PNN – The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council announced that the 10-point agreement proposed in the negotiations between Iran and the United States is considered a success for Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, in a new analysis of the process of stopping the United States’ aggressive war against Iran, likened the situation to a complex chess game, warning that the current equations are much more fragile than the media imagines.
Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel: The conflict between Iran and the United States has stopped for the time being, and both sides, as usual, declared their victory. But the main winner at this stage was common sense, the same element that was severely damaged by the White House’s threatening statements about the destruction of Iranian civilization in one day.
Referring to US President Donald Trump’s agreement to enter into negotiations on a 10-point plan, he assessed this as a success for the Iranian side. Medvedev clarified: The main question is whether Washington will really accept this plan? A plan whose axes include compensation for the damages inflicted on Iran, the continuation of the nuclear program, and the exercise of Tehran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
The former Russian president, however, considered the answer to this question negative and predicted: It is obvious that the Americans will not accept these conditions. Accepting such a plan would be humiliating for them and would be considered a definite victory for Iran.
Warning about “Zugzhuang”
Medvedev, arguing that Trump lacks the will and ability to engage in a protracted war of attrition, saw the middle option as maintaining a “fragile ceasefire” and pretending things were normal. He used the chess term “zugzhuang” to describe the current situation, a situation in which a player, lacking a useful move, is forced to make a move that weakens his position.
Medvedev, however, pointed out the destructive role of the Zionist regime as another player in this chess game in his analysis, writing: There are not only two players in this chess game. There is a third player, Israel, who does not necessarily play on American soil. Israel does not need a ceasefire and still sees its goals unfulfilled. This regime is fully capable of making an independent and dangerous move: to completely erase all the pieces from the board.
The Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council, noting that this possibility has plunged the future of the region into a halo of uncertainty and instability, concluded his message to Europe by saying: That is why the Russophobic and stupid European politicians must prepare themselves for a long period of economic austerity. Because there will be no more cheap oil.
