صحيفة "سياسة روز" الإيرانية : تحالف #قطر و #تركيا يستهدف نفوذ طهران

Exclusive: Iran seeks give and take on Islamic State militants, nuclear program Sun, Sep 21 20:03 PM EDT image By Parisa Hafezi and Louis Charbonneau UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran is ready to work with the United States and its allies to stop Islamic State militants, but would like more flexibility on Iran's uranium enrichment program in exchange, senior Iranian officials told Reuters. The comments from the officials, who asked not to be named, highlight how difficult it may be for the Western powers to keep the nuclear negotiations separate from other regional conflicts. Iran wields influence in the Syrian civil war and on the Iraqi government, which is fighting the advance of Islamic State fighters. Iran has sent mixed signals about its willingness to cooperate on defeating Islamic State (IS), a hard-line Sunni Islamist group that has seized large swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq and is blamed for a wave of sectarian violence, beheadings and massacres of civilians. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said recently that he vetoed a U.S. overture to the Islamic Republic to work together on defeating IS, but U.S. officials said there was no such offer. In public, both Washington and Tehran have ruled out cooperating militarily in tackling the IS threat. But in private, Iranian officials have voiced a willingness to work with the United States on IS, though not necessarily on the battlefield. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that Iran has a role to play in defeating Islamic State, indicating the U.S. position may also be shifting. "Iran is a very influential country in the region and can help in the fight against the ISIL (IS) terrorists ... but it is a two-way street. You give something, you take something," said a senior Iranian official on condition of anonymity. "ISIL is a threat to world security, not our (nuclear) program, which is a peaceful program," the official added. Tehran rejects Western allegations that it is amassing the capability to produce atomic weapons under cover of a civilian nuclear energy program. Another Iranian official echoed the remarks. Both officials said they would like the United States and its Western allies to show flexibility on the number of atomic centrifuges Tehran could keep under any long-term deal that would lift sanctions in exchange for curbs on Tehran's nuclear program. "Both sides can show flexibility that will lead to an acceptable number for everyone," another Iranian official said. WEST WANTS TO KEEP ATOMIC TALKS SEPARATE Kerry held bilateral talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in New York for more than an hour on Sunday, a senior State Department official said. The meeting focused on the need to make progress in this week's nuclear talks and the threat of Islamic State. The official did not provide details on the discussions between Kerry and Zarif, who met for the first time a year ago on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly when Iran and six world powers reopened negotiations with Tehran. Western officials told Reuters that Iran has not raised this idea in nuclear negotiations with the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China that resumed in New York on Friday. Diplomats close to the talks say they are unlikely to settle in New York on a long-term accord that would lift sanctions in exchange for curbs on Iranian nuclear work. The Western officials said it would be difficult for them to even discuss the point in the atomic negotiations as the United States and its allies are determined to keep the nuclear negotiations focused exclusively on atomic issues as the Nov. 24 deadline for a deal nears. "We are seeing as we get closer to the end of the talks that the Iranians are tempted to bring other dossiers to the table," a senior Western diplomat said. "They sometimes indicate that if there were to not be a (nuclear) deal, the other dossiers in region would be more complicated," he added. "The six are determined not to bring the other subjects to the nuclear negotiations table." The New York talks among senior foreign ministry officials from the six powers and Iran are taking place on the sidelines of this week's annual gathering of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly. The number of nuclear centrifuges has emerged as the principal sticking point in negotiations, which are expected to continue in New York until at least Sept. 26. Centrifuges are machines that spin at supersonic speed to increase the ratio of the fissile isotope in uranium. Low-enriched uranium is used to fuel nuclear power plants, Iran's stated goal, but can also provide material for bombs if refined much further, which the West fears may be Iran's latent goal. Iran currently has over 19,000 centrifuges, though only around 10,000 of those are operational. The six powers want Iran to reduce the number of operational centrifuges to the low thousands, to ensure it cannot quickly produce enough bomb-grade uranium for a weapon, should it choose to do so. Iranians are keen to keep as many of their centrifuges as possible, and have also suggested that they could keep all 19,000 installed while maintaining a much smaller number in an operational state. Western officials say they dislike that idea. U.S. officials have made clear for months that the number of centrifuges they are willing to tolerate operating in Iran over the medium term would be in the low thousands to ensure that Tehran's ability to produce a usable amount of bomb-grade uranium, should it go down that road, is severely limited. Iran says such draconian limitations would be a violation of its right to enrich. Supreme Leader Khamenei has called that issue a "red line" for Tehran. Centrifuges are not the only sticking point in the talks. Others include the duration of any nuclear deal, the timetable for ending the sanctions, and the fate of a research reactor that could yield significant quantities of bomb-grade plutonium. Under a November 2013 interim deal, Iran froze some parts of its atomic program in exchange for limited sanctions relief. That agreement was intended to buy time for negotiations on a comprehensive deal that end the decade-long standoff with Iran and remove the risk of yet another war in the Middle East.

The newspaper considered that the choice of the Qatari capital of Doha, the first station to external Erdogan, underlines the importance of Doha in the region, and its importance in the equations of Turkish foreign policy. The newspaper said the Iranian that the gas reserves, which is owned by Qatar, and near Qatar Islamic currents Arabic, constitute the most important factors and motives of the alliance Turkish country in the region, and that this alliance will be more influential on the Syrian arena and Arabic, and that the interests of the Iranian strategy could be affected by this coalition which the newspaper described as "dubious and dangerous." In a related context, the newspaper said the Qatari Turkish talks, during Erdogan's visit to Doha, focused largely on the situation in Iraq and Syria, and how to rearrange the support of the Syrian opposition and Islamist groups fighting the regime in Syria. The newspaper claimed that "our ally Bashar al-Assad" is affected by this new project which aims to Syria, according to its expression. The paper claimed that what they described as "Turkey Alerdoganah" trying to restore the influence of the Ottomans and their role in the region, through the policies of Erdogan in Syria, Egypt and Libya and Palestine, and adds that Erdogan is trying with Arab allies the use of important issues and sensitive to Arabs and Muslims as an issue of Palestine, to promote the project aimed to re-Turkey's role in the troubled Middle East, because of the civil wars in Syria and Iraq. The opinion of the newspaper that Qatar and Turkey, and since the start of the Arab revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, the two "are trying to form the axis of Sunni Islamic equivalent of the Shiite crescent stretching from Tehran to Baghdad and Damascus, but this project collided with the Syrian regime, which has resisted this project Islamic suspicious, and faced terrorist groups and fighters Islamists backed diagonally and Turkey to topple the Syrian regime and legitimate President Bashar al-Assad, "she said. And stressed "the policy of the Rose," the strength and cohesion of the Iranian axis in the region, arguing that it can not back down to form the axis of Sunni Islamist-led Turkish and Qatar "in Syria, which has become the focus of conflict and Square confrontation between these two projects in the Middle East, Iran intervened with its weight there of the importance of Syria and its strategy in the Iranian axis extending from Tehran to Lebanon, "and added that the leadership of Hezbollah in Lebanon," I realized the seriousness of this axis Turkish Qatar on Syria and the whole region, and that this axis Qatari Turkish, who owns the media and economic resources enormous, if successful drop Bashar al-Assad in Syria, it will surely Imitdd to Lebanon and affect the existence of the resistance there. " And reached the newspaper to the conclusion that the survival of the Syrian regime is the most important fundamental obstacle to this axis and the National Alliance Turkish and Qatar depend on the currents of political and armed groups Syria associated with and funded from Doha on its future strategy in the region, and is seeking to expand its influence in the Arab region through Syria. ===== إيران تنظر بعين الريبة لتطور العلاقات التركية القطرية - أرشيفية - الأناضول قالت صحيفة "سياسة روز" الإيرانية إن زيارة الرئيس التركي رجب طيب أردوغان إلى قطر، كأول زيارة خارجية بعد توليه المنصب الرئاسي في تركيا، تمهد لتحالف سياسي ـ اقتصادي كبير وتاريخي فيما بين البلدين؛ لتشكيل محور سني يستهدف النفوذ الإيراني في منطقة الشرق الأوسط. واعتبرت الصحيفة أن اختيار العاصمة القطرية الدوحة، كأول محطة خارجية لأردوغان، يؤكد أهمية الدوحة في المنطقة، وأهميتها في المعادلات الخارجية للسياسة التركية. وأضافت الصحيفة الإيرانية بأن احتياطي الغاز الذي تمتلكه قطر، وقرْب قطر من التيارات الإسلامية العربية، يشكلان أهم العوامل و الدوافع للتحالف التركي ـ القطري في المنطقة، وأن هذا التحالف سيكون أكثر تأثيراً على الساحة السورية والعربية، وأن المصالح الإيرانية الاستراتيجية من الممكن أن تتأثر بهذا التحالف الذي وصفته الصحيفة بـ "المريب والخطر". وفي سياق متصل قالت الصحيفة إن المباحثات القطرية ـ التركية، خلال زيارة أردوغان للدوحة، ركزت بشكل كبير على الوضع العراقي والسوري، وكيفية إعادة ترتيب دعم المعارضة السورية والجماعات الإسلامية التي تقاتل النظام في سوريا. وادعت الصحيفة أن "حليفنا بشار الأسد" هو من سيتأثر بهذا المشروع الجديد الذي يستهدف سوريا، بحسب تعبيرها. وزعمت الصحيفة أن ما وصفته بـ"تركيا الأردوغانية" تحاول استعادة نفوذ العثمانيين ودورهم في المنطقة، من خلال سياسات أردوغان في سوريا ومصر ولبيبا وفلسطين، وتضيف أن أردوغان يحاول مع حلفائه من العرب استخدام القضايا المهمة والحساسة لدى العرب والمسلمين كقضية فلسطين، للترويج لمشروعه الرامي لإعادة دور تركيا في منطقة الشرق الأوسط المضطربة، بسبب الحروب الأهلية في سوريا والعراق. وترى الصحيفة أن قطر وتركيا، ومنذ انطلاق الثورات العربية في تونس ومصر وليبيا، وهما "تحاولان تشكيل محور إسلامي سني يوازي الهلال الشيعي الممتد من طهران إلى بغداد ودمشق، ولكن هذا المشروع اصطدم بالنظام السوري، الذي قاوم هذا المشروع الإسلامي المريب، وواجه الجماعات الإرهابية والمقاتلين الإسلاميين المدعومين قطرياً وتركياً لإسقاط النظام السوري والرئيس الشرعي بشار الأسد"، على حد قولها. وأكدت "سياسة روز" قوة وتماسك المحور الإيراني في المنطقة، معتبرة أنه لا يمكن أن يتراجع بتشكيل محور إسلامي سني بقيادة تركية وقطر "في سوريا، التي أصبحت محور الصراع وساحة المواجهة بين هذين المشروعين في منطقة الشرق الأوسط، تدخلت إيران بكل ثقلها هناك لأهمية سوريا ومكانتها الاستراتيجية في المحور الإيراني الممتد من طهران إلى لبنان"، وأضافت أن قيادة حزب الله في لبنان "أدركت خطورة هذا المحور التركي القطري على سوريا والمنطقة برمتها، وأن هذا المحور القطري ـ التركي، الذي يمتلك الإعلام والموارد الاقتصادية الهائلة، لو نجح بإسقاط بشار الأسد في سوريا، فإنه بالتأكيد سوف يمتدد إلى لبنان ويؤثر على وجود المقاومة هناك". وتوصلت الصحيفة إلى خلاصة مفادها أن بقاء النظام السوري يشكل أهم عقبة أساسية أمام هذا المحور والتحالف القطري ـ التركي، وأن قطر تعتمد على التيارات السياسية والجماعات المسلحة السورية المرتبطة والممولة من الدوحة على استراتيجيتها المستقبلية في المنطقة، وتسعى لتوسيع نفوذها في المنطقة العربية عن طريق سوريا.
