An analytical approach to Iran-China Strategic Document

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi and Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The signing of the 25-year roadmap for comprehensive strategic cooperation between Iran and China, as expected, was met with a wave of marginalization based on distortion of reality by various currents inside and outside the country. The beginning of the drafting of this upstream document, on which Iran and China have agreed as a roadmap for the realization of comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two countries, coincided with the official visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Iran on February 23, 2016. At the time, Tehran and Beijing issued a joint statement…

Sanctions must be neutralized, and the first step in foreign relations should be taken toward neighbors

PEJOURNAL - We have approached Mr. "Rostam Ghasemi" to ask questions to review the various dimensions of his personality, record and plans as someone who considers himself qualified to accept the responsibility of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The details of this conversation are as follows: I think since you have talked less with the media so far, it is better to have a brief introduction of yourself first. In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. I have been working for a long time in the field of construction in different parts of Iran as…

New missions by Washington allies to delay withdrawal from Iraq

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Recent developments in Iraq point to a complex scenario in which Joe Biden, as the former director of the new Middle East project in the Barack Obama administration, is working on a project to "divide West and Southwest Asia" to survive in the region. The scenario comes as the United States is required by the Iraqi parliament to withdraw its terrorist forces following the assassination of resistance commanders by Donald Trump. The work plan presented by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin at the outset. However, it shows that the Pentagon is not serious about…

West Asia on the path to nuclear proliferation

PEJOURNAL - A recent report from CSIS on the think tank's "nuclear program" lists the trends that lead to the development of nuclear weapons, claiming that US misguided policies have encouraged Turkey and Saudi Arabia in West Asia to pursue nuclear weapons technology. The Center for Strategic and International Studies ( CSIS ) was established in 1962 with a focus on areas related to US national security. The think tank's board of trustees is currently headed by Thomas Pritzker, a major American financier and hotelier. John Hammer, who served as Deputy Secretary of Defense from 1993 to 1997, also manages…

The U.S. and allies have done little but inflamed West Asia

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - Heiko Maas, Mike Pompeo, and people like them with their rabid policy announcements and ignorant fantasies try to give the impression of aiming for something positive and calming to a world and especially to a West Asia wracked by discord, but in fact they and their kind are doing just the opposite. “Inflaming” might be the best word for what they do and have long done. Heiko Maas, Germany’s foreign minister, must be crazy, literally. Or just a blind twit, like so many others in the “Western” establishment of lily-white bigots, racists and Christian imperialists. …

Reviving Turkey’s role in Yemen; Its advantages and risks

PEJOURNAL - Turkey's neo-Ottoman foreign policy in West Asia in recent years has made the country one of the most important and interfering players in regional changes. Although in these interventions, the pragmatism of this country has been preferred to the ideological dimension of foreign policy as in the past, but behind such an approach, supporting the currents close to the Muslim Brotherhood and the alliance with Qatar in the region has been very important. And for this reason, the type of convergences and divergences of this country in West Asia is largely influenced by Brotherhood tendencies. The kind of…

How do the North American elections influence West Asia?

BY: Valeria Rodriguez PEJOURNAL - While there are conflicting positions in West Asia between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Qatar, there are likely to be some changes, but not substantive, in the United States' relationship with West Asia. The relationship with Israel is historic as it is considered a satellite state of the United States. With Trump's administration the relationship was practically carnal, the United States supported each of the violations of international law by Israel. Some examples of this were the transfer of the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Deal of the Century…

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…

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…
