Iran President Ebrahim Raisi & China Defense Chief Wei Fenghe

Raisi added that the 25-year strategic partnership with China will be the top priority for Iran in this regard. He made those comments in a meeting with Chinese Defense Minister General Wei Fenghe in Tehran on Wednesdsy.

The Iranian president noted that the latest global developments have proved the value of the Iran-China strategic cooperation.

Raisi said unilateralism and domination are aimed at controlling world countries and preventing sustainable global economic growth.

He also said fighting unilateralism and creating stability and order is possible through cooperation between independent powers.

The president said Iran has very good potentials for large investments and its matchless capacities for regional transportation as well as its possibilities in energy security and infrastructure cooperation are solid platforms for cooperation and investment.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Raisi referred to the US’s unilateral withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, JCPOA, saying Washington sought to put tremendous pressure on Tehran by violating the agreement but it today admits that its so-called maximum pressure campaign suffered a humiliating failure.

He added that the Iranian people proved that a nation can achieve its rights through resistance and perseverance.

China’s Defense Minister General Wei Fenghe also extended the Chinese president’s warm greetings to Raisi, saying strong ties between Tehran and Beijing creates security for the region and the world in the current situation.

General Wei added that Iran and China can work together in global issues and help with global peace and stability.

The Chinese defense chief underlined that unilateralism prevents sustainable economic growth.

Meanwhile, an official with Iran’s Interior Ministry has confirmed the announcement by the Taliban official, rejecting claims that the Islamic Republic has sent army forces to the border with Afghanistan.

The official said what happened in the Dogharoun region was a misunderstanding on the part of some Taliban members regarding the borderline there.

Iran’s deputy envoy to Kabul Hassan Mortazavi on Tuesday met Shobei Ahmad, an Afghan military official, and they held talks over the border issues between the two countries.

Tehran and Kabul have described border tensions between the two Muslim neighbors as being in favor of enemies and have stressed the need for the settlement of disputes through dialog.

Following some tensions along the border, footage ricocheted around social media which were meant to insinuate that the situation was critical on the border and the video is part of a psychological warfare. But both Iranian and Taliban officials have denied this.

Ali Bagheri Kani

Speaking at an event themed on Palestine on Wednesday in Tehran, Ali Bagheri Kani said the Palestinian issue is not about a mere dispute over a piece of land since the Zionist regime has been committing “systematic violations of human rights” at the international level throughout its history.

The Iranian official criticized the West’s all-out support for the regime regardless of the crimes it has been perpetrating in Palestine, saying such an approach is posing a challenge to the Western states’ claims of commitment to human rights and democracy.

Nevertheless, no matter how hard the regime tries, it will fail in its Western-backed attempts to eliminate Palestine, he added.

“The Zionist regime and its Western sponsors are seeking Palestine’s elimination, but they remain ignorant [of the fact that] the mindset of resistance is rooted in the heart of regional nations, especially Palestine,” he added.

The Palestine issue could only be resolved either through resistance or via a referendum among the original inhabitants of Palestine, said Bagheri Kani, adding that any of the two solutions that bears fruit sooner will facilitate the return of all Palestinians to their homeland and bring about lasting peace in the region.

“Any initiative that fails to end occupation and aggression in Palestine cannot be regarded as a solution” to the decades-long conflict, he said.

Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf & Mohammed al-Halbousi

“We hope that a strong Iran and a strong Iraq will always be by each other’s side… because Iran and Iraq have an important role to play in regional, political, security, and economic affairs and in the strengthening of Islamic states,” Qalibaf told a visiting Speaker of Iraq’s Parliament Mohammed al-Halbousi on Wednesday.

Qalibaf said strong bilateral ties between Iran and Iraq would be effective on both the regional and global scales.

Al-Halbousi similarly emphasized mutual relations and said Baghdad was engaged in “proxy diplomacy” to bring regional nations together, a reference to its hosting of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which have severed their diplomatic ties.

He also said regional countries had to take common positions in international organizations “because we have common challenges, and peace and stability have to return to the region.”

The Iraqi parliament speaker said armed groups should not be allowed to terrorize nations or to act against states.

This is al-Halbousi’s second trip to Iran as the speaker of the Iraqi parliament.
