Iran President Ebrahim Raisi

Iran Newspaper said a survey shows that 69% of people are enjoying their lives and 52% blame the current problems on the previous administration.

The daily added that some critics of the Raisi administration are lying to people by invoking baseless surveys of Western institutions.

Iran Newspaper also said the critics are not content with pinning the blame on the Raisi administration and are painting a dark future for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It noted that what is dark is actually the future of this political current, and not that of the Iranian people.

The opinion poll that claimed Raisi’s popularity had plunged to 28% was conducted by a foreign polling institution named Statis.

It also said the majority of Iranians paint a bleak picture of Iran’s future.

Iran Newspaper however said while most Iranians believe the previous administration was at fault for the current myriads of problems faced by people, the foreign institution’s opinion poll claims the majority of people pin the blame on Raisi.

The paper also referred to people’s satisfaction with the government’s handling of the Covid pandemic while under former president Hassan Rouhani, hundreds of people died daily from the virus.

According to Iran Newspaper’s survey, Iranians are among happy nations of the world, as opposed to the Statis poll.

Iran President Ebrahim Raisi and Vietnam’s Ambassador to Tehran

Raisi said Iranians regard the Vietnamese as a nation who stood up against colonialism and bullying and their views are similar to the Iranian people’s in this regard.

The president pointed to friendly ties between Iran and Vietnam and said the current level of ties between Tehran and Hanoi is not commensurate with the diverse possibilities of the two countries.

Raisi noted that regularly holding joint economic commission meetings can help realize the possibilities of Iran and Vietnam in the fields of agriculture, technology and transportation.

The Vietnamese envoy also described Iranians as peace-loving and cultured people, saying Iran has made many achievements despite years of sanctions and pressures.

He also thanked Iran’s active foreign policy and noted that Vietnam has always had food ties with Iran and is still working to boost relations with Tehran, especially trade and economic ties.

Iran President Ebrahim Raisi and Switzerland’s Ambassador to Tehran

Raisi also said the drafting of the resolution at a time while talks between Tehran and the other sides were underway was a violation of the spirit of negotiations and the agreement and an indication of contradictory behavior on the part of Washington and the three European countries, Germany, France and Britain.

He was speaking at a meeting with Switzerland’s new ambassador to Tehran who presented her credentials to the Iranian president.

President Raisi referred to Switzerland’s diplomatic role as protector of the US’s interests in Iran, saying Washington and the European trio are making a miscalculation about Iran.

He expressed hope that the Swiss envoy will convey the reality about Iran to her own government and to other countries as well so they realize that Iran is pressing ahead on the path toward development despite enmities.

President Raisi said the bullying policies of the US and the European governments have been counterproductive, saying they must abide by the rule of engagement and agreement.

The new Swiss ambassador for her part said Iran and Switzerland have had diplomatic relations for over a century and their interactions and cooperation have always been positive and constructive.

She added that as Switzerland’s new envoy to Tehran, her responsibility is to expand ties between the two countries.

They say it’s highly likely the deaths become double-digit soon.

The surge in the Covid deaths and new cases comes as Iran registered no deaths several days and the number of new daily infections were low.

Sina Azodi, a lecturer of International Affairs at George Washington University, in talks to Iran’s ILNA news agency painted a grim picture of the path ahead to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The Qatari capital Doha hosted two days of negotiations late last month after several rounds of inconclusive talks in Vienna last year among the remaining parties to the agreement.

Azodi said the talks hit an impasse because both sides raised the same demands without showing flexibility.

He also called on Tehran and Washington to hold direct talks, instead of relaying their messages through the European side.

Meanwhile, the political analyst said as the US congressional elections are approaching, any change in the combination of the Congress could make the current situation more complicated.

He also noted that the US President Joe Biden might try to forge an anti-alliance in his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia and Israeli-occupied territories and advised Iran to adopt a more active policy to counter any threats.

Azodi welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian’s remarks that Tehran is open to rapprochement with Riyadh and Cairo and said removing tensions would benefit the entire region.

Security forces detained 516 people while dispersing the protesters last Friday but have now released many of them, the national guard press office told a briefing.

On Saturday President Shavkat Mirziyoyev dropped plans to amend articles of the constitution concerning Karakalpakstan’s autonomy and its right to secede.

He also declared a month-long state of emergency in the northwestern province.

According to official reports, demonstrators marched through the provincial capital of Nukus last Friday and then tried to seize local government buildings.

Sultanbek Ziyayev, the head of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, told news website Daryo.uz that hospitals in Nukus were full of patients who had been wounded when protesters clashed with security forces.

“Thousands of wounded have been hospitalised and are being treated,” he added.

It was the second outbreak of unrest in the central Asian country this year after earlier mass protests in January were crushed.
