In a memo, Tehran analysed the letters by foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and China to the Secretary-General of the UN Security Council and the President, stressing that Iran, China and Russia have no chance of applying a conflict resolution mechanism against Iran unless the impact of the US withdrawal from the JCPOA is addressed.
The European Troika wrote to members of the UN Security Council on Thursday, announcing that it had invoked a “snapback mechanism” process to return UN sanctions against Iran (removed under the JCPOA). The Islamic Republic of Iran has always emphasized that the snapback mechanism has no legal justification and will result in a decisive response from Tehran. Many experts believe that the recent decisions of the members of three European countries towards the JCPOA in such a situation indicate that they, together with the US, are trying to exploit the psychological atmosphere caused by snapbacks. Experts say that the activation of UN sanctions in the framework of the so-called snapback process has no greater effect than unilateral US sanctions.
Siasat-e-Rooz: Powerful missile capabilities are the desire of Iranians
Siasat-e-Rooz has dedicated an editorial to the Iranian people’s desire for advanced missile capabilities. It writes: military power and authority are a great advantage for people of all countries, especially when the country is under various threats. Missiles are seeing how a sense of pride and power is being formed among the people of society, raising morale for the people and forcing these missiles to rain on the enemy and accept defeat and ceasefire. Iran’s Islamic Republic missiles became enemy nightmares as they know that new and devastating missiles are waiting for them if they taste the enemy and make another mistake and make another wrong decision. Iran’s nuclear issue is an excuse to announce one of the conditions for the West to dismantle Iran’s missiles, as everyone knows. In fact, the West wants to disarmament of Islamic Iran, and if such desires are realized, please do not hesitate for a while to launch a military attack on our country.
Hamshahri: Non-dollar settlement mechanism and Iranian opportunities
In the analysis, Hamshali discussed Iran’s participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit and the opportunities ahead of the organization’s membership. The paper states: One of these opportunities is the use of non-dollar settlement mechanisms. Iran already has limited experience with bilateral agreements and alternative financial messaging systems. Shanghai cooperative organizations can formalise these routes through multilateral agreements, but require pre-built banking networks and currency exchange agreements. Focusing on small and beautiful projects, earning loans for local projects and implementing educational programs can have immediate benefits. However, if UN sanctions are revived (as the European trio wrote to the UN Security Council to invoke a snapback mechanism), Iran needs political assurances from China and Russia, the leading SCO players willing to embrace the risk of conflict with the US. Iran has the real potential to economically utilize the promises of Shanghai Cooperation Agency, particularly in the field of energy and infrastructure.
Jam-e-Jam: The turning point of peace and progress
Jam-e Jam analyzed the benefits of Iranian membership in Shanghai Cooperation Agency, which posted the leaders of China’s Tianjin head of state from August 31 to September 1. It states: It also clearly emphasizes the incompetence of Western parties, particularly in the US, France, Germany and the UK, calling it an illegal, unilateral tool to put pressure on Iran. In contrast, SCO members have expressed full support for our country’s right to access peaceful nuclear energy. The second day of the Shanghai Summit centered on a statement denounced the attack on Iran, the Pezeshkian speech in a multipolar world, and the signature of 20 cooperative documents. These are recognized as turning points in the organization’s history. The incident not only strengthened solidarity among members facing threats, but also paved the way for deeper economic cooperation. Side meetings also helped us to advance our shared goals, focusing on bilateral issues. The SCO is shaping a fairer future where all members can be heard as a symbol of peace and progress, and external pressures cannot hamper their development.
