According to Khabaronline news agency, Ahmad Naderi in an interview, about whether American war against Iran Is Washington’s latest attempt to maintain hegemony or is it a sign of its inability to manage the international order, he said: I believe this war can be both an attempt to restore the credibility of American deterrence and reveal the limitations of its leadership.
According to Ilna’s report, this member of the Presidency of the Islamic Council pointed out: America still believes in the approach of high military destruction, that the continuation of the conflict and the fragility of the previous agreements show that the military superiority that they claim, alone did not create the desired order in Washington, as in the Ramadan war, we challenged their superiority in front of the eyes of the world by displaying our own military power and authority.
He continued: Therefore, my opinion is that the war is more than the end of America’s power, it shows the gap between its military power and its political management ability, and America has been looking for its desired order in all regions of the world, especially in the West Asian region, but it has failed because you cannot impose your desired order on other nations by force of arms, and the military action and resort to force by the United States is only to delay the multipolar order in the world.
Naderi continued: I must remind you that the word hegemony is a colonial term used by the United States to show their prestige. Just by studying a little bit in international relations, we realize that neither we nor other powers accept this term and do not pay attention to such a power, and this term is used in weak countries such as Jordan, Kuwait, and the UAE. However, the last attempt is definitive and premature, and the fate of great powers is not determined by a single war.
Iran should not base its policy on the assumption of the imminent withdrawal of America from the world stage
Tehran’s representative in the Islamic Council, regarding whether the United States is on the path of global power decline and what changes Iran should make in its regional policy, said: We must distinguish between the relative decline and collapse of power that we hear mostly in the media, and that reducing the possibility of imposing demands does not necessarily mean the decline of all components of power and its collapse. Therefore, it would be logically wrong for Iran to base its policy on the assumption of the imminent withdrawal of the United States from the world stage, because their departure It is not immediate and this matter takes time, that is why Iran must take several actions; First, regional power should be measured with economic power, internal cohesion, technology and trust of neighbors.
He pointed out: Moving towards an effective and reliable defense deterrence is important along with missile and drone power, and we must also have nuclear power. Thirdly, in addition to de-escalation, we must have economic cooperation and clear agreements with the countries of the region. The success criteria of such a policy must be to increase the security and well-being of the people and reduce the possibility of war, and influence that does not produce these results will not be sustainable.
The defeat of the Republicans does not necessarily mean the escalation of US military action against Iran
Regarding whether the defeat of the Republicans can lead Trump to display military power against Iran, this member of the Islamic Council said: There is no definite relationship between the electoral defeat and the decision to escalate the war.
He added: According to the latest reports we see, the Iran war and its economic consequences were one of the factors in the defeat of the Republicans, which even Trump himself publicly admitted after the defeat of the Republicans. In analyzing Trump’s behavior, his need to show authority should be seen alongside his desire to declare an agreement as a victory. Hence, economic pressure, military threats, limited action or negotiation could all figure into his calculations.
Naderi stated: My conclusion is that internal failure can strengthen the motivation to show power and achieve something with military action, because there are presidential and congressional elections in two years, and the Republicans will do everything to avoid handing over power to a rival. Because the main reason for their failure was the attack on Iran and their defeat in this war, but in order to predict the attack, the practical movements and the path of negotiations must also be examined.
Multipolarization of the world does not mean the formation of defense alliances for the benefit of Iran
In response to why Iran has not been able to get effective security and economic guarantees from China, Russia and emerging powers, he said: First, the assumption of the question must be corrected.
Tehran’s representative in the Islamic Council reminded: In these years, we have shown that we are not waiting for anyone to guarantee security, and we have developed our own defense capabilities with completely indigenous knowledge.
Regarding Iran’s relations with its strategic partnership, he said: China and Russia regulate relations with Tehran within the framework of their interests and their relations with other actors, and China has also avoided an official defense commitment to Iran. Diplomatic support, trade, and arms cooperation are all different from a commitment to go to war to defend Iran.
This member of parliament emphasized: In the economic field, sanctions, the difficulty of bank transactions and the unpredictability of decisions make it difficult to turn political agreements into sustainable investment. Therefore, Iran must diversify its foreign relations and bring cooperation to specific and measurable commitments, and expecting unlimited support is not a reliable basis for security.
Iran can be one of the important pillars of regional security; But this role requires the trust of the neighbors
Naderi said about whether Iran is ready to accept more responsibility in the security of the region in the event of the US withdrawal: the possible withdrawal of the US does not create security by itself, the result depends on how it exits and the existence of alternative arrangements.
He said: Iran can be one of the important pillars of regional security and it is, but playing this role requires the trust and acceptance of its neighbors, and merely having military power is not enough to manage common security, and effective diplomacy and stable economic power are also necessary, so without a regional agreement, reducing the presence of the United States can increase the concern of governments and lead to an arms race and rival coalitions.
