In a telephone conversation with Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Wednesday, President Rouhani expressed Iran’s determination to maintain brotherly relations with the Persian Gulf littoral states through dialogue and understanding.

The president also hoped that the new developments in the international relations would make certain regional countries modify their hostile polices and would also lead to opportunities for dialogue and intra-regional compromise.

The regional countries must exercise wisdom, prudence, rationality and sincere dialogue to overcome the policy of bullying and reliance on the outsiders, President Rouhani underlined.

“Sadly, letting the Zionist regime into the region will be the factor behind insecurity and instability, and it is really surprising that some neighbours link their security to relationship with the criminal Zionist regime, which is the enemy of the entire region and the Islamic countries,” the president added.

“We the regional countries can resolve our problems as neighbours and brothers,” President Rouhani stated, expressing confidence that the upcoming months would mark better conditions in the regional relations.

Hailing Iran’s friendly and growing ties with Qatar, President Rouhani called for the expansion of bilateral relations in all fields of mutual interest, particularly the economic and trade cooperation.

“Rapid implementation of the agreements between Tehran and Doha would benefit the two nations and the region,” the Iranian president noted.

Pointing to the deals that the officials of the two countries have agreed on during the latest meeting of Iran-Qatar Joint Economic Cooperation Commission in Isfahan, President Rouhani hoped that all agreements would be carried out.

In response to an invitation from the Emir of Qatar to pay an official visit to Doha, President Rouhani hoped the visit would take place at the appropriate time.

For his part, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani lauded the “strategic and growing” relations between Qatar and Iran, saying Doha will do its utmost to carry out the agreements with Tehran, which he said would serve the interests of the two nations.

On the regional developments, the Qatari Emir said, “We believe that cooperation between Iran and the Persian Gulf countries must further grow in all fields, including for the security of regional waters.”

The Emir of Qatar also emphasized that Iran must be a party to the negotiations for any agreement on ensuring regional security.

“All of us have been harmed and suffered from a series of irresponsible moves by some countries in the region,” Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani added, hoping that the new international developments would result in the resumption of talks between Iran and the Persian Gulf states.

The Emir also invited President Rouhani to pay an official visit to Doha.

Iran Says Not Going to Renegotiate Every Single Provision of JCPOA

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Chief of Staff of the Iranian president Mahmoud Vaezi said on Wednesday the reality is that the other parties to the Iran deal did not deliver on their commitments under the agreement.

“They failed to live up to their commitments, so we scaled down our obligations in five stages,” he said.

“Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced today that if they return to the agreement as it was on January 20, 2017, the day when Mr. Trump took office, then we will be ready to return to that, too,” the official explained.

He also made it clear that no new talks are to be held on the JCPOA.

“We are not going to sit down for talks and discuss every provision of the JCPOA. … I believe we shouldn’t behave as if some fresh negotiations are to be held on the JCPOA,” he noted.

“Talks on the JCPOA have already been held, and they resulted in a framework, which has gone through its stages both in Iran and in other countries,” he said.

“What has happened is that countries, especially the United States, failed to make good on their commitments. Our most important demand and condition is that all signatories to the JCPOA, both Iran and other parties, must respect their obligations under the deal,” said Vaezi.

End of Trumpism Era Manifestation of Iran’s Victory: President

President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday touched upon the crimes committed by US President Donald Trump against the Iranian nation.

“This person committed the worst crimes in US history against independent nations, especially the people of Iran, Palestine and other nations which were under his oppression, and his defeat is due to his failure at international circles and legal bodies as well as his failure by moral criteria and before the public opinion both in the US and across the world,” said the president in a weekly cabinet session.

“This man took anti-human, terrorist and savage actions against the Iranian nation even during the coronavirus pandemic, and kept increasing his pressure against our country until White House rulers opposed the IMF move to lend Iran $5 billion in loans to buy medical equipment and tackle the coronavirus pandemic,” he said.

“The reasons behind his failure were his wrong foreign policy and medical policies as well as his racist moves and unreliability,” President Rouhani said.

Rouhani said the next US administration should make great moves in order to be able to make up for past mistakes and compensate for all actions that have tarnished the United States’ image.

“We hope the future US administration will, in its first steps, openly condemn Trump’s policies toward Iran as well as his anti-rights and terrorist moves, and make up for the wrong policies that his administration has adopted over the past four years,” he said.
Rouhani noted that if the next US administration has the resolve required, it would be easier to resolve the problems.

The two countries can both announce that they will return to where they were before January 20, 2017, he added.
Rouhani stressed that Iran’s policy is compliance for compliance, action for action, and de-escalation for de-escalation.

Iran Condemns Bamiyan Terror Attack, Sympathizes with Afghans

In his Wednesday statement, Khatibzadeh also expressed sympathy with the government and nation of Afghanistan.

At least 14 people were killed and 45 wounded when two explosions ripped through a marketplace in the city of Bamiyan in central Afghanistan, according to officials.

Zabardast Safai, the police chief of the eponymous province said on Tuesday the explosives were hidden at the side of a road in Bamiyan, home to many members of the mainly Shiite Hazara ethnic minority.

The victims included 12 civilians, including children, and two traffic police officers.

Spokesman Tariq Arian said two magnetic bombs caused the blasts in the crowded market, calling it an “unforgivable crime”.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Taliban, which has been waging a rebellion against the foreign-backed Kabul administration since being toppled in late 2001, denied involvement in the bombings.

Bamiyan, a famous tourist resort among local and international tourists, was long cherished as one of the relatively safest corners in Afghanistan due to its remote location in the central mountains.

The dominant local tribe, the Hazara, opposed the Taliban, who massacred thousands of Hazara during their rule.

The mainly Shiite minority has often been targeted by groups such as the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan and also by the Taliban in the 1990s.

Iran Pays No Heed to Pompeo’s Words in His Last Days in Office: Spokesman

Iranian Government Spokesman Ali Rabiei said the White House has, so far, failed to accept this defeat due to their vanity and short-mindedness.

Rabiei made the comment in response to remarks by a reporter who quoted Pompeo as saying that the “maximum pressure” policy against Iran has been successful, and that all options remain on the table.

The spokesman also described Pompeo as “the worst secretary of state in the United States’ history.”

“Of course, if the ‘maximum pressure’ policy and unprecedented sanctions have been aimed at affecting our people’s livelihoods and impeding their access to medicines and food and creating troubles for Iranians across the world by cutting them off from the international financial network, or if they wanted to make our people believe that ruthless and merciless US leaders have been more successful, I should say that they succeeded in achieving those objectives,” he said.

Rabiei noted “this bankrupt US administration” should be reminded that it has no option left on the table and they have reached a deadend.

“The reality is that the days of these failed policies and those behind them are numbered, and we don’t care about their hollow rhetoric,” he noted.

The top general, a former defence minister, is an advisor to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei for defence affairs.

Dehqan said on Tuesday he seeks to further empower society, reinforce infrastructure and upgrade the country and nation’s dignity on the world stage.

He said he does not specifically belong to either of the two major political camps in Iran, i.e., reformists and conservatives.

“Rather, I believe in the nature and origin of the Revolution, which was the manifestation of people’s demand,” he noted.

The general said gone are the days of political bickering and disputes in the country.

He urged political groups to work towards meeting people’s demands before seeking partisan demands.

Dehqan was born on March 3, 1957 in the Poodeh village in central Isfahan province. He holds a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Metallurgy Engineering from the University of Tehran. He also completed his PhD program in Management at the same university.

He joined Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in 1979. He served as the deputy commander of the IRGC Air Force from 1986 to 1990, and was the commander of the air force from 1990 to 1991.

General Dehqan served as Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the IRGC from 1992 to 1996. He also served as the deputy defence minister in the seventh administration, and vice president in the eighth and ninth administrations.

He was the defence chief in the eleventh administration. In a decree by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on August 20, 2017, General Dehqan was designated as his advisor for defence and logistics affairs.
