TEHRAN PAPERS

US responsible for continued Israeli crimes

October 12, 2024 - 20:31

TEHRAN - In an analysis, Etemad pointed to the crimes of Israel with the American support and wrote: Now it is obvious to everyone that it is not just the occupying regime that is fighting the oppressed nations.

 Western countries, particularly the United States, are strategic supporters of Israel. They are the chief supplier of weapons to Israel. Israel would have suffered crushing blows in Operation True Promise I (in April) if there had been no air defense support from the Western countries. In Operation True Promise II, since other countries (Westerners) were not present to defend Israel and the technique and equipment were different the strikes were more effective. Therefore, America is the main factor in maintaining the continuation of the crimes of this fake regime. If America decides not to continue supporting, the end of the regime would be near. In the recent developments in the region, we tried to take reasonable measures through secret and open negotiations. Both strategic encounters and professional negotiations took place. What is important is maintaining the balance of power in the relations between the parties. If we are to enter strategic talks with America one day, it may be today.

Donya-e-Eqtesad: America under the pressure of Persian Gulf Arabs

In a note, Donya-e-Eqtesad discussed Israel's possible attack on Iran and Arab countries' concerns about it. It said: As the tensions between Iran and Israel are intensifying and concerns are growing over a large-scale war, three Persian Gulf sources told Reuters that the neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf are lobbying Washington to prevent Israel from attacking Iran's oil sites because they are worried that their oil facilities will come under fire from Tehran's allies if the conflict escalates. As part of their attempts to avoid being caught in the crossfire, Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are also refusing to let Israel fly over their airspace for any attack on Iran and have conveyed this to Washington, the three sources close to government circles said. Israel has promised Iran will pay for its missile attack on October 1 while Tehran has said any retaliation would be met with vast destruction, raising fears of a wider war in the region that could suck in the United States.

Jam-e-Jam: Diplomacy against war

In an article, Jam-e-Jam dealt with Foreign Minister Araghchi's diplomatic trips to regional countries. It wrote: The purpose of Araghchi's trip to regional countries, especially Saudi Arabia, is to consult on developments in the region and help stop Zionist regime’s crimes. Araghchi's trips to the regional countries are taking place in a situation where the fake regime of Israel is trying to depict Iran as the source of instability in the region and present its crimes as legitimate. On the other hand, Iran has repeatedly declared that it is fully prepared for a military confrontation with the Zionists in line with legitimate right to defend itself and its brothers in the Axis of Resistance, and welcomes any diplomatic mechanism and proposal to reduce tension. But Netanyahu needs more crimes in the region to stay in power and get political and economic support from Washington. In such a situation, the Muslim countries in the region should stop neglect and ignorance as soon as possible and join Iran's stabilizing plans to save their religious brothers from the current fatal situation.

Farhikhtegan: Ceasefire is the most pressing issue in the region

In a commentary, Farhikhtegan addressed the ceasefire plan and Iran's role in it. The paper said: The main purpose of the Iranian foreign minister's regional trips is to reach a ceasefire agreement to prevent the escalation of tensions in the region. In this framework, Saudi Arabia is considered an important destination because just before the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Saudi Arabia was in the process of normalizing relations with Israel. But the Al-Aqsa Strom and the pressure from Arab countries have postponed it. But now Saudi Arabia is worried about the increasing tensions in the region and has put a ceasefire plan on the table. Iran's role in this plan has a clear international message, proving Iran does not intend to increase regional tensions. Currently, the position of Arab countries is very important for the United States to agree on a ceasefire. Now the most serious idea is the initiative of the Gulf Plan, which has come to support the Palestinian National Authority. Of course, Israel has not accepted it. However, this issue is now very serious. For this reason, the position of countries like Saudi Arabia is very important.
