TEHRAN - Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the American elections and its impact on Iran and wrote: These days the world is focused on the genocide and crimes of the Zionists in Gaza and the failures of this regime against the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement.

However, some media and political circles are determined to introduce today's American elections as an important development in the world, which will also affect Iran. Every American government supports and partners with Israel in its crimes and considers Iran its biggest enemy. Therefore, it can be well understood that Harris or Trump does not make any difference for Iran, and their nature is the same, especially since every person who is in the White House is obliged to advance the national security strategy of the United States. Based on this approach, Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea are characterized as strategic threats to the U.S. Therefore, it is necessary to take steps to rely on internal assets, strengthen the resistance front, and promote cooperation with the neighbors and countries member to the Shanghai and BRICS blocs.

Sazandegi: Conditions ripe to put political and diplomatic pressure on Israel 

In a commentary, Sazandegi discussed Iran's foreign policy approach. It wrote: Some analysts believe the best and most desirable approach in foreign policy in the current situation is the approach that has been on the agenda since the beginning of the 14th (sitting) government. It should be noted that today Israel's status has been greatly degraded in Western public opinion. Even today, we see that pure support for Israel has become a political and moral costs for Western politicians. In the international arena, the Israeli regime has faced unprecedented isolation and challenges and is officially accused of genocide, and its leaders are on the brink of facing criminal prosecution by the International Criminal Court. This is a new situation that the Iranian government can take advantage of politically and diplomatically. The United Nations General Assembly meetings in the coming weeks are a good opportunity to take necessary measures in confronting Israel and trying to build a consensus against it.

Etemad: What will be the prospect of Iran-U.S. relations?

In an interview with political activist Mohammad Ali Abtahi, Etemad discussed the issue of Iran-U.S. relations. Abtahi said: Iran can establish a special relationship with the new American government to end regional tensions, lift sanctions, and ensure national interests. But there are two views regarding the relationship between Iran and the United States; one view says that Iran, like other countries, should establish a relationship with America to convey its words, demands, and views, and reduce threats by the U.S. in line with its national interests. 
There is another perspective that reflects the views of the Leader.  It says no positive point has been noticed in dealing with the U.S. On the contrary, it says, Iran has come under more pressure from the U.S., Israel and the West.  Between these two perspectives, the view approved by the Leader is more feasible. For this reason, it is not expected that during the election of any of the two American presidential candidates, a fundamental change take place in the relations between Iran and the United States, which will at least lead to a bilateral relationship. Establishing a relationship with the United States requires a strategic change in Iran's diplomatic doctrine, and there is no sign of this change yet.

Hamshahri: Both Harris and Trump seeking to curb Iran's power

In an interview with Hamidreza Gholamzadeh, an expert on American issues, Hamshahri discussed the impact of American election results on the situation in the region, Iran, and the Gaza-Lebanon war. He said: In the issue of Iran, both the Democratic and Republican candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, are seeking to curb the power of Iran. Trump will adopt a transactional approach toward Iran. His only concern is that Iran must not have nuclear weapons. There are two months left until the establishment of the new American government. If during this time our defense doctrine changes and we go towards nuclear weapons, the story will be different. If we continue this current policy, Trump will not have a serious challenge with us and may think of an agreement with Iran. However, Kamala Harris’s approach is different from Trump's and tries to curb Iran's power by going ahead with the Abraham Accords while maintaining the hope of negotiation (with Iran).
