An opportunity to bypass sanctions

October 22, 2024 - 22:21

TEHRAN - In a note, Kayhan dealt with Iran's official attendance at the BRICS summit in Russia’s Kazan and wrote: This attendance has created important opportunities for economic prosperity and evading sanctions.

Although officials from Iran have participated the meetings of this group before, our country will attend the BRICS summit as an official member for the first time. The formalization of Iran's membership in this group is one of the most important achievements of the 13th (Raisi) government in the framework of multilateralism policy. By joining the BRICS countries and by facilitating trade and exports, Iran is moving towards cross-border markets, and its participation in the 16th BRICS summit is in this direction. It should be noted that the policy of multilateralism and strong presence in global agreements, which started by the 13th government, has provided the government with great opportunities to both neutralize the sanctions and put the country on the path of progress without depending on a few Western countries. It is appropriate for the 14th (sitting) government to continue the same path with strength so that the benefits of such important achievements can be felt in the economy, as well as people's livelihoods as soon as possible.

Etemad: Conflict in the region has reached a critical point

In an analysis, Etemad discussed the ongoing Israeli war in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and said: The intensification of conflicts in the region over the past year has become a critical turning point that not only threatens the stability of the Middle East (West Asia) and has made the risk of an all-out war possible, but it can also have extensive consequences for global security. At the core of these tensions, the claim of Israel's possible attack on Iran has become an important and interesting case in political and media circles. The current situation in the Middle East is extremely challenging, and if Israel decides to expand the scope of the conflict with a possible attack on Iranian infrastructure facilities, this action can create a major crisis in the region that will have many consequences. According to Eurasia Review, Iran's possible response will be missile attacks, threats to maritime security, and cyber-attacks. It added that these levers are on Iran's list of possible responses.


Ettelaat:  True Promise III is probably beyond missile response

Hossein Ajorlou, an expert on West Asia issues, in an interview with Ettelaat discussed the possible war between Iran and Israel. He said: Iran will have more options after (Operation) True Promise II. The True Promise III can be other than missile response. Most likely, Israel will resort to three ways. 1: Military action that will be very limited due to the long distance between Iran and Israel. 2: cyber-attacks. 3: purposeful assassinations or dirty war and attack on Iran's infrastructure facilities. The Islamic Republic has shown in the True Promise I and II operations that if it feels that a blow will change the equation, it will respond. The information that Iran has about the conditions in Israel can provide the Islamic Republic with various tools to do a great blow to the Zionist regime. If the Zionist regime’s response to Operation True Promise II be at a level that the Islamic Republic wants to respond to, Iran's response will definitely be stronger.

Javan: Netanyahu's "game of chicken" in West Asia

The events of the past weeks have put the West Asia region in a sensitive and complicated situation. Some analysts say that America's purpose in using the B-2 bomber against Yemen's Ansarullah was to send a message to Iran that Washington might act in support of the Zionist regime against Iran. It seems that these threats are a kind of war of will, whose aim is to change equations in the region in favor of the Zionist regime without entering into a large-scale war and suffering vital damages. The strategy of the U.S. and especially the Zionist regime in resorting to recent threats can be understood in terms of the "game of chicken". The goal of the Zionist regime in resorting to the game of chicken is to overcome the shock of October 7 in the first place and to push the enemies back in the second place. Iran must decisively hit the Zionist regime and its interests to strengthen the deterrence of our country and defend the security of the country and the Axis of Resistance.
