Pezeshkian’s message ahead ...

It appears that in analyzing the framework of the president’s announcement on foreign policy, based on what he outlined in yesterday’s press conference, two points should be noted, which can be considered the president’s clear message to foreign parties.
The first point is that the new government’s interactive policy in Iran is based on dialogue and diplomacy to resolve disputes and establish peace. Accordingly, the president spoke about the need for efforts to establish peace in Ukraine and Gaza, and reminded Western countries that their excessive demands and power lust are among the reasons for the formation of conflicts and wars. In this framework, Iran’s interaction with other parties will not be based on excessive demands, but rather on securing interests and mutual respect.
Prior to Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi also outlined the framework for Iran’s diplomacy and potential future talks with Western parties in a televised interview, stating that Iran’s interests would be secured. He emphasized that Iran is ready to negotiate with foreign parties to resolve disputes and secure national interests, and that it does not matter who becomes the president of the United States.
Another notable point in the president’s press conference was his defense of the country’s military capabilities. This defense was based on a logical and justifiable framework. In a turbulent region where much of the tension is rooted in the policies of extraterritorial countries and the Western-backed arming of the Israeli regime, Iran is forced to strengthen its defense system. The president noted that Iran has not initiated any wars in the past 200 years, but has stood up to foreign aggression.
Therefore, the message of the Islamic Republic to foreign parties was twofold: first, emphasizing Iran’s readiness to engage in dialogue and resolve disputes within the framework of mutual respect and securing interests, and second, defending Iran’s defense capabilities, with the explanation that these capabilities are not intended to be used to invade another country.
