Siasat-e-Rooz devoted its editorial to Ian’s position against the Zionist regime and the United States in the current sensitive situation and wrote:
Iran’s high military power, from the hunting of American drones to the True Promise Operation against the Zionist regime, has shown that the greater the defense and military power, the retreat of the Zionist regime and America will be more. Now the battleground can change the balance of power in favor of the region and put Washington and Tel Aviv in a defensive position. On the other hand, it can force America to change its approach from pressure to negotiation. These components, along with strengthening peace and security for Iran and the region, can be the basis for ending the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon and improving Iran’s global position in the international arena.
Jam-e-Jam: Concerns about repeating JCPOA experience with the FATF
In an analysis, Jam-e-Jam addressed discussions over the need to implement the FATF that is being discussed in the media and political circles in the new Pezeshkian administration. The paper said: In the current situation, 37 clauses of the agreement have been accepted (by Iran) and it must be acknowledged clearly that almost a considerable number of the FATF signatories have refused to undertake such amount of obligations. This indicates that Westerners are looking for excuses instead of solving the problem. Joining the FATF is similar to the defunct JCPOA agreement. Another point is that the JCPOA was a historical experience for us and the nuclear deal did not achieve anything for our country. The truth is that we believe in negotiation, but a dialogue from an equal position that protects our interests and rights. The problem is that some just like to negotiate and do not consider the national interests. These days, whenever discussions over joining the FATF have been raised, some have stated that the critics are against the economic opening. While this issue is not true. It should be said that the negotiation and the issue of joining international agreements should be beneficial for the country.
Sobh-e-No: Delicate situations and the New York trip
In a commentary, Sobh-e-No pointed to the priorities of President Pezeshkian in his trip to New York and said: Masoud Pezeshkian’s first trip to New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly sends important messages for the international community and provides an opportunity for Iran to adjust its policies in conjunction with developments, especially on the issues of security, sanctions and human rights. The trip to New York is taking place as the Middle East region is grappling with serious challenges. The crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and Lebanon have reached their peak, and the tensions between Iran and some Western powers are continuing. On this trip, Iran tries to use diplomatic opportunities to reduce international pressure by managing these tensions which can be considered a turning point in Iran’s foreign policy. The trip is a valuable opportunity to strengthen Iran’s position in the world with a focus on multilateral diplomacy and make efforts to remove unfair sanctions, strengthen economic and scientific cooperation, and explain our country’s positions on important regional and global issues.
Iran: Washington’s failed policy
Previously, the Ebrahim Raisi government had put negotiations on its agenda to lift sanctions against the country, but Biden did not take a practical step in this regard. Despite holding several rounds of indirect secret negotiations with Iran in Muscat, they did not produce results. In recent years, most of the meetings by American strategists have focused on slowing down Iran’s nuclear program, disrupting the process of military cooperation between Tehran and Moscow, and opening new security cases against Tehran. Since the U.S. government was facing bigger challenges such as the Ukraine war and the current war in the Middle East, it did not intend to create another problem for itself at home by striking an agreement with Iran (as hardliners are opposed to rapprochement with Iran). In such a situation, the prospect for possible implementation of the JCPOA was weakened but the pace of Iran’s nuclear programs kept increasing. With this in mind, the new government has decided to make this process happen in a dignified atmosphere by highlighting America’s unbalanced policy about the negotiations and sees the New York meeting as a good opportunity to achieve this goal.
