TEHRAN - In a note, Kayhan discussed the approach of the Islamic Republic to a possible war between Iran and Israel and wrote: The conflict between Iran and the Zionist regime is not just a conflict between two political entities in West Asia, and others cannot just watch it.

Based on this, necessary warnings were given to some countries in the region. Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, visited the capitals of 10 countries in the region in less than a month; and after the brilliant Operation True Promise II, he was trying to convey Iran's message regarding the new developments to the regional leaders and actors. By resorting to the levers of diplomacy in the region, Tehran has also given the necessary warnings in terms of military. The warning initiative and diplomacy together can create a new regional balance and block the way for the Americans to implement the new order.

Farhikhtegan: BRICS capacities for Iran

In an interview with Mehdi Seif Tabrizi, an expert on international issues, Farhikhtegan dealt with the BRICS capabilities for Iran. He said: Economically, this union is valuable for Iran. BRICS has created a bank. The important thing for BRICS, and the Russians emphasized it after the opening of the bank, is that it is not supposed to establish a new currency and be against the dollar; rather in the initial steps, the BRICS member countries are expected to trade in national currencies. Now, nearly 96% of the exchanges between Russia and Iran are done in national currencies. This is a great step to circumvent the sanctions imposed on Iran and counter financial limitations, like SWIFT. Exchange in national currencies with emerging powers such as India and China whose economies are flourishing, and the global south by capitalizing on the economic mechanisms of BRICS and its bank can make Iran's economy dynamic and bring prosperity for Iran's private companies.

Shargh: BRICS is an anti-Western alliance

In a commentary, Shargh addressed the BRICS summit hosted by Russia and said: Russia's goal in strengthening BRICS is to increase the financial independence of BRICS member countries and also to reduce geopolitical risks as much as possible, a goal that Iran also pursues. Diplomats of our country believe that Iran, as a member of the economic bloc, has a very good opportunity to evade unilateral sanctions and use the benefits of the BRICS Development Bank. On the other hand, the influence of BRICS on the American elections is such that Western analysts describe this anti-Western alliance as worrying. But they believe that this situation may change if Donald Trump becomes president and tries to exclude China from Western markets. Political experts evaluate the success of BRICS in implementing its banking mechanism. To what extent the member states resist the American pressure or can evade it with the banking mechanism defined in BRICS is key to evaluating the success or failure of BRICS.

Arman-e-Melli: How to end UAE greed over islands 

In an analysis, Arman-e-Melli examined the ownership claim of the UAE on the three Iranian islands. The paper said: The claims of the UAE on the three Iranian islands have been there for a long time, but this claim has been repeated more frequently recently. To counter the UAE's claims, Iran should put economic and agricultural development projects, strengthening military capabilities, and most importantly, active diplomacy on the agenda. With these policies, Iran can solidify its economic and security position in these three islands and adopt a stronger position against foreign claims. Also, the government can turn these islands into regional hubs with sound policies. To realize it, it is possible to establish free trade zones in these islands, develop fisheries and aquaculture industry, improve security and strengthen military structures in the three islands, as well as establish military bases to help stabilize Iran's sovereignty over the islands.
