Iran Urges Europe to Return to Commitments Instead of Expressing Concern

Ali Rabiei on Tuesday said their compliance with their obligations will help safeguard the agreement.

“Iran cannot live up to its obligations unilaterally. Instead of voicing concern, the European countries had better return to their commitments to set the stage for the preservation of the JCPOA, which would benefit all [signatories],” he said in a virtual press conference.

In the Q&A session, Rabiee was asked about the position adopted by France which says Iran will face serious consequences because it is reneging on its JCPOA commitments and that Tehran should immediately return to its obligations.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is the one which has complaints about the US and Europe’s violations of their commitments and major non-compliance with their obligations,” he said.

The spokesman noted Iran’s “remedial” measures whereby it scaled down its JCPOA commitments in five stages conform to the country’s rights stipulated in the nuclear deal.

“If parties to the JCPOA immediately return to their obligations under the JCPOA, Iran will stop implementing these remedial measures. So, it is not right to say that Iran is not making good on its commitments,” he noted.

“If France and other European parties to the deal really want to maintain and revive the JCPOA in such a way that Iran will benefit from the agreement, they should abide by their commitments under the JCPOA and seek to have cruel sanctions against Iran lifted,” the spokesman said.

The four-story facility is built on an area measuring around 2,600 sqm. The move is aimed at overhauling the innovative ecosystem of Tehran and urging university students to form innovative and technological teams and present educational innovative plans.

Present at the ceremony was Sorena Sattari, the head of the Science and Technology Department of the Presidential Office, who said innovation and creativity should come under the spotlight again.

“This change is fortunately taking place in many universities,” he noted.

Sattari said his department is supporting the development of spaces dedicated to the enhancement of innovation and creativity.

“Thanks to this support, around one million square metres of space dedicated to innovative plans have been added to the premises of universities,” he said.

The official added the innovative ecosystem has made its presence felt in society and innovation, creativity and development centers have stepped into this new path.

Tehran Blasts Canada for Working with US to Block Sales of Medicines to Iran

Saeed Khatibzadeh said Canada is in no position to speak about human rights.

“I’m warning the Canadian foreign minister and government that they should be accountable for their actions. These actions are taken by a government which has worked closely with the current US regime to keep medicines from reaching Iran, which has tried its utmost to contribute to efforts to block financial channels that could be used for the transfer of medicines and raw materials to Iran. This government is in no position to talk about human rights,” he said.

The spokesman said Canadian officials are cashing in on the sufferings of Iranian patients who are in need of medicines and medical equipment.

“I really regret to see some politics-hit Canadian statesmen are trying to take advantage of the deep grief of these families and use it [in their own favour] in their country’s domestic political arena. In other words, they want to make profit from people’s grief,” Khatibzadeh explained.

He also blasted Canadian authorities’ interventionist remarks about Iran.
“Since day one, Canadian officials have made interventionist and unacceptable comments. Till now, Canadian authorities have made the most obstructive moves and unwarranted interference … Their behaviour is politically motivated and lacks any legal grounds,” he added.

“They have no specific legal standing. By making such comments, they just seek to create room for themselves,” the spokesman said.
He warned that Canadian authorities will receive the appropriate response if they do not change tack.

“I urge the Canadian foreign minister to observe diplomatic courtesy and get to know his position and status and speak within that framework. Otherwise, they will get a different response,” he said.

No Change in Iran’s Borders as Karabakh Peace Deal Unfolds: Spokesman

Saeed Khatibzadeh said European lawmakers do not care about human rights violations.

“We believe the European Parliament should have shown earlier that it really cares about human rights. I don’t remember any of the resolutions ever adopted by the European Parliament has condemned the impudent and foul-mouthed US regime for violating the basic principles of human rights, adopting the ‘maximum pressure’ policy against Iranian people and waging an economic war [against Iran.],” he said.

“I don’t remember the European Parliament has ever adopted a resolution which has urged the European governments not to violate the JCPOA under the US pressure and not to get on board with the Trump and not to contribute to efforts that block the path of transfer of medicines and raw materials to Iran,” the spokesman noted.

He said many patients in Iran are suffering due to the United States’ sanctions.
“I don’t remember the European Parliament ever adopted a resolution to condemn the US move to prevent the transfer of drugs made by major pharmaceutical companies of Sweden and other countries and needed by ‘butterfly’ patients (those suffering from epidermolysis bullosa (EB)) and cancer patients in Iran,” he explained.

The spokesman urged European legislators to correct their approach and stop being hypocritical.
“Unfortunately, the European sides, especially the European Parliament, have a very dark record. I ask them to set aside hypocrisy and see for themselves which of their responsibilities they have fulfilled,” he noted.

“Adoption of selective resolutions, support for intelligence campaigns against Iran and, accordingly, the adoption of such resolutions are not only not acceptable, but strongly condemned,” he said.

US Claim That Iran Sanctions Reinstated 'Baseless': FM Zarif

Mohammad Javad Zarif made the comment in a tweet where he mentioned a few points regarding the virtual meeting held on December 21, 2020 of foreign ministers of member states which are parties to the JCPOA.

“In the foreign ministerial meeting of the remaining state parties to the JCPOA, I underlined that:

1. This is the last opportunity for the European Troika / the European Union to preserve the JCPOA.

2. Figures on Iran-EU trade from 2014 to 2019 indicate that the European Troika / the European Union have seriously breached their commitments under the JCPOA. 3.Like the United States, the European Troika, too, is responsible for the non-compensable losses inflicted on Iranians. 5. Crises and weapons in our region are often imported from the United States and the European Troika, but we collectively decided to take these issues off our agenda in that meeting. 6. ‘Democracies’ cannot ask the Iranian government to reneged on the [Iranian] Parliament’s legislation,” Zarif wrote in his tweet.

“And the last, but not least: 7. All should resume the effective implementation of the JCPOA. Whenever the US and the European Troika fulfill their duties, Iran will immediately roll back the tit-for-tat measures that it has adopted in response to the United States’ illegal withdrawal from the JCPOA and the European Troika’s blatant violations. Iranian people should feel the effects of the lifting of sanctions,” he added.

Bijan Namdar Zangeneh, who is on an official trip to Moscow, said the agreement was reached in meetings with Russian officials.

“During discussions in Moscow, we exchanged views on how to stabilize the global oil market,” he said.

“During these years, Russia has played a determining role in stabilizing the global oil market, and we held talks within the OPEC Plus framework given serious cooperation within OPEC. We shared similar ideas in that regard,” said the minister.

“The OPEC Plus meeting will be held on January 4. A meeting will also be held in February in this regard,” he explained.

“Both countries underlined that this (these meetings) is important for the maintenance of stability on the global oil market and the future possibilities in this arena,” he noted.

IAEA Chief’s Remarks about New Deal with Iran ‘Misinterpreted’: Spokesman

By

“Certain comments were made [by the IAEA director-general], but when asked about it, Mr Grossi said his remarks had been misinterpreted,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday.

“We have maintained that the JCPOA is not open to negotiation and no document can be added to the deal. He added a new interpretation to his earlier remarks and said what he meant was related to technical issues between Iran and the IAEA. We accept his interpretation of his own remarks and state that we will listen [to his views] within this framework,” Khatibzadeh noted.

The spokesman said Iran’s ties with the IAEA are totally technical, and we have always recommended that the ties must be maintained within the same technical framework.
“Indeed, the ties have always been clear, transparent and pragmatic whenever the IAEA had a totally technical view of issues,” he added.

“We have always advised the IAEA to stay away from political issues, political pressures and certain moves by third parties in order to maintain the weight, credibility and dignity of the IAEA and to keep its ties with Iran in the path of technical cooperation,” Khatibzadeh said.

His comments came after Grossi argued the upcoming US administration needs to strike a new deal with Iran due to the occurrence of what he claimed “too many breaches.”

Iran’s permanent representative to Vienna-based international organizations had earlier rejected Grossi’s remarks, saying there was no necessity for a separate document to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.

In a series of tweets on Friday, Kazem Gharibabadi reiterated Iran’s position on the 2015 landmark accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), that the agreement was not subject to renegotiation even as a new administration came to power in Washington.

“There would be no renegotiation on the deal and in case of its revival, there is no necessity for a new document on the Agency’s role. It’s not needed to complicate the situation,” Gharibabadi wrote in one of his tweets.
