TEHRAN – In his analysis, Shagh considered the upcoming Council meeting and the uncertain path of Iran’s engagement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The paper states that the next IAEA Board of Governors meeting will be of particular significance as it will be the first meeting following the European Troika’s activation of the snapback mechanism. These two developments and the contradictory reactions of the countries involved created an unprecedentedly complex atmosphere at the conference. Beyond their legal importance, board meetings are also politically sensitive. The IAEA’s reporting approach, the potential referral of the Iran incident to the UN Security Council, and member states’ responses could all shape the nature of diplomatic pressure and engagement between Iran, the IAEA, and the West. Russia and China could use their influence to block new sanctions or delay sanctions committee proceedings, while Western countries are likely to use the incident as a political pressure and negotiation tool. Conflicting interpretations among board members about how to handle Iran-related files have made future meetings tense and ambiguous. In such a situation, any report or position taken by Mr. Grossi could have a direct impact on Iran’s level of cooperation with the IAEA and determine the future course of this sensitive case.
Jawan: “The US had no basis to justify military invasion”
The jawan interviewed international affairs expert Hesameddin Burmand regarding President Trump’s admission that he was “largely responsible” for Israel’s 12-day attack on Iran in June, which also involved the military. Analysts say: President Trump acknowledged that the United States played a key role in Israel’s attack on Iran during the 12-day war. This confession by the American president is enough for the world to recognize America as a major partner of the criminal Zionist regime. Just as the crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza have been supported and directed by the United States, this confession further exposes the falsity of Washington’s claims to diplomatic commitments. More than anything, this confession exposes the lies of U.S. officials about their diplomatic efforts and shows once again that they are accustomed to deception and are willing to commit attacks and crimes even in the midst of negotiations with nations. President Trump’s clear admission that the Zionist regime had orchestrated and prepared an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran means that the United States recognizes that there was no legal justification for a military invasion. In this context, the concept of “legitimate self-defense” lacks legal status, and the attack was not authorized by the UN Security Council. In view of this blatant aggression, the United States must accept responsibility for the military attack and is obligated to fully compensate for any material or moral damage resulting from its unlawful acts.
Farhikhtegan: profitable corridor
Foreign Minister Fahiktegan spoke about the Iranian-Russian maritime consortium in an interview with Russian affairs expert Mehdi Seif Tabrizi. He believes that the arrival of Russia’s first freight train in Iran and the establishment of the maritime consortium are steps forward in moving the North-South Corridor forward. These routes are highly profitable for Iran, especially if the sea lanes are activated more quickly. The advantage of this sea route is that it is unopposed, meaning it does not involve countries like Azerbaijan, which would otherwise require Iran to pay tariffs. Moreover, the cost of transporting containers by ship between the two countries is significantly lower than the cost incurred by rail for the same volume. Once this central portion of the maritime corridor becomes operational, its benefits will extend far beyond rail and road. Therefore, this is a progressive step and is fully in line with the treaty concluded with Russia. Although progress continues within the government, we have made a step forward in implementing the maritime consortium and moving forward with the corridor initiative.
Hamshafri: An outrageous project
In his article, Prime Minister Hamshafli referred to the absurd act committed by two people posing as soldiers in the Tehran metro. The newspaper wrote that following this absurd act, media outlets affiliated with the Pahlavi terrorist organization began to stir up fear. At the same time, the Zionist regime’s information minister, Gila Gamliel, shared an image of two scammers on the Tehran subway with the caption: “This is the beginning.” This tweet clearly suggests a joint project between the Zionist regime and the Pahlavi terrorist organization aimed at destabilizing Iran. Reza Pahlavi also supported the Israeli regime’s invasion of Iran and attacks on civilians during the 12-day war, arguing that it was the perfect opportunity to overthrow the Islamic Republic. Obviously, the purpose of this nonsense is to lend credence to monarchist ambitions and to provoke the ignorant sections of society. This action now has the open support of the Zionist regime and ultimately serves the purpose of inciting chaos and paving the way for a new military attack against Iran.
