The shipment which contained 500 tonnes of cement was dispatched on a trial basis to detect possible problems and challenges on that route.

The railway will be officially inaugurated in the coming days by officials of both countries.

The construction of the railway got underway in 2007. The railway connects the city of Herat in Western Afghanistan to Iran’s rail network. When completed and inaugurated, the route is predicted to transport two million tonnes of goods and 200 thousand passengers annually.

The top diplomat said among the specifications of the contemporary era is that a few countries, especially the US, tend to impose unilateral coercive measures against target countries to serve their foreign policy objectives.

He said such measures directly impacts on the right of sovereignty of affected countries as well as other nations.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is among the countries subjected to such inhumane moves,” said Gahribabadi at the virtual Diplomatic Seminar “Unilateral Coercive Measures in the coronavirus Framework.” Organized by Iran, Cuba and Venezuela’s permanent representatives to Vienna and attended by more than 38 countries.

“This situation coupled with the rapid and unrestrained spread of coronavirus across the world has proven its adverse consequences on such countries with regards to some challenges,” he said.

“In fact, in this arena, no nation can tackle these challenges alone, and the only available tool to achieve that end is cooperation and solidarity, not intensifying inhuman coercive measures against other nations to achieve malevolent political goals,” he said.

Gharibabadi noted the unilateral anti-human coercive measures adopted by the US are the reason for restricting capabilities to maintain and boost potential for the prevention and control of the spread of COVID-19.

“These inhumane measures seriously affect the health and lives of Iranians and other nations,” the top diplomat noted.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has tried its utmost and used all its power to prevent and control the further spread of this highly contagious virus. Still, the United States’ unilateral coercive measures, which have led to severe international banking restrictions on Iran, has highly circumscribed our ability to finance the imports of humanitarian items, including drugs and medical equipment,” he noted.

“At a time when the US government claims it has incorporated exemptions into its sanctions regime for importing humanitarian items, this claim is contrary to reality, and these exemptions have practically failed to make up for companies, banks and businessmen’s reluctance to accept risks for exports and funding humanitarian commodities,” he noted.

“Such measures have a negative impact on target countries’ ability to give adequate response to the ever-increasing health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic,” he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the top diplomat touched upon the assassination of eminent Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and addressing participants in the seminar, said, “At a time when Iran is under such inhuman sanctions by the US, a prominent Iranian scientist called Dr.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated, which runs counter to international law, including the principles of the UN Charter and fundamental human rights,” he said.

He praised efforts by the slain scientist, including his development of the first domestically-made kit for the coronavirus test.

“We categorically condemn this heinous terror act and call on countries and relevant international organizations to clearly and strongly condemn this terrorist act,” he noted.

He said it is time the international community denounced such criminal act and asked the US to immediately lift its illegal sanctions, so that target countries would be able to tackle this virus.

In a letter to President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf announced the law which would seek to have anti-Iran sanctions lifted and safeguard national interests.

“The letter obliges the government to implement the law,” said Ahmad Amirabadi, a member of the Parliament’s Presiding Board.

Earlier, the Guardian Council had approved the plan after corrections were made to it, and sent the legislation back to the Parliament.

Article one of the law instructs the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) to, immediately after the ratification of the act, produce 20%-enriched uranium for peaceful purposes and stockpile at least 120 kilogrammes of it annually, and fully and promptly meet domestic need for uranium enriched above 20-percent purity level for peaceful purposes.

Article two of the act also instructs the AEOI to increase, by at least 500 kilogrammes a month, the capacity for uranium enrichment and producing uranium enriched at purity levels suitable for each of peaceful purposes in the country, and to maintain and stockpile the enriched material.

Moreover, the law obliges the government to, two months after the legislation becomes binding in parliament, stop allowing inspections which go beyond the Safeguards Agreement, including the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol if the other signatories to the Iran nuclear deal fail to fully make good on their commitments toward Iran and banking relations are not normalized and obstacles to exports and Iran’s sale of oil products are not fully removed and forex proceeds from sales are not immediately and fully returned to the country.

It is stipulated in the law that anyone refusing to implement the law or blocking the implementation of the legislation will be subject to discretionary punishment under the Islamic Penal Code.

The two-week COVID-19 restrictions imposed in Tehran and dozens of other “red zones” across the country have reportedly decreased the number of fatalities caused by the virus, and the capital is now in the “orange zone”, according to officials.

As of Saturday, when the two-week period is over, almost all businesses (including shopping malls, restaurants, and the like) can reopen.

However, a travel ban from 9 pm to 4 am will be extended, the number of staff in government offices will remain restricted, and religious ceremonies will remain banned in Tehran and other orange zones across the state.

According to officials, these places will remain closed in Tehran (and other orange zones): Schools, universities, kindergartens and all educational institutes, swimming pools, theatres and cinemas, wedding and mourning halls, beauty salons, libraries, gyms, shrines, hookah bars, zoos and amusement parks.

While Tehran is no longer a red zone as per officials, nine provincial capitals are still in that zone and all businesses except for essential ones will remain shut down there. These cities include Mashhad, Rasht, Qazvin, Ardabil, Zahedan, Shiraz, Sari, Bojnourd, and Gorgan.

In this phone call, the Belgian top diplomat condemned the terrorist assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

The two sides also exchanged views on bilateral consular issues.

Belgium arrested Iranian diplomat Asadollah Assadi in 2018, and has kept him detained so far, on charges of being linked to a bomb attack plot in the French capital of Paris.

There are speculations that Iran might be interested in securing the release of Assadi in return for the release of an Iranian-Swedish citizen, Ahmadreza Djalali, who has been sentenced to death in Iran on charge of espionage.
