The Necessity of Accurate Understanding of the Islamic Republic

This expert also referred to the challenges of the country's diplomacy, stating: "Diplomacy is not just negotiation; it also relates to our country's relations with other countries. It is essential to consider the theoretical foundations of diplomacy."
The Importance of Diplomacy in Current Conditions
Larijani emphasized that one of the challenges of diplomacy is the lack of a correct understanding of the current situation. He referred to informal meetings where individuals discuss the situation, but this type of understanding may lead to miscalculations. According to him, "A correct understanding of the situation is very key and fundamental."
He also pointed to the impact of information complexities in today's world, stating: "We are facing an avalanche of information, and accurately understanding the situation has become very difficult. Therefore, we need design and engineering in diplomacy."
Larijani added: "Two very important indicators have been set by the Supreme Leader; one is to preserve the Strait of Hormuz with strength, and the other is the nuclear issue. These two topics must be considered as the main criteria in our diplomacy."
