Tehran-Sobh-e-no reviewed the seventh negotiation between the failed Iran and the European troika (UK, Fress, Germany).
It writes: The seventh round of negotiations between Iran and the European troika ended without any consequences. In negotiations, Europe, acting as a proxy for Israel and the US, secured the outcome of fleeing them during the 12-day war in June, using the snapback mechanism as leverage at the negotiation table. Iran is prepared for every scenario, from obscure nuclear activities to using local power and influence to protect itself. From an economic standpoint, the return of UN Security Council sanctions will not make much difference, as the United States has already applied all possible sanctions. However, Iran’s nuclear issue is an opportunity for Europe to break out of its global equations even further from seclusion. In a situation where Israel is desperately incited European troikas to activate snapback mechanisms and diplomatic channels, Europe can avoid dancing to Israeli and the US tone, preventing escalation of tensions by acting as an independent actor and restoring its position in global politics by managing the crisis.
Siasat-e-Rooz: West’s attempt to blackmail Iran through snapback
Siasat-e-Rooz wrote a letter to the UN Security Council to activate the snapback mechanism against Iran, and analyzed the behavior of Europeans. The paper states: After unveiling the snapback mechanism, Europeans have been arguing that they are open to negotiations. If the West had really wanted negotiations, it would have done so during these years, and would have fulfilled its obligations under the JCPOA rather than illegally energizing the snapback mechanism. The results show that the West, who imagines the economic situation to be unstable, is trying to intimidate Iran. The main point is that the West has failed in a military conflict and is trying to surrender Iran in the form of imposed diplomacy. The country’s economic status during the 12-day war showed that Iran overcomes the difficult situation caused by sanctions and simply requires internal convergence and proper management. Meanwhile, Trump’s response to tariffs shows that the dollar’s value has lost its essence and can neutralize sanctions through closer interactions with neighbors and blocs such as BRICS and Shanghai.
Jam-e-Jam: A tool that doesn’t work for Iran
In an interview with international affairs analyst Dr. Mohammad Malandi, Jammu discussed the issue of snapbacks and the importance of relations with Iran with countries such as China and Russia. Marandi said: After the activation of snapbacks, maximum pressure sanctions include all cases currently in force. China’s rejection of Russia and this process served our interest and emphasized that there had been efforts to undermine relations with these countries in Iran, and our situation was rather challenging. The foreign policy of Iran’s Islamic Republic has acted rationally and has always tried to build good relations with all countries around the world, including China and Russia. We accepted indirect negotiations on our own terms, but after the attack on Iran it became clear that the West had no good intentions and unreliable. The Islamic Republic intends to act authoritatively and intellectually, and at the same time strengthen the relationship between BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Agency and the countries’ members. Therefore, Western threat tools are rapidly losing their steam.
Kayhan: Iran’s strategy today is reciprocity, not passivity
In the commentary, Kayhan writes that Iran is adopting a mutual approach towards the west. The point is that the West does not understand the language of logic and negotiation. What matters in the face of the horrifying western mail is the language of power and mutual threat. The best and most critical response to the snapback mechanism is to withdraw from the NPT. This action not only sends a clear message to the West, but also shows that Iran is no longer subjugating a oppressive and one-sided approach. The West is not afraid of Iranian uranium enrichment and centrifuges, but fears Iran’s independence, progress and empowerment under conditions of sanctions and pressure. Therefore, snapback mechanisms, JCPOA, sanctions, and diplomatic pressures are all covering the same main goal of containing and halting a model called the Islamic Republic. By activating the snapback mechanism, Europe has shown that the JCPOA is nothing more than an Iranian trap. Now, by withdrawing from the NPT, the Islamic Republic shows it does not want to accept these ridiculous shows. This decision is not only a response to Europe and America’s rog arrogance, but also a clear message from the Iranian state. Dignity, independence and the rights of the state cannot be negotiated.
