The formation of a new government in Iran has been a protracted process, resulting in a delay in conveying a strong interactive message to the world. The current policies are still being executed within the framework set by the outgoing government. Expediting cabinet formation and empowering the new diplomatic team to vigorously pursue its plans and initiatives are crucial steps toward achieving the desired engagement.
However, based on Pezeshkian’s stance during and after the election, the engagement policy seeks to strike a balance in foreign relations and advance Iran’s national goals and interests. This engagement does not mean a shift toward a Western-oriented approach, abandoning the previous “Look East” policy.
Nonetheless, it is undeniable that sanctions have inflicted considerable harm on Iran’s economy, requiring swift remedial actions from the new government’s diplomatic apparatus.
Both Europe and the US have expressed their welcome for Iran’s adoption of a dialogue-based approach. Their somewhat muted response to Pezeshkian’s victory can be attributed to their anticipation of the new government’s actions, coupled with the US pre-election phase. They acknowledge that safeguarding their interests in West Asia demands support for a dialogue policy with Iran.
Despite the challenges faced by Pezeshkian’s government, there are grounds for optimism regarding the world’s positive response to Iran’s interactive discourse. Pezeshkian’s determination to forge ahead on this path cannot be deterred by Netanyahu’s
opposition.
