Farhikhtegan, in an analysis, examined the consistency of Iran\u2019s discourse during the Ramadan War and throughout the ceasefire period. According to the paper, Iran\u2019s discourse has been shaped by stability, coherence, realism, and alignment between words and actions.<\/p>\n
Tehran\u2019s messages \u2014 even when delivered in a warning tone \u2014 have a calming effect on the markets because they are credible and executable (such as the actual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz).The dominant global narrative no longer belongs to whoever shouts the loudest, but to the actor who speaks more deliberately, coherently, and realistically, and above all, fulfills its commitments. In this asymmetric media arena, the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to shift from being a consumer of others\u2019 narratives to becoming a producer of global perception. Today, the global oil market responds more positively and calmly to Iran\u2019s voice \u2014 a voice that signals stability and proves it through action \u2014 than to Trump\u2019s repetitive and unstable threats. This shift in perception may be Iran\u2019s most important strategic achievement in this unequal conflict: the triumph of a discourse of stability over a discourse of excitement and volatility.<\/p>\n
Siasat-e-Rooz: Iran\u2019s management of the Strait of Hormuz is certain and essential<\/p>\n
Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the importance of Iran\u2019s management of the Strait of Hormuz. The editorial states that, alongside the defensive readiness of the armed forces, the strait can provide permanent deterrence for the country. Normalizing the situation in the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 which is accompanied by a drop in oil prices \u2014 could give Trump the illusion that he can extract more concessions in the Islamabad negotiations, and by rapidly lowering energy prices, reduce the cost of starting a new war for aggressors. Under these conditions, the paper suggests that smart management of the strait \u2014 combined with firm warnings to any violating vessels and with the clear message that the situation will not return to the pre\u2011war era \u2014 is a factor that raises the enemy\u2019s costs and strengthens Iran\u2019s bargaining power. As a key deterrent principle, it must be internalized globally that Iran\u2019s management of the Strait of Hormuz is definite and essential, and that accepting Iran\u2019s conditions and rights is an irreversible necessity.<\/p>\n
Iran: A strategic victory for Iran<\/p>\n
The Iran newspaper, in an interpretation, examined Iran\u2019s powerful approach toward the enemy\u2019s plot. According to the paper, the Israelis had convinced the Americans that if the US supported and directly entered the war, they could overthrow the Iranian system within a few days by assassinating Iran\u2019s leader and other senior officials. Their strategy was that by assassinating the leadership, the system would collapse or people would take to the streets, and it would be over, but that did not happen. In response to the continuous attacks and threats from the aggressive enemy, Iran launched extensive strikes on all US military bases in the region. Iran crossed its own red lines, targeted industrial and vital areas, and warned that if its bridges and power plants were attacked, it would shut down the entire region. This threat forced the enemy to pause. In the end, Israel and the United States achieved nothing, while Iran \u2014 relying on three pillars: the armed forces, the unprecedented presence of people in the streets, and active diplomacy \u2014 succeeded in achieving a strategic victory.<\/p>\n
Shargh: The Strait of Hormuz, a powerful lever<\/p>\n
For five decades, the United States, by guaranteeing the security of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, had created the assurance that the region\u2019s oil would be sold in dollars and that the resulting dollars would flow back into US financial markets. But the current war has revealed how fragile these guarantees are. Today, China purchases a significant portion of its needed oil from Iran and Russia, and many of these transactions are settled in Yuan. The dollar\u2019s share of global foreign\u2011exchange reserves has fallen to its lowest level of this century. This structural shift in the architecture of global finance goes far beyond a temporary tactic. As Deutsche Bank emphasized in an analysis, the Iran war may be recorded in history as a \u2018key catalyst in the erosion of the petrodollar and the beginning of the petroyuan era.\u2019 In this new architecture, Iran \u2014 with the leverage of controlling the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 plays a central role. What is happening is not a tactical shift but a structural transformation in the global financial system, and no future agreement can reverse this trajectory. Iran now holds a lever that extends far beyond the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 reaching deep into the foundations of the global financial order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farhikhtegan, in an analysis, examined the consistency of Iran\u2019s discourse during the Ramadan War and throughout the ceasefire…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[34,42,18317,69,36],"class_list":{"0":"post-73473","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tehran","8":"tag-iran","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-newspaper","11":"tag-tehran","12":"tag-war"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116433542451669426","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
