NOURNEWS – The Leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in his recent statements, while emphasizing the futility of negotiations with the US, once again stressed the reality that the Islamic Republic of Iran, instead of accepting imposed solutions, should pursue independent strategies based on internal capabilities in the face of external pressures. The experience of the past years has shown that Iran's enemies, especially the US, not only have no desire for a fair agreement, but also consider negotiation as a tool to impose their greedy demands. In this context, the Zionists, who play a significant role in US regional policies, have always tried to put Iran in a diplomatic and security predicament by creating crises and instill.
While the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the principles of dignity, wisdom, and expediency, is pursuing its path of independence and progress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, is trying to escape from his consecutive defeats in the Gaza war. After 15 months of war and crime, the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians, and widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip, he has failed to achieve his goals and is now trapped in a domestic stalemate, seeking to create a new crisis in the region to remain in power. This regime, relying on the support of the US and some Western countries, is trying to involve Iran in new scenarios aimed at weakening the regional and international position of the Islamic Republic.
In such an environment, the strategies of the Islamic Republic should focus on actively countering these plots, strengthening internal capabilities, expanding regional cooperation, and neutralizing the enemy's pressure tools. Internal cohesion, intelligent diplomacy, reducing economic dependence on the West, and media enlightenment are among the actions that can make the Islamic Republic more resilient against these pressures. What follows is an examination of the requirements and key solutions in the political, foreign policy, economic, and media spheres, which can outline the country's path in dealing with these challenges.
Internal unity in decision-making and a unified message
One of the most crucial requirements in the realm of domestic policy is the coordination and unity among decision-making officials and institutions. When contradictory messages about key issues such as negotiations with the US are sent from within the country, they become tools for enemies to create internal divisions. Therefore, it is essential for all government institutions to emphasize a unified message in foreign policy and refrain from making contradictory statements that can weaken the country's position on the international stage. Strengthening public trust through efficient performance and avoiding tension-inducing policies domestically will be a key pillar of the internal strategy.
Regional relations development and neutralizing sanctions
While the US continues to pursue maximum pressure and impose economic restrictions on Iran, the country's foreign policy should be based on two main axes: first, expanding cooperation with neighboring countries and independent powers such as China, Russia, and India; second, activating regional economic capacities that are not affected by Western sanctions. Accelerating the implementation of regional communication and transportation corridors is a fundamental action in this regard, which not only increases economic cooperation among like-minded countries but also reduces dependence on Western-dominated systems. Additionally, active diplomacy in international organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, and the Eurasian Union can strengthen Iran's position in global economic equations.
Boosting domestic production, reducing government costs, and supporting the private sector
The experience of recent years has shown that the key to solving the country's economic problems lies not in negotiating with the West, but in strengthening the domestic economic foundations. Therefore, special attention should be given to national production, preventing the sale of raw materials, and increasing economic efficiency in the top-level policymaking. Supporting the private sector, which has been repeatedly emphasized by the Leader, is considered a significant approach to countering external sanctions. Furthermore, deepening economic cooperation with neighboring countries and regional organizations can open new avenues for Iran's trade and financial transactions.
Along with these actions, one of the essential necessities for increasing the country's economic resilience is reducing the current costs of the government and other pillars of governance. Developing precise and implementable programs to reduce unnecessary expenses, increase efficiency in government institutions, and minimize financial imbalances in various sectors can significantly contribute to controlling inflation and economic stability. This is especially important when enemies are attempting to exploit economic challenges as a tool to exert pressure on the country.
Countering cognitive warfare and strengthening internal cohesion
Cognitive warfare is a key tool used by the West to influence public opinion in Iran. Western media attempts to highlight internal problems, spread despair and hopelessness in society, and instill the idea that economic problems will not be resolved without negotiations with the US. In this situation, domestic media have the duty to educate the public about the West's deceit while elucidating the reality of their broken promises and greedy demands. It should be demonstrated to the people that, from the West's perspective, negotiation is a tool to impose their demands rather than a path to mutual benefit. Additionally, the media should emphasize national cohesion and prevent the formation of false bipolarities that can weaken internal unity.
To neutralize external pressures, Iran must pursue an independent strategy by fostering internal cohesion, strengthening regional diplomacy, reducing economic dependence on the West, and conducting media enlightenment. Supporting the private sector, reducing government costs, and countering cognitive warfare will make Iran more resilient and powerful in the face of enemies' conspiracies.
