The continuation of past policies will be detrimental to Trump
TEHRAN - In a note, Jam-e-Jam discussed the behavior of Donald Trump's second administration.
It wrote: In the first round of his presidency (from 20172021), due to his unfamiliarity with the serious responsibility and considering his personality, which was mostly unpredictable, Trump pursued positions that we might see as a serious difference in his performance in the second round. If the Americans intend to confront the Islamic Republic and continue their past behavior, according to the experiences of the past four decades, it is quite clear that they will not succeed to achieve their goal. It must be borne in mind that conflicts and tensions just cause many problems for the world economy. It seems that Trump, given his thoughts, is more focused on causing tension inside Iran, and accordingly, media networks that mainly launch negative propaganda campaigns against the Islamic Republic are focusing more on the internal issues of our country these days. However, the criterion for Iran will be the official behavior of the new American administration (which will be inaugurated on January 20), and then it will be possible to judge what should be the reaction. They know that an approach like the past will not have an effect and will make us more determined to pursue our goals, and it is not in their interest to continue hostile policies towards our country.
Hamshahri: A miscalculation in dealing with America
Hamshahri wrote some people think that if we congratulate Trump on his presidency, negotiations will be easy and simple, and the problems in Iran-U.S. relations can be solved. A look at the reaction of America in different years and during the presidency of the Democrats and Republicans shows that the Americans never took an explicit and official position regarding the election of the presidents in Iran, even during the period when an Iranian president gave the green light to establish relations with the U.S. Basically, Iran and the U.S. don’t congratulate election of new presidents in each country. Therefore, the suggestion by some reformist and moderate figures that Iran should establish diplomatic relations with the U.S. by congratulating the U.S. president is completely worthless and even looking at the reality of the matter, it can put Iran in a weak position.
Siasat-e-Rooz: The misconception of West-leaning figures
Siasat-e-Rooz devoted its editorial to miscalculations by some pro-West figures regarding interaction with the United States. The paper said: During the Biden era, Europe suffered from the interactions of the White House, and maintaining the unilateralism of the United States was costly for Europe, and now, in the era of Trump, Europe does not have the necessary political power, as it does not have the components of economic and security independence. Based on this, the gap between Europe and the United States during the Trump era and using it for Iran's goals and interests is an illusion that originates from the mentality of some West-leaning figures and does not bring any achievements. The truth is that Europe in the Trump era will be obedient to the United States, as it was in the Biden era because it has practically lost its economic and security power and has no choice but to surrender to Washington. Therefore, the wrong understanding of the relations between Trump and Europe should be abandoned today, and steps should be taken by economic, political, cultural, social, and military bodies to impose another defeat on the global domination system.
Donya-e-Eqtesad: The necessity to reveal lies of the enemies
In a commentary, Donya-e-Eqtesad addressed the weakness of our media in publishing news related to important events or issues. It said: Two weeks after Israel's aggression against Iran, foreign media are still exaggerating Israel's attack, and unfortunately, in terms of media, they do not receive an equal response from Iranian sources. For years, the West, with the help of its mainstream media, has been imposing narratives of wars and operations on the opponents and even the world. Israel's attack is never underestimated, but the enemy's attacks were strategically useless and tactically ineffective and can never be compared with Iran's heavy attack on the Nevatim airbase. Let's know that the media has no less power than the military power. The West, especially America, has been using its media for military purposes for years. Why shouldn't our media have such a position? Miscellaneous and sometimes unbelievable content by multiple media is not a solution either. It is necessary to carry out such an important matter by one or more faithful media persons.
