In a commentary, Resalat talked about the normalization of relations with the Zionist regime. It wrote: According to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the usurping Zionist regime is gradually perishing. He also compared states going for the normalization of ties with Israel to those betting on a losing horse.

Today, the occupying regime of Al-Quds is being controlled by the most unstable government in its lifetime. Today, American think tanks, with the support of political and military strategists, are busy calculating the continuation of the struggle against the Iranian nation and the nations of the region, especially the axis of resistance in the region. Repeated failed sabotage attacks, the defeat of separatists, the despair of those seeking sanctions, the retreat of the White House, the acceleration of multilateralism and the fall of the unipolar system, and the world community freeing itself from the tight grasp of Washington are all telling of the fact that any potential normalization deal with Israel is doomed to fail and that seeking ties with the Zionist regime is a political gamble. The kind of gamble that might bring about the fall of governments participating in it. Governments and nations must realize that the usurping Zionist regime is going away as Ehud Barak once said "Israel is being destroyed from within."

Kayhan: We do not pay ransom, but the channel of diplomacy is open

Kayhan analyzed the contradictory signals sent to Iran by Washington and wrote: The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects direct negotiations considering the new sanctions and the illegal seizure of two Iranian oil tankers in the waters of the Persian Gulf. However, Iran has officially confirmed its willingness to continue negotiations. Currently, keeping the diplomatic channel open with America is one of the main topics in Iran's political scene. There is no official or unofficial agreement to increase Iran's oil exports, and on the contrary, the Biden government has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Iran’s oil and other exports and has attempted to illegally unload a tanker carrying Iranian oil. In addition, the officials of the Biden government have repeatedly emphasized that they have not suspended any sanctions imposed on Iran. Iran has returned to the stage of international diplomacy and is expanding its diplomatic maneuvers in the form of numerous agreements and treaties. It seems to not take into consideration the agreement with Washington, which the U.S. ended up withdrawing from, in its flurry of diplomacy. 

Iran: Tehran is a consultation center for solving the Caucasus crisis

In a note, the Iran newspaper addressed the developments in the Caucasus and Iran's role in creating balance in the region. It said: Iran has been pushing for a diplomatic solution in the Caucasus region within the framework of the 3+3 negotiations. In addition, it has also been holding bilateral talks with both Armenia and Azerbaijan regarding the developments in the caucuses, sending warnings to the warring parties through several extensive military maneuvers, and tried out a number of other political trends to rein in the conflict. The current and future approach of the Islamic Republic in the Karabakh conflict is to influence regional equations, maintain the existing situation at the borders, emphasize the need to maintain peace and stability and resort to peaceful solutions and negotiations to resolve the conflict. Meanwhile, actors such as the Zionist regime and the United States are at the opposite end of the "3+3" format and are ready to increase their support for Baku so they can keep the tensions up and prepare to create a new crisis at any given moment. Iranian officials are going to hold a meeting in Tehran to reach a consensus on how they should resolve the issues plaguing the Caucasus. 

Shargh: US seeking to normalize Arab ties with Israel to confront Iran

In an article, Shargh addressed the claims of a senior American official regarding efforts to normalize Saudi Arabia's relations with the Zionist regime. The paper said: Vedant Patel, the State Department principal deputy spokesman, in a press conference on Tuesday evening accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of carrying out "destabilizing and evil activities" in the West Asian region. According to the website of the U.S. Department of State, Patel said that the bilateral relations of the U.S. with the countries seeking to normalize ties with Israel are important, as all these states can help stand against Iran’s actions in West Asia which he referred to as “malicious” and “destabilizer”. The American diplomat believes that Iran's military cooperation with Russia and the alleged use of Iran's military equipment in the Ukraine war could lead to further actions by Tehran which will end up hurting the interests of the United States in the region. Therefore, Washington must find a way to obstruct Iran’s relations with both Arab countries and Russia, in order to stop Iran from disseminating its growing influence across West Asia and potentially other regions.
