ArmInfo. The resolution of the standoff between the US and Iran will have a direct impact on Armenia's security, economy, and future. This is what David Ananyan, a member of the "Wings of Unity" initiative and former Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of Armenia, writes in light of the US's acceptance of Iran's 10 demands ahead of a two-week ceasefire.
According to him, the region is entering a phase where the long-standing stagnation of tensions appears to be nearing its end. As the "Wings of Unity" member noted, the standoff between the US and Iran, which for several months kept the entire region on the brink of disaster, is now entering the realm of negotiations.
"This isn't peace yet, and certainly not a final agreement. But this is the moment when the language of force begins to give way to the language of calculation. Iran is speaking the language of maximum demands, the US is adhering to the logic of containment and control, but most importantly, the parties have stopped. And when clashes of this scale cease, that in itself is a turning point," Ananyan is confident.
At the same time, the politician believes that for Armenia, this is not just foreign news, but a key outcome that has a direct impact on the country's security, economy, and future. "If this problem truly begins to be resolved, not only the balance of power in the region will change, but also the environment in which we must make our political and economic decisions," Ananyan concluded.
As a reminder, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi published on his Twitter page (X) a list of 10 points that the US agreed to for the establishment of a ceasefire, which will take effect on April 10.
Specifically, these include: a commitment to non-aggression; On maintaining Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz; on agreeing to uranium enrichment; on lifting all primary sanctions; on lifting all secondary sanctions; on terminating all UN Security Council resolutions; on terminating all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions; on paying compensation to Iran; on the withdrawal of US troops from the region; on ending the war on all fronts, including the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The US-Iran talks will be held in Islamabad on April 10 in the presence of Pakistani representatives, who will act as mediators.
