Raeisi made the remark in a telephone conversation with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

He said the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the Nicaraguan revolution happened in the same year and this strengthened bonds between the two nations.

Raisi also said Iran and Nicaragua are on the same page regarding the need to confront the US greed, which is a valuable asset for interaction in the international arena to defend sovereignty of nations.

The Iranian president also said Iran and Nicaragua should work closely at international bodies to neuter US sanctions and make it costly for Washington to take action against independent nations.

Ortega also said his country will forcefully press ahead alongside Iran to strengthen bilateral relations.

He said the US is now openly campaigning against Latin American nations and that the target has been “our unity with Iran”.

Ortega noted that under such circumstances, it’s vital to maintain and bolster solidarity between Iran and Nicaragua.

The Nicaraguan president said awareness has increased worldwide, adding, “We need to empower the cause of struggle for peace and justice in the world through strengthening our relations”.

During the 64th Annual Meeting of the Committee for the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS), Kazem Gharibabadi said the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to the peaceful use and exploration of outer space.
He stressed that all countries must have equal access to space, without discrimination and regardless of their level of scientific, technical and economic progress.
The Iranian diplomat added that countries must not occupy outer space, including the moon and other astronomical objects with the claims of sovereignty, use, occupation, or any other excuses.
“The civilian nature of outer space has to be preserved and the installation of any weapon in space must be prevented. The space ought to be used as a common heritage of humanity for peaceful purposes.”
Referring to the plans of several private companies to run satellite networks in near-Earth orbit for global access to the Internet, he said “While these satellites offer the prospect of more efficient and inclusive global Internet access, they run the risk of occupying a large portion of near-Earth orbit, leading to major deprivation of the developing countries of space exploration.”
According to Union of Concerned Scientists, a US-based science advocacy organization, there are over 6,500 satellites, out of which more than 3,300 are active and the rest are inactive, as recorded by January, 2021.

Nasrollah Pejmanfar told Tasnim news that the move addresses the issue of “officials’ failure to take proper action on certain policy areas”, when they were in office.
“The committee has compiled numerous cases on this issue. Some of them have been referred to the judiciary for investigation and others are being completed,” he said.
“[Out of the two cases sent to the judiciary,] the first has to do with the Tehran Stock Exchange and the second has to do with intervention in the foreign currency [market] by some individuals in the former administration, especially former President Mr. Rouhani.”
Pejmanfar added there is also a third case on some former officials’ failure to take action on the issue of housing, which will be completed and referred to the judiciary in the coming days. He said the complaints have been lodged with the prosecutor general.
“In the housing case, we reviewed the entire body of policies that were supposed to be implemented and lodged a complaint against the former president for failing to take action [on the policies],” he noted.
The Ruohani administration has been criticized for a crash in the stock market, which led to many investors, from among ordinary people, losing much of their hard-won wealth. Rouhani’ second term in office also saw a surge in inflation after the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal and the re-imposition of anti-Ian sanctions. It led to housing market volatility and a steep rise in prices.

Syria Coach Accuses AFC of Having Bias Towards Iran

Iran is scheduled to hold its first world cup qualifier at Azadi Stadium in the capital Tehran against Syria on Thursday.

However, a few days ago, the Syrian Football Federation used the coronavirus pandemic and the lack of video assistant referee technology in Iran as pretexts to ask the AFC to cancel Tehran as the host. Syria demanded the game be played on neutral grounds. But the AFC rejected Syria’s request.

The decision outraged Syria’s coach Nizar Mahrous , who accused the top Asian football body of partiality in favor of Iran.

“Iran is witnessing a major outbreak of the coronavirus [pandemic]. The Azadi Stadium also lacks the video assistant referee technology. The AFC used double standards. It relocated Australia’s match to Doha and has not been impartial in its decision about our match against Iran,” he said in an interview with the website of the Syrian Football Federation.

“We are not in a good condition and I hope everyone will support the national team so that we can achieve a favorable result.”
Iran has yet to react to Mahrous’s comments.

Antonio Guterres congratulated Raeisi on his victory in the June presidential election and said the UN is ready to work with Iran to achieve peace, security, and development in the world.

“Simultaneously with your presidency, your country, region, and the world are at a critical juncture”, he said, adding, “Today, we face many common challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, and long and devastating conflicts in the Middle East.”

He also said Iran has remarkable human and natural resources and this can improve the well-being of Iranians, as well as other world nations.

The UN chief said, “The United Nations and I personally are interested in working with the new government under your administration to achieve peace and security, sustainable development and human rights around the world”.

“I count on working with your administration to advance the values and principles of the United Nations Charter”, he added.

At the end of his message, Guterres said, “Your Excellency, please accept my best wishes and best regards”.

Some foreign based anti-Iran groups including the MEK have waged a campaign against the Iranian president, claiming he committed human rights violations in Iran in the 1980s. They say Raeisi should not be allowed to attend the upcoming UN General Assembly summit. The Iranian President denies involvement in any rights abuses. He says whatever he did was to defend human rights.

Offences Committed by Evin Prison Guards, Inmates: Iran Judiciary

“Some of the scenes in these videos are related to the offences committed by prison officials and guards. They are regarded as crimes and can be prosecuted,” said Zabihollah Khodaian.

“And some of the scenes are related to inmates harming or killing themselves. So, one cannot say prison guards are always to blame,” he added.

“Anyway, the prison itself affects individuals mentally and makes them angry, which, in turn, leads to many fights inside the prison,” the spokesman explained.

“So, some inmates may get into a fight. We should pay attention to this point. Such incidents happen in prisons both in the country and in other parts of the world,” he added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said the leaked footage is a montage.

“Those who have released the videos have actually edited them. These videos may date back to previous months and years, and they have pieced these images together. Accordingly, we should not think that such incidents happen in prisons on a daily basis,” the spokesman said.

Siamak Mereh Sedgh told Fars News Agency that those policies are regulated in line with the interests of pro-Israeli lobbies and capitalists.

He invoked remarks by Iran’s leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that change of presidents doesn’t cause any change in Washington’s policies.

The Iranian MP added that the US policy on Iran has not changed since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and that they have sought to undermine the Islamic Republic and then bring about regime change.

Mereh Sedq also referred to Washington’s decision to leave Afghanistan alone in the midst of a war, saying all people should draw a lesson from what happened in Afghanistan and note the US doesn’t care an iota about other nations nor will it help anyone.

He added that the US only cares about those who fight or spy for them.

“With the cooperation of the Iran’s National Elite’s Foundation and ambassadors of Iran and Afghanistan, university students, who are among the scientific elite of Afghanistan, and have been admitted on scholarships, will be the guests of the Islamic Republic of Iran for seven years, to study general medicine at four top universities of Iran,” the chancellor Mohammad Reza Mir Jalili said.

The official added that 20 applicants, including 6 male and 14 female students, have been admitted.

“These students have been housed in student dormitories after being tested for Covid-19 and receiving vaccination cards,” Mir Jalili said.

“Currently, 94 non-Iranian students are studying at Yazd University of Medical Sciences.”

According to the UN, Iran has hosted millions of Afghan refugees in the past four decades. Following the recent Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, thousands of Afghans have flocked to the borders with Iran.

“We have had three rounds of talks with the Saudi side, so far, and the fourth round will be held now that the new Iranian administration has been formed,” Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) quoted Iraj Masjedi as saying.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have had no diplomatic relations following the attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran in January 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed Shia Muslim cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. Tehran-Riyadh ties have been strained over several issues such as oil export polices, Yemen war and relations with the United States.

Masjedi added during talks with senior Iraqi officials and politicians, Tehran reiterated its unflinching support for Baghdad with regards to its reconstruction and development.

“We have strong bonds with Iraqi people, and we have officially announced that Iran will firmly stand by Iraq to help rebuild damaged areas,” the top diplomat added.

He underlined that Iran-Iraq trade has reached $13 billion a year, saying, “Iraq is grappling with an electricity [shortage] crisis, and Iran has been the only country to stand by Iraq throughout this crisis,” Masjedi added.

He noted Iran exports some 47 million cubic meters of natural gas to Iraq for its power stations.

“Iraq pays for these gas exports erratically,” he added.

The ambassador further said that tens of thousands of Iraqi students are studying at Iranian universities.

He also underlined that Iran stood by Iraq in the fight against the ISIS terrorist group, adding several Iranians were martyred on Iraqi soil in the war on terror.
