Nournews: Apart from a few radical or pessimistic political figures, the majority of political and media outlets in Iran viewed the talks positively. Even newspapers critical of the government avoided negative or discouraging headlines. The tone of media coverage remained realistic and moderate, avoiding superficial excitement.
In the Iranian Parliament, which usually becomes a scene of political disputes during such events, only one minor objection was raised, which was promptly addressed by the Speaker and other MPs. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf confirmed that the negotiations were conducted within legal frameworks and with full awareness of the legislature.
On social media, however, harsh tweets by a few figures such as Hamid Rasai and Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi drew criticism for their inappropriate tone. Many users argued that discussions of such national importance should be approached with respectful language and a sense of responsibility.
The positive impact of the negotiations was also reflected in financial markets. The stock market continued its upward trend, the national currency strengthened, and the prices of gold and coins fell noticeably. This reaction indicated a level of market confidence in the new diplomatic approach.
Interestingly, for the first time in years, negotiations with the US—traditionally a highly divisive issue—have become a source of political and national alignment. While it’s still early to determine the public’s final judgment, initial signs show a sense of hope and a belief in the possibility of resolving long-standing political deadlocks through smart diplomacy.
The general public still expects the country’s dignity and national interests to be preserved, but many believe that wise and lawful negotiations are a necessary step toward improving the economy and governance. The government’s willingness to engage in diplomacy has helped restore some trust in the effectiveness of the state and maintain social capital.
Sustainable development is the most important mission of any government, and diplomacy, like the recent talks in Oman, is a tool to help achieve it. Ending sanctions and reinforcing social trust are both essential foundations for long-term progress. These negotiations are not a short-term fix but a strategic necessity requiring careful planning and long-term vision.
Ultimately, a realistic and hopeful view of diplomatic potential—so long as it serves national interests, protects dignity, and is grounded in the people’s will—can play an essential role in building a more united and forward-looking Iran.
