Iran will not give in

October 13, 2024 - 21:6

TEHRAN - Siasat-e-Rooz devoted its editorial to the West’s position against Iran. It said: After Operation True Promise II, thinkable moves have been propounded about Iran by the United States and some European countries, especially the United Kingdom.

They start from a package of new sanctions to the war against Iran's allies in the region and the Iranophobia approach in the media. There are two viewpoints. The first one is that the Western countries, with the lessons they have learned from Operations True Promise I and II, are looking to manage the tension between Iran and the Zionist regime to prevent the expansion of the war in the region. The second viewpoint is that by depicting Iran as a security threat to the region and the larger world, Westerners are promoting hostile goals. Regardless of which of these scenarios is the goal of the Westerners, it will not change Iran's reaction. As in the past, Tehran uses all its diplomatic capacities to establish a cease-fire in Gaza and Lebanon and security in the wider region. Iran has also an active presence in the battleground, and along with its decisive and comprehensive support for the resistance, it will give a decisive response to any threat and will not submit to Western pressure and blackmail.

Etemad: A successful mission

In an interview with former diplomat Amir Mousavi, Etemad dealt with the visit of Foreign Minister Araghchi to Riyadh. He said: Mr. Araghchi's interesting action in this regard was that he tried to remind that regardless of the differences, if Riyadh works in harmony with Tehran to achieve peace, it will gain more benefits. Israel is trying to impose the idea on the Persian Gulf (Arab) countries that if the resistance movement in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran are weakened, this group of actors will be able to expand their domain of power. Following the trip, Araghchi was probably able to convey the message that if Israel's recent actions extend and reach Iran, then the entire region will be in crisis. Given that Tehran and Riyadh have established a good relationship, the Islamic Republic of Iran can return peace to the region through negotiations. The Persian Gulf kingdoms need to know the extent of Iran's military strength and deterrence. Some countries should not have the idea that they will be safe if they cross the red lines in the current inflammatory situation.

Hamshahri: America once again requests Iran to show self-restraint

In an article, Hamshahri wrote about America's request from Iran to exercise self-restraint. It said: Amid a meeting of the security cabinet of the Israeli regime to vote on how to respond to the recent IRGC missile attacks on the heart of the occupied territories, the officials of the Biden government expressed their irritation at the lack of coordination between the Israeli regime and the United States. American officials who do not take any concrete step to stop supporting the Israeli regime have asked Iran to show self-restraint. This is not the first time that Washington has made such a request. Previously, following Israel's terrorist act in martyring Ismail Haniyeh, America also asked Iran to be self-restraint. On the other hand, informed sources have declared to Washington and Tehran that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar will not allow the Israeli regime to use their airspace to attack Iran. However, Washington is worried because it does not know what Iran will do. The next response of the Islamic Republic depends on the extent and range of the possible action of the Israeli regime.

Kayhan: Admitting Iran's power

Kayhan dedicated its editorial to the admission of the power of Iran by Netanyahu and said: Today we see the Zionist regime in a situation that despite committing unspeakable crimes against the people of Lebanon and Gaza, it has not been able to achieve its goals, and we are just now realizing how the military advisers of the Islamic Republic were able to support the resistance front in Palestine, Lebanon and the oppressed people of this region. Today is the time to acknowledge the strength of Iran and the resistance front. Netanyahu's recently revealed conversations in a private meeting with the regime’s military and intelligence members are indicative of the fact that the Zionist enemy is acknowledging its fake power. To respond to Iran, Netanyahu said, we must consider two issues: First, the response must be at a level that Iran does not attack again. Second, the attack should be magnified in the media to make a media impact. Now that the Zionist enemy admits the authority and strength of Iran and the resistance front in general, it is good for others to admit that they have been defeated by the resistance front.
