In a column titled ‘Why is the time on Iran’s side?’, the daily wrote today: “Considering all aspects, like international developments following the war of Ukraine and Taiwan, the energy shortage and increase in demand in the coming months, increase in prices and its political, economic and security consequences, our domestic power in neutralizing the sanctions, opening relations with foreign countries outside the Western Bloc, as well as the increase in the nuclear capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and achieving more defense and regional goals, everything indicates that time is in Iran’s favor. In the coming days and weeks, we will see that the leverage of the western side will lose influence and Iran’s pressure on the western side will become heavier. If the western side practices real-politics, it will find that the agreement today is better than the one of tomorrow. Because at least Joe Biden, the President of the United States, desperately needs an achievement to deliver in the upcoming elections in America.”
