Ali Rabiei said respecting one another is one of the positive points of the Iranian society.
“Tolerance, coexistence and respecting each other is one of the features and strengths of the Iranian society,” he said while visiting a Tehran nursing home for Christians.

“I behalf of the government, I congratulate my fellow Christian countrymen as well as all Christians across the world on Jesus Christ’s birthday,” he said.

In Iran, he said, one may find, a mosque, a synagogue and even a Zoroastrians’ place of worship on the same street, “which indicates a sort of coexistence.”

The spokesman said issues that followers of other religions face in Iran should be addressed as well.

“The government believes all issues which apply to Iranians also apply to Iranian minorities,” he noted.

In a tweet, Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote “Donald Trump uses a worthless photo to recklessly accuse Iran.”

“Last time, the US ruined our region over WMD fabrications, wasting $7 trillion and causing 58,976 American casualties,” he added.

“Far worse this time. Trump will bear full responsibility for any adventurism on his way out,” he added.

His comments came after Trump warned Tehran in a Twitter post that he would hold “Iran responsible” in the event of a fatal attack on Americans in Iraq.

“Our embassy in Baghdad got hit Sunday by several rockets,” the US president tweeted earlier on Thursday, adding, “Three rockets failed to launch. Guess where they were from: IRAN.”

He then circulated rumors of “additional attacks” against Americans in Iraq, warning Iran to “think it over.”

Trump was pointing to Sunday’s rocket attack on the US embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. He also attached to his tweet an unauthenticated picture of three rockets.

A petrochemical project inaugurated by President Hassan Rouhani on Dec. 24, 2020, in Ilam, western Iran, with an investment of €866 million and a production capacity of 750,000 tonnes a year.

The projects were inaugurated by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who noted these achievements bear witness to Iran’s domestic potential.

He said the inauguration of projects worth more than 280 trillion rials indicates the power of the Iranian nation and amounts to a major blow to hegemonic powers.

“Even if this economic war goes on for 30 years, Iranian people will continue their resistance,” said the president.

He noted more than 70% of the petrochemical projects put into service on Thursday were developed and run by local experts.

“The oil and banking sectors were two key sectors targeted by the enemy on a daily basis during its economic war,” he added.

Rouhani noted US President Donald Trump, who is leading this evil war, is passing the last days of his political life.

He noted Iran’s petrochemical industry as well as a number of its executives had been sanctioned by Trump, but they take pride in being successful despite sanctions.

President Rouhani said Iran is now meeting its needs domestically amid the coronavirus outbreak

Iranian, Swedish Diplomats Discuss Yemen Crisis

During a videoconference call on Wednesday, the two sides discussed the latest political developments in Yemen as well as the dire humanitarian situation in the Arab country.

In their talks, they highlighted the importance of pushing on with mutual cooperation in order to help settle the Yemen crisis politically.

They also underscored that the international community is determined to increase humanitarian aid to Yemeni people, especially at a time when the country is gripped by the coronavirus outbreak.

The Iranian official said the Yemeni National Salvation Government remains committed to its commitments under the Stockholm agreement and is implementing it unilaterally. He lambasted the Saudi Coalition’s failure to keep its side of the bargain under the deal, and expressed hope the international community will adopt measures for the accord to be revived and fully implemented.

He also appreciated efforts by the UN secretary general and his special envoy for Yemen to advance the peace plan in the Arab country.

Khaji further underscored the importance of ending military strikes in order to prevent the worsening of the humanitarian disaster in Yemen.

The Swedish official, in turn, said Tehran and Stockholm have a lot in common and have made attempts to contribute to a political settlement of the Yemen crisis.

He noted Iran and Sweden enjoy great potential to play an active role in resolving the Yemen crisis, calling for closer coordination in that regard.
