On Tuesday, March 31, as the war between the Iranian regime, the United States, and Israel reached its 32nd day, reports indicated the continuation of heavy bombardments in Tehran, Isfahan, and other Iranian cities. At the same time, reports suggest that the current negotiations between the United States and the Iranian regime are facing uncertainty because the position and authority of the negotiating figures remain unclear.
Amnesty International: possible war crime in the Iranian regime’s missile attack on Israel
In a new report, Amnesty International stated that the Iranian regime’s missile attack on the city of Beit Shemesh in Israel, which led to the killing of 9 civilians including four teenagers, should be investigated as a war crime.
The attack took place on March 30, during which a synagogue and an underground shelter were destroyed. At least 46 people were also injured.
According to the report, no indication of a legitimate military target was found near the impact site, and the nearest military target was approximately 3.5 kilometers away.
The New York Times: the Iranian regime’s inability to make decisions is intensifying U.S. pressure
The New York Times reported, citing American and Western officials, that Donald Trump’s recent threats against the Iranian regime’s infrastructure reflect the inability of the regime’s leaders to make coordinated decisions regarding U.S. peace proposals.
According to the report, the recent war has led to the deaths of dozens of senior officials and has severely weakened the Iranian regime’s decision-making structure. Disruptions in communication between military and political institutions have also caused serious problems for operational coordination.
Western officials emphasized that hardliners within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have gained greater influence, and in many cases decisions are being made in a fragmented and uncoordinated manner.
This situation has reduced the Iranian regime’s ability to carry out large-scale attacks or to enter negotiations effectively.
Large-scale U.S. and Israeli attacks on military targets in Isfahan
As clashes continued, the United States and Israel targeted several cities in Isfahan Province on Monday night and early Tuesday morning, including Isfahan, Najafabad, Mobarakeh, Kashan, and Shahreza, in a series of airstrikes.
According to reports, powerful explosions occurred around Isfahan. A U.S. official stated that in these attacks, a large ammunition depot was struck using 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs.
Chinese ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz amid restrictions
While the Iranian regime has restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, maritime data shows that two large container ships belonging to a Chinese company have successfully passed through this strategic waterway.
The two ships passed near Larak Island within a short interval and entered the Gulf of Oman.
CNN: U.S. doubts the authority of the Iranian regime’s negotiators
CNN reported that U.S. officials doubt whether the Iranian regime’s negotiators have sufficient authority to reach an agreement.
According to informed sources, due to the weakening of the ruling structure and the killing of several key figures, it is unclear who makes the final decision in Tehran.
At present, indirect contacts are underway between the United States and several officials, including Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Iranian regime, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the regime’s Majlis (parliament).
However, ambiguity in the power structure has complicated the negotiations, and even selecting credible representatives for dialogue has become challenging.
Araghchi’s position on Saudi Arabia amid the tensions
In a message, Abbas Araghchi described Saudi Arabia as a brotherly country and called for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region.
This comes as, alongside the escalation of the conflict, several Arab Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have been targeted by missile and drone attacks carried out by forces affiliated with the Iranian regime.
According to various sources, these attacks have targeted not only military objectives but also civilian infrastructure, including airports, hotels, and energy facilities.
The overall recent developments indicate the simultaneous intensification of military conflict, increased international pressure, and the weakening of the Iranian regime’s decision-making structure.
While military attacks continue, the prospects for peace negotiations have also become seriously complicated due to ambiguity in the power structure and the lack of coordination within the ruling establishment.
