SAEDNEWS: The IRGC’s Deputy Political Assistant warned that foreign policy isn’t a place for every truth. Missteps by senior officials mainly harm the government and complicate their role in complex foreign and domestic politics.
The Deputy Political Assistant of the IRGC wrote: The realm of foreign policy is not a place to state every truth. The dangers of using incorrect expressions by high-ranking government officials primarily affect the government itself and make it difficult for them to operate in the highly complex and tense arenas of foreign policy and even domestic politics.
According to the political service of SaedNews, quoting Entekhab: The Deputy Political Assistant of the IRGC wrote: The realm of foreign policy is not a place to state every truth. The dangers of using incorrect expressions by high-ranking government officials primarily affect the government itself and make it difficult for them to operate in the highly complex and tense arenas of foreign policy and even domestic politics.
During the presidential election campaign of 1403 (2024), Mr. Medicalian probably, based on his advisors’ recommendations, sometimes read his viewpoints from a pre-written text. Whether this was right or wrong is not our concern, but one logic—that is, to avoid mistakes—convinced Mr. Medicalian and his team to speak from a prepared text. That logic still holds; now that he is president, its importance has grown even more. We live in a time when every word and sentence carries significant weight. Especially expressions used by political leaders can sometimes determine the fate of countries and societies.
There is no doubt about the health and sincerity of the honorable president, but the global public opinion, media, and other international actors interpret every sentence from the president according to their own desires and objectives. Unfortunately, the president’s verbal slips, especially amid critical and decisive events, have increased and sometimes caused harm to national security.
The realm of foreign policy is not a place to state every truth. The dangers of using incorrect expressions by high-ranking government officials primarily affect the government itself and make it difficult for them to operate in the highly complex and tense arenas of foreign policy and even domestic politics. From this perspective, the president himself and his dedicated advisory team, with regard to this important consideration, must seek solutions to resolve this problem for the sake of national interests.
