Grossi\u2019s political maneuvering in Iran\u2019s nuclear file and his biased reports \u2014 which, the article says, paved the way for adversaries\u2019 excessive demands \u2014 are cited as evidence. A figure who played a role in pressuring the Iranian people, the article concludes, cannot now claim to rescue the UN from ineffectiveness. Ultimately, reforming the UN will not be achieved by replacing individuals who themselves have been part of war\u2011driven and unilateralist agendas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shargh: Ukraine\u2019s attack on an Iranian vessel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shargh dedicated its editorial to Ukraine\u2019s attack on an Iranian ship. According to the piece, while the United States halted its 13\u2011day campaign on Friday night, Ukraine\u2019s unexpected strike on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea on Saturday has introduced a new turning point in the Iran\u2013US conflict. There is no doubt that this incident has added a new and significant dimension to the war, and some observers describe it as another step toward horizontal escalation \u2014 or at least an expansion of the conflict\u2019s consequences. It remains unclear whether this event constitutes the opening of a new front in the war between Iran and the United States. What is clear so far is that Ukraine\u2019s action has linked aspects of the conflict in the Persian Gulf to the war in Eastern Europe. This new development in the Caspian Sea, set against the backdrop of previous actions against Iran, has drawn Ukraine more deeply into Middle East dynamics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Etemad: An opportunity to consolidate regional standing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an analysis, Etemad highlighted Iran\u2019s assertive posture in regional affairs. The article argues that Iran is navigating four major regional and global crises: Israel facing its deepest crisis of legitimacy and internal cohesion, the U.S.\u2013Saudi nuclear agreement, the maritime blockade as an economic\u2011psychological pressure tool, and the transition from a US -centric order toward multipolarity. Under such conditions, what can shape the future is not reactive or short\u2011term responses, but the design of a comprehensive strategy grounded in intelligence, patience, and full use of diplomatic, defensive, and economic capacities. The Islamic Republic of Iran is now in a position to use this turbulent moment as an opportunity to strengthen its regional standing and reduce strategic vulnerabilities. However, the article warns that serious risks lie ahead \u2014 risks that can only be managed through continuous monitoring, coordination among resistance fronts, and reinforcement of eastern alliances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sobh-e-No: Oil in the straits\u2019 squeeze<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sobh-e-No examined the oil crisis and the sharp decline in tanker traffic caused by recent conflicts. Oil is now caught in the \u201ctight squeeze of the straits,\u201d facing a deep crisis that has simultaneously affected two vital energy corridors and sent shockwaves through global markets. Conditions in the strategic Strait of Hormuz and Bab al\u2011Mandab have become highly unstable in recent weeks, with both witnessing a significant drop in tanker movement. At present, three major global oil chokepoints are under pressure. This time, the Strait of Hormuz is not the only route facing security risks. In the Black Sea, Ukrainian attacks on Russian ships and infrastructure have intensified, placing Russia\u2019s oil transit routes under serious threat. The three main global oil corridors \u2014 the Strait of Hormuz, Bab al\u2011Mandab, and Black Sea routes \u2014 are simultaneously endangered. Nearly half of the world\u2019s seaborne oil passes through these pathways, with the Strait of Hormuz alone accounting for more than 20 percent of global oil trade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vatan-e-Emrooz: The shock of precision strikes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vatan-e-Emrooz analyzed the rising quality of Iran\u2019s attacks on US bases in the region. The article states that the recent US war against Iran \u2014 and Iran\u2019s missile responses \u2014 was not a routine exchange of fire. Instead, the confrontation featured a shift in the precision and effectiveness of Iran\u2019s strikes on US infrastructure and military bases. Where Iran\u2019s past operations were often seen as demonstrations of deterrence or political messaging, many experts and analysts now argue that Iran\u2019s latest attacks targeted sensitive points with heightened accuracy, inflicting significant damage on US military systems hosted in Arab countries. Assessments by experts, American commanders, and even media close to the White House all emphasize that Iran\u2019s strikes were broader and more effective than initial estimates. They note that Iran\u2019s recent missile responses exceeded US expectations by a wide margin.<br \/>\n <br \/>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/528696\/Grossi-s-empty-posturing\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khorasan commented on recent remarks by Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who said: \u201cHow do we save the United Nations from ineffectiveness?\u201d The article argues that Grossi is attempting to present himself as a reformist savior, yet behind these diplomatic gestures lies a clear effort to position himself for the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10,13,11,34],"class_list":["post-37841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-iran","tag-politics","tag-tehran-papers","tag-u-s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
