Call for Viewing Visits by Foreign Leaders in a Balanced Perspective

It is "unreasonable" to expect that trips by foreign dignitaries to Iran could lead to a major breakthrough in Tehran-Washington relations, but they could be seen as an "achievement" if they succeed in removing the shadow of a looming conflict in the region, according to an Iranian daily.  
Trips by foreign officials to Iran show that the hostile unilateral policies adopted by US President Donald Trump toward the country have failed, the state-affiliated daily Iran wrote in a recent article, in reference to visits by German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.  
America's failure is evident in the fact that Trump welcomed Abe's help in dealing with Iran during a visit to Japan late last month, the article said.
