TEHRAN - Shargh devoted its main headline to the importance of the president's visit to Iraq and said: The president's visit to Iraq, as his first foreign trip, can definitely be a big step in the direction of regional diplomacy, especially since Iran's foreign policy has been caught in an undeniable deadlock in the past few years due the American disloyalty on the global stage.

The dynamism of regional diplomacy creates a prospect that Iran can make its path to global markets smoother through regional activities. In fact, the favorable game of diplomacy in the region can be considered as an alternative to global competition. Today, major countries in the region, as well as developed countries in the world, have intensified their diplomatic activities of the region. The timely visit of Masoud Pezeshkian to Iraq should be considered positive step in line with policy.

Siasat-e-Rooz: Undeniable facts

Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the hostile behavior of the Westerners and their attempt to undermine Iran's authority. It wrote: While the world is focused on the Gaza genocide and is pushing for an immediate end to the brutality of the Zionist regime, the West is looking for a pretext to deflect attention from the world’s main headache. These excuses include the recent moves by Germany, England, France, and the United States to impose sanctions and pressure on Iran under the bogus claim of Iran-Russia missile cooperation and claims that Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA are not sufficient. These behaviors take place while the Westerners are officially hiding some truths. They are adamant to acknowledge that coercive diplomacy has never made changes to Iran's regional and international policy. They also do not say that during 45 years of sanctions, Iran has been able to become a nuclear, military, technical, and scientific power in the region and the larger world, which even the West cannot deny. Their failure in isolating Iran cannot be hidden either. These are some of the facts that the West seeks to hide.

Iran: Irresponsible remarks about alleged weapons delivery to Russia 

In an article, the Iran newspaper addressed the irresponsible statements about the alleged delivery of Iranian weapons to Russia and said: Irresponsible statements and claims contrary to national security and interests have always been one of the main topics of the hostile media and a tool for providing excuses for Western countries to put sanctions pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran. By claiming that Iran has "sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia", the West was pursuing two goals: changing the balance in the battleground in the Ukraine war and also creating an excuse to impose more pressure on Iran. After new government took office in Iran, some (foreign-based) opposition media outlets highlighted this false claim again and Westerners abused it. 

Jam-e-Jam: Consolidation of Iran's strategy in the Caucasus geopolitics 

In an analysis, Jam-e-Jam dealt with the trip of Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to Russia to participate in the BRICS meeting. It wrote: At the meeting of the high-ranking security officials of the BRICS member countries, Ahmadian proposed to form a special security structure for BRICS under the title of "BRICS Security Commission". Ahmadian's proposal to form the BRICS Security Commission was innovative. It highlighted the need to pay attention to stability and security among the member states. Another important event that happened was a private meeting with the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. This meeting was important because Putin officially emphasized to Ahmadian that he wants to develop the North-South Corridor and support Iran's transport routes. Therefore, Putin's recent support can be considered a kind of consolidation of our country's strategy regarding the geopolitics of the Caucasus region, which was achieved by insistence on the principles of our country's foreign policy.
