(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Iran's Intelligence Minister Hajat Al-Islam Mahmoud Alavi declared on May 21, 2019, the need to show "heroic flexibility" to enable the survival of the Islamic regime. These words seem to be in paradox to the inflammatory statements recently exchanged between Iran and the United States. Alavi said that the leadership of the Shi'ite community (Imamat) does not insist that the path of uprising is consistently taken. Sometimes a passive strategy is best. In 2013, Supreme Leader Khamenei cited ancient Islamic history and counseled the Iranian diplomats starting the nuclear negotiations to show heroic flexibility, determination, and faith in order to achieve Iran's strategic goals. The reality today is that both Iran and the United States seem to be interested in avoiding direct confrontation. The words of the Iranian intelligence minister more than hint at the possibility of opening channels of indirect negotiations. 2019-05-29 00:00:00Full Article
