West’s Fear of Iran-China Agreement

The Western media’s lobbying in Iranian media has not ever shown itself in the past five decades as of today.

The release of news on Iran and China’s 25-year strategic accord and different opinions on this issue showed us that the accord can dry up all the al-most-one-century-long political, economic, cultural and social roots which have been planted and cherished by the Westerners in Iran as they had once pinned hope that they bear fruits. Amid this huge media hype, some used to compare the accord with Treaty of Turkmenchay (a treaty signed between Iran and Russia in 1828) and ultimately these piercing outcries are for the sake of drying up of those roots.

When we look at the text of the Iran-China accord deeply, we realize that there is nothing in it to threaten Iran’s national interests and all hypes and media propagandas which had been started by the West-oriented people, especially the U.S. and its allies, against this accord are like fuss for “much ado about nothing”.

In a simple analysis, one can find out that the significance and importance of this accord and to what extent it is reliable and what a blow it is practically on the Western governments’ policies and especially the U.S.’s against Iran. In case the result of this accord means the collapse of the U.S. sanctions against Iran, so the U.S. and its allies are right to organize such media hype against Iran. Is not failure of the seeds planted by the West and managed by the British in Iran for encouraging Iranian nation to revolt against the Islamic Revolution anything but to destroy a very-long term achievement?

The approach of the West and its allies in the region and their opposition against Iran and China’s 25-year accord proves that the route which has been chosen by Iranians  for cooperation with the East is deep and it has received well response and they should continue the very route, and even in case the door for cooperation with other countries is to open, they should still keep this relation and not to leave bargain mode for choosing the best in order that this time a stronger condition is created for economic foundation of the country.

Reports released on the reactions from European countries, India, South Korea and Turkey all indicate this point that they were waiting for a certain definition for political change that the West had determined it but how much has this accord been effective in overturning their fictitious tower?

India which had signed the deal with Iran years ago for developing Chabahar Port has failed in observing its obligation and claims it cannot transfer money into Iran and it actually did begin the project. Is not it that imaginary anticipation that the Westerners had made for the Indians? As soon as Indians found out that Iranians might hand over the project to the Chinese, they took action and sent messages to Iranians that they were ready to dispatch a delegation for the project and even they said they were ready to transfer the budget of the project in cash. If we do not say it was the result of Iran and China’s accord, so what we can call it?

Even following the release of report on Iran-China accord, South Korea has sent a message to Iran via a third party that $7b of Iran’s frozen money is in South Korean banks and they are ready to start negotiations with Iran over the transfer of the money to Iran.

Is there anyone who has been unaware of this point that before the release of report on Iran-China accord, South Koreans had frozen Iran’s money and they refrained from talking about it with Iranians? Even Europeans have decided to resume the projects which had been left incomplete for years and they claim that they have found a way for transfer of money to Iran through the financial mechanism INSTEX.

Some other countries have contacted with Iran’s embassies and restored friendly relations and have claimed that Americans have let them release some part of Iran’s money on some conditions. In fact, all these actions have not been take without the U.S. consent and will not also be, because politicians in those countries are not ready at any condition to take action without the U.S. approval and to pursue the route for dry the Western culture.

With seeing huge reactions to Iran-China deal, one can weigh how the amount of cultural, political and intelligence investment of the West in Iran is deep and what antidote can dry this Western investment.

The ideological principles of the Islamic Republic have been taken shape based on the slogan of “Neither East, Nor West” but due to the subcutaneous propagations of the West in Iran during the past four decades, some governments, influenced by the Western culture, have taken office and they have not let the country wipe out this octopus-like epidemic in the culture and mind.

Initiative for creating balance in eastern and western criteria will undoubtedly reduce the sediment of West-orientation sickness, and a balanced wisdom, it will save the people from West-orientation drowsiness and will push them to think of independence in their souls and deeds.

Regardless of this point that China’s interests lie on using its forex reserves, which is confined in the U.S., in favor of the West Asia which is the energy production hub of the world, China’s strategy in transfer of global economy leadership from the West to Asia needs some beds which are actually seen in abundance in the region; and undoubtedly, China’s sagacity  has acquired it, and activating the agreement with Iran is definitely the beginning for this thought and performance.
