Iran Praises Russian Mediation to End Karabakh Fighting

In a thread on his Twitter account on Monday, Mahmoud Vaezi said Iran praises Russia’s efforts to mediate between Baku and Yerevan and welcomes the ceasefire and an end to the war in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

“We hope that the peace talks would begin as soon as possible and the results of negotiations would conform with the internationally-recognized rights of the two countries (Azerbaijan and Armenia), so that it would not lead to another war,” Vaezi added.

The Iranian official also noted that the region has the necessary capacities for the settlement of problems and guaranteeing peace and security.

“Moscow’s talks with the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia is a good sign of the potential of the independent regional powers, and Iran is fully prepared for cooperation and assistance in the process of peace and stability in accordance with the international law,” he stressed.

After a series of talks, brokered by Russia and held in Moscow on October 9, the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia have agreed on a ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh region for the exchange of detainees and retrieving the bodies of victims of armed clashes.

A new round of fighting between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia broke out on September 27, with intense battles raging in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Iraq Agrees to Release Iran’s Assets: Top Banker

In remarks on Monday, Abdolnasser Hemmati said he held a trilateral meeting with Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq Mustafa Ghalib Mukheef and Chairman of Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) Salem Jawad Abdul Hadi Al-Jalabi during his visit to Baghdad.

The Iraqi authorities have agreed to release Iran’s frozen funds for the purchase of basic commodities after extensive talks on trade exchanges, Hemmati added, noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran holds remarkable financial sources in the Iraqi banks earned by the export of electricity and gas.

Under the new agreement, the main obstacle to the release of Iran’s assets in the executive sphere has been removed, as the Central Bank of Iraq and the TBI face no more restrictions, he added.

Hemmati also pointed to his meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi following the tripartite negotiations with the bank authorities, saying the Iraqi premier has hailed the agreement on the release of Iranian assets and has promised to pursue the implementation of the deal on a weekly basis.

The top Iranian banker then expressed hope that the new deal with Iraq would result in positive steps in the promotion of economic and banking interaction between the two “friendly and brotherly” neighbors.

The assets held in Iraq belong to the Central Bank of Iran, which is the main supplier of the basic demands in various sectors such as industry, agriculture and healthcare, he explained, saying Tehran would begin to withdraw money from those funds according to its needs.

The commodities that are categorized as basic needs are exempted from the cruel and unilateral sanctions imposed by the US, the Iranian official noted.

US Election Developments of No Concern to Iran: Spokesman

Saeed Khatibzadeh told reporters on Monday that Iran will only act in line with safeguarding its national security, regardless of what events are unfolding in the United States’ election arena.

“As for the US presidential race, it is none of our business, at all, whose election campaign it is and who benefits from what,” he said.

“Our response is a clear one. We do not consider who benefits from our response, after all. We will do whatever which is in line with our defence policies. Whoever, with whatever intention and whatever analysis, encroaches upon the realm of our security will receive a slap in the face,” he added.

“And it is not important in whose interest or to whose detriment our response will be. This is a domestic issue. Iran’s policy is a calculated one,” the spokesman noted.

Khatibzadeh said Iran talks to the United States from a position of strength.

“Our language is one of power. When talking to Washington, we are not using a language of fear as the Europeans do. When talking to Washington, we do not use the language that US cronies in the region use. Our language is the one used by a country with thousands of years of civilization and history, a country with power and with an understanding of its potential as well as of the United States’ numerous weaknesses in the region and in the world,” he said.

“The spokesman then warned the United States against making any strategic mistake in dealing with Iran.

“It will be a nightmare for the US if it makes a strategic mistake in understanding Iran’s response,” he said.

“We have already said it, and say it again. Whatever comment Washington is making nowadays is more out of fear than power. They are worried about Iran’s response. Iran would give a response neither to please nor to offend anyone. Iran would give a response, without any tolerance, to defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and people’s interests.,” he said.

Iran Shatters One-Day Record of COVID-19 Deaths for 2nd Day in Row

Over 10,000 Iranians Contract COVID-19 in 24 Hours

In her press briefing on Monday, Health Ministry Spokeswoman Sima-Sadat Lari said the new deaths increase the overall death toll to 28,816.

She also reported 4,206 new cases of COVID-19 infection, raising the total number of cases to 504,281.

So far, she added, 409,121 patients have recovered from the disease or been discharged from the hospital.

Lari said 4,533 patients are also in critical conditions caused by more severe infection.

The spokeswoman noted that 4,340,831 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, and Kerman provinces.

The “orange” zones also include Golestan, Hormozgan, Kurdistan, and Fars provinces, she added.

Tehran Berates Europe for Failing to Fulfil Commitments

Speaking in a Monday press conference, Saeed Khatibzadeh said Europe is expected to make good on its obligations.

“We just expect them to abide by their commitments. With regards to the JCPOA, Europe has, unfortunately, made its credibility hostage to Washington’s satisfaction. We have told them, time and again, that this is a wrong strategy,” the spokesman said at his weekly press conference.

“We believe whoever dictates these orders in Washington, and whoever executes these orders in the world, are accomplices to the crime being committed against the Iranian nation,” he added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Khatibzadeh noted that Iran is doing its utmost to meet domestic needs for food and medicines despite Washington’s sanctions.

“Although the US has put serious restrictions on food and drug sales to Iran, this does not relieve the [Iranian] government of its responsibility [to provide those items], and the government is working seriously despite all difficulties, and the burden is on our shoulders and we shouldn’t pass the buck to the people, and we should make every effort,” he said.

The spokesman underscored that US sanctions are turning into a toothless means.

“Victory is close at hand. Despite these anti-Iran shows, the United States’ anti-Iran sanctions are on their last legs. The sanctions have come to a point where they are devouring and defeating themselves. If you overuse a tool, it will no longer be effective,” he said.

“The United States is frantically using the dollar against other currencies, is frantically using monetary and financial mechanisms to control the whole monetary system of the world, is frantically using sanctions against anyone who does not submit to the US,” said the spokesman.

“These moves have led to the awakening of the world and resulted in the formation of many alternative mechanisms, including transactions using domestic currencies, barter exchanges, etc. This is just the beginning, and the more we move forward, the more the US will realize that it has suffered a strategic defeat due to its tactical mistakes,” he said.

Rascals in US Driveling about Iran’s Defence Power: Leader

Rascals in US Driveling about Iran’s Defence Power

In comments on Monday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Washington authorities are scared of Iran’s power.

“These words of drivel are due to their fear as well as backwardness in this domain, but we must maintain this logical system of calculation despite their propaganda campaigns,” said the Leader at a graduation ceremony for Armed Forces cadets.

“No one’s mind should be distracted by the ballyhoo raised by scoundrels ruling the US nation,” he said.

Ayatollah Khamenei said having a proper assessment of threats and potentialities in the areas of “defence power”, “economic strength and stability” and “cultural potential and power” is the prerequisite to maintaining national might and identity and preserving national interests.

The Leader described “defence power” as one of the pillars of national might.
He underlined if nations are bereft of defence power, countries such as the US and a few others, which seek to launch aggression against, encroach upon and abuse other peoples, will not leave nations alone and put their tentacles on whatever they have.

Iran's President Urges Expansion of Ties with Spain

President Rouhani on Monday sent separate messages to King of Spain Philip VI and to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, congratulating them on the national day of Spain, known as the Fiesta Nacional de Espana.

The president expressed hope that the joint efforts by Tehran and Madrid would strengthen the friendship between the two nations, help remove the obstacles, enhance the relations in
all fields, and promote the international cooperation.

In the message to the Spanish king, President Rouhani said Iran and Spain enjoy close and historical relations that provide a basis for friendship between the two nations and stronger bonds in future.

The Iranian president also said in the message to the Spanish prime minister, “Constructive interaction and expansion of relations on the basis of mutual respect and interests with the friendly country of Spain, as one of the major European Union states, has been a priority of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the past years.”

In the letters, President Rouhani also wished the Spanish leaders and nation health, success and prosperity.

Iran Condemns Canada’s Human Rights Resolution

“The Islamic Republic of Iran deplores the violation of a ceasefire announced amid the recent clashes between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia, calls on the two parties to exercise more self-restraint, condemns the missile attacks on the vital infrastructure, the residential areas of cities, and the killing of civilians, and expresses sympathy with the bereaved families,” Khatibzadeh said in a statement on Monday.

He made the remarks in reaction to the violation of ceasefire between Baku and Yerevan in the fighting over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran once again calls on the two sides to remain committed to the ceasefire and resume their talks within the framework of the international law, respect for the territorial integrity of each other, and evacuation of the occupied cities,” he added.

The spokesman then expressed Iran’s readiness to help facilitate the negotiations for achieving permanent and sustainable peace and solution in the region.

The Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia have accused each other of violating the terms of a ceasefire in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region brokered by Russia.

While the ceasefire was supposed to halt fighting to allow ethnic Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh and Azeri forces to swap prisoners and war dead, both sides accused each other of breaking the truce within minutes after it took effect on Saturday.
