The "Diplomatic Sedation" Approach

In the wake of the immense loss suffered by the Axis of Resistance, critical questions arise regarding the role played by recent diplomatic tracks. Data indicates that the Pezeshkian government, led by foreign policy architect Abbas Araghchi, engaged in a new round of "de-escalation" attempts with the West, based on false American and European promises of a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon in exchange for Iranian restraint. This diplomatic climate provided—intentionally or unintentionally—a political cover that enabled the Zionist enemy to execute strategic assassinations targeting the leadership hierarchy of the Resistance.
Evidence and facts accumulate to reveal that the diplomatic path pursued by Masoud Pezeshkian’s government was not merely a political failure, but a strategic shroud that allowed the enemy to carry out major assassinations. Through the alleged policy of "restraint" and falling for false American promises, Iranian diplomacy was transformed into a fatal security loophole.
The Timeline of Deception:
• July 2024: The first day of Pezeshkian’s presidency coincided with the assassination of Martyr Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Under American pressure and promises of a Gaza ceasefire, orders were issued not to retaliate, granting the occupation a green light to escalate aggression, eventually leading to the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
• October 2024: Following Israeli airstrikes on Iran, reports indicate that Pezeshkian personally demanded in the National Security Council that Iran not respond, assuming responsibility for this strategic retreat.
• February 2025: Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei described negotiation as "dishonorable, unwise, and irrational." Despite this explicit warning, the government insisted on launching negotiations a few weeks later, setting the stage for the June 2025 attacks that claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians, scientists, and leaders.
• December 2025: Direct intervention by the President's office to impose sudden economic decisions (exchange rate unification) led to bloody internal unrest that claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people, weakening the internal front against external threats.
On February 3rd , 2026, Pezeshkian appeared and posted this statement on his website:
In response to the requests of friendly countries in the region, he has directed the Foreign Minister to prepare the grounds for negotiations with the United States, provided they are fair, respect the principles of dignity, wisdom, and national interest, and are conducted in an atmosphere free from threats and unrealistic expectations.
Finally , on the 25th of February, 2026 ,Araghchi during an interview with ‘India Today’ he said the following :
‘If the leader was attacked we will choose another Leader’
Geopolitical Analysis:
The insistence of the Pezeshkian-Araghchi duo on negotiating despite public rejection from the Supreme Leadership reflects a state of detachment from field realities.
Historically, negotiations are used by Washington as an "information gathering" process and for target identification. Sending signals of weakness under the guise of "diplomacy" is what encouraged Trump and the Zionist entity to plan the next step: targeting the head of the leadership hierarchy and paralyzing infrastructure to plunge Iran into total chaos and civil war.
Position and Conclusion:
Pezeshkian bears direct responsibility for every drop of blood spilled as a result of "political naivety." Negotiating with an enemy that views dialogue as an opportunity to kill is a strategic crime. As this policy has led to the assassination of the Supreme Leader and potentially the collapse of national security, history will not forgive those who opened the door to infiltrators and sold out deterrence for the mirage of promises.
The Axis has paid a heavy price for trusting negotiation tracks managed by an American "mediator" that is completely biased toward the Zionist entity.
