Sheikh Qassem made the comments in a ceremony to mark the 11th anniversary of the beginning of the popular uprising in the Persian Gulf country against the ruling al-Khalifa regime.

Sheikh Qassem warned some people are attempting to pretend that the uprising is over after partial realization of its demands. 

He stressed that the ruling regime in Bahrain should accept and respect the demands of people.

“The oppressive policies of the Bahraini regime have created a grave situation for the people in terms of politics and their livelihood. This fact prompted the people of Bahrain to stage an uprising to achieve their demands and launch a movement and it was said from day one that this uprising and movement will only end with the realization of the demands of people,” he said.

The Bahrain uprising began in 2011. The protesters have been calling for the right to vote and an end to the al-Khalifa rule in their country. The uprising has faced a bloody crackdown by the regime.

UK, Israeli FMs discuss Vienna talks over Iran nuclear deal

“Talked to Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid this evening about the serious situation of Russian aggression towards Ukraine as well as the talks in Vienna to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon,” the UK foreign secretary stated on her Twitter page.

Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons, stressing it wants to master nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

“We are deepening the UK-Israeli economic and security cooperation through a new Bilateral Roadmap,” she continued.

Lapid has also said on Twitter, “Tonight, I spoke with the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom. We discussed the current situation on the Russia-Ukraine border. We share a common desire to see a diplomatic solution which prevents a military confrontation that would have serious consequences.”

Concerns over Moscow’s alleged preparations for an invasion of Ukraine have been increasingly announced in the West and in Kiev recently. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these statements as an empty and groundless escalation of tension, emphasizing that Russia posed no threat to anyone. At the same time, the Kremlin press secretary did not exclude some possible provocations to justify such claims and warned that the attempts to resolve the Ukrainian conflict by force would carry extremely serious consequences.

Lapid added that he also discussed the Iran nuclear talks, as well as strategic ties, with Truss.

Intensive diplomatic talks continue in the Austrian capital of Vienna between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries to discuss all possible ways to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal by removing all sanctions imposed by the United States against Tehran.

Iran has put many offers on the table and encouraged the other side to come up with new proposals to resolve the outstanding issues.

Iran insists that the talks must lead to the removal of all American sanctions that were imposed against Tehran following Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the landmark agreement in May 2018. Tehran has also demanded credible guarantees that Washington will not abandon the deal again.

Shamkhani: West pretending to have upper hand in Vienna talks

Shsmkhani said he spoke with chief Iranian negotiator Ali Bagheri on the phone about the trend of the Vienna talks aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. 

Shamkhani said the phone call made him sure about two things.  

He said one of them is that Iranian negotiators are facing increasing difficulty advancing Iran’s logical and legal agenda. 

The other issue, according to Shamkhani, is that the Western sides continue pretending to have the upper hand in the talks to dodge their allies obligations. 

The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council made those comments in a tweet. 

This comes as Iran and the P4+1 group of countries are engaged in talks to find a way to return the US to the JCPOA so that Iran will resume its full compliance with the agreement. 

Iran says only after the US terminates its sanctions will Tehran return to full compliance with the deal. 

Tehran says the US has so far dragged its feet on removing the sanctions.

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul said the aid has reached the Afghan province of Ghazni. It also said the shipment includes foodstuff and will be distributed among the needy in the town of Gharah Bagh in Ghazni.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been a pioneer in sending humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan, and the country’s officials have repeatedly emphasized that Iran will stand by the Afghan nation.

Already, 13 shipments of Iranian aid, including food and medical supplies, have been sent to Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Kunduz, Nangarhar and other provinces of Afghanistan.

The medical supplies were meant to treat the victims of Daesh terror attacks in Kunduz, Kandahar and Kabul provinces.

An already dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has worsened following the suspension of aid coupled with freezing of Afghan assets by many countries including the US and international organizations.

All this happened after the Taliban takeover of the country last August.

The UN says the cold season has caused many hardships for Afghans whose country is going through one of its worst humanitarian crises.

In a chain of tweets on Sunday, Russia’s lead negotiator Mikhail Ulyanov said, “Very intensive consultations” were held on Sunday as efforts continue in the Austrian capital to save the nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Ulyanov said he sat down with his Iranian counterpart, Ali Baqeri Kani, in the Austrian capital for talks “on the remaining outstanding issues.”

Later, he met with US Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley “at the final stage” of the Vienna talks.

The Russian diplomat also exchanged views with his counterparts from the three European parties to the JCPOA, namely France, Britain and Germany.

Reports coming out of Vienna suggest a significant increase in Russian diplomatic efforts as talks are said to have entered a sensitive and serious stage.

So far, many parts of a final agreement have reportedly been written down.

The nuclear agreement has been in crisis since 2018, when the US unilaterally abandoned the deal and re-imposed tough sanctions on Iran, under former US president Donald Trump.

The negotiators in Vienna are trying to secure a removal of the US sanctions and bring Washington back to compliance.

Tehran says the sanctions should be removed in a verifiable manner, and that Washington should give guarantees that it won’t violate the agreement again.
