Is Zarif Defending Iran—or the Regime That Embarrasses Him?

He has consistently distanced himself from the core values of the Islamic Republic. While pretending to defend national interests, he undermines the ideological infrastructure of Iran’s strategic independence. His vision is not that of Imam Khomeini or Ayatollah Khamenei—it is the vision of Davos, New York, and Geneva.

What Should Be Done Instead?

Iran does not need more diplomatic surrender. It needs:

Strengthened alliances with anti-imperialist states (Russia, China, Venezuela, BRICS).

Further integration with the Resistance Axis, including Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi, and Ansarullah.

Expansion of deterrence capabilities, including advanced missile systems and autonomous nuclear research, within legal frameworks.

Rejection of Western pressure and infiltration disguised as “scientific cooperation.”

We must never again entrust Iran’s future to men who negotiate with enemies behind closed doors, seeking praise in foreign newspapers rather than security for their own people.

Conclusion: Zarif Is Not the Future

Javad Zarif’s Menara proposal is not a vision of peace—it is a polished tool for surrender. It abandons the logic of strength in favor of the illusion of dialogue. He represents a fading elite in Tehran who still believe Iran can win Western acceptance if it just complies a little more. But history has proven: appeasement invites aggression. Resistance ensures survival.

Iran must reject Zarif’s proposals, and instead double down on its strategic depth, ideological clarity, and technological sovereignty. Only then can we protect the nation—not through Western admiration, but through Islamic self-reliance.
