Abstract

This paper introduced the Red-Line Reset Framework, a healing diplomacy process in resolving the ancient enmity between Iran and Israel. The framework was made up of hard security, psychological healing, and economic incorporation, based on the Vietnam reconciliation lessons. By redefining threat, healing collective trauma and creating economic payoffs, the framework was aimed at radically transforming the Iran- Isreal relations of enmity to that of lasting peace. It was more concerned with the necessity to reform the attitudes, mend a history of wounds, and build the economic interdependence in the way of ensuring sustainable peace process. This study engaged in examining the possibilities of the approach of the Red-Line Reset Framework as an all-inclusive reaction to the Iran-Israel conflict with safety, mental, and financial factors to cultivate peace in the long run. It employed multi-methods framework that involved the Conflict Triangle conceptualized by Galtung, SCORE Index and PCL-5 scale to gauge and provide intervention at security, psychological, and economical levels. Qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires will be done in a mixed methodology to be able to carry out a combined analysis of the conflict dynamics, as well as, the peacebuilding interventions. The study indicated the prospect of the framework in changing the Iran Israel relationship to cooperative. What is also unique about the Red-Line Reset Framework, and what integrates into it this psychological healing, security, and economic cooperation is that it also links them with the completion of the peace loop so that one feeds on the other. Unlike other models, it is established on post-war reconciliation in the country Vietnam based on long term trauma recovery and sustainable economic interdependency. It has relevance for other parts of the world, including the Korean Peninsula and sub-Saharan Africa, where entrenched conflicts similarly necessitate holistic peacebuilding approaches.
