ایران بر سر دوراهی شرق و غرب | گفتگوی رحمان قهرمان‌پور و مهدی خراتیان

In the interview, Rahman Ghaemhagh and Mehdi Kharatian discuss Iran's position between the US‑led liberal democracies and the China‑Russia bloc, arguing that the country should pursue strategic independence rather than align with either side. They emphasize that choosing a bloc can bring short‑term benefits but exposes Iran to double risk and retaliation. The speakers highlight the necessity of leveraging economic and military cooperation with China to strengthen Iran's resilience, noting that China has historically supported Iran and offers tangible opportunities such as technology transfer and arms deals. They also point out Iran's continued dependence on the West in areas like finance and port management, underscoring the urgency of diversifying partnerships to achieve true independence.
