Iranian, German FMs discuss JCPOA

By

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.

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.

According to Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV channel, Ghaani also met with two other Iraq officials, underscoring the need for Iraq to maintain its stability and national unity. He also told the Iraqi officials that any move which would threaten Iraq’s security must be avoided.

Accoording to al-Mayadeen, in the meetings, Ghaani stressed that it is necessary Iraqi officials heed the demands of those who protest the results of the recent parliamentary elections within the confines of law.

His visit to Iraq comes at a time when tension is mounting in Iraq following Sunday’s drone strike against the Iraqi prime minister house.

The Iraqi government declared on Sunday that the explosive-laden drone hit Kadhimi’s house but the prime minister escaped the attack unharmed. Following the incident, Kadhmi called on all Iraqis in a tweet to calm down and exercise restraint.

The situation has been tense in Iraq since the parliamentary vote. People held a bloody protest on Friday against the election results. They claim the vote was rigged. But officials deny this.
