Iran's four-decade inquiry
The article addresses Iranian President Masoud Beshkiyan's question about why Iran has not entered into a military confrontation with China, despite their proximity and both competing with America for global leadership. The text explains that China has succeeded in transforming its rivalry with the United States into a source of strength by relying on a robust economy and advanced technology to expand its influence, while maintaining legitimacy through achievements rather than ideology. Conversely, Iran depends on confrontation and ideological arguments to bolster its legitimacy, which consumes its resources and turns into a drain, especially as its economic and technological opportunities decline. The article indicates that Iran faces increasing pressure to move away from depletion and confrontation policies. It notes that other power models, such as Russia, show weaknesses in achieving strategic gains, whereas China has demonstrated how shifting from revolution to achievement can elevate a nation's standing. Ultimately, Iran's current strategies are driving it toward self-destructive exhaustion, making it difficult to keep pace with countries that have transformed competition into power by focusing on economic and technological interests.
