TEHRAN - Shargh wrote in an analysis: In a situation where only 12 more days are left until the activation of the 30-day snapback period, based on the available data and the political actions of Iranian officials and the three European countries, it is difficult to imagine that there is a way to stop the snapback process and prevent the return of Security Council resolutions against Iran.

This is while in the current period, the snapback is the most important issue on the agenda of Iran's foreign policy and Iran's relations with the outside world. The Europeans' proposed solution to extend the snapback deadline contained three preconditions: Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, auditing the amount of enriched uranium, and Iran and the U.S. negotiate a new agreement. A positive and promising agreement between Iran and the Agency in Cairo could have paved the way for the realization of the first and second preconditions, but it later became clear that the timing of Iran, the Agency, and the three European countries did not match. Therefore, both because of Europe's three conditions and because of the shortage of opportunity, Europe apparently sees no other way than to activate the snapback.

Siasat-e-Rooz: Arab countries are not trustworthy

Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Arab countries in Qatar and wrote: This summit was held with the focus of examining regional developments, especially the recent aggression of the Zionist regime against Qatar, and the attendees, including Pezeshkian, expressed their views and strategies for achieving stability and lasting security in the region. Although in the summit, the regional Arab countries emphasized the need to support Palestine and confront the Zionist regime, and in a way showed their solidarity with the views of resistance countries such as Iran and Algeria, the final statement showed that these countries do not actually have a strategy to take practical action against the Zionist regime and its supporters. This performance reflects a bitter truth, namely that Iran practically cannot count on regional diplomacy and the Arab countries. Interactions with them should be at the same level as conventional diplomacy, and the only option remains the approach of maintaining the resistance front.

Hamshahri: Trump's defeat in the oil war with Iran

In a note, Hamshahri discussed Trump's defeat in the oil war with Iran. It wrote: Since he became president of the United States for the second time in the winter of last year, Donald Trump has once again put maximum pressure on the Iranian economy. In the first step, he issued an order to reduce Iranian oil exports, and in the past 9 months, the U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned hundreds of different companies under the pretext of cooperating to facilitate Iranian oil exports. The Trump administration's strategy was based on one principle: completely cutting off Iran's oil revenues to paralyze its economy and force Tehran to negotiate. However, a review of reports from Western institutions shows that during this period, that has been no change in Iran's oil exports, and the oil war against Iran has almost failed. Iran's oil exports have remained in the same level as last year, and we are no longer witnessing a sharp decline in oil revenues like in 2018.

Iran: European troika’s view of Iran-IAEA agreement

The Iran newspaper wrote: From the European troika’s point of view, the main issue centers around Iran’s commitments under the NPT and the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. The European troika does not have the impression that it will not activate the snapback mechanism simply because of the agreement between Iran and the IAEA. Another point that is relevant in relation to the European troika’s position is its serious reflection on the media. Rafael Grossi had emphasized that this agreement could prevent a war. Theoretically, this assessment is correct. If the agreement is finalized and implemented quickly, and Iran also enters into talks with the United States at the same time, there is a possibility of preventing the escalation of the crisis. However, one point that should not be ignored is the different view of the Europeans. They have announced from the very beginning that they have not considered any specific timetable for the implementation of the agreement. It is very important for Europeans to know about the status of Iran’s 60 percent enriched uranium. This is a matter of particular importance for Tehran, as Iran does not want to lose this card easily and is therefore seeking to prevent the snapback mechanism from returning. In contrast, the Europeans are trying to improve the current situation through diplomatic channels with Iran and the United States before the possible deadline for activating the snapback sanctions next week, and pave the way for a lasting agreement.
