From Iran Daily Summary: published on 10 February 2023:
- From Pulpit: Are Iranians Better Off Today Than 44 Years Ago?: On the eve of the anniversary of the Islamic revolution, it is a legitimate question to ask: Is Iran better off now than it was in the Pahlavi era? Mowlavi Abdolhamid Esma’ilzahi was the only one among the Friday prayer leaders who answered in the negative. He seems to have captured the climate of opinion in the nation these days.
- Regime Defends Constitution as Support for Musavi Slowly Grows: Islamic Republic loyalists continue to defy the call for a constitutional referendum and systemic change in Iran after the former Green Movement leader Mir-Hosein Musavi’s latest statement, while support for Musavi’s referendum call slowly grows among political activists.
- Efforts To Bring Anti-JCPOA Forces on Board: The diplomatic movements by Iran, the timeline of Ali Shamkhani's trip to Moscow, which coincided with Rafael Grossi’s trip to Russia, and the amplified narrative by hardline media to picture the West as distant from a regime change policy, reveal an escalated level of efforts by the regime to set the stage and clear the air to resume negotiations.
- Iran’s Regional Role Destabilizing?: With tensions between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan at an all-time high, pundits are not worried about a full-on war breaking out between the two sides. Others refer to outside powers as a source of destabilization in places like Afghanistan. Is Iran destabilizing the region, or will the region destabilize Iran?
