Shargh Newspaper: US election is a victory for the angry masses<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An editorial in Sharq Newspaper today assess the US presidential election results after Donald Trump\u2019s victory. The Editorial holds that the winner of this election is the angry masses in the US, and loser the unaware elites. In the US presidential election, the battle for this office was not the regular partisan fight, but it was rather a battle between what America was, and what it is going to be\u2014with the first group proud of America’s status quo, and the second group seeking for a better America. The former had the power and the media, while the latter only had hope [hope in Persian means Omid, which is the name of Rouhani\u2019s coalition as well]– hope for a better economy, hope for more jobs and more comprehensive security. Trump did not create these divisions but was their outcome. This hope manifested itself in a person who is defiant, independent and unorthodox. In spite of having billions of dollars, Trump is seen as the savior of the poor and those who are suffering from economic, political and social and identity crises in American society. Disregarding the correctness or incorrectness of election, what is important is that the masses eventually triumphed over the elite, and Trump\u2019s economic flair could spot the needs and issues of the society and could come up with attractive solutions for them. The editorial mostly reflects the vision of an Iranian \u201creformist\u201d about Trump\u2019s victory in the presidential election. The \u201creformist\u201d editorialist sees this as a global trend to dismiss the elite monopoly over power, and listen to those members of the community who are more involved with realities of society and its fundamental qualities.<\/p>\n

Arman Newspaper: Trump will not be able to ignore the nuclear deal<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arman Newspaper’s editorial today predicts the new American president position toward the nuclear deal and discusses different possible ways of dealing with Iran. The editorial says that Trump had to reiterate his slogans over and over again to woo voters and at the same time to comply with his party\u2019s demands, but some slogans would not be implemented. On the other hand, Trump does not support the nuclear deal with Iran, and his election would create concern about the future of the deal. However, what strengthens Iran’s position is that the nuclear deal is a multilateral international agreement with permanent members of UN Security Council and Germany \u2013 which, accordingly, makes the US committed to following the decisions of the UN Security Council. If one government signs an international agreement, and then the next one adopts 180-degree different approach to its predecessor’s policies and commitments, then there will be no need for international laws. The nuclear deal had been carried out, and cannot be annulled. However, it is possible to implement some sanctions on Iran under various guises. According to US Congress resolutions, not implementing new sanctions on Iran depends on observing human rights in Iran, and not supporting international terrorism, but it is possible for Trump administration to implement sanctions on Iran under other different names. The editorialist expresses his concerns about the impact of Trump victory on the Middle East issues while pointing out to critical conditions in Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Afghanistan. US interests are not in conflict with those of Iran in both Afghanistan and Iraq. But as for Syria, even the opposition of Bashar al-Assad may have reached the conclusion that the Syrian crisis needs diplomatic solutions. About Yemen, the Americans themselves have expressed their concerns, asking for attacks to stop. Such policies will continue during Trump\u2019s presidency, and there will be some convergence in the interests of the US and Iran in fighting ISIS and in Afghanistan and, to some extent, in Iraq. Trump’s victory pleased the rightists of Europe, and, to some extent, the Iranian fundamentalists are not dissatisfied with this triumph. They believe that just as Trump will show more militancy in his foreign policies, this would create more conflict or hostility between the US and Iran. Nevertheless, the editorialist believes that Trump will not take any substantive measures in the Middle East for the time being, and even if he wants to, such measures will be postponed until next June. By then, Middle East has already seen sweeping changes. Perhaps, the last point made in the editorial refers to the possibility of change in the Iranian compass on the Iranian presidential election, since it is likely for the Iranian leadership to introduce a hardliner candidate as a substitute for Rouhani to deal with Trump.<\/p>\n

Donyai Eghtisad: Trump aftershocks on Iranian economy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today’s editorial in Donayi Eghtisad monitors consequences of Trump’s victory on Tehran\u2019s stock exchange and other Iranian markets. The editorial says that the Iranian market yesterday had a shock when Trump’s victory in the US elections was announced– with Iranian Stock Exchange index falling by 1460 points. This plummet has been unprecedented since March. What is more, the price of the dollar rose against the Iranian currency by 15 Tomans — now ranging from 3,500 to 3,600 Tomans, and surpassing the highest rate it reached last February. The gold price has also increased. Before the announcement of the election result, the global markets were optimistic about Hillary Clinton\u2019s win. That led to rising prices of essential products (such as food and gasoline), resulting in turn in an increase in related stock price in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The editorial is predicting a continued decline in the Iranian stock indexes, because, with Trump\u2019s victory, the US- Iran relations between will come under a lot of strain. According to the editorial, dollar price in Iran will continue to rise, which will put pressure on the Iranian economic sectors. However, Iranian economists hope that Trump as a businessperson and a billionaire will not make any decisions leading to collapse in the world markets. Again they expect continuous negative impact for the next four months to come.<\/p>\n
