TEHRAN PAPERS

The opposition is invalid in the eyes of the Iranian people

May 27, 2024 - 22:22

TEHRAN - In a note, the Iran newspaper pointed out the discredit of the opposition in the eye of the Iranian people and said: The false illusion of the anti-Iranian opposition has once again appeared with the epic of the Iranian people and the world's respect for the martyred president of the Islamic Republic.

This can be seen from the nervous reaction of the anti-revolution movement to the expression of sympathy and condolence of the heads of the countries regarding the martyrdom of our country's president. The Iranian opposition is angrier than ever. Recently, the employees of Zionist International TV criticized and expressed dissatisfaction with the expressions of sympathy and respect, especially from international organizations and even NATO, towards the president of Iran. They said: "It is a joke that we could not stop this global solidarity with Iran. We should have stopped world leaders from condoling and expressing sympathy with Iran. Why did the countries fly their flags at half-mast?! Why did NATO offer condolences?!" These are questions that not only the Persian employees of the Zionist regime but also the entire opposition movement neither have an answer for nor can accept.

Donya-e-Eqtesad: The threat of NATO expansion for Iran

In an analysis, Donya-e-Eqtesad discussed Biden's words about the expansion of NATO's actions in the Middle East and wrote: The thought of NATO expansion should be considered a threat to Iran. Iran believes that the expansion of NATO means the expansion of threats, and the role of the United States alongside the countries of the Persian Gulf creates a new form of hybrid threat. This event will lead to establishing the regional security structure through the actors who are considered among America's allies in the region. Another point is that collective security will have more widespread validity and effectiveness. Naturally, the military presence of extra-regional powers in the Middle East limits the freedom of action of other countries and increases the level of monitoring of Iran's military power at the regional level and political sensitivities towards Iran's behavior. Also, such a presence will cause the regional competitors of the Islamic Republic of Iran to have more motivation to take risks. 

Hamshahri: America has to interact with Iran

Hamshahri talked with Abdolreza Farjirad, an expert on geopolitical issues, and wrote about Iran-U.S. negotiations: Iran and the U.S. should negotiate with each other secretly. Whether we like it or not, America has interests in the region and Iran is also a regional power. Therefore, the two countries must interact so that tension and conflict in the region do not increase. Second, concessions are exchanged, which is common in diplomacy, and based on this exchange of concessions, the national and political interests of the two countries are provided to the best of their ability. America has a challenging election ahead, and Biden is looking for the tensions in the Middle East to be finished by the time of the election, or to be reduced to a point where it will not have much impact on the election. On the other hand, Iran is a regional power. America realized that it could not do anything without interaction with Iran. Therefore, America postponed the nuclear negotiations and JCPOA until after the elections. Iran and the United States have entered the next phase of negotiations, which is to reduce tension, and both countries have chosen the right way to proceed with secret negotiations in order to secure the interests of both sides by reducing tension.

Farahikhetgan: Biden was forced to confess

In an article, Farhikhtegan addressed Biden's confession about the operation of True Promise and said: After this operation, the West tried to make achievements by speaking for the Zionist regime, but they are forced to make confessions that they refused to express before. Recently, Biden said that 99% of the drones that Iran fired at Israel did not reach their targets with the help of American defense, otherwise this attack would have been devastating. In this speech, Biden tried to magnify America's power in this operation. According to the radio of the Zionist regime, the American defense systems fired 8 missiles from the sea to counter the Iranian ballistic missiles. Except for two missiles, the American defense system did not succeed in destroying most of the Iranian ballistic missiles and failed. Biden tried to show American power and hide the failure in an operation that cost more than a billion dollars for the United States and the Zionist regime. It should be noted that this attempt is related to the growth in demand for the purchase of weapons especially Iranian drones as Iranian drones are very efficient for many countries. And this is not pleasant for America.
