Mehr News Agency, International: Dr. Hadi Dolatabadi, professor of French studies at the University of Tehran, believes that French policy towards Iran should be seen from the point of view of France’s permanent critical approach to Iran. He also believes that in the duality of close to Iran or Western allies, the choice Graz France is the allies of the West, but the point to keep in mind is the difference between France’s approach to war in Gaza.
In the following, the detailed interview of the group International Mehr News Agency with Dr. Hadi Dolatabadi, professor of French studies at the University of Tehran.
What was the official position of the French government on the last twelve -day war between Iran and Israel, and was this position different from the past?
Regarding the official position of the French government, given that the country usually has a critical view of Iran, it actually shows a critical approach to Iran in all cases on one side of Iran. In general, it should be noted that after World War II in France, there was a supportive approach to Israel in the fourth republic of France.
France’s approach to the six -day war should be divided into four periods: the first is the targeting of military commanders and military and nuclear activists, and the second is the targeting of civilians, and especially in Evin Prison, where four French were imprisoned for spying. The fact is that France, one of the critics of Iran’s nuclear and missile program Consignment Directly heed against Israel, and at the invitation of Iran to restraint, he showed efforts to revive diplomacy.
You are an expert of discourse analysis; How did the dominant discourse of French media in this war? Was it more in line with Western positions or more diverse?
A wide range of French visual media covered the news, and Iranian experts, both French and Iranians, invited the country to comment, and often condemned Israeli attacks by Iranians residing. The Iranian and Israeli ambassadors in France were invited separately and their views were reflected. So we saw a diversity in the French media approach that also analyzed Iran’s nuclear and missile power.
In your view, what impact will this war on the relations between Iran and the European Union, especially France?
This war in itself does not have a significant impact on Iran -European relations from the point of view of sanctions, but the photo type Amal Iran in cooperation or non -cooperation with the Agency International And giving the agency’s access to the extent of the damage and the exit or failure of Iran’s exit from the Nuclear Weapons Treaty can have a significant impact on Iran -EU relations. But by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, the United States showed that Europe is not a role in the nuclear talks. The point that enhances Europe’s role in this field is the possibility of using European countries that are still members of the brokerage.
Explicit statements such as talk Jean Noel Barrow To what extent does Iran’s direct threat to regional peace reflect Macron’s macro policy?
This threatening view of Iran on the region has been found in the French defense and strategic roadmap from the beginning of France’s upstream documents since the beginning of the years. France has always had a critical look at Iran, so this policy is not virtually unique to the Macron government, and since the time of Nikola Sarkozy and after him François Hollande, whose representative played the role of a bad police in the nuclear talks, has been such a policy.
You know the French political atmosphere well; During this crisis, what are the differences in the analysis or position of the right parties (such as the Republicans and the national community) and the left (such as submission and socialists)?
Of course, the difference is quite clear, and the right and left duality in France, in addition to domestic politics in foreign policy, is also clear, but it should be noted that in the left, socialists and the inhumane have also taken a conflict approach to Israel’s positions, because the Socialists have had good relations with Israel in the past. On the other hand, we also see some kind of transformation in the extremist right of France, so that this faction that is positioned Anti -Jewish In France, it was known that with a complete rotation and even the party’s visit to Israel in recent years, he expressed positions in support of Israel, and of course the unjustified surrender to Israeli attacks on Gaza had the same positions on Iran, so duality in the positions of French parties was clear.
How can Emmanuel Macron’s recent positions, including contact with Netanyahu and emphasizing the necessity of “Iranian restraint”, can be analyzed within the framework of independent French foreign policy? Is this independence still relevant or has it been in line with NATO and the United States?
French policy on Iran should be seen from the point of view of France’s constant critical approach to Iran. On the other hand, if we look at it in general, we see the conflict of approach in the type of government of the two countries: the Iranian government is the “Islamic Republic” and the French government is a “secular republic”; France has been critical of the religious layer of the Iranian government since the Islamic Revolution, and any kind of regional approach of Iran through regional influence and Iran’s will to expand ideology. Anti -Western He sees. Iran’s nuclear and missile program from France’s point of view other than confronting the West or Allies It has no West. Among this AlliesThe Israeli regime and the Arab states are in the region.
So in the dual between proximity to Iran or Western allies, the unparalleled choice and Graz France is the allies of the West, but the point to note is about the difference between the French approach to the war in Gaza: since this confrontation goes back to French Arabic politics, France has maintained a critical approach to Israel. Therefore, the independence of French foreign policy towards Palestine and its fully Western approach to Iran can be discussed.
