When Russia sees its own interests, it turns into an enemy in disguise of a friend. Russia has betrayed Iran and Iranians more than any other countries.<br \/>\nThe editorial then enumerates cases in which Iran was betrayed by Russia: forcing Iran to sign infamous Turkmenchay and Golestan Treaties; attacking Iran during the World War II and occupying northern Iran despite its being neutral; suppressing Iranian constitutionalists during the Constitutional Revolution that could have moved Iran towards freedom and civilization; backing Saddam Hossein during Iran-Iraq war; hesitating in building Bushehr nuclear power plant; etc.<br \/>\nThe editorial then adds: now that sanctions against Iran are about to begin, Russia is standing by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to increase oil production which means getting along with sanctions. This measure can by no means be described as being in line with strategic cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes: Alexander Novak, Russian Energy Minister, recently said his country, if needed, will increase its oil production. This means that Iran made a mistake in the contemporary time by putting all its eggs in the basket of Russia.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanoondaily.ir\/fa\/news\/main\/110038\"> An editorial in Ghanoon daily on September 18, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Russia; strategically or deceitful friend?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Setarh Sobh newspaper ponders on why Iran cannot trust countries like Russia as its allies.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, the U.S. pulling out of the nuclear deal and resuming the sanctions against Iran have created a difficult situation, and Iranian statesmen think that the only way out of this crisis is through the cooperation of their allies \u2013i.e. China and Russia. It seems, however, that countries China and Russia &#8212; that previously approved of six resolutions of UN Security Council against Iran &#8212; have left it high and dry once again and are standing by the U.S. sanctions against Iran\u2019s oil.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: unprecedented trip of Chinese officials to the Gulf countries in recent months, as well as Russia\u2019s cooperation with Saudi Arabia and the U.S. to compensate for the decrease in Iran\u2019s oil export are some examples of these countries breaching Iran\u2019s trust. During past years, these two countries have used Iran to their own intentions and purposes, and they have left Iran alone in the dire situation. And today instead of standing by Iran as an ally, they are trying to use the U.S. pressures against Iran to their own advantages.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: this is not only true about oil sanction, but also about the Syrian crisis. Russian officials\u2019 remarks as to exit of foreign forces &#8212; including Iran\u2019s &#8212; from Syria are one of the green lights of this country to the White House. Under these conditions, the question is if it is still allowed to rely on Russia\u2019s fragile commitments? How can Iranian statesmen still trust Russia?<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes: what Iranian officials have not learned is preserving and providing Iran\u2019s national interests. They must know that there are countries around Iran that are ready to take any measures against Iran to provide their own national interests. And these countries have proved again and again that when it comes to their national interests, they will renege on their written and unwritten commitments with Iran.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.setaresobh.ir\/fa\/news\/main\/35748\"> An editorial in Setareh Sobh on September 17, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Roots of corruption in the economy<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Tejarat online focuses on the roots of corruption, particularly in Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government.<br \/>\nCorruption \u2013 be it governmental, political or bureaucratic \u2013 will have undesirable outcomes for the economy. That is why this issue is seriously confronted in developed countries and even if the countries\u2019 authorities are corrupted, they will be put on trial. The experience of the countries inflicted with this \u2018chronic disease\u2019 shows that the large body of the government, the existence of governmental and pseudo-governmental companies, and dominance of governmental economy have been the main causes.<br \/>\nThe editorial then continues: taking a look at the records of past governments in Iran shows that Iran has been inflicted by corruption for years. But the level of corruption has fluctuated in a different government. In 9th and 10th governments [during Ahmadinejad], it was bureaucratic corruption that increasingly grew in Iran, but during past 5 years, it has changed into political corruption in Rouhani\u2019s government.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: currently, the society is involved in and witnessing two types of corruption: bureaucratic and political. Since the beginning of turbulence in the currency market and problems in registering orders for certain products in Iran, political corruption took place through a penetration in the government in higher levels of decision-making for rent-seeking; that became possible through the collusion of individuals with certain powerful groups to gain huge profit.<br \/>\nIn the end, the editorialist holds that if Iranian government had prepared the ground for the further presence of the private sector, the economy would be healthier, and the created added value would result in growth and development of the country.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tejaratonline.ir\/fa\/news\/65889\"> An editorial in Tejarat online on September 16, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Europeans back JCPOA only in words<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Asr-e Iranian newspaper deals with how Europeans haven\u2019t fulfilled their promises with regard to the nuclear deal (JCPOA) with Iran, after the U.S. pulling out of this international accord.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, after the U.S. \u2018illegally and subversively\u2019 pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran, the European Union claimed that it will continue to support the nuclear deal with Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian officials accepted to remain committed to their obligations within the deal, only if Iran\u2019s interests are provided in the JCPOA without the U.S. presence.<br \/>\nThe editorial asserts: however, despite the fact that Europeans make promises as to being committed to and backing the nuclear deal with Iran, in practice, we are witnessing that big European countries &#8212; that signed cooperation agreements with Iran after the implementation of JCPOA &#8212; have left Iran. And even though there are two months left to the implementation of the U.S. oil sanctions against Iran, European countries have cut their purchase of Iranian oil by 40%.<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes: European countries have only backed the nuclear deal in a word so that they force Iran to stay committed to its obligations and not develop its nuclear industry. And at the same time, pressures and sanctions against Iranian people and government continue so that Washington\u2019s policies against Tehran are implemented.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asre-iranian.ir\/newspaper\/page\/2532\/1\/34864\/0\"> An editorial in Asr-e Iranian on September 16, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Illusion of power!<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Jahan Sanat focuses on Rouhani\u2019 misconceptions about power and his own position as president.<br \/>\nThe editorial asserts: nowadays the performance and destiny of Rouhani\u2019s government are one of the most important questions in Iranian society. Rouhani has disappointed many of his supporters and now has to face with those who regret voting for him. Those who still support Rouhani point out to political structure in Iran, saying that the president\u2019s powers are not compatible with his duties. There is some truth in this, but to what extent can we agree with it?<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: Hassan Rouhani isn\u2019t inexperienced in Iran\u2019s political arena. He was an influential figure from the beginning of Iranian revolution. He was in the parliament for several terms, has the experience of membership in Expediency Council and Assembly of Experts and perhaps, more importantly, he was Secretary of Supreme National Security Council. All these have made him familiar with the ups and downs of power in the Islamic Republic. Therefore, he should have known about challenges ahead of his programs when he made big promises during his presidential campaign.<br \/>\nIn the end, the editorialist suggests that this issue points to a bigger problem in Iranian politics. For political groups and individuals, coming to power means everything. They think that when they come to power, they can create whatever changes they want to. This is where Rouhani\u2019s confidence was coming from when he was making big promises to people before the election.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jahansanat.ir\/newspaper\/index.php?newsid=128042\"> An editorial in Jahan Sanat on September 13, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5061\" src=\"https:\/\/rasanah-iiis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/news.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Iranian Ambassador to the Netherlands: Can Europe trust Trump?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5526\" src=\"https:\/\/rasanah-iiis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Iran.Ambassador-610x405.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"982\" height=\"652\" \/><br \/>\nAlireza Jahangiri, Iranian Ambassador to the Netherlands, gave a speech among a group of Dutch elites including politicians, businessmen, former diplomats, and journalists.
