Iranians Rally at Home and Abroad, Shattering Enemy Calculus

According to Saed News, the recent 12‑day confrontation with Israel yielded two unexpected dividends: a surge in national solidarity and a newfound regional consensus around Iran’s security role. Farhikhtegan’s analysis underscores that while the adversary sought to sow division, Iranians instead demonstrated unparalleled unity—both on the streets of Tehran and among expatriate communities. Military exercises, once the sole province of the armed forces, have given way to public displays of solidarity that broadcast Iran’s social resilience to the world.

Keyhan’s editorial highlights the Supreme Leader’s appearance at the Ashura night ritual as a dramatic rebuff of external pressure. International media and world capitals took notice: Iran’s deterrent posture remains undiminished, its nuclear and missile programs continue, and the much‑vaunted “24‑hour collapse” gambit has been laid to rest. The piece argues that President Trump’s strategy has faltered, leaving the U.S. and its allies grappling with an emboldened Iran determined to survive by strength.

Meanwhile, Iran newspaper’s interview with West Asia expert Abbas Khameyar reveals an unprecedented shift among Arab states. Once cautious, their governments now publicly back Tehran, viewing Iran’s military power as the lone bulwark against regional fragmentation and foreign designs. Khameyar traces this realignment to Israel’s faltering image in the Arab world and the collapse of traditional shields—most notably, the fall of Assad’s Syria in 2024.

Finally, former diplomat Mohammad Hassan Ghadiri tells Jam‑e‑Jam that any notion of a U.S.‑orchestrated coup is wishful thinking. He argues that negotiations with Washington have historically served only to expose American duplicity, and that the latest hostilities have instead reinforced public awareness of the “Zionist–U.S.” axis’s designs. In Ghadiri’s view, the Islamic Republic’s political system is structurally immune to such plots—a fact further cemented by the wartime surge in popular unity.
