Iran Not to Give IAEA Any Access beyond NPT: Spokesman

Iran Sees ‘Positive Outlook’ for Ties with IAEA after Latest Report

“Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA is within the framework of NPT and our commitments,” Khatibzadeh said in a press briefing on Tuesday.

“We haven’t given them any further access and won’t do so,” he underlined.

“Our interaction with the IAEA so far has been a technical and respectful one despite certain differences,” he noted. 

He said Iran has always cautioned the IAEA about certain irresponsible behaviours. 

“We hope the IAEA’s new approach would remain a technical and professional one. Until then, we’ll continue our relation with the IAEA based on the same framework,” he added.

Iran Reports 382 New Deaths Caused by COVID-19

In a press briefing on Tuesday, Health Ministry spokeswoman Sima-Sadat Lari reported 13,881 new cases of COVID-19 infection, raising the total number of cases to 975,951.

So far, she added, 677,963 patients have recovered from the disease or been discharged from the hospital.

Lari said 5,840 patients are also in critical conditions caused by more severe infection.

The spokeswoman noted that 6,168,637 COVID-19 tests have been taken across the country so far.

She said the high-risk “red” zones include Tehran, Qom, Mazandaran, East Azarbaijan, Isfahan, Yazd, Ardabil, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan, Hamadan, West Azarbaijan, Bushehr, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Alborz, Lorestan, Markazi, Ilam, South Khorasan, Kermanshah, North Khorasan, Semnan, Gilan, Zanjan, Qazvin, Kurdistan, and Kerman provinces.

The “orange” and “yellow” zones also include Golestan, Hormozgan, Fars, and Sistan-and-Baluchestan provinces, she added.

Iran Slams Saudi for Its Failure to Condemn Fakhrizadeh Assassination

Speaking in a press briefing on Tuesday, Saeed Khatibzadeh said all other Persian Gulf littoral states have reacted to the act of terror.

“Unfortunately, only one country (Saudi Arabia) has not adopted any positions [on the assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh]. The other six of the seven Persian Gulf Arab states have adopted a serious stance,” he explained.

“They either issued statements in condemnation of the assassination, or had phone contacts with Mr. Zarif,” he said.

“That country (Saudi Arabia) should reconsider its policies,” Khatibzadeh said.

He then touched upon a recent trip by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

“We saw [US Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo made a hasty and urgent trip to the region.

It is clear why this bankrupt secretary of state of the Trump administration is so anxious and doing things so hurriedly. This anxiety and rush is aimed at fending off a major historic defeat, or probably the biggest historic defeat that the US regime could have ever suffered,” he said.

“They compromised all their credit and reputation and used everything available to them to pressure the Iranian nation. They failed to achieve any of their objectives,” said the spokesman.

He then expressed hope those acting against Iran would rethink their policies.

“We would like to think that they are correcting the approach they have adopted.

Otherwise, if any trace is found of anyone [’s involvement in the assassination], as Iranian officials have rightly said, those ordering and perpetrating the terrorist act will be punished,” he said.

Blow of Sanctions on Iran Neutralized: President

In an address to a Tuesday session of the Administration’s Economic Coordination Headquarters, President Rouhani said the enemy has failed to achieve its main purpose in imposing the sanctions and economic war against Iran, namely the economic collapse of the Islamic Republic.

In spite of the harmful effects of sanctions on Iran’s economy and the livelihood of people, “we can assert strongly that the impacts of sanctions have been neutralized,” the president added.

The success in tackling the sanctions has been gained with resistance and prudent policies, President Rouhani stressed, saying the enemy’s objective to disrupt the Iranian society’s calm, psychological security and economic stability has also ended in failure.

“Those who have failed to meet the objective of halting Iran’s economy during two years and a half of implementation of the anti-Iranian policy of maximum pressure are now angry about the clam and the improving course in Iran’s economy, and are seeking to send negative waves to (Iran’s) economy in these few weeks,” the president added, pointing to the termination of the US administration’s term.

“People are confident that the economic resistance has born fruit and those who have imposed sanctions will have to reverse their approach. That’s why the predictions of future have become positive, as the economic behavior in various markets attest to it,” President Rouhani stated.

On the efforts to finalize the next year’s national budget bill, the president said the budget bill prepared by the administration would pave the way for the country’s progress and development of infrastructures.

The main strategy in preparing the next year’s budget is to maintain and strengthen the process of development and support the vulnerable groups, the president explained, hoping that removal of the obstacles would accelerate the country’s development pace in the next Iranian year, which begins in March 2021.

President Rouhani finally noted that oil revenues have been excluded from the next year’s budget, highlighting the administration’s detailed planning and accurate calculations coupled with the experience of countering severe economic sanctions.

Fakhrizadeh’s Assassination Fails to Sap Iranian Nation’s Will: Spokesman

Iran Vows to Respond If US Makes Any New Strategic Mistake

In comments on Tuesday, Ali Rabiei said terrorists will fail to attain their goals.
“Terrorists will definitely not be able to achieve their objectives,” he said.

“Our nuclear and defence know-how cannot be subjected to terror, nor is it reversible,” the spokesman said.

“Our people were not only not affected by the psychological dimensions of the assassination, … but they became more vigilant and more united in safeguarding national interests against their real enemies,” the spokesman said.

Rabiei said the assassination pursued multiple objectives.
“The act of terror was aimed at disrupting the psychological tranquility of the society, discouraging people from achieving victory and tackling the ‘maximum pressure’ policy, creating confusion in Iran’s strategy, forcing Iran to play in the enemy’s court, and finally disrupt regional security and remove rays of hope for peace and calm,” he said.

Rabiei underlined that terrorists also would like to disrupt international security as potential upcoming changes will create an opportunity for the Iranian nation to reclaim its rights.

He said terrorists are well aware that they cannot put the brakes on Iran’s scientific progress, are unable to keep Iran from playing an effective role in ensuring peace and security and cannot keep Iran from enjoying peaceful nuclear technology; so, they carried out that act of terror.

The spokesman added the tragic event could have been prevented if security protocols had been observed.

Iran Urges Muslim Nations to Revive Tourism amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Iranian Deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Vali Teymouri said cooperation among international institutions to keep tourism alive during the coronavirus pandemic is of utmost significance.

Teymouri was speaking at a virtual meeting of tourism ministers of member states of the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMCEC).

He touched upon possible changes in the general structures of travel in the post-corona era, and highlighted the need to review target markets, redefine tourism products and improve electronic services.

The webinar event focused on “reaction to COVID-19” and “improvement of entrepreneurship for competition in the tourism industry.”

The Iranian minister presented a report on Iran’s measures to manage tourism amid the coronavirus crisis, including support for those working in the tourism industry by offering rescue packages to them, writing off their debts, granting them low-interest loans and long grace periods, introducing health protocols and issuing regulations for smart travel.

He said the tourism industry has suffered considerable losses, urging Islamic nations to share ideas and exchange experience to help tackle the coronavirus crisis in the tourism sector.

Iran MPs Okay Bill to Tackle Sanctions, Ordering Bans on Nuclear Inspections

The bill instructs the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) to produce at least 120 kilogrammes of 20%-enriched uranium annually and stockpile it in the country and use it for peaceful purposes as needed.

After the bill is signed into law, the government also has a duty to meet, fully and without delay, domestic industries’ need for uranium enriched up to a purity level of 20 percent and above for peaceful purposes.

Under the bill, the government would also be obliged to raise the country’s uranium enrichment and production to realize the enrichment capacity of 190 thousand separative work units (SWU).

The bill also requires the government to make use of advanced centrifuges, including IR6 and IR2M types.

The government will also be duty-bound to halt inspections of its nuclear sites which are beyond the Additional Protocol.

The double-urgency of the motion had already been approved on parliament floor. The move followed the assassination of eminent Iranian nuclear and defense scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Meanwhile Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the government believes the motion proposed by legislators is neither useful, nor necessary.

“Unfortunately, the viewpoints of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have not be incorporated into the Parliament’s recent legislation,” he said.

“We hope the Parliament will pay attention to the expert views of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the precise look which exists in the government and state institutions,” he added.

Lawmakers adopted the motion to tackle anti-Iran sanctions following the assassination of prominent Iranian nuclear and defence scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Evidence Implicates Israel in Iranian Scientist’s Slaying: State TV

The network said Tel Aviv had recruited elements that were adversaries of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in order to assassinate Fakhrizadeh.

According to the same source, the weapon used to kill the scientist had been made in Israel and controlled by satellite.

Many Iranian authorities and media outlets have suggested there is ample evidence implicating the Israeli regime in the scientist’s slaying.

Earlier, Press TV had made the claim quoting its own source.
