In the logic of regional balance, eliminating or weakening Iran as an influential power constitutes Israel\u2019s absolute dominance in Middle East dynamics. Hence, a significant number of regional states prefer Iran\u2019s stability as a balancing factor.<br \/><br \/>The international affairs expert added, \u201cIn the region\u2019s geopolitical structure, any political unit with a population over 20 million can be perceived as a potential threat in the security calculations of others\u2014a reality that even applies to countries such as Turkey.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with IranView24, Reza Nasri, an international affairs expert, referring to the ambiguous environment surrounding the recent Iran-U.S. negotiations, stressed that Trump\u2019s contradictory messaging policy and Israel\u2019s media efforts aimed at sabotaging the negotiation process have complicated the equation.
