Tehran pursuing ‘strategic patience’, Iran state media says
The Islamic Republic is adopting a policy of “strategic patience” in response to the reimposition of United Nations sanctions, Iran’s official IRNA news agency said on Thursday.
“Tehran sees the path forward in waiting for either a change in Western approaches or shifts in the political landscape,” IRNA wrote.
The agency cautioned that the risks are considerable, citing Israeli pressure and US efforts to bolster Tel Aviv.
Authorities in Tehran, according to the outlet, also view engagement with what it described as the US president’s maximalist demands as both endless and ineffective in advancing national interests.
