Iran's "new" foreign policy: Not “Neither East nor West,” as Khomeini stated, but rather “More East and no West at all.” That shift is likely to define the future direction of Iranian foreign policy. If in the past the European states particularly the E3, played a meaningful role in mediating with Iran, today that role has increasingly shifted to regional actors led by Pakistan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Moreover, it is difficult to envision a return of the Europeans as central mediators after the snapback process, especially given the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the very institution that effectively dominates Iran today. Even if Europe does not disappear entirely from the diplomatic landscape, the emerging direction of the Iranian regime points elsewhere. Tehran is likely to place even greater emphasis on deepening ties with China and Russia, while simultaneously strengthening outreach to the Global South, particularly African states, preserving strategic relations with India, and cautiously expanding engagement with parts of the Gulf. In the foreseeable future, it is difficult to see Iran-EU relations recovering in any meaningful or strategic way. It is increasingly becoming “more East, with no West at all”, and that is likely to form the foundation of Iran’s future foreign policy orientation #iran

The UAE committed a massive mistake joining the Abraham Accords, which at its core was an attempt to build an Arab-Israeli alliance against Iran. That core has become unmistakable now as a result of Israel and the US's war on Iran. This was a mistake by the UAE because it meant that the Emirates attached itself to Israel's enmity with Iran, which runs deeper than the Emirates' tensions with Tehran, even though the Emirates is right next to Iran, while Israel is roughly 1,000 km from Iran. But Abu Dhabi is now trapped, and to some extent, the Iran war appears to have been aimed at forcing GCC states to move closer to Israel to seek protection from Iran. So in the midst of the war, Netanyahu secretly traveled to Abu Dhabi and offered the Emirates Iron Dome protection. This is what Israel considers a major breakthrough in their relationship. In reality, it is the manifestation of the trap that the Abraham Accords have become for the Emirates. apnews.com/article/netany…




🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday accused the United Arab Emirates of playing an active role on the U.S.-Israeli side in their war on Iran. “The UAE is an active partner in this aggression, and there is no doubt about it,” Araghchi said while attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi, India. “It also became clear that they participated in these attacks and may have even acted directly against us.” Araghchi also pointed to reports of what Israel described as a “secret” meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the UAE, a visit Abu Dhabi denies took place.
