Iranian paper touts success in US talks with few concessions
A hardline Iranian daily described recent negotiations in Oman as a clear demonstration of Iranian strength and American weakness.
In its Sunday edition, Javan newspaper wrote Tehran dictated “the type of talks, their timing, location and agenda,” portraying Washington’s participation as a sign of strategic need, not strength.
“The key point in these negotiations is that all of Iran’s conditions were imposed,” the editorial read.
The paper also welcomed the absence of European powers from the discussions, calling it a strategic victory that removed what it described as “tools of American pressure” in past negotiations.
It further wrote US military threats against Iran had become an empty “publicity bluff,” citing past conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan as evidence of limited US appetite for confrontation.
In a nod to Iran’s internal political alignment, Javan suggested that efforts to divide Iranian institutions had failed, adding that “Parliament, the judiciary, and the administration are now moving in tandem.”
