Sobh-e-No, in an interview with Abolfazl Zohrevand, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Parliament, examined the strategic dimension of the US conflict with Iran.  According to Zohrevand, from a strategic perspective, these developments show that the Americans have lacked a precise military strategy.

They misjudged the battlefield with Iran — as even some American media have acknowledged — treating it as a simple and insignificant scenario. In reality, they had not made even the smallest accurate assessment of the capabilities and conditions of the opposing side and lacked a clear strategy for confrontation with Iran. At present, the United States is practically trapped in the quagmire of the Strait of Hormuz and the regional situation; it has neither an escape route nor a clear outlook for exiting this predicament. In other words, the continuation of this trend should be regarded as a defeat for the United States, and the only way out of this situation is to admit its mistake, offer an unconditional apology, accept responsibility for the attack on Iran, and pay compensation.

Iran: The path for exporting our country’s black gold has opened further

The Iran newspaper, in an analysis, addressed India’s oil purchase from Iran and wrote: After years of unprecedented restrictions and pressure on Iran’s energy exports by the United States, an important development is now taking shape. India, one of the world’s largest energy consumers, has made its first purchase of oil and petroleum products from Iran after nearly seven years. This development is not merely an oil transaction; it may mark the beginning of a new trend and signal Iran’s gradual return to the official sphere of energy trade, as well as a significant breach in the structure of sanctions. Such a scenario, on a macro level, can be interpreted as a strategic setback for the US maximum pressure policy, whose goal was not only to reduce Iran’s oil sales but to completely cut off Iran’s access to the revenues derived from it. International experts’ analyses indicate that this development could significantly increase Iran’s oil income in the future.

Khorasan: Trump, Israel, and the monarchists were defeated

Khorasan, quoting political activist Sadegh Zibakalam, examined the issue of Iran and today’s conflict.  According to Zibakalam, the first surprising point was that none of the Iranian people — contrary to what those actors expected — came into the streets in a way that could be interpreted as a blow to the system. The second point that shocked the United States was Iran’s military resilience during these six weeks. The third issue, which contradicted the assumptions of Tel Aviv and Washington, was that they did not expect Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz. Washington and Europe believed that Iran would not attack regional countries — which turned out not to be the case — and these four points have caused global astonishment and surprise.

Donya‑e‑Eqtesad: Buying time through a peace agreement?

While the threats from Trump and Netanyahu against Iran have continued and reached unprecedented levels, diplomatic efforts to create a pause leading to an agreement between the involved parties seem to have taken on a new shape, and proposals for de‑escalation have been raised. However, existing evidence indicates that the provisions of this agreement resemble a strategy of regrouping rather than a permanent solution to the current disputes. Analysts believe that the two‑stage proposal for a 45‑day ceasefire by the United States and Europe, with Pakistan’s mediation, is more like a tactical maneuver by the Western side to manage the crisis and buy time, so that Iran’s main deterrent, namely control over the Strait of Hormuz, is removed from the equation. Tehran has rejected any temporary ceasefire and believes that a temporary ceasefire is essentially a license for renewed war against Iran.

Hamshahri: Iran’s strategic military blows to the US and Israel

Hamshahri examined the many achievements and successes that have increased the wave of admissions regarding America’s defeat. Although the Washington–Tel Aviv axis tries, through rhetoric and media manipulation, to present itself as victorious in the confrontation with Iran, the reality is that today many Western and international experts acknowledge that the Islamic Republic, by imposing its own strategies on the opposing sides, has placed Trump and Netanyahu in a difficult position and forced them to search for a way out of the current situation. Iran’s economic opportunities, strategic military strikes, strengthened national cohesion, US retreats, and regional awakening — including the demand for the expulsion of the United States — are among the achievements of this conflict that the world has recognized.
