TEHRAN PAPERS

From confrontation strategy to de-escalation strategy

February 14, 2024 - 22:57

TEHRAN - In a note, Shargh discussed the continuation of U.S. actions to seize and steal Iranian assets and wrote: Following U.S. actions in seizing and stealing Iranian assets, from oil to airplanes, Tehran's reaction can be analyzed on four levels; first, a complaint in the American courts.

Second, complaints in competent international fora. Third, Iran's countermeasure and finally the fourth reaction will be de-escalation. Yousef Molaei, an international lawyer, believes that no authority can force America to return Iranian property. Using its political, diplomatic, economic, commercial and military bullying, Washington practically refuses to comply with any vote of competent international assemblies. Therefore, the final solution is diplomatic de-escalation, which can provide Iran with a soft power that, on the one hand, prevents the United States from taking actions such as sanctions and seizing Iranian assets, and on the other hand, even if such decisions are made, Tehran can form a front against Washington through its soft power, which will increase Washington's political and diplomatic expenses.

Etemad: America's strategic confusion in the region

In an article, Etemad discussed America's strategy in the region and said: America is in strategic confusion in West Asia, especially after the Al-Aqsa storm operation. In the Gaza war, on the one hand, America sends a message to Iran to prevent Hezbollah from entering the Gaza war, on the other hand, Netanyahu's government intensifies the fire in the northern fronts against Hezbollah. The same contradiction exists for Iran. America is not ready for a direct war with Iran in the current situation and has no plan for a direct conflict with Iran, but Netanyahu is blowing the flames of a direct conflict between Iran and America. From their point of view, Iran is a destabilizing actor that must be restrained, and the way to restrain is to avoid direct conflict and increase economic and political pressures so that Iran's internal and external costs will increase. Now the problem is this, if Iran cooperates with the Palestinian two-state plan, then it must create a major revision in its foreign policy, and if it opposes, then the front against Iran will go beyond America and Europe and will include the countries of the region as well.

Javan: America's anger against the will of the Iranian people

In an analysis, Javan discussed America's opposition to the will of the Iranian people and said: In the mind of the leaders of the White House, neither the people of Iran nor any other independent nation has the right to think and make decisions without the permission of the United States, and this is what they say, "The only capital in which there is no coup is Washington because there is no American embassy there." In the past 45 years, the most important focus of the Americans in the case of Iran has been the restraint of the will of the Iranian nation by separating the system from society. Today, the defensive deterrence power and the coherence of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are such that the realization of traditional coup plans is no longer possible. Their main goal is for the Iranian people to separate from their political system, which seeks to restore Iran's power. America's hybrid war against Iranians and all kinds of sanctions and media pressures are aimed at restraining the power of the Iranian people, and only in this way will America's 45-year dream come true.

Ham Mihan: Ending the Gaza crisis is a way to reduce the tension between Iran and America

In a commentary, Ham Mihan dealt with a way to prevent the escalation of tension between Iran and the United States and wrote: From the very first days, radical supporters of Israel in the United States accused Iran and sought the root of the Al-Aqsa storm operation in Tehran. According to Ahmad Dastmalchian, the former ambassador of Iran to Jordan and Lebanon, the first effective measure to reduce tension is to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime. The boiling point of the crisis in Palestine must be removed. Both America, Europe and the countries of the region agree on the fact that a ceasefire should be established. If the countries of the region, Iran, the United States and other countries can work together to calm Netanyahu and make the Gaza crisis finish, other issues between Iran and the United States will be investigated and an agreement may be resumed in the same JCPOA form.
