Defusing tensions comes first

August 28, 2024 - 22:42

TEHRAN - In an analysis of the 14th government's policy on the JCPOA, Etemad wrote: Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA did not bring any change in the international conditions for Iran.

Also, geopolitical and political changes such as the war between Russia and Ukraine did not affect the JCPOA to influence its revival, but the only element is the need to modify the JCPOA in the technical part and increase the percentage of Iran's enrichment and the nuclear breakout time. If it is the will of both sides, the JCPOA should be updated based on Iran's current nuclear capacity, and the U.S. should return to the JCPOA by giving concessions, including the lifting of sanctions. Because Iran and America's problem is not only sanctions! Sanctions are the leverage of America's pressure on Iran, and they face a wide range of other political and geopolitical problems, especially the activities of resistance groups in supporting the people of Gaza and confronting Israel and America. These factors can make any agreement that is not stable fail. Therefore, the 14th government after the revival of JCPOA needs a new framework that starts with freezing the tensions with America and leads to the management and reduction of tensions. Apart from foreign policy, from the point of view of the American domestic policy, regardless of who is the president and which party is in office, it is not possible to remove the sanctions without removing the tensions.

Hemshahri: The importance of presence

In a note, Hamshahri discussed the visit of Qatar's Foreign Minister to Iran and said: On Monday, Tehran hosted Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. This trip is considered important from various regional, political, and economic aspects. Qatar's Foreign Minister's consultations with senior Iranian officials are taking place in the context of the continuing evils of the Zionist regime and increasing tensions in West Asia. Regional and international analysts believe that Iran's response to the assassination of martyr Haniyeh in Tehran, on the one hand, and the status of the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, on the other hand, have doubled the importance of Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani's presence in Tehran. Regional observers believe that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar had multifaceted consultations in Tehran. Bilateral relationS, the latest status of the ceasefire negotiations and Iran's response to the recent terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv were among the main topics that are said to be discussed during Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani's consultations in Tehran. Now, however, it seems that in addition to bilateral issues, Qatar is playing a new role in order to prevent the increasing tension in the region, especially in recent days.

Ham Mihan: An important step to build trust?!

In an analysis, Ham Mihan dealt with the relations between Iran and Russia and Iran's future policy towards Europe. The paper said: With the intensification of the Western pressure on Russia on the Ukraine front and the increase of the pressure on Iran in the Middle East, the chance of Iran and Russia getting closer to each other increases. Recent developments in Russia's Western front are taking place in a situation where the new government in Iran wants to restore relations with Europe and America. Masoud Pezeshkian and his statesmen know that any evidence of selling Iranian weapons to Russia for use in the Ukraine war will once again challenge the plan to restore relations with the West. To improve relations with Europe and America, Iran has to provide proof and guarantees to the Western countries that from now on, the transfer of drones and ballistic missiles to Russia will not be done. Iran's assurance of not sending ballistic missiles to Russia can be an important trust-building step for Iran.

Iran: England's contradictory procedure

In a commentary, the Iran newspaper discussed the double and contradictory behavior of England. It wrote: British prisons are full of protesters of the recent demonstrations in this country. In the mass arrests of protesters in England, the prisons of this country do not have empty capacity. British media said arrests are likely to reduce as the unrest subsides, but the investigation will continue for months as officers are identifying the social media accounts of perpetrators and will trace the masked rioters through hours of CCTV moments before the cover-up. England's forceful treatment of protesters is while the government of this country, during the 2022 unrest in Iran, on several occasions introduced the rioters as libertarians and accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of anti-human rights actions due to its handling of the riots. Also, this support went to the point where the British government, along with France, Germany, and America, demanded new and more sanctions against our country.
