Despite the scattered efforts to reduce tensions, Washington still sees Tehran as a threat to its regional interests, while Iran views the policies of the United States and its allies as attempts to weaken its strategic situation.
In this context, the pressure of the American and Israeli regime to prevent the peaceful development of the Iranian nuclear program increased, claiming that Iran’s future capabilities are a potential threat. On the other hand, the logic of deterrence is a major element in Iranian national security strategies, especially since the main forces and regional competitors have nuclear weapons, while Iran, despite adhering to international obligations, is still a target of continuous international pressure.
Today, Iran stands at a decisive turning point that requires a comprehensive strategy – the Military Determine Merging, effective diplomacy and economic independence.
Nuclear deterrence and defense doctrine
Despite Iran’s focus on the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, Western pressures and the continuous threats of Tehran forced to reconsider defense strategies. Iran’s policies must be based on the following principles:
Development of peaceful nuclear technology as an inaccurate right, as well as enhance the traditional defense capabilities to create a deterrent balance.
Developing ballistic missile capabilities and fine cruises to enhance strategic deterrent systems.
Improving air defense and electronic warfare systems to counter air and missile threats.
Diversify strategic alliances
Iran must strengthen relations with major powers such as China and Russia to ensure diplomatic support and reach advanced military technologies.
Moreover, defense cooperation with allied countries within the resistance axis must expand to create a joint regional deterrent system.
Another important step is to invest in economic relations with neutral countries to reduce dependence on the Western financial system.
Enhancing economic capabilities to confront sanctions
Iran should focus on developing local military and economic industries to reduce the impact of sanctions.
At the same time, it should create alternative commercial mechanisms by using local currencies and trade barter with allies.
Reducing dependency on the public budget on oil exports by diversifying sources of income and strengthening non -oil sectors such as manufacturing, technology and agriculture is another effective option. It can make the policy of reducing dependency on oil, such as the economic governance, the country is more flexible to international pressure and reduce the direct impact of Western sanctions.
Political messages to the West and the Israeli regime
It is necessary to remind Western powers that the ownership of nuclear weapons is not limited to traditional powers, and many international players have gained such capabilities. In this context, despite the multiple security threats faced by the Shiites, they are still deprived of this option. Likewise, the Israeli regime, which has an unannounced nuclear arsenal, cannot limit Iran’s choice of defense strategies.
Moreover, the West must be to understand that the constant pressure on Iran will only enhance its intention to enhance its defensive capabilities. Iran realizes that the United States only respects countries with elements of real power, as shown in its dealings with North Korea and China. US foreign policy shows that power is the decisive factor in its interactions with countries. Iran and many other countries have been familiar with that information for a long time.
