Amid mounting regional fears over renewed military clashes, Iranian press assessments indicated on Sunday that the United States and the Zionist entity have made a definitive decision to launch a new round of war. Khorasan newspaper, closely associated with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, reported that analytical monitoring of the past week's developments suggests the path toward triggering the upcoming confrontation has already been settled in both Washington and Tel Aviv. In this context, the publication ruled out that the ongoing exchange of diplomatic messages between Tehran and Washington could yield tangible results before the anticipated clash erupts. It highlighted that Tehran, drawing on years of direct experience dealing with the United States, realizes such communications will likely have no practical impact until after the next confrontation unfolds. Nevertheless, the newspaper offered no concrete evidence confirming a final military decision, keeping its conclusions within the realm of analytical projections. Concurrently, the paper criticized domestic political polarization in Iran, noting that reformists tied their political survival for decades to negotiations with Washington, while rivals anchored their future to rejecting engagement with the West, amid continuous Iranian debates regarding diplomacy.
