TEHRAN - In a note, Kayhan addressed the new position of the Russian authorities regarding the so-called Zangezur Corridor.

It wrote:  A possible establishment of the Zangezur Corridor, which will lead to serious geopolitical challenges in the South Caucasus region, faced a decisive reaction by the authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran and warned the parties against any geopolitical changes in this region. Now the radicals who claim reforms with the aim of damaging relations between Iran and non-Western powers such as China and Russia are trying to create a problem in Iran's relations with the non-Western world and make a foreign policy shift towards the West. The important point is that Iran should not undermine the path of our country's rising relations with Russia as a partner that is considered as a friend in Iran's foreign policy through self-interested stances. Undoubtedly, the main problem in the recent issue of the Zangezur Corridor, both at the international level and at the domestic level, is the lack of awareness about the priorities.

Shargh: The border challenge of the new government

In an article, Shargh pointed to Iran's border challenges in the South Caucasus region and said “Israel has made every effort to be Iran's priority and force Tehran to interact with it, and now it does not want to abandon this issue easily. Therefore, Israel will seek its interests and will not allow an agreement to be struck between Iran and the West without considering Tel Aviv’s interests. In other words, it will do its best to change the direction of the West to prevent what happened in 2015 that finally led to the conclusion of the JCPOA. Another issue that can put pressure on the diplomatic system of the country is the eruption of a war in the northwestern borders of Iran. The 14th government (the Pezeshkian government) should keep in mind the sensitive situation of Karabagh and manage the situation there with tact. While Israel and NATO have an active presence in the region and both have an influential presence in both Armenia and Azerbaijan, we should not allow the situation in Karabagh to turn into a crisis for Iran, something that both NATO and Israel are eager to create.

Jam-e-Jam: Corporate media campaign against Iran

Jam-e-Jam analyzed the Iranophobia campaign by the Western corporate media and wrote: For analyzing the national image of a country, it is important to study the effect of media on the audience as well as their dimensions. But the most important issue is the audience. Our country has been the target of the American Zionist "Iranophobia" project for decades. This project has been pursued by the official media outlets and Hollywood since the Islamic Revolution. They have sought to present a negative, insecure, and backward image of Iran to undermine the inspiring image of Iran in the minds of people around the world. Usually, tourism is purely viewed as a source of income, but interaction with the people of the regional countries, as well as countries that have historical or religious affinity with Iranians are the best way to deal with the long-term and costly project of Iranophobia.

Iran: A balance between competition and cooperation by the new government

Achieving the first economic, scientific and technological position in the region as outlined in the “outlook plan” and the general policies announced by the Supreme Leader is being analyzed by the Iran newspaper. The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on the three principles of “honor, wisdom and expediency. 
Accordingly, expanding bilateral and regional cooperation, avoiding tension in relations, and trying to free the region from the military presence of foreigners can be met through cooperation and interaction with neighbors. Achieving first place in the region not only will make the sanctions on Iran costly for the sanctioners, but also greatly increase the bargaining power in the negotiations to lift the sanctions. The regional doctrine is a clear path to what was proposed in the previous governments under the titles of "stronger region" and "neighborhood policy". However, these goals can be realized by creating internal motivations and seeking external benefits.
