Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
What does a senior Iranian official say? The war of minds and wills is approaching its end in Masqat
Written by Nasser Kandil,
There was not any valuable or an important attempt for the negotiation whether directly or indirectly as the negotiations of the five plus one, because it is the beginning of the West’s confession of a search for a serious political solution for the crisis with Iran, which its nuclear file constitutes a title that contains its elements but not summarizes them.
The negotiations which held in Masqat were not within the negotiations of five plus one like the others, they are among a triple America, Europe, and Iran and at the level of the foreign ministers, they occurred before fifteen days of the agreed deadline of the final agreement, or it is an extension of the period which all the parties disagree on it, or an announcing of the failure which all insist on that it is no longer acceptable, after the progress which transcends the percentage of ninety percent as the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. The negotiations are taking place in the capital of Oman Masqat which has the characteristic of understanding, since it is a special common friend with Iran, and which Iran wants to grant it a reward, on the contrary to his peers and his Gulf neighbors which they always were one of the elements of the American, Iranian, and European conflict. The west’s acceptance to hold the negotiations in Masqat is the starting point to distribute the understanding rewards before it happens. In addition these negotiations are the outcome of the discussions and sequential correspondences which started in New York, Geneva, and then Vienna. They include respectively the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif , the American Foreign Minister John Kerry, and the European Commissioner Karen Ashton, culminated by the message of the American President to the Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei.
The years of the negotiations of five plus one have witnessed stages of the tension between Washington and Tehran for making a force balance that formulates the negotiation, and finding facts that impose their presence in the nuclear file, and the region files which are important for the negotiation’s parties, and which presented by the Middle East. Despite of the relentless pursuit of the parties to avoid the confrontation, but these tensions have reached a degree of sharpness, destination, and existence that some of which have surpassed the risk of war. So if the Israeli war against Hezbollah in 2006 was a war of breaking bones, then the war against Syria is a war of breaking the backbone.
Consequently, the typical data has led to an agreement. At the level of the technical file of Iran’s possession of the peaceful nuclear ability, Iran as well as the negotiation have surpassed the roof of enrichment, which was in the beginning an acquired right to Iran, then it surpassed the stage of the theoretical right that is memorized in the minds of the scientists, and becomes a practical right. Now the negotiations are about the detailed aspects that related to the numbers of the centrifugal reactors which Iran is going to operate. So the compromising solutions are going to be a fact. As a result the Public Opinion in the West, the political forces in the regime and the opposition have prepared for the idea of dealing with Iran as a qualified member in the Nuclear Association.
In examining the main contradiction which controls the most important region in the world in which Iran is in its center, and the sights of America and Europe are towards it. The three decades of the confrontation have passed between first, a stage in which Iran sees the contradiction between the people’s will towards the freedom and the juggernaut will of the international arrogance, and an American vision of the conflict between a good axis which it leads and an evil axis which includes its opponents including Iran. The second stage, which Iran sees it through the conflict between the resistance and Israel, which is an extorter, occupier, and aggressor entity, and which America sees it through the conflict which is waded by the liberal camps, which Israel is in its forefront against the extremism and the terrorism which Washington sees it in the resistance forces. In the Arab Spring, Washington tries to show the issue through changing the regime in Syria under the slogan of following the track of the democracy, while Iran sees the war against it a beginning of dismantling the dominated entities in the region and divided them according to sects and doctrines, where Israel will be the first beneficiary.
Third, the extremism and the terrorism which are represented by Al-Qaeda which is secretly and publically hidden under the concept of Revolutions, This the first time when there is a united examining of determining the main contradiction through the confrontation which is supposed to agitate all the international and the regional forces to eradicate the threat of the atoning terrorism, that attract all its followers from all over the world to establish an international atoning settler entity in the most sensitive regions between the rivers of Tigris and Euphrates.
Under the circumstances of these changes, something has occurred regarding the major issues in the region which Iran is in its center, and the sights of America and Europe are towards it, that allowed the managing of the disagreements. For example in the main conflict about Palestine and the resistance choice, the American conflict and the recognition can be linked with the impossibility of Iran to give up of its choices and the support of the resistance forces. Iran has not conceived that there will be an American change in making Israel in its priorities, but what happened to Israel in its deterrent ability and what has happened to the resistance through the intergradations of its relations with each other, have made the wars an inaccessible threat, and probably made their acceptance of the variant options dull and absent in the confrontation and the blowing up yards. In Syria the bets on ( a strong capable moderate opposition) have gone away, and the choice becomes exclusively or almost between the terrorism and the country. The political solution is based on the admission of the presence of the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, and the formation of a government that includes the oppositional components of the terrorism, and which is translated by the endeavor of the UN Envoy that is capable of establishing an acceptable common basis. In the Gulf, Iran is trying to make a realistic policy with the neighboring countries that removes the hostility among them, but at the same time it depends on the realism in reading the magnitudes and the roles. While Washington seems to be shocked with the limited abilities of its allies, comparing with their promises and claims concerning the war on the terrorism. In the light of the Yemeni variables, and in the north of the region, Tehran and Washington meet on the understanding about the importance of taking the Turkish privacy into consideration, without illusions after they have experienced with it.
All of these mean, that the high interests of the two most important countries in making politics in the Middle East call for the optimism, only if what or who is making the politics in Washington are non Americans, especially in the election time, and this is contrary to what was in the message of Obama to the Supreme Leader.
The war of minds and wills is approaching its end; Iran will be satisfied with achieving the results of the stability for a region that does not bear the childish tests, and it will not feel with the remorse in the case of failure, because it spent everything needed to reach an understanding, so it will be ready for all the possibilities, especially when it ensures that the country which tries to usurp the independent will of the world countries, does not do that for its sake, but for the account of whom usurped its will as an independent country
This was what the senior Iranian official has said in a meeting of senior makers of the negotiation and the war issues on the eve of Masqat’s meeting.
