SAEDNEWS: As Iran emerges from a 12-day confrontation with Israel, political voices warn against internal discord and urge all factions to defend national unity against both foreign aggression and domestic disarray.
According to Saed News, the recent round of military escalation with Israel has served as a defining moment of national solidarity, bringing together a politically fractured society under the banner of shared resistance. Despite deep-rooted grievances and internal criticisms, Iranians across the spectrum rallied to defend their homeland, temporarily setting aside disputes to safeguard the integrity of the nation.
Political analyst and commentators note that Israel’s objective—beyond the battlefield—was psychological: to provoke internal chaos through targeted assassinations, psychological warfare via media outlets like Iran International, and the stoking of mass protests. Yet, the effort fell short. The Iranian populace, despite economic hardship and political frustration, largely resisted the bait, responding with calm and resolve.
The article highlights Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s role in reinforcing national cohesion, particularly through his symbolic gestures during Ashura. His emotional appearance and the invocation of patriotic anthems were interpreted by many as a signal of moral unity and spiritual steadfastness in times of national trial.
However, the piece also decries internal divisions that quickly resurfaced. It criticizes media outlets and politicians who, in its view, undermine diplomatic overtures and propagate division for partisan gains. President Pezeshkian’s recent interview with U.S. pundit Tucker Carlson is cited as a rational, well-targeted attempt to reframe Iran’s position to an American audience. Still, domestic detractors accused him of betrayal, exposing what the author sees as a persistent failure of political maturity.
In conclusion, the article calls for a renewed commitment to "insight and rationality"—principles emphasized by Iran’s leadership—and urges judicial authorities to curb what it describes as destructive rhetoric. It is, the piece argues, a critical moment to preserve the “smile of Iran” from withering beneath the weight of internal sabotage.
