How could you deny the existence of Artsakh?

Here in Armenia, you judge the political, military and spiritual leadership.

I am not surprised that your teachers strangled Khoren Vehaphar in the Mother See, imprisoned Nzhdeh, Bakunts and Charents. You will not lag behind them, will you? Who am I to be angry or surprised? I just want to ask a simple question: who gave you the right to turn off our light? Why did you make our sunny country Armenia so dark?

168.amis the interlocutor of Iranian political analyst Ehsan Mohavedian.

– The last few hours were quite dramatic in international relations. Against the backdrop of Trump’s threats, Pakistan started mediation efforts between Iran and the US, as a result of which the parties declared a ceasefire for two weeks. Iran announced that it was opening the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States announced that it was considering the ten points offered by Iran as a basis for negotiations. Both sides present what happened as a victory. Such sharp turns in international relations are not a manifestation of good will, but the result of either the balance of power or mutual fear. In the end, which side fell: Washington, due to the economic consequences of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a major regional war, or Tehran, due to the possible unpredictable and harsh blows of the Trump administration?

– Without a doubt, it is the United States that fears Iran. Trump has acknowledged the fact that Iran has emerged as the world’s fourth superpower. Trump proposed a 15-point program to Iran. Iran rejected it and instead presented its own 10-point plan, and he accepted it. Because he was afraid of the damage caused by the war in America, the increase in gasoline prices, the hundreds of American casualties, the failure of the plot to invade Iran and the inability to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He’s a professional idiot because he’s now trying to solve a crisis that didn’t even exist before the war: the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, and global shortages of helium, fertilizers, petrochemicals, and steel.

All the experts and analysts in the American and Israeli media admit the victory of Iran and the defeat of Israel and the United States. The list of these wins and losses is as follows.

America’s defeats in the war against Iran.

• A waste of more than $40 billion of American taxpayer dollars.
• Hundreds of Americans killed and wounded,
• Doubling of oil prices,
• Destruction of American bases in the region,
• The petrodollar is dead.
• Europe has fallen out of line with global trends and has become hostile to America.
• NATO has weakened
• Israel and the US are at loggerheads and mistrust, and Zionists feel humiliated and isolated.

Iran’s victories.

• Iran’s 400 kg of uranium has been preserved.
• Sanctions will be lifted.
• Iran will collect tribute from the Strait of Hormuz and has new financing for reconstruction.
• Iran’s allies have been preserved and strengthened.
• The Islamic Republic has been strengthened by new, resilient and rational leaders.
• The Arab allies of the US and Israel have suffered serious losses.
• Iran’s missile program will be maintained and strengthened.
• Trump, who talked about the destruction of Iranian civilization, has been humiliated, discredited and broken, repeatedly changing his positions and accepting the 10-point demands.

In short, Iran has become the world’s fourth rising power. This is the “Art of the Deal” of the incompetent and ignorant Trump.

– What actually happened, what did Washington and Tehran agree on, and to what extent will this ceasefire turn into lasting stability?

– The 10 demands accepted by Iran are:

• A complete cessation of all aggression against Iran and allied resistance groups, especially Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, prohibition of any attack against Iran from military bases.
• For a period of two weeks, a limited daily passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz is established, according to the protocol of safe movement, which is subject to special monitoring and regulation carried out by Iran.
• The lifting of all primary, secondary and UN sanctions, as well as the release of Iranian assets and property.
• Compensation for the damages suffered by Iran through the creation of an investment and financial fund.
• Iran’s commitment not to build nuclear weapons.
• Acceptance of Iran’s right to enrichment by the US and negotiations on the level of enrichment.
• Iran’s agreement to negotiate bilateral and multilateral peace agreements with regional countries in accordance with its own interests.
• Extending the principle of non-aggression to all aggressors against all resistance groups.
• Termination of all resolutions of the Council of Governors and Security Council, and confirmation of all commitments by an official UN resolution.

Considering the advantage it has in the region, Iran will not back down from its terms. It is the United States that is facing problems and constraints with the World Cup, congressional elections, rising gasoline prices, the threat of impeachment against Trump, and the failure to achieve all of his goals against Iran. In this war, Iran used only 30% of the power of its “missile cities”, and the Iranian people supported the Islamic Republic throughout the war, with millions of street demonstrations. The United States and Israel will pay a high price if they violate the ceasefire. But if they respect it, Iran will also respect it. The choice is theirs.

– As you mentioned, the United States accepted the 10 points presented by Iran. In recent weeks, the media have been constantly reporting on Iranian preconditions and proposals. Do you think these last 10 points are revised versions of previous proposals and what are the “red lines” of Iran that are included in these proposals?

– In the presented 10-point program, all “red lines” of Iran were respected. The United States and Israel wanted to destroy Iran or at least change the regime so that Iran’s behavior would change. However, not only those goals did not come true, but Iran stands firm and strong today. A significant part of Iran’s missile and drone potential remains unused. The Iranian people, unlike the depressed and defeated peoples of the USA and Israel, are ready to continue the struggle.

Iran’s enriched uranium is still inside the country. Arab countries and Israel were hit hard and weakened. The forces of resistance have strengthened. The petrodollar has weakened and the United States has no choice but to withdraw from the Middle East and accept Iranian hegemony.

– According to you, there is no concession on the part of Tehran in this process?

– Iran has not made any concessions to the United States. On the contrary, the United States accepted everything that Iran demanded. The United States sought to destroy Iran’s nuclear, missile, and drone capabilities, force Iran into complete capitulation, annihilate Iranian civilization, destroy Iran’s entire infrastructure, and bring about regime change in Iran and its allies. However, none of them happened, and Trump was embarrassed and humiliated. China and Russia will undoubtedly take advantage of this situation in the future. Iran has dealt a heavy blow to the United States and Israel, and America’s decline has accelerated.

– How was the position of the South Caucasus considered in Iran during this war, is it about Azerbaijan or, in particular, Armenia? In your opinion, will the war, the policy of the RA authorities during the war affect the Armenian-Iranian agenda in any way?

– During this war, Baku supported Israel, and many Israeli and American drones entered Iran from the territory of Azerbaijan. Of course, Aliyev expressed sympathy for Iran on the surface, but in practice he hoped for Israel’s success. After Iran’s power and resilience became apparent, Aliyev and the pro-government media changed their hostile tone toward Iran, and Azerbaijani public opinion also began to support Iran. This made it very difficult for Aliyev to carry out malicious actions against Iran. At the same time, everyone in Iran is aware of Aliyev’s true intentions and the Azeri population of Iran about his interest in splitting the regions. The attack on Iran’s military facilities in Bandar Anzali and the attack on Parsabad on the Iran-Azerbaijani border are other questionable incidents that Baku needs to explain.

The good and dear people of Armenia, as well as some political parties of that country, showed great and strong support to Iran, and we in Iran will never forget that support. Although the Armenian government did not condemn the American crimes and only expressed regret, it did provide some assistance to Iran and, fortunately, bilateral trade was not seriously damaged.

However, there was an expectation in Iran that the Armenian government would come out with a clearer position and condemn the brutal aggression of the United States and Israel. If Armenia seeks stable relations with Iran, it must understand that after the last war, Iran will not tolerate the increase of Israeli presence in neighboring countries, nor the American efforts to create the “Trump Route” and the fake “Zangezur Corridor”. “Trump’s route” does not bring any economic benefit to Armenia. it will only surround the country with enemy states and endanger the Iran-Armenia border. Iran is committed to maintaining these borders and countering any attempts to weaken its geopolitical and corridor position, and expects the Armenian government to understand this important issue and strengthen bilateral relations, as in the past, by investing in joint corridor and economic projects.

“As a result of medical examinations, 18-year-old Davit Minasyan was diagnosed with a closed cranial trauma, concussion… However, on that day, Davit was just participating in the liturgy in the church.”

In fact, the medical examination showed that during the liturgy in Saint Anna church, the school boy Davit Minasyan was physically and psychologically abused by Nikol Pashinyan and his bodyguards.

The recently announced US-Iran two-week cease-fire, before the US-Iran talks expected in Islamabad have yet started, has caused serious disagreements between the parties, casting doubt on the cease-fire and possible future agreements. And all this is because immediately after the Iran-US ceasefire agreement was reached, Israel began to strike Lebanon hard, declaring that Lebanon is not part of the US-Iran agreements. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf announced that the US had already violated three key points of Iran’s 10-point proposal before the start of negotiations, including violating the ceasefire in Lebanon, using a drone to penetrate Iranian airspace and denying Iran the right to enrich uranium.

“As the US president has clearly stated, Iran’s 10-point proposal is a “workable basis for negotiations” and the fundamental framework of those negotiations. However, until today, three points of this proposal have been violated,” wrote Ghalibaf on the X social network.

According to him, among the violations are the non-fulfillment of the first point of the proposal, which refers to the cease-fire in Lebanon, the intrusion of an unmanned aerial vehicle into the airspace of Iran in the city of Lar, and depriving Iran of the right to enrich uranium. Ghalibaf added that bilateral ceasefire or negotiations are not advisable under such conditions. Obviously, there is some confusion about Iran’s proposals, with several versions circulating, and the parties interpreting them accordingly. Iran insists that the cease-fire also extends to Lebanon, i.e. Iran’s allies, sanctions against Iran must be lifted, Tehran must maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz, and continue enriching uranium. However, the US insists that the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon.

US President Donald Trump stated that there is no agreement that Iran will be allowed to enrich uranium. The Strait of Hormuz should also be opened and made safe for traffic. US Vice President also confirmed that the USA did not agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon. “We have never made such a promise … we have said that the ceasefire will focus on Iran and America’s allies, both Israel and the Arab states of the Persian Gulf,” US Vice President JD Vance said.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran published the Pakistani statement on its official X social network page, which states that Lebanon has been officially included in the list of countries where a ceasefire should be implemented immediately, emphasizing: “The terms of the cease-fire between Iran and the United States are clear and simple. America must choose between a ceasefire or continuing the war through Israel. A combination of these two factors is impossible. The world is witnessing the carnage in Lebanon. The ball is now in the court of the United States, and global public opinion is watching whether the country will fulfill its obligations.”

Kaya Kalas, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy announced that the cease-fire reached between the United States of America and Iran should also be extended to Lebanon, adding that the Iranian-backed Lebanese group “Hezbollah” should be disarmed. “Israel’s actions put the US-Iran ceasefire under serious pressure. The agreement reached with Iran should also be extended to Lebanon. As a result of Israeli strikes, hundreds of people were killed last night, which makes it difficult to argue that such harsh actions can be considered self-defense,” Kalas wrote on the X social network.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and US Vice President JD Vance were supposed to go to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad today for negotiations, but there is still no clear information whether Iran-US talks will take place in Pakistan or not. According to a number of media reports in the Middle East, Pakistan is actively preparing for its mediation efforts, preparing to host the American and Iranian delegations for global negotiations on the Pakistani platform.

And what is remarkable is that all this is happening in a situation where, according to the authoritative Financial Times, the Trump administration has been secretly pushing for weeks for a ceasefire to be established, seeking to ease the economic burden caused by Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, Washington hoped to use Pakistan as a mediator. Moreover, according to the newspaper, Pakistan Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir was in contact with Iranian officials, Special Envoy Steve Wittkoff, Vice President J.D. With Vance and Trump himself, even after the president threatened to destroy Iranian civilization on Tuesday.

According to five sources familiar with the diplomatic communications, Trump has requested a cease-fire since March 21, the same day he first threatened to strike Iran’s power plants. However, at the same time, in the public field, the US president used a different rhetoric, threatening constant bombings and the prospect of destruction.

“They are the ones asking for consent, not me. They are the ones asking for an agreement,” Trump said, adding that the Iranians are asking for an agreement.

However, the upcoming US-Iran talks in Pakistan do not seem to promise great results, they will take place in a complex and multi-layered security environment, where multi-layered disagreements limit the possibility of diplomatic success. Israel’s continuation of operations in Lebanon under the formal conditions of a cease-fire creates a situation where Iran appears at the negotiation table not with the logic of concessions, but of resistance and containment, further hardening the position that we can already see from the statements coming from Tehran. A classic situation of “managed tension” was formed, where the parties were interested in negotiating, but not enough to reach real compromises.

Against this backdrop, Pakistan’s mediating role, though important, is more technical than strategic. Islamabad can provide a platform for communication, but it cannot influence the main contradictions, which are not due to bilateral, but regional and even global competition.

Geneticists assess the probability of success as limited, at most partial results. It may be about temporary reduction of tension, maintenance of communication channels or agreements of a humanitarian nature, but few foresee a strategic breakthrough.

The speech of Iranian analysts and diplomats shows that Iran’s toughening stance will inevitably affect the South Caucasus as well. In the run-up to the Iran-US-Israel war, Iran hardened its stance towards Azerbaijan, sending multi-level warnings to Azerbaijan about the consequences of giving Azerbaijani territory to Iran’s enemies.

In recent years, Tehran has already given clear signals that any geopolitical restructuring in the region, which would limit its connection with Armenia or strengthen the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem, would be considered as a red line.

In the conditions of the current deepening of tensions, this position seems to be becoming more pronounced. However, it is still not clear how this will affect the actual Iranian policy in the South Caucasus. Aggravation of several trends can be expected. It is not excluded that Iran will try to more actively strengthen its economic and infrastructural presence in Armenia as a counterweight to other regional projects, the deepening of security cooperation is also not excluded, and thirdly, Tehran may react more harshly to any initiative related to the US presence in Armenia and TRIPP, considering it to undermine its strategic interests.

These developments are turning the South Caucasus into a zone of greater geopolitical competition, where Iran, amid its global pressures, can act more decisively and at times riskier. This, in turn, complicates Armenia’s foreign political problems.

In conclusion, it should be noted that possible US-Iran negotiations will take place in Pakistan in unfavorable military and political conditions, and their success depends on the dynamics of regional escalations. And Iran’s toughening position will also be reflected in the South Caucasus, increasing the level of tension and competition in the region.
