Trump or Biden; Looking inside is the only solution to problems

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In the run-up to the US presidential election, some think that if Joe Biden wins, sanctions will be lifted and the dollar will fall, but if Trump stays in the White House, conditions will escalate, makes it much harder for Iran. Reviewing the background and positions of these two shows that neither Biden's election works wonders nor Trump has power to go over what he has done so far. Biden's stance on Iran, as explicitly published in his special note to the world a few weeks ago in CNN, shows a much smarter approach to…

The need to change the American paradigm in West Asia

PEJOURNAL - The Quincy think tank said in a report that the current US hegemonic presence in the West Asian region has not only undermined its interests but also reduced its ability to counter threats. Quincy think tank experts report on US macro-foreign policy in West Asia They believe that the US National Security Agenda expires after 9/11. Today, with a variety of soft and semi-severe threats, including cyber-attacks or deadly viruses such as Corona, the increasing presence of heavy troops around the world is no longer justified by cost-effective calculations and does not serve America's vital interests. So it…

Desires of foreign actors in Afghanistan peace talks

PEJOURNAL - The lack of consensus among foreign actors on the Afghanistan peace talks, along with fundamental differences between the two sides, will pave the way for achieving a balance of actors' interests. Representatives of the Taliban and the Afghan government formally met for the first time since the signing of a US peace agreement with the Taliban in Qatar on September 13, 2010 to begin inter-Afghan peace talks. Although the Taliban and the Kabul government are parties to the talks, other countries in the region and beyond are both influencing the outcome of the talks and the outcome. This…

Biden Roadmap for Iran; Trump Strategy, Obama Tactics

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - US presidential and congressional elections are scheduled. At the moment, Biden's position, policy and roadmap towards Iran can also be attractive to Iranian audiences. So far, however, more than 60 million people have cast their ballots. Democratic candidate Joe Biden has been ahead of his Republican rival, Donald Trump, on paper. However, the experience of previous elections in the United States suggests that polls alone cannot predict a definite election victory. But Biden's relative chance of victory raises a number of questions about his policies and agenda in various areas, including foreign policy. For information…

Modeling in Iran’s regional strategy

PEJOURNAL - In this article, the modeling strategy in Iran's regional policy in West Asia is examined and the successes and limitations in this field are evaluated. The victory of the revolution set a precedent for the Islamic countries of West Asia to take steps to achieve their goals. The anti-arrogance and anti-authoritarian nature of the revolution was attractive to the oppressed nations of the region, and its continuation in the form of the Islamic Republic and resistance to foreign powers added to this attractiveness. Therefore, the modeling of some West Asian countries from Iran has continued with intensity and…

From Hegemony To Hedgemony

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - The RAND corporation has unveiled a unique defence planning and response project called “Hedgemony”. As is clear from the name, it is a play on the words “hegemony” and “hedging”, i.e. managing and insuring against risk. “Hedgemony. A Game of Strategic Choices” is a practical tool that RAND researchers have created to teach US specialists in defence and related areas. Its mission is to provide a better understanding of how different strategies could influence key planning factors in the sphere of trade at the intersection of force development, force management, force posture, and force employment.…

The axis of instability: The Azerbaijan-Israel alliance

BY: Yeghia Tashjian and Mona Issa PEJOURNAL - Israel functions as a US proxy in the Middle East, pushing for US foreign policy and interest against its enemies – today, Iran is the only country in the region challenging the US and opposing its policies. Iran, an oil-rich country stranded by sanctions, borders with the Persian Gulf which contains the world’s most important oil checkpoint – the Strait of Hormuz. Over 20% of the world’s crude oil supply passes through this checkpoint, making it a to-die-for geostrategic target for the US. Acknowledging resource-rich targets and aspiring to annex them to…

BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL - Tensions and clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region have resumed amid widespread evidence of the Zionists' provocation to rekindle the crisis between the two countries, both of which have close ties to Tel Aviv.The Zionists' many years of planning to infiltrate and establish a foothold in the Caucasus region is the main reason for blowing up Tel Aviv in the fire of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.The escalation of this conflict, while increasing the opportunity for the Zionists' intelligence presence under the pretext of helping the parties to the conflict, will…
