TEHRAN PAPERS

Vague dream about a trip to New York

September 23, 2024 - 21:37

TEHRAN - In a note, Kayhan discussed President Pezeshkian's visit to New York for the annual UN meeting and the hope of the reformists from the trip.

It wrote: The reformist media view the trip as an important achievement. It must be said that the term of the Biden administration is coming to an end and possible negotiation and agreement with such a government, whose primary agenda is not the nuclear agreement (JCPOA), produce no result. The next American government will be established less than three months after the election, so agreements with them are nothing more than an illusion. Also, a new agreement with the U.S. and the West makes it convenient for the West, which has not fulfilled its commitments. The reformist media show that the West-leaning radicals have not learned any lessons from the bitter story of the JCPOA and the joint crimes of the U.S. and Israel in the region, and they consider the JCPOA as a salvation. The positions of these media show that they have no objection to the violation of the JCPOA agreement and the betrayals and crimes of the United States. They only expect the Iranian side to neglect its rights!

Iran: Tehran is the messenger of peace and stability

In an analysis, the Iran newspaper dealt with the importance of Pezeshkian's trip to New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly. It wrote: For Iran, as a country with a special position in West Asia and the world, attending this global meeting is of double importance. In recent years, Islamic Iran has coped with various challenges in the face of international pressure and economic sanctions. Enemies have used every opportunity to promote "Iranophobia" to block or limit the path of formation and deepening of our country's relations with other countries and nations. In addition to the President's speech at the UN, bilateral and multilateral meetings with other world leaders are also very important, which can serve as the basis for strengthening our country's diplomatic relations with other countries. Emphasizing concepts such as interaction, international cooperation, sustainable development, and peaceful resolution of conflicts, can help strengthen the position of our country in the world and provide a suitable and favorable platform for promoting our country's national interests.

Etemad: FATF and new government

In a commentary, Etemad wrote about the FATF and how Iran can deal with it: Regarding internal concerns about Iran's support for liberation movements, it should be said that Iran can join the two conventions of Palermo and the fight against the financing of terrorism by declaring the right to statement and a reservation, provided that the main purpose of the conventions is not overshadowed. Iran can make a reservation regarding Article 24 of the Convention and state that in the case of a dispute, it does not intend to refer the case to the International Court of Justice, as Oman, Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have also done. The point that should be kept in mind is that at the international level, there is still no single agreement on the definition of terrorism among countries, and the approach of countries in identifying which group is a terrorist group and which is a liberating group is different. Many countries have joined these conventions by applying the reservation. Finally, it should be noted that at the level of the United Nations, groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah are not recognized as terrorist groups.

Javan: Continuation of conflict at strategic level

Javan dedicated its editorial to the strategy of the Axis of Resistance against the Zionist regime and said: The White House had the illusion that with the martyrdom of General Soleimani, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s plan to advance its regional policies would be slowed down or even stopped. But practically, the story turned out differently. The armed strength of the resistance in Gaza increased, the invasion against Yemen under a coalition resulted in a disgraceful failure, the asymmetric naval power of the resistance emerged in the strategic oceans and straits, and finally the Iraqi resistance groups became an influential transnational and regional actor. The climax of this deep transformation can be seen in the surprising “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm", which is considered a major and irreparable intelligence failure for the military and security structure of the Zionist regime. At the strategic level, the issue of the increasing successes of the Axis of Resistance and the successive failures of the strategies of America and the Zionist regime makes the situation clear. In fact, the Zionists may have taken measures at the tactical level, but at the strategic level, they still could not turn the balance in their favor. It is logical for the resistance to strike Israel tactically, when necessary, but to insist on its strategic approach.
