Kayhan, in an analysis, discussed the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran\u2019s vital control over it. It wrote: The Strait of Hormuz is under the control, management, and security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is not a place for America\u2019s presence or play.<\/p>\n
Any attack will receive a response beyond imagination. The Strait of Hormuz is the vital chokepoint of the global economy. America knows that if Iran closes the Strait, the West\u2019s \u201ceconomic breathing\u201d will stop. When Trump says that if we had not reached an agreement with Iran, our oil reserves would have run out in four weeks, why should we commit to reopening the Strait of Hormuz in any agreement? The cost of America\u2019s mistakes is extremely high. The U.S. and Israel cannot break Iran\u2019s will. They face a power that fears neither threats nor war. We have absolute sovereignty over our soil and waters. The IRGC Navy has defined the boundaries. Any vessel that tries to use unauthorized routes will face Iran\u2019s heavy response.<\/p>\n
Siasat-e-Rooz: Delusions harm Persian Gulf Arab states\u00a0<\/p>\n
Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the meetings of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio with senior officials of Persian Gulf Arab states. The world is oriented toward a new order in West Asia based on the model of resistance, and even prominent political theorists stress that developments will not revert to the pre\u2013U.S.-Israeli war on Iran (known as the Ramadan War). Yet, the leaders of the Arab states on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf still indulge in fantasies whenever they see American officials. The collective meeting of the (P)GCC foreign ministers with Rubio in Bahrain revealed a bitter truth: regional countries have still not learned lessons from the Ramadan War and America\u2019s behavior. This conduct, if repeated during any renewed U.S.\u2013Israeli aggression against Iran, will place them\u2014due to their cooperation with the aggressors\u2014among Iran\u2019s legitimate targets. The consequences will fall on the leaders of these countries who remain deluded about staying in power through American support.<\/p>\n
Javan: A new order in the Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n
Javan, in an article, referred to Friday night\u2019s military encounter in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident was less a naval clash and more a test of a new navigation order in the waterway. After Iran warned an oil tanker that had deviated from Tehran\u2019s approved route\u2014and after America\u2019s retaliatory strike on Iran\u2019s southern coasts\u2014maritime tracking data shows increased ship movement toward the northern corridor of Hormuz, the corridor Iran insists is the safe passage. It now appears that Tehran, through step-by-step \u201csecurity surgery,\u201d is turning its desired security geometry into operational reality. Alongside the traditional waterway, another route\u2014said to have been shaped with US involvement\u2014was proposed. But subsequent events aimed at challenging Iran in Hormuz revealed that Iran\u2019s new geometry for managing navigation in the strait is gradually becoming established.<\/p>\n
Khorasan: Neither imposition nor surrender<\/p>\n
Khorasan, in an interpretation piece, defended the ongoing Pakistan-mediated negotiations between Iran and the United States. In recent days, as political debate over negotiations has heated up, some platforms and media have tried to portray the decision to enter talks either as a sign of retreat or as something imposed on the highest level of national decision-making body. This behavior is analytically flawed and politically harmful to public understanding. At the highest level of national security governance, a good decision results from balancing ideals, interests, realities on the ground, and national capacities. One reason for the Leader\u2019s approval of negotiations was the quality of the draft understanding. When the text includes halting operations, managing conflict, safe passage through Hormuz, a technical path for removal of sanctions, partial release of assets, and a dispute-resolution mechanism, it cannot be said that negotiation equals retreat. A negotiation that forces the other side to register commitments, accept oversight, and pay political costs is simply the continuation of the battlefield through political tools.<\/p>\n
Resalat: America\u2019s commitments must be verified<\/p>\n
Resalat, in a commentary, discussed Iran\u2019s policy in the memorandum of understanding with the United States. Although the brief meeting made good progress toward fulfilling the conditions and advancing the process\u2014and Iran could have framed each condition as a \u201cvictory narrative\u201d in diplomatic combat\u2014it chose not to. Two reasons explain this approach: First, Iran has no reason to trust the other side; the US may turn the tables and launch an attack at any moment. Second, Iran is not in a hurry. It will advance the understanding line by line, and if the other side breaks its promise, Iran can return to the starting point. Iran obtained everything it wanted at this stage and gave nothing in return. Iran\u2019s strategy in the Swiss negotiations is to verify America\u2019s commitments. This strategy has already shown its success in diplomacy. Meanwhile, on the military front, fingers remain on the trigger with full readiness.
