Iran-U.S. Conflict Is Structural and Unresolvable

“The hostility of the United States toward Iran stems from the Islamic Republic’s independent identity—not from temporary behaviors,” Izadi said. “This is why the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stated that the problem is intrinsic and not subject to resolution.”
A History of Hostility and Cultural Influence
Izadi noted that over the past 72 years, the United States has been the primary source of interference in Iran’s affairs. He warned that American ideological influence remains embedded in Iran’s academic and cultural institutions, particularly through Western-derived humanities curricula—a concern frequently raised by Ayatollah Khamenei.
He criticized the misconception that Iran’s own actions are to blame for strained relations with the West. “Experience shows that even when Iran negotiates and offers concessions, Western powers remain untrustworthy and hostile,” he said.
Structural Opposition in U.S. Foreign Policy
Referencing American academic literature, Izadi explained that U.S. foreign policy categorizes countries into four groups. Before the 1979 Revolution, Iran was considered an ally. After the Revolution, it was reclassified as a hostile state. “From the American perspective, countries in this category face perpetual antagonism, regardless of their behavior,” he said.
He added that genuine peace with such nations is only conceivable if their internal power structures are transformed—underscoring that Washington’s ultimate goal is regime change in Iran, not behavioral reform.
Independence Through Strategic Disengagement
Izadi argued that Iran’s historical experience with Western economic engagement has shown that the West rarely honors its commitments. “The only path to preserving national independence is to politically decouple from the West,” he said. “This doesn’t mean severing ties—it means refusing to remain dependent or waiting on Western approval.”
Intellectual Resistance and Public Influence
He called for greater emphasis on “Western self-critique,” pointing out that many Western scholars challenge capitalism and imperialism from within. “We must amplify these voices in our intellectual and cultural productions,” he said.
Izadi also stressed the importance of shaping American public opinion. “No war in U.S. history has begun without public support. If we can influence American society, we can raise the cost of their hostility toward Iran.”
Signs of Decline
In conclusion, Izadi described recent developments in the United States as indicators of its gradual decline. “The day America loses its superpower status and becomes a normal country, its imperialist policies in the region will come to an end,” he said.
