SAEDNEWS: After a war that is not yet over, and amid the JCPOA parties’ actions and the use of the “snapback” mechanism, we are now confronted with a more urgent issue: how to engage with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which Iran has declared irrelevant and considers to have no authority.
According to the political desk of Saed News, Ham Mihan newspaper wrote: While it is true that Russia and China oppose this process, little can be done if Western countries act accordingly. The objections of these two countries, though valuable, cannot prevent other nations from interpreting the matter as they see fit.
On the other hand, unresolved issues with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could even push these two countries into positions different from Iran’s interests. Meanwhile, continued passivity and lack of initiative cannot be sustainable—especially when the opposing side possesses sufficient power and tools, occupies an active position, and will not remain silent.
Even maintaining the current state is impossible for Iran. Therefore, we need constructive ideas in both foreign and domestic policy. This passivity carries additional consequences: as existing forces cannot address core issues, they become entangled in destructive controversies and polarization, highlighting peripheral and misleading matters. Many of the topics raised regarding Russia stem from a lack of attention to national priorities.
The behavior of parliamentarians—chanting slogans, calling for the death of individuals, and even the way the speaker of the parliament handles these matters—reveals a clear lack of proper analysis of the country’s core issues. Some representatives, through baseless accusations, degrade politics and attempt to stir tensions to divert attention from key national matters.
The judiciary, which reacts immediately even to minor issues, prefers to act promptly on such accusations. If the accuser’s claim is valid, the violator is punished; otherwise, the false accuser—especially one using an official position to manipulate public opinion against others—is tried and condemned. This suggests that we may be a self-destructive society: even if no one interferes, we have enough capacity to undermine ourselves.
All of this leads to the context of the brief letter sent two days ago by the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council to media managers, which stated: “To protect our proud nation, Iran, two points are crucial: first, strengthening the armed forces and following up on this matter with us; and more importantly, maintaining national unity and preventing the spread of artificial polarization to ensure the path of national development. We count on your support and cooperation regarding this matter, esteemed media professionals.”
In a political climate this chaotic and uncontrolled, where divisions are amplified daily, the media can do little. Please carry out the second responsibility yourselves, as government institutions—the primary actors—are the ones engaged in polarization. The role of the media is to reflect reality; it should not bear the burden of the government’s difficult tasks.
