Tehran – In an interview with American affairs expert Foad Izadi, Kayhan discussed the relationship between not negotiating with the US and maintaining national interests.
He said: Preserving national interests is an important indicator when considering whether to consider negotiations. We need to pursue it if it could help protect the national interest, but if negotiations are harmful to the national interest, they should be abandoned. It is not an honor to repeatedly talk about negotiations with the US. Repeated introductions make assumptions among US officials that pressure policies should work well and should continue. There is currently a consensus in Washington that Iran is weakening. Negotiation claims reinforce this assumption. The reality is that sanctions against Iran are in the hands of Congress, not in the hands of Trump. So far, Trump has not spoken about negotiations with Iran, and has only used the term negotiating with other countries. Therefore, we must be realistic and use past experiences to make smarter decisions.
Iran: Snapback Challenge
In its analysis, the Iranian newspaper discussed a UN Security Council meeting on the level of uranium enrichment by Iran, writing: The rapid pace of development on Iran’s nuclear files is sought to promote pressure on Iran by triggering a snapback mechanism to restore the previous UN resolution system that the West lifted Iran under the 2015 nuclear deal. The European side of the nuclear trade (UK, France and Germany known as E3) appears to be trying to follow the US anti-JCPOA approach in line with Donald Trump’s sanctions policy on Iran for its nuclear program. This led the US-led Europeans made unproven claims against Iran and asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to submit a comprehensive report on Iran. This atmosphere, demonstrating the Western non-constructive and destructive approach to Iran’s nuclear issue, will quickly revive international sanctions against Iran, affecting the negotiations that Iran has launched in Geneva with the JCPOA’s three European countries parties, destroying all diplomatic capabilities.
Jam-e-Jam: The Unipola world is over
With the geopolitical development of the region and the world becoming more complicated every day, strategic cooperation between emerging powers has become one of the key factors for ensuring international security. The Joint Navy Drill (Maritime Security Belt 2025) with Iran, China and Russia’s participation in the North Indian Ocean is extremely important. The importance of this drill is not only limited to the military aspect. Rather, cooperation between the three major powers of this strategic waterway sends a clear message about changing balance of power in the international system. Given the presence of observers from various countries, military exercises can be seen as a step towards integrating Iran’s position as an effective player to ensure regional and global security. According to Iran’s naval commander Admiral Shalam Irani, the drill shows Iran is a player of regional stability and security, and its capabilities are on the proactive path alongside other countries. We can properly play our part with the maximum power of the stability that exists in our region.
