Blade of sanctions becoming duller day by day
TEHRAN, June 1 (MNA) -- After months of negotiation between Iran and the members of the 5+1 group (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany), it seems that the points of divergence have gone beyond the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.
By pursuing the extremist policies of the Western powers, the 5+1 group is trying to isolate Iran and give the impression that the issue is a real crisis.
The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the Western powers are playing the nuclear card to divert attention from the real global crisis. And Iran can play a key role in dealing with the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, where popular uprisings are being harshly repressed. But the wall of mistrust between Iran and the West has created many problems in this regard.
The last round of talks between Iran and the 5+1 group ended in a stalemate and Iran was threatened with a new series of sanctions by the West. But the new developments in the Arab world and the emergence of new anti-Western sentiments in the region put the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program on the back burner for a time.
Now the West is again trying to create a crisis out of Iran’s nuclear issue, which has raised suspicions on the Iranian side. Iran is very skeptical about the policies and stances of the 5+1 group and believes they are a part of the psychological operations being conducted against the country by the Western media.
However, there is no clear consensus about the new round of sanctions against Iran. Despite a UN Security Council resolution, more than 120 countries are not interested in participating in this process and it is only limited to a few Western countries.
Since coming to office, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano has published reports that are completely politicized. His latest report was based on a number of points that are pure speculation in order to create more crises about the Iranian nuclear program.
The current situation in the Middle East and North Africa region, in which anti-Zionist sentiments have intensified, will be another decisive factor in Iran’s future interactions with Western governments. Meanwhile, the opening of the Rafah border crossing and other anti-Israeli policies adopted by Egypt can strengthen the strategic depth of Iran’s diplomacy vis-à-vis Western governments.
Iran does not welcome sanctions and prefers diplomacy. The West is also compelled to take the path of diplomacy because it has no other way forward. In addition, Iran is not very worried about these sanctions because it is finding new ways to deal with them. The blade of sanctions is becoming duller day by day, and Iran is making progress in its nuclear program.
