TEHRAN PAPERS

Washington at the peak of human rights violations

July 3, 2024 - 22:39

TEHRAN - In a note, the Iran newspaper investigated America's record about human rights.

It wrote: America's performance and positions about human rights confirm that this country, despite its humanitarian slogans, has become the main violator of human rights over the past years. When making human rights claims, the United States of America puts countries like Iran under comprehensive pressure and imposes sanctions against them. America's support for the nature and crimes of the Zionist regime is America's biggest action against human rights, which has entered a new phase since last year in the Gaza war. During Iran's deterrent attack on the occupied territories, it was the U.S. defense systems and military weapons that came to the aid of the Zionist regime to counter Iran's missiles and drones. For America and its Western partners, human rights are relevant as long as their crimes are not involved and they can advance their policies in the world by using humanitarian concepts as a tool.

Donya-e-Eqtesad: Iran's future in Shanghai

In a commentary, Donya-e-Eqtesad dealt with the importance of the Shanghai Pact for Iran. The paper said: Transit and energy are a high priority for Iran in the Shanghai Pact. These two cases can have an early impact on the improvement of Iran's economy due to their high and early productivity. On the other hand, Iran will try to do wider marketing with the aim of selling its oil to other member countries of Shanghai. In addition to China, which is currently the largest buyer of Iranian oil, Iran can encourage other member countries of Shanghai and the region to buy the oil they need from Iran by serious marketing in the Shanghai area. Iran is selling its oil at cheaper prices due to the intensification of U.S. sanctions. The benefit of China and Russia from Iran's current situation has caused them to have access to Iran's cheap energy. Therefore, they will try to keep Iran in its current state. Iran joining Shanghai or BRICS as important international organizations will give Iran a more prominent position.

Arman-e-Emrooz: The shadow of FATF over election candidates

In a commentary, Arman-e-Emrooz addressed the declaration of the statement of the Special Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday and wrote: Exactly in the days when FATF became the topic of the Islamic Republic's election debates, the Special Task Force on Financial Action (FATF) declared that Iran will still be in the money laundering blacklist of this group. FATF has two main opponents in Iran; A group of its opponents believes that joining FATF prevents Iran from evading sanctions. Another group believes that if the name of the Iranian resistance front groups is included in the list of terrorist groups by the United States and Western countries, the banks of the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer be able to have financial transactions with them. It should also be noted that placing Iran's name on the FATF blacklist has a significant impact on Iran's foreign policy and economy. In addition to damaging Iran's credibility and soft power in international forums, this has imposed many restrictions and costs on the country's trade and financial transactions and keeps important business partners away from Iran.

Sazandegi: Iran has gained enough experience

In an article, Sazandegi discussed Iran's outlook after the elections and wrote: The system of the Islamic Republic has a structure, and the future president must be able to intelligently make the maximum impact on the people's expectations in this system structure, and if he can do around 60 or 70%, it is very positive and a forward move, and one more move should be made in the next stage and increase its effectiveness. Currently, Iran has reached maturity, because they conduct many behind-the-scenes negotiations and do not conduct face-to-face negotiations with the American president. The new president should put JCPOA, solving FATF issues, money transfer, and SWIFT among his priorities, and with the economic team he chooses, he can solve these issues. The saboteurs say that if Mr. Jalili comes to work, and Trump also assumes office, the Islamic Republic and the regime will be under a lot of pressure and internal protests will lead to the destruction of the Islamic Republic. But this is an illusion and only increases the pressure on people. The best thing a government can do is to reduce the pressure on people.
