Iran Says Visegrad Summit’s Cancellation Heavy Blow to Netanyahu

The move to cancel the Visegrad summit, which had been slated to be held in Quds (Jerusalem), is one of the aftershocks of the recent anti-Iran meeting in Poland’s Warsaw, Baeedinejad said on his Twitter account late on Monday.

“The holding of this meeting at this critical juncture was of great significance to Tel Aviv and its cancellation deals a major blow to Netanyahu’s political situation,” he added in his tweet.

The summit of Central European leaders in Quds was cancelled after Poland withdrew on Monday, accusing Israel’s acting foreign minister, Yisrael Katz, of “racist” and “totally unacceptable” statements.

Leaders of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, known as the V4, were to meet for two days beginning on Monday.

Poland’s withdrawal came after Katz said on Sunday that Poles “collaborated with the Nazis” and “sucked anti-Semitism with their mothers’ milk”.

They were the latest comments in a diplomatic row that has been escalating since Friday between Poland and the Israeli regime about atrocities that reportedly occurred against the Jews on Polish soil during World War II.

Netanyahu reportedly said during his trip to Poland on Thursday that “Poles cooperated with the Germans” during the Holocaust.

The Israeli prime minister later said he had been misquoted, and that he did not mean all Poles cooperated, just certain ones.

Yemeni Nobel Laureate Amazed by Iran FM’s Behaviour

Tawakkol Karman, a female journalist supporting Yemen’s 2011 revolution who delivered a speech at the conference Sunday, said in a Facebook post this week that she was amazed by Zarif’s reactions after she strongly criticized Iran.

“While talking about destructive foreign interventions in Yemen, I seriously assailed Iran and its negative role in the region, but Mr Zarif who was sitting beside me said ‘we honour you’,” she wrote in a Facebook post this week.

“I mentioned this so you understand the big difference between the thinking and behaviour of Iranians with some Arabs including Saudi Arabia and the UAE,” he said.

This is while Karman has been attacked by Saudi and Emirati users of social media for her comment criticizing the two Arab countries for their invasion of Yemen, which has killed and injured thousands of Yemenis and put the nation on the verge of famine.

Karman, the chairwoman of Women Journalists Without Chains, is a member of Yemen’s al-Islah party, which is close to Muslim Brotherhood.

Karman has repeatedly called for peace talks with Ansarullah and the withdrawal of Saudi forces from this country.

Bernie Sanders Says Will Run for Presidency in 2020

In an email to supporters on Tuesday morning, he announced his decision to run again, casting his candidacy as way to accomplish the mission he started three years ago.

“Together, you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revolution,” he said. “Now, it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for.”

Sanders, 77, believes he can prevail in a crowded and diverse field that includes several female and minority candidates, then beat Donald Trump, whom he called “the most dangerous president in modern American history”.

Whether he can once again capture grassroots support, and whether the energy of his last campaign will pass to other candidates, will likely be a central factor in determining who Democrats nominate to take on the sitting president.

The progressive policies Sanders helped popularize in 2016 – Medicare-for-All, a $15 an hour federal minimum wage, tuition-free college and demands to combat climate change more aggressively and tax the wealthy at a higher rate – have been broadly embraced in a leftward shift that has reached several presidential candidates.

“Three years ago, during our 2016 campaign, when we brought forth our progressive agenda we were told that our ideas were ‘radical’ and ‘extreme’,” Sanders wrote. “Well, three years have come and gone. And, as result of millions of Americans standing up and fighting back, all of these policies and more are now supported by a majority of Americans.”

No candidate will enter the race with as many advantages as Sanders, who ended the 2016 primary with more than 13m votes and nearly $230m raised, much of it through small donations. He begins his second run for the White House not as a political outsider but as a top-tier candidate with near-universal name recognition, a dedicated following and an unrivalled donor list.

IRGC General Says Saudi ‘Heart of Evil’ in Mideast

Brigadier General Hossein Salami said on Tuesday Saudi Arabia is the “heart of evil” in the region and the Saudi government must know they will not last long.

“The Al Saud must know that it is not lasting and the enemies must know that we will not leave them,” he said.

“Our enemies have fallen into decline and whatever they plan has an opposite effect,” he said.

The General said Iran’s adversaries are now weaker and the chaos in the world of politics has made them unable to solve even small issues.

“Today, the US has lost the game and our enemies are disappointed and you are walking forward defiantly,” he noted.

Speaking in a commemoration ceremony for martyrs of Wednesday’s terror attack near Zahedan in south-eastern Iran, General Salami said the terrorist attack showed enemies of the Iranian nation have adopted a dangerous strategy.

“Fighters of IRGC’s ground forces have stood against the wicked triangle of the US, the Zionist regime and reactionary Arab governments in the region and their job is not easy,” he said.

However, General Salami said, the enemies’ latest plan will also fail and the world is about to witness a major victory for the Muslim society.

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

Almost all papers today highlighted the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who urged officials to beware of the Europeans’ deceit.

Iranian papers today widely covered the inauguration of the third phase of a gas condensate plant at Persian Gulf Star Refinery in southern Iran, in a ceremony attended by President Hassan Rouhani. The refinery has made Iran self-sufficient in petrol production, and even lets the country export its petrol.

Also a top story was the Iranian security forces’ arrest of some of the terrorists behind the recent attack on IRGC forces in south-eastern Iran.

The visit of a high-ranking Iranian delegation to China – including Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, and Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati – also received great coverage.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:

Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the IRGC’s ground forces, made the statement in a ceremony commemorating the martyrs of the attack which hit a bus carrying Iranian border guards in Zahedan-Khash road last Wednesday.

General Pakpour said some other members of the terrorist team, affiliated with the Jaish al-Adl terrorist group, have also been Pakistanis.

“Two members of the terrorist team were Pakistanis,” he said, adding that another Pakistani has been supporting the team from Pakistan.

Three members of the terrorist team were Iranian nationals from Sistan and Baluchestan province, he said.

The IRGC general said two members of the terrorist team have been arrested and another one has fled, but Iranian security forces will soon catch him, he said.

General Pakpour said the terrorist team was well equipped and planned to launch major operations inside Iran.

At least 27 IRGC border guards were martyred and 13 others wounded in one of the deadliest attacks against IRGC personnel in years.

The Pakistan-based Jaish al-Adl, an offshoot of Jundullah which has carried dozens of terror operations inside Iran in recent years, claimed responsibility for the attack.

“China is an important country for Iran and has a big role in Iran’s foreign policy,” IRNA quoted him as saying in a Tuesday meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing.

Zarif said the trip of a high-ranking politico-economic Iranian delegation, comprising senior officials including Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, is a new beginning in Tehran-Beijing relations and shows China’s importance for Iran.

“Iran’s most strategic relations in the world is with China,” he said.

The top Chinese diplomat, in turn, stressed the importance of relations between the two countries.

“The trip of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Tehran in March 2016 has boosted the two countries’ relations to a strategic level,” he said.

A number of senior Iranian officials, including Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh, Economy Minister Farhad Dejpasand and Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati, are accompanying Zarif and Larijani in the trip.

Iran Develops New Apparatus for Mineral Exploration

Researchers at a knowledge-based company have developed the know-how to produce mineral exploration systems named portable gamma spectrometers.

The new apparatus can be used to explore copper, zinc, phosphate and gold mines, and to spot potassic zones in the earth and monitor environmental beams.

At the moment, 40 portable gamma spectrometers have been produced. The apparatus has been patented as well. It is an industrial and expensive apparatus, so it will be produced only when ordered by customers. The cost of production of the apparatus in Iran is between 35 and 40 percent less than that of foreign-made ones.

The device has received Europe’s CE standard.

According to the project manager, the apparatus is to be exported to neighbouring countries as well.

Iran Expresses Deep Regret over Zimbabwe Mine Tragedy

In his Tuesday statement, Qassemi offered sympathy to the Zimbabwean nation and government and the bereaved families of the victims.

Zimbabwean rescuers pulled the bodies of at least 22 illegal gold miners out of shafts west of Harare that were flooded earlier in the week, and rescued eight more alive, officials and witnesses said on Saturday.

The accident involving about 70 miners in Battlefields, 175 km (109 miles) west of the capital, happened last Tuesday and has shone a light on the risks run by illegal gold miners, who last year contributed a large part of Zimbabwe’s record 33 tonne bullion output.

The government has declared the incident a disaster.
