TEHRAN- Shargh analyzed the current status of interactions between Iran and the United States. According to the newspaper, it appears that, alongside the widespread coverage of recent protests in Iran in international media and the attention of governments to developments in Iran, we are noticing a slight shift in the diplomatic arena.

If properly followed, this shift could open a new window. The reality is that over the past two or three years, major historical events have occurred in the region and the world that have not strengthened Iran's position or increased its leverage. Now, the perception of the U.S. and Israel is that they are in a stronger position and can make more demands. However, the way to counter these excessive demands is not to retreat from negotiations. In diplomatic terms, Negotiations can be applied to any matter; what matters is reaching an agreement. Iran can accept comprehensive, direct, and unconditional negotiations, but if the other side acts unfairly, it can withdraw from the talks. Moreover, we know that the official positions of countries are never their final and definitive stances.

Areman Melli: Major reforms needed

Gholamreza Ansari, a political expert and one of the founders of the United Iranian Nation Party, says the Pezeshkian government should undertake major reforms. In an interview with Arman Melli, Ansari says, “The future of the government depends above all on its ability to rebuild the coalition with supporters and the country’s elites, to reform its executive approach, to appoint brave, competent, and capable managers, and to reduce tensions in foreign policy. On the other hand, the country requires a major and fundamental surgery, and if the president has the courage to carry out these essential reforms, the majority of the protesting people will join in support. In such circumstances, neither domestic agitators nor the foreign opposition will be able to disrupt the nation’s security. I believe that before the opportunity is lost, the internal remedy must be put into practice.”  He also says the Pezeshkian government, which came to power with the support of reformists and moderates, instead of building consensus with the people and its own supporters, formed a large part of the administration in alignment with its rivals and minimal opponents. After one year and a few months, the outcome of this approach has been an inability to organize affairs and to reduce tensions in foreign relations. From the perspective of political science, the stability or collapse of governments depends on three main variables: first, the cohesion of the coalition supporting the government; second, the capacity for governance and solving public issues; and third, the balance of power between formal and informal institutions. I believe that in the case of Pezeshkian’s government, signs of fragility can be observed at all three levels, though this does not necessarily mean the government will collapse.”

Sobh-e-No: National unity  

Sobh-e-No discussed the resilience of the people and national unity in the face of the enemy. According to the newspaper, the recent developments in the Islamic Republic over the past three weeks, following the June 12-day war and the targeting of over a thousand innocent people by American-Zionist agents, have revealed a new phase in the United States’ approach toward free nations of the world. In such conditions, "unity and national cohesion" is the only hard and soft option to push back and punish the enemy's strategy; thus, any approach or action that weakens the unparalleled unity of the people is playing into the enemy's hands. As Western thinkers and politicians have repeatedly stated, manipulating information and public opinion is the most important part of hard and soft attacks on any nation. In this situation, where Western-Zionist media cartels are spreading lies to undermine public opinion about Iran, the truth about Iran must be introduced to the world by discrediting America and Israel's media agents. Now, the entire world, especially the enemies, must bow and respect the will of the Iranian people.

Javan: A chaotic situation will pave the way for Iran’s fragmentation 

Javan addressed the main goal of the enemy in an article, quoting Hamidreza Jalaeipour, a pro-reform sociologist who says: The line of chaos is not merely the line of opposition to the Islamic Republic, but rather the line of fragmenting the country. If intellectuals are critical of the Islamic Republic, they should express their criticisms; the most effective approach in this regard is reform. At the same time, we must understand what the enemy is after. In his opinion, the line of chaos is that they want to break the country apart. A big game has begun in the world. In this big game, the U.S. is trying to counter China in some way and does not want to get involved in the Middle East, and it has entrusted this task to Israel, using American technology. Israel’s strategy is regional supremacy, and it does not like a strong Iran, nor does it have any interest in a strong Turkey. Even a strong Saudi Arabia is not desired. We must pay attention in this context to what misfortune will befall Iran in this big game and protect our country more than ever before. Our sorrow over the country’s conditions should not affect our defense of Iran.
