Rouhani Says Quick Deal Possible If US Shows Honesty

President Hassan Rouhani added it has been his administration that handled efforts to resolve issues with Washington.

“We have done and finished our job,” he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the president underline that the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a good deal as Iran, the Europeans and even the US now agree that they should return to the deal.

He then recalled that former US President Donald Trump made numerous efforts to rally support against Iran on numerous occasions at the UN Security Council, but to no avail.

He said Trump suffered defeats in his efforts to counter Iran.

“Trump couldn’t get himself out of isolation,” said Rouhani.

“Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, but he was left alone,” he added.

“It was only the Israeli regime and a reactionary country that stood by him,” said President Rouhani.

He then thanked Iranian people for putting up a stiff resistance in the face of US sanctions.

The president said Iran managed to secure victories thanks to people’s patience and resistance and the government’s prudence.

The exhibit, which opened on May 26, 2021, displays antiquities from ancient statues to cotemporary pictures as well as manuscripts, pottery, carpets and textiles.

The items on show include objects associated with Iranian arts, culture and history belonging to the Islamic and contemporary eras of Iran.

The Victoria and Albert Museum of London is one of the leading and most important arts and design museums and the world’s largest exhibition of sculpture and design arts.

The museum was established in 1852, named after Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert.

Since the very beginning, the museum showed an interest in collecting items belonging to Iran, so much so that it has one of the most significant collections of Iranian artifacts from middle and modern eras.

It is said that holding such a large exhibition has been unprecedented in Britain in the past nine decades.

The exhibit marries studies on Ancient Iran and Islamic Iran, which had been reviewed separately until before the exhibition was set up. Now the studies are brought together and displayed next to a rich contemporary culture and arts section. The event makes it possible to view artistic achievements of different millennia as a single whole.

The exhibition is composed of ten sections.

Iran's Biggest Navy Ship Kharg Catches Fire, Sinks in Sea of Oman

According to the Iranian Navy, efforts failed to save the support ship Kharg, which caught fire around 2:25 a.m.

The firefighters tried to contain it, but their efforts failed and the vessel sank near the Iranian port of Jask near the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.

Photos circulated on Iranian social media of sailors wearing life jackets evacuating the vessel as a fire burned behind them.

Iran's Biggest Navy Ship Kharg Catches Fire, Sinks in Sea of Oman

Iran’s state TV referred to the Kharg as a “training ship.”

The Kharg was one of a few vessels in the Iranian navy capable of providing replenishment at sea for its other ships. It also can lift heavy cargo and serve as a launch point for helicopters. The ship, built in Britain and launched in 1977, entered the Iranian navy in 1984 after lengthy negotiations that followed Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The cause of the fire aboard the Kharg is not yet clear.

Iran Says Deals with Airbus, ATR to Be Revived If Vienna Talks Bear Fruit

Mohammad-Hassan Zibakhsh said on Tuesday Iran may also hold talks with the American plane manufacturer Boeing if the need arises.

However, he added, that is contingent upon the deal which is being reached in Vienna.

“We hope that would bear fruit,” he added.

Last month, Iran’s transportation minister Mohammad Eslami said both Airbus and Boeing have started works to return to contracts they signed with the country several years ago and before the United States imposed its sanctions on Tehran.

Eslami said Airbus and Boeing have been waiting for the results of ongoing talks in Austrian capital Vienna on Iran’s nuclear deal as they seek to resume their contractual obligations regarding Iran.

“The plane-manufacturing companies are returning from the previous path and beginning to implement the terms of the contracts,” Eslami said.

Iran had placed orders for purchases of 200 brand new planes from Airbus and Boeing after it signed a nuclear deal with global powers in 2015.

However, the plane contracts came to halt in 2018 after the US Treasury banned the two planemakers from supplying the jets to Iran.

Iran took delivery of only three Airbus planes and 13 short-haul airliners from French jet maker ATR in August 2018 just before the US sanctions were enacted.

Iranian airlines have relied on overhauls and chartered jets to perform their flights over the past years.

Ali Rabiei, however, expressed hope the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which is a key subject of the talks in Vienna, will be revived by the end of the tenure of incumbent Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s administration.

“There are no major obstacles to the revival of the JCPOA. It is natural that some events have happened due to the complexities caused by the Trump-era sanctions as well as the progress we have made,” he said.

“With the willpower which exists in capitals, this issue will be resolved, too,” he added.

He also expressed hope sanctions will soon be lifted. He made it clear that Iran is in no rush in the talks, but at the same time wouldn’t like to see the negotiations drag on.

The pilots of two-seater jet were killed as a result of the abnormal activation of the ejection seats, according to the IRIB news agency.

The incident took place on Tuesday morning at the Dezful air force base in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.

In 2018, another F-5 fighter jet had crashed in southern Iran, killing its pilot. The co-pilot managed to survive. The cause of the incident wasn’t revealed. 

Iran bought its F-5 fighters from the United States before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The Northrop F-5 is a family of supersonic fighter jets, initially designed in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. In some countries, it remains in service to support training exercises.

Earlier this month, a Swiss Air Force F-5 jet crashed in the central canton of Obwalden. The pilot of the F-5 Tiger successfully ejected from the cockpit and survived the crash.
