Ehsan Sharif, professor at the University of Tehran, says Iran is seeking to translate military and strategic gains into long-term political achievements, not only for itself but for the wider region.
He argues that Tehran is working to promote a new security framework in which regional countries assume responsibility for their own stability without foreign military involvement.
According to him, recent diplomatic engagements involving regional actors reflect an emerging shift toward greater political cooperation and a multipolar regional order.
He contends that Iran sees the recent conflict as evidence of its military capabilities and national cohesion, which it now seeks to leverage to strengthen regional sovereignty and independence.
He argues that Iranian officials are signaling a readiness to reassess previous strategic limitations in order to address threats originating from beyond the region and prevent future attacks.
The analyst further maintains that Tehran remains committed to diplomacy while standing firm on its security interests and sovereign rights.
