TEHRAN PAPERS

Reopening strategic paths for the 14th government

July 20, 2024 - 22:24

TEHRAN - In a note, the Iran newspaper discussed four huge projects for economic capacity building and wrote: The premature end of the 13th government does not mean that the country's capacities are going to be handed over to the next government without any changes or developments.

The 13th government took important steps in order to create new opportunities and capacities for the country. One of the huge projects is the importance of reproducing the capacity of frontiersmen. The second project is to promote Iran's role in regional transit. The third project was sea-oriented development, the operational phase of which was followed seriously, and the follow-up of the country's sea-oriented development was on the agenda. The fourth huge project was the signing of an understanding of bilateral cooperation in the field of natural gas transmission from Russia to Iran. It was an important step to turn Iran into an energy hub in the region. Now the path of the next government has been paved in these four major areas and there is no need to follow everything from the beginning. Today, a fresh determination is needed to continue moving in this direction.

Siasat-e-Rooz: The secret to success

Siasat-e-Rooz devoted its editorial to the important and influential approach in the development of the region. It wrote: A historical look at the developments in West Asia shows two important and influential approaches that played a major role in the fate of the equations of this strategic region. Firstly, an approach that has always been promoted by extra-regional actors and rulers, especially Westerners, has been ethnic and racial categories. Secondly, at the opposite point of the domination system, there is the approach of the resistance front centered on the Islamic Republic of Iran. This approach has always followed the principle of unity based on reaching a stable and advanced region in a lasting peace. The result of this unity can be seen in the region's victory over imposed terrorism and these days in Palestine. The solution of each country in the region in the domestic and regional arena is not to get caught in the divisive game of the domination system under the banner of the word pluralism, as well as to preserve unity, as its concrete manifestation can be seen in the achievements of the resistance front.

Sobh-e-No: BRICS and parliamentary diplomacy

In an interview with Shoaib Bahman, an expert on international issues, Sobh-e-No wrote about the presence of the heads of parliament of the BRICS member states: Iran's presence in this mechanism is a significant opportunity, as Iran can also be a connecting point for BRICS geographically and provide its surrounding environment to BRICS members. Iran's presence in BRICS shows the failure of the U.S. sanctions project because it shows that both the sanctions did not achieve their goals and they failed to isolate Iran. Parliaments are one of the components of this development of relations between BRICS member countries. Parliamentary diplomacy can help the synergy between the parliaments of the member countries so that the decisions taken are approved more quickly and easily in the member parliaments. One of the duties of parliaments is legislation, so they can help effectively in the legislative process. Because the presidents of the parliaments predominate on the internal laws of their own country, so the gathering of their presidents can help achieve better results in the policy process.

Arman-e-Melli: Iran should not be a source of tension between America, China, and Russia

In an interview with Heshmatollah Falahat Pisheh, Arman-e-Melli dealt with the de-escalation approach of Pezeshkian. The paper said: The type of election enthusiasm in Iran was such that anyone, including Biden and Trump, who came to power in the United States would seek de-escalation with Iran. A scientific understanding in this field tells us that America's main tensions are with Russia and China, and Iran should not be a source of tensions between America, Russia, and China. The meaning of this approach is not to lose China and Russia. Anyway, in the current situation, Russia is known as a political and military power and China is a big economic and political power in the world. Despite this, Pezeshkian will try to advance relations with China and Russia in a way that does not play a decisive role in other fields. Iran will not face an obstacle ahead to de-escalate the tension with the West. An important part of this issue also has something to do with sanctions. In the issue of sanctions, Russia and China not only did not help Iran but also took their benefits.
