Javan newspaper, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), criticized in an editorial remarks by Masoud Pezeshkian about an agreement with the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates to “put aside the past” and build a better future. The editor of Javan wrote that the president’s remarks reflect the position of an official office and that “foreign policy is not a realm for personal emotions.”

The editor of Javan, by accusing the Gulf Arab countries of “hostility” toward Iran, called on their leaders to accept responsibility for their past behavior and emphasized that Tehran should not take the lead in putting the past aside. He also questioned the guarantee of a change in the behavior of the United Arab Emirates and wrote that trust is not formed through a “good dialogue,” but rather requires observable and assessable actions.

In the end, the writer, with claims of a “victory in the war” and the Islamic Republic having the “upper hand,” called for “demanding” positions by officials. He also emphasized that Pezeshkian’s rhetoric should be aligned with the stances of other senior figures, including Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Mohsen Rezaei, and Abbas Araghchi.
