Threat of transition: Is Iran moving from confrontation to negotiations in the South Caucasus?
The approval of the agreement related to the so-called "Trump" route in the Armenian Parliament and the threatening response of Ali Akbar and Ayati again made Iran's position in the South Caucasus equations a topic of discussion. Masoud Dalbari, an energy expert, in an interview with Radio Zaman, says that Tehran's main concern, beyond the American presence and strengthening the position of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, is reducing Iran's influence in regional decision-making. He sees Valaiti's reference to the Turkmenchai Treaty as a reflection of a kind of historical view of the Caucasus as Iran's sphere of influence and believes that Tehran, despite the limitations of practical tools, can still influence the implementation of the agreement through diplomacy.
