Armenia condemns “violation of ceasefire” at borders with Azerbaijan Republic

The ministry said the Azerbaijan Republic’s forces opened fire on civilians doing construction work near the Stepanakert-Shushi road, which is under the control of Russian peacekeepers. 

The ministry said the incident took place on November 8 and left one civilian dead and three others injured.

“We strongly condemn the gross violation of the ceasefire regime by the Azerbaijani armed forces, which was established by the Statement of November 9, 2020. It is noteworthy that the incident took place on the eve of the first anniversary of the signing of the Trilateral Statement and on the day of the visit of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to Shushi, wherein another statement full of Armenophobic rhetoric and threats of use of force was delivered,” the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry stressed that the attack was the second by the Azerbaijan Republic’s armed forces within a month that caused human casualties. 

Armenia has repeatedly accused the Azerbaijan Republic of violating the ceasefire, brokered by Russia, at border areas, which Baku denies.

Baku had earlier issued a statement to mark the anniversary of the “victory in Karabakh conflict”. In the statement, it called for normalization of ties with Yerevan and implementation of the trilateral ceasefire.

Iran's President Lauds Ayatollah Sistani’s Vital Role after Controversy

The top Shia authority, who lives in the holy Iraqi city of Najaf, said if it’s proven that a company effectively supports Israel, it’s not permissible to do business with them. 

Israel is widely seen by the vast majority of people in Muslim countries as a pariah, an occupying regime and an outlier in the Middle East. Despite that, governments of some Muslim countries, especially in the Arab world, have diplomatic relations with Israel. Others have secret dealings with the regime.

Iranian, German FMs discuss JCPOA

The German Foreign Ministry announced on its Twitter account that the call was made by the German foreign minister and that the issue of resumption of the Vienna talks at the end of November was at the center of the talks between the two sides.

The twitter message did not refer to the European countries’ failure to fulfill their obligations and stopped short of mentioning which parties should take action to implement this agreement and lift the oppressive sanctions.

It stated that Germany’s goal is for the negotiations to be concluded quickly so that the JCPOA can be fully implemented again soon.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action emerged on 14 July 2015 after 13 years of intense negotiations.

A week later, it was endorsed by UN Security Council resolution 2231.

But after former U.S. president Donald Trump entered the White House in January 2017 and after a few preliminary steps, he unilaterally and illegally withdrew the United States from this agreement on 8 May 2018. U.S. secondary sanctions against Iran were reinstated in two stages.

The unbalanced implementation of the JCPOA on the one hand and the pressures resulting from the application and intensification of U.S. unilateral sanctions on the other hand led the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran to decide to suspend Iran’s nuclear commitments step by step, giving 60 days to diplomacy.

Iran has repeatedly stated that if the other remaining JCPOA parties begin to implement their obligations in accordance with the agreement, steps to reduce Iran’s JCPOA commitments will be reversed.

Iran large-scale drills: Anti-ship cruise missiles destroy targets

The war games cover one million square kilometers from the east of the Hormuz Strait to the north of the Indian Ocean.

“An operation to destroy the enemy’s surface and floating units was carried out using Iranian Qader and Nasr cruise missiles,” spokesman for the Iranian Army’s annual military exercises Rear Admiral Mahmoud Mousavi said on Monday.

At this stage of the exercises, the Qader cruise missile was successfully launched from missile sites on the coast of Mokran at a target vessel 200 kilometers away, Mousavi explained.

He also noted that the Nasr missile, which was fired by a guided missile destroyer, hit its sea surface target.

He went on to say that the Qader long-range cruise missile also hit its surface target at a distance of 300 kilometers during the main phase of the drills.

The spokesman for the military exercises said that the strategic naval force of the Islamic Republic of Iran has a wide range of cruise missiles, adding that unique capabilities, including effective warheads with high explosive power and also the ability to withstand the enemy’s electronic warfare are some of the features of the projectiles in the Navy’s arsenal.

The Navy’s missile enhancement continues, and today it is able to use long-range systems, surface-to-surface units, and submarine units to destroy targets at long distances using indigenous projectiles. This growing movement will continue uninterrupted and the capabilities will increase day by day, Rear Admiral Mousavi stated.

He described the missile capabilities of the Navy as a trump card in any naval battle.

“Today, the Navy’s missile units are stationed along the coasts of the country and stand ready to bury any aggressor who intends to encroach on the waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran…at the bottom of the sea,” Mousavi warned.
