Before Khamenei dies or steps down: an American proposal to open up to my president

 

 2022-06-12 08:33

 

Shafaq News/ The American "National Interest" magazine has raised the possibility of the death or resignation of the Supreme Leader of the Iranian Republic, Ali Khamenei, and the course of the nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Western countries, calling on Washington to strengthen communication and trust with the potential new leader of Iran, who "may" be the current President of the Republic, Ibrahim Raisi.

 

At the outset, the American report, which was published by the magazine in English and translated by Shafak News Agency, stated that the "hawks" in the United States, and before the ink dried of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the so-called "nuclear agreement" between Iran and the six countries, including the United States They rejected the agreement, claiming that it was not comprehensive, and that the deal with Iran did not address its non-nuclear capabilities, such as its ballistic missiles or its support for armed groups throughout the Middle East.

 

The report continued, that the "doves" of the Americans considered, for their part, that the deal with Iran was the only realistic way that could impede its possession of nuclear weapons, and thus reduce the chances of war.

 

However, the US report emphasized that "both the hawks and the doves failed to see the most important outcome of any deal, which is the possibilities of developing a working relationship with the next Supreme Leader of Iran."

 

The report stated that "Khamenei, who is ill and at the age of 82, is likely to die or step down within a short period," adding that "the current president, Ebrahim Raisi, is the main contender for the position of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic."

 

The report pointed out that "the major Western powers are currently trying to conclude a new deal with the administration of Ibrahim Raisi," adding that "the development of mutual trust between Ibrahim Raisi and the United States, can thus achieve significant strategic benefits in a short time."

 

The report pointed out that many analysts assert that Iran has repeatedly resorted to "preferring ideology over pragmatism", given the Islamic identity that strengthens the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic's regime, but the report added that "adherence to ideology does not necessarily mean unwillingness to make concessions or work with A declared enemy, as (Chinese leader) Mao Zedong demonstrated in his achievement of diplomatic relations with America in 1972."

 

The report stated that Iran, for its part, is aware of "the limits of its own ideology, as well as the strategic opportunities that diplomacy can provide," recalling that the founder of the Iranian Republic, Khomeini, had previously considered that the Islamic government had the right to do what it was necessary to perform its duties.

 

Therefore, the US report considered that it is possible to say that there is a willingness on the part of Islamic Iran to negotiate with America during important moments in its history, recalling the negotiations for the release of American hostages in 1981, and the “Iran-Contra” issue, all the way to the plan of the nuclear agreement, stressing These events are "a testimony to Iran's recognition of the limits of its power and ideology."

 

In this context, the report called on the United States and other great powers to "work towards concluding a deal with Iran, and not lose sight of the most important element in this process, which is creating a channel of communication with who could be the next Supreme Leader of Iran."

 

The report stated that the new guide of the republic could reach power within a short time, and would last for a long period of decades in power.

 

The report warned that if the United States and the international community continued to focus too much on the technical aspects of the potential nuclear agreement, and did not pay attention to the importance of this being sufficient to pave the way for future cooperation, the important opportunity would be lost.

 

The report noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran is still "a young regime even by Middle Eastern standards", and that it is possible that "Iran will undergo transformation and seek better relations with other countries, just as other ideological regimes have done in recent memory."

 

The report indicated that "officially, the Supreme Leader has few direct administrative duties, although the tasks he undertakes are important, as he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but he does not have legislative authority (in Parliament), or the authority Direct judicial, or control over ministries,” adding, at the same time, that he enjoys great influence through the appointment of the head of the judiciary, half of the Guardian Council members, and the selection of members of the Supreme National Security Council, and through the selection of members of the Expediency Council.

 

He added that "big political decisions can only take place with the approval of the Supreme Leader," noting that the issue of rapprochement between the United States and Iran confirms this matter.

Today, Friday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi expressed his surprise at the actions of the United States of America, "which is calling for an agreement while imposing more sanctions."

The Iranian "IRNA" news agency quoted Raisi as saying, "The world must realize why we do not trust them, as these do not fulfill the charters...

Vienna: «Middle East Online»

A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, seen by Reuters, showed today, Monday, that Iran is stepping up its uranium enrichment process by preparing to use a set of advanced “IR-6” centrifuges at the underground Fordow site that can be switched. more easily between enrichment levels.

The series of 166 machines is the second of a group of IR-6s to be installed at Fordow, a site buried inside a mountain, and is the only series to contain so-called "modified subheads" that facilitate enrichment of varying purities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations said in a statement that the confidential report directed to member states indicated that Iran had informed the agency that it had started a process to be carried out before enrichment, but Tehran did not clarify the level at which the enrichment would be.

 

And earlier (Monday), the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman announced that talks aimed at resuming the agreement on the Iranian nuclear file "have not gone out of their way" despite the new punitive measures imposed by Washington on Tehran.

Negotiations aimed at bringing the United States back into the 2015 agreement between Iran and major powers and getting Iran to fully abide by it have been frozen since March after more than a year of discussions.

Tehran and Washington accuse each other of being responsible for the deadlock in the negotiations.

"We are continuing the diplomatic track, and the train has not derailed yet, despite the Americans' retreat from their commitments," spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in his weekly press conference.

Iran recently announced the suspension of a number of the agency's surveillance cameras in some of its nuclear facilities, after the United States and the Europeans passed a resolution in the International Atomic Energy Agency condemning the lack of cooperation on the part of Iran.

US report sheds light on 'Israeli assassinations' in Iran

2022.06.22 - 11:29

 

  

Baghdad - people   

US officials have said that the Israelis have carried out a large number of covert operations inside Iran in recent months. A day after the Wall Street Journal announced a change in Israel's strategy in responding to Tehran's threats.  

 

  

Several current and former US government officials told CNN that Israeli intelligence agencies have escalated covert attacks on Iranian nuclear targets and scientists, but have not provided many details of their operations to US officials.  

  

According to these officials, Israel has intensified targeted killings and other gray-zone operations against the Tehran regime in recent months, and although a normal war between Iran and Israel is unlikely, there is the potential for miscalculation spiraling out of control.  

  

"In most cases, Israel does not officially or even privately recognize its role in the process," CNN added.  

  

According to a US official, Iran has raised the alert level of its defense and air forces in response to the increase in Israeli operations.  

  

An American official and another well-informed source told CNN that Israel was behind the killing of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Sayyad Khodaei in Tehran, and that Iran claimed that two scientists working on military projects were killed in the past days as a result of "deliberate poisoning" by Israel.  

  

The two officials also cited the killing of Ehsan Qadbegi in a drone strike on the Parchin military complex, and some other members of the Revolutionary Guards.  

  

Tensions are rising between Israel and Iran while talks to revive the nuclear deal stalled several months ago.  

  

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, June 20, citing informed sources, that Israel has adopted the "octopus doctrine" in response to Tehran's threats, and instead of targeting the Iranian regime's proxies abroad, it is targeting a broader range of key Iranian nuclear, missile and aircraft targets. The march inside Iran.  

  

Informed sources told the Wall Street Journal that given the significant progress Iran has made in producing enriched uranium for weapons, Israel's goal now is to prevent Tehran from producing a nuclear warhead and a capable missile.  

  

Meanwhile, CNN confirmed in a report on Monday that Joe Biden, who is preparing to travel to Israel, the West Bank and Saudi Arabia, is under pressure to come up with a workable plan to limit Iran's influence.  

  

A senior US official also said that one of the goals of Biden's trip to the Middle East was to reassure US allies that America would take the Iranian threat seriously.

Iran is concerned about a possible alliance against it, followed by an escalation with Washington

2022.06.22 - 15:29

 

  

Baghdad - people  

The Iranian writer and expert in international relations, Mahdi Motaharnia, expected that an Arab-Israeli alliance would be formed against Iran, pointing out that  

  

 

All indications point to the success of the efforts made in this context. After years of enmity with the Arabs, Israel turns into an ally and friend, and in return, Iran becomes the main enemy of these countries.  

  

Mutaharnia said in an interview with Al Sharq newspaper (June 22, 2022) followed by "Nas" that new countries will join this alliance against Iran, and this alliance will include Egypt, the Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel. He also did not rule out the accession of Pakistan and the Taliban government in Afghanistan to this alliance in the years to come. coming.  

  

The writer referred to the actions carried out against Iran, from targeting its prominent personalities in the heart of Tehran, to a narrowing in international forums, believing that this situation will continue and expand in the coming period.  

  

For its part, the newspaper "Tasweseh Irani" published today, Wednesday, saw this step as facilitating efforts aimed at defining Iran as a threat factor to the world, a reality that puts the nuclear agreement on the brink of the abyss.  

  

The newspaper expected that the coming fall would witness an escalation in the crisis between Iran and the United States of America, as it expected that Iran’s oil resources would be targeted in the coming weeks, but this targeting would not be of a scale that would call for confrontation and escalation in the region, pointing out that the US President’s visit to the region will take place to formulate a strategy to confront Iran.

Tehran demands Washington pay more than 4 billion dollars to compensate the families of assassinated nuclear scientists

2022.06.23 - 20:13

 

Baghdad - people  

On Thursday, an Iranian court demanded that Washington pay more than 4 billion dollars to compensate the families of nuclear scientists who were killed in recent years in attacks that Tehran attributed to Israeli or American intelligence services, according to official media .  

  

 

The court ruling, published by the official IRNA news agency, targets the US government, former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, among other senior US officials.  

"It is clear that the Zionist regime is responsible for these assassinations," the verdict said.  

The court says it is "based on criminal investigations and statements by Israeli officials, and accuses Washington of supporting the Jewish state, directly and indirectly."  

"The United States is responsible for all these actions, including aiding, supporting and carrying out terrorist acts against Iranian scientists," the ruling added.  

"The court ordered the US government and officials to pay $4.3 billion in material, moral and punitive damages," he added.  

The court's decision comes at a time when high tension prevails between Western countries and Iran over its nuclear program.

Acknowledgment of shortcomings or escalation?

A newspaper analyzes the reasons for the expulsion of the commander of the intelligence service of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards

2022.06.23 - 21:36

 

Baghdad - people  

Rai Al-Youm newspaper published an analysis of the reasons for the removal of the intelligence chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards  

  

  

  

According to the analysis of the newspaper, whose editor-in-chief Abdel Bari Atwan, followed by “Nass” on Thursday (June 23, 2022), “the Iranian authorities dismissed today, Thursday, General Hussein Taeb, the commander of the intelligence service of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, from his position, and appointed him as an advisor to Major General Hussein Salami, the head of the guard, in A step that constitutes an admission of his lack of success in his duties, due to the increasing number of assassinations carried out by the Israeli "Mossad", which targeted many nuclear scientists and leaders in the Revolutionary Guards, the last of whom was Colonel Sayyad Khudaei, the guard's special operations officer, in front of his home in Tehran.  

  

General Taeb was a "mysterious" figure like most of his ilk in this position, and many Israeli novels have been leaked in recent days, most of which said that he was planning assassinations of many Israeli officials in Turkey, which were thwarted, and the Israeli government took measures, including all of his demands. Istanbul and the tourist products in Antalya and others to return immediately, and as soon as possible.  

  

It is still unknown why General Taeb was dismissed. Was this dismissal due to the thwarting of the alleged assassinations on Turkish soil, if the Israeli leaks were true, or the assassination of Colonel Khadaei in front of his house in the capital, Tehran, or perhaps both, but it is a courageous and decisive step, and it may pave the way for To restructure the intelligence apparatus of the Revolutionary Guards, and to appoint more extremist and effective leaders that are commensurate with an upcoming escalatory step being prepared for which would tip Iran’s hand in the war of assassinations.  

  

The Iranian authorities, and the Revolutionary Guards in particular, are suffering from great embarrassment because of the Mossad’s penetration into its security services and its access to large heads in the nuclear program, led by great scientists, which angered the senior leaders, and prompted them to adopt a policy of removing most of the “failed officials.” In the intelligence services, especially in the Revolutionary Guards, the pumping of young blood, according to the opinions of an expert on Iranian affairs, spoke to “Rai Al-Youm” and requested that his name not be mentioned.  

  

It may take a long time for the results of this change in the intelligence leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to appear, because the restructuring operations include the dismissal and change of large numbers of leaders of the first and second ranks. The Iranian embassy and the headquarters of the leadership of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires, especially since the Iranian negotiators in the Vienna nuclear negotiations refused to give up the right of the Revolutionary Guards to take revenge on Major General Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force, and his colleague Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, in exchange for lifting sanctions against Iran, Al-Thawri was included in the US terrorist list in the Vienna negotiations.  

  

The war of assassinations will inevitably escalate between the Revolutionary Guards and the Israeli “Mossad” in the coming weeks, and it is not excluded that this escalation is the main task of the new commander of the intelligence service in the Guard, which will exacerbate the state of anxiety, terror and confusion among the Israelis, whether they are Mossad agents or agents. Diplomats in embassies, or even ordinary tourists.. God knows best, according to the newspaper.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence criticized the negotiations conducted by the administration of President Joe Biden, with Iran, with the aim of reaching a nuclear agreement, calling for withdrawal from the negotiations.

The administration of former Republican President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence took a hostile stance towards Iran, withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal and re-tightened sanctions on Tehran.

Addressing thousands of members of the Iranian terrorist group People's Mojahedin in Albania, which he is visiting, Pence said, "President Biden and his administration are now threatening to topple all the progress we've made in marginalizing the tyrannical regime in Tehran," as he put it.

He added: "We call on the Biden administration to immediately withdraw from the nuclear negotiations with Tehran."

The MEK has won the support of conservative Republicans in the past, including figures such as former US National Security Adviser John Bolton and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Albania agreed in 2013 to take in about 3,000 members of the Iranian opposition group in exile at the request of Washington and the United Nations.

In April 2021, the Biden administration began a new round of negotiations with Iran in Vienna; With the aim of returning the United States to the nuclear agreement, the talks reached a dead end in March 2022.

The 2015 agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, allowed for the easing of sanctions imposed on Iran, in exchange for restrictions on its program to ensure that it could not develop a nuclear weapon, which Tehran has always denied intending to do.

But in 2018, the United States withdrew from the deal under Trump and reimposed severe economic sanctions that pushed Iran back from its commitments.

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said during a press conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Tehran that Iran "seriously" hopes to reach an agreement on its nuclear program with major powers, including the United States.

The delegations of the United States and Iran arrive in Qatar to start talks on the nuclear agreement

2022.06.28 - 14:29

 

Baghdad - people  

The negotiating teams from Iran and the United States have arrived in the Qatari capital, Doha, for a new round of talks to revive the nuclear deal.  

 

  

  

At the same time, the US Special Representative for Iran Affairs, Robert Malley, met with Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.  

  

The Qatari Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing its hope that the talks would yield positive results.  

  

Robert Malley met the Qatari Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, on Tuesday morning, June 28 (June 28).  

  

The US embassy in Doha said, on Twitter, that the two sides "discussed the close cooperation between the two countries, as well as joint efforts in the Iranian issue."  

  

At the same time, on Tuesday, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying that the country welcomes hosting talks between the United States and Iran in Doha to revive the nuclear agreement, and is ready to provide space to help the talks succeed.  

  

Negotiations to revive the nuclear deal, which were previously held in Vienna, have been suspended since last March.  

  

The Qatari Foreign Ministry said in its statement: "We hope that the Doha talks will lead to positive results that support security and stability in the region."  

  

The official Iranian news agency also reported that Iran's chief negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, arrived in Doha on Tuesday morning.  

  

According to Iran International, Bagheri Kani and his entourage are staying at the Intercontinental Hotel and the talks are completely closed to the media.  

  

Some sources said that Qatari officials pledged to prevent news of the talks from being leaked outside the negotiators' will.  

  

The European Union is supervising the Qatar talks, such as the Vienna talks, where Enrique Mora, the EU's assistant foreign policy coordinator, acts as a coordinator for the talks to revive the nuclear deal. Mora will brief the two sides on the views and demands of the Iranian and American negotiators.  

  

If the nuclear deal is revived, some economic sanctions imposed on Iran are expected to be lifted in exchange for restrictions on the nuclear program.  

  

"One of the main reasons for the turmoil in the global energy market and the threat to energy security is the sanctions against Iran, which has the largest reserves of oil and gas in the world," the Iranian oil minister wrote in a tweet, coinciding with the Doha talks.  

  

Earlier, the media adviser to the Iranian negotiating team, Mohammad Marandi, said: "The Americans, as well as the Europeans, know that their situation has become more difficult because of the war in Ukraine. Therefore, it is in America's interest to reach an agreement."  

  

However, without expressing optimism about the round of talks, a senior official in the Joe Biden administration said on Monday that an agreement with Iran was no closer than it was three months ago.  

  

"We don't intend to prejudge, but we are keeping our expectations [from a new round of talks] under control," the unnamed senior US official told the Washington Post.

An Iranian agency announces the failure of the first round of Doha negotiations between Tehran and Washington

2022.06.29 - 15:41

 

Baghdad - people  

The International Tasnim News Agency reported that the meeting between Iran's chief negotiator, Dr. Ali Bagheri, and the European Union's deputy foreign policy official, Enrique Mora, ended in Qatar on June 28-29.  

 

  

A source familiar with the negotiations told Tasnim Agency, which was followed by "Nas" (June 29, 2022), that during this round of talks, which took place indirectly between Iran and America, and the European Union assumed the role of mediator and conveying messages, Iran reiterated the need to obtain a sustainable agreement.  

But what prevented a result in this round of negotiations is the insistence of the American side on the text of its proposal in Vienna 7, which does not include “a guarantee of Iran’s economic benefit.” In fact, Washington is seeking to revive the nuclear agreement in order to restrict Iran without achieving economic gains.  

This issue led to the Doha summit not having any effect on breaking the deadlock in the negotiations due to the weakness of the Biden administration and the inability to take a final decision on reviving the nuclear agreement, which only requires America to accept the Iranian red line in economic benefit from this agreement.  

This is what prompted the EU High Representative to criticize America's approach in not trying to revive the nuclear deal.

Reuters: The chances of reviving the nuclear agreement are worse after the Doha negotiations

2022.07.01 - 08:33

 

Baghdad - people  

A senior US official told Reuters on Thursday that the chances of reviving the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement have become worse after the indirect negotiations that took place between the United States and Iran in Doha, which ended without progress.  

  

 

  

"The prospects for reaching an agreement after Doha (negotiations) are worse than they were before and will get worse day by day," the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity.  

  

He went on to say, "You can describe the Doha negotiations at best as stumbling, and at worst as reversing. But at this stage, stumbling practically means going backwards."  

 

The official did not go into details of the Doha talks, in which European Union officials have mediated between the two sides in an effort to revive the 2015 nuclear deal that curbed Iran's nuclear program in return for relief from economic sanctions.  

  

Former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed severe sanctions on Iran, prompting Tehran about a year later to start violating the nuclear restrictions imposed on it under the agreement.  

  

He said: "Their vague demands and the reopening of previously settled issues and requests clearly have nothing to do with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the nuclear deal).  

All of this indicates to us...that the real discussion that should take place (not) is between Iran and the United States to resolve the remaining issues...but between Iran and Iran to resolve the core issue of whether they are interested in a mutual return of the JCPOA."  

"At this point, I'm not sure if they (the Iranians) know what they want. They didn't come to Doha with specifics. Some of the things they either knew, or should have known, could not be completely acceptable to us and the Europeans." ".  

  

For its part, Iran described the negotiations that took place in Doha as positive and blamed the United States for not offering guarantees that any new American administration would not abandon the agreement, as Trump did.  

  

"Iran has asked the United States for objective and verifiable guarantees such as that the JCPOA will not be blown again, that the United States does not violate its commitments again, and that sanctions are not re-imposed under pretexts or Other names.  

  

The US official said that since the start of the talks in April 2021, Washington has made it clear that it cannot give Iran legal guarantees that any subsequent US administration will abide by the agreement.  

 

The official added, "We said that there is no legal way that would allow us to oblige a future administration to do anything, so we looked for other ways to provide what could reassure Iran ... and we thought that this file had been closed."  

  

Each team of US and Iranian officials blamed the other for the lack of progress.  

  

The US official rejected Tehran's accusation of Washington's responsibility for the lack of progress, and said that the United States responded positively to the changes proposed by the European Union to the draft agreement reached during the broader talks in March, while Iran did not respond to those proposed changes.  

  

If the nuclear deal is not revived, the official said, "the Iranian leadership will have to explain why it has turned its back on the benefits of the agreement for issues that will not make a positive difference in the life of a single Iranian citizen."  

  

The US official did not give details of those cases. But reviving the nuclear deal would allow Iran to legally export its oil, the lifeblood of its economy.
