyeh in Tehran was to weaken the chances of the Pezeshkian government to improve relations with the West. The increase in the popularity of Kamala Harris in the polls could encourage the White House to revive nuclear talks and even negotiations with Iran on other issues. In fact, if Harris wins, the Biden administration will have three months to work on such difficult issues. Qatar or Oman will be the possible place for such negotiations.
