Iran Summons Tajik Envoy to Protest Baseless Accusations

The Tajik envoy was summoned on Friday afternoon by the head of the Foreign Ministry’s Central Asia Department, and received Iran’s strong protest at the irresponsible behaviour of the Tajik state TV and its move to level false and biased charges against Iran.

It was underlined in the meeting that the Islamic Republic of Iran seeks friendly and brotherly relations with Tajikistan based on mutual respect, but the continuation of such conduct by the Tajik government is against the norms of friendly relations.

The government in Dushanbe should be mindful of the consequences of such behaviours, the ambassador was told.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran expects the Tajik government to correct its approach, especially by stopping the Tajik state TV’s false propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the Iranian official said in the meeting.

The ambassador of Tajikistan, in turn, said he will convey the Islamic Republic’s protest to his respective government as soon as possible.

It was the second time this week that the Tajik ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry to receive Tehran’s strong protest against the same issue.

The Tajik envoy had earlier been summoned by the Iranian assistant foreign minister and head of the Foreign Ministry’s Eurasia Department.

Iran-Tajikistan relations have seen tensions since 2015, when the leader of Tajikistan’s Islamic Renaissance Party, Muhiddin Kabiri, attended an international conference in Tehran.

Tajikistan has banned the party as an “extremist and terrorist organization” after it blamed IRPT for 2015 attacks on a police station and an arsenal near Dushanbe that killed 26 people.

In 2017, bilateral relations between the two countries were further strained by a documentary aired by the Tajik state TV which accused Tehran of stoking the 1992-1997 Tajik Civil War by providing funds to the Islamist opposition and training militants.

The program reportedly featured three Tajiks confessing to a string of assassinations in the mid to late 1990s.

Over 5,300 Iranian Knowledge-Based Firms Opened in 6 Years: VP

During a Thursday visit to the Pardis Technology Park, a scientific centre affiliated with the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, Sattari said governmental supports for the domestic enterprises have resulted in the opening of over 5,300 knowledge-based companies in the past six years.

The Vice Presidency for Science and Technology is currently offering more than 140 various service packages to the knowledge-based and technological companies, he noted.

Stressing the need for plans to market the domestic knowledge-based, innovative and technological products for the local consumers, Sattari said the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) can help promote the local innovation ecosystem and knowledge-based economy.

Advertising the products of small and medium knowledge-based companies on television would dramatically contribute to their growth, he added.

The vice president finally reminded the inventors and researchers that the private sector would be eager to purchase and invest in a new product only when it is worth being commercialized and would solve a problem in the society.

Iran, Syria to Form Strategic Committee of Water Cooperation

In a meeting held via videoconference, Iranian Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian and Syrian Minister of Water Resources Tammam Ra’ad weighed plans to carry out a water cooperation agreement that Tehran and Damascus have inked in December 2019.

They also agreed on the formation of the strategic committee on water cooperation, co-chaired by the deputy ministers, via a videoconference within the next two weeks.

In the online meeting, the Syrian minister of water resources called for the promotion of cooperation with Iran in the water and wastewater treatment projects.

Expressing satisfaction with the involvement of strong and experienced Iranian companies in the water projects in Syria, Ra’ad said his country requires the experience and technical know-how provided by the Iranian companies for reconstruction of the water and sewage treatment plants.

Iran Rejects US Envoy’s Comments on Its Role in Afghanistan

In comments on Thursday, Mohammad-Ebrahim Taherian said the untrue and irresponsible remarks made by the US special representative about Iran’s role in the current developments of Afghanistan clearly demonstrate Washington’s inaccurate understanding of the developments in Afghanistan.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has officially and openly supported the launch of negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban and has expressed readiness to help advance the process of real and sustainable peace in that country,” he added.

“Stability in Afghanistan is an indispensable and permanent part of our policy on that country,” the Iranian envoy noted.

“The remarks made by the American official result from the gradual revelation of the mistake that architects of the Doha deal made in advancing the peace process and their resort to the blame game in order to justify the ineffectiveness of this policy by accusing the other countries,” he concluded.

His comments came after the US negotiator on Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, accused Iran of seeking to bog down its archenemy in its longest war in Afghanistan.

In remarks at a virtual event of the US Institute of Peace, Khalilzad said the United States would target any Iran-backed groups “taking action against us,” saying Washington was “monitoring them very closely.”

Iranian Drones Capture Close Footage of USS Nimitz

The video was released on Thursday by the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency.

The drones are seen zooming in on the flotilla to the point where each captured object’s details become clearly visible.

The footage begins by showing a sprawling arrangement of the Corps’ drone fleet and its speedboats, and is accompanied by a speech by the force’s Chief Commander Major General Hossein Salami, who addresses the country’s enemies.

“We say this to our enemies too as they are close to us, hear our voice, and see pictures depicting the growth of this manifestation of power,” General Salami is heard stating. “Take a salutary lesson. Should you perpetrate a blunder, we would crush you,” he says.

The commander notes, “Our naval force has stopped operating [too] close to the sea. By degrees, it will turn into a naval force outfitted with an [accompanying] air force, a seaborne air force. Here we stand strongly and steadfastly. We build up our power. We never stop. We advance on the horizon. We increase the combat radius of our weapons,” the official remarks.
