Rouhani's remarks generate debate in Iran
The statements made by former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have sparked widespread debate within Iran. He called for dialogue with the people regarding the end of the war, criticized linking Iranian policy to issues of revenge, and emphasized the importance of dialogue rather than escalation. Conservative forces see this stance as a threat to Iran's "defense and deterrence" approach and are increasingly concerned about a potential decline in responses to regional tensions, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz. This controversy reflects a division within the Iranian elite on how to escape a state of exhaustion: conservatives believe that sacrificing policies centered on maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz and reliance on deterrence could weaken sovereignty, while moderates argue that continuing the war harms the economy and society more. These statements highlight the divide between reformists and conservatives amid escalating tensions caused by the human and economic costs of the conflict.
