Iran Urges Promotion of Economic Cooperation with Neighbours

Addressing the second meeting on “Promotion of Cooperation with Neighbours”, held in Tehran on Monday, President Rouhani said the expansion of economic cooperation with the neighbouring countries plays an important role in dealing with the problems.

One of Iran’s main priorities is to strengthen strategic relations with the neighbouring states, particularly in the economic and trade arena, the president noted, adding that the historical and cultural bonds among the regional nations allow for enhanced cooperation that would consequently serve the common interests of the regional governments and nations.

Foreign relations cover a much broader prospect than the foreign policy, President Rouhani stated, saying all Iranian ministries should take the opportunities to establish and broaden foreign relations.

Highlighting Iran’s support for the friendly and brotherly neighboring nations in the past, the president said Tehran welcomes the promotion of bilateral and regional interaction with the neighbours.

“We, all of our brothers in the region, and Iran’s neighbours must amicably push for the development of the entire region. Coordinated and shared economy in the region would contribute to peace and security,” he added.

The president also called for the promotion of tourism, joint investment plans, as well as banking and financial cooperation among the neighbors.

After hearing reports from a number of cabinet ministers, President Rouhani finally stressed the need to boost cooperation between the private sectors of Iran and the neighbouring countries in customs affairs, transportation industry and exchange of commodities.

Leader Calls US Sanctions ‘Crime against Iranian Nation’

Head of the Leader’s military office Brigadier General Mohammad Shirazi had a telephone conversation with Commander of Iran’s Air Defence Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi-Fard on Monday to relay a message from Ayatollah Khamenei.

“Send my regards to the vigilant personnel of the country’s Air Defense. The country owes its security to Air Defense’ preparedness and wakefulness. Our pious people are grateful for your unwavering efforts. Be appreciative of this,” the Leader told the Air Defence units in the message, passed on by General Shirazi.

Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely “meant for defence”, and that Iran’s defence capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.

Iranians Professional Footballers in Europe

Europe is widely and publicly known as the holy land of football; this is due to the achievements of the top five European Leagues. The Spanish La Liga, the English Premier League, the French Ligue 1, the German Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A are the five best leagues currently reigning in Europe.

Players that seek to make their mark usually move to Europe to establish their might, but that’s only if they have the ability to do so. European football leagues naturally welcome players from anywhere in the world providing they have enough talent.

In this article, we will be talking about the Iranian footballer currently taking on the stage of European football. Iranian players have a history with European leagues as four Iranians have appeared in the English Premier League over the years and several others have also played in other European leagues.

Although Iranian football fans might feel reluctant to say goodbye to their country’s brightest talent, taking their football career to Europe will give Iran national team an edge over other countries following the experience and the changes the players will have undergone there.

 

Sam Ghoddos – French Ligue 2

 

Sam Ghoddos, who can be deployed as a midfielder and also a winger, plays for Ligue 2 side Amiens SC. He began his football career in Swedish club Limhamn Bunkeflo back in 2011 before signing for Ostersund in 2016 spending three campaigns with the Swedish club.

He signed for French club Amiens in the summer of 2018 for €3.8 million becoming the first Iranian to ever play in the Ligue 1. He bagged four goals in 27 league matches for the club in his first campaign but unfortunately, he was unable to rescue the team from relegation as they currently play in the French Ligue 2, his predictions for scoring was also relatively due to his football activities on the pitch.

 

Sadegh Moharrami – Croatian First Football League

 

Playing as a prolific right-back, Sadegh Moharrami began his football career in the Persian Pro League with Malavan in 2013 before being sold to Persepolis in 2016, where he lifted the Iranian league twice and the Iranian Super Cup. In the summer of 2018, he was eventually sold to Croatia to join Dinamo Zagreb. Relying on his defensive and attacking skill, he spent two seasons with the club helping them lift the Croatian First Football League in 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaign.

He currently plays for Lokomotiva, a prolific club in the Croatian football league.

 

Amir Abedzadeh – Primeira Liga

 

Being an Iranian football fan, you all should remember the name Ahmad Reza Abedzadeh, the Iranian legendary goalkeeper. Well, Amir Abedzadeh is the son of that legendary figure and he also plays the goalkeeping position.

The 27-year-old, who has won three caps for the Iran national team, currently plies his trade with Portuguese club Maritimo in the Primeira Liga. He joined the Portuguese club during the winter transfer window back in 2017. Before that, he played for Persepolis, Ran Ahan.

 

Alireza Jahanbakhsh – English Premier League

 

Alireza, who began his professional football career with Damash Gilan, currently plays as an attacking midfielder for English club Brighton & Hove Albion following his move from Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar during the summer transfer window back in 2018 for £17 million fees.

In his first season with the English club, the 27-year-old player, who can be deployed as a winger, helped the club battle against relegation in the 2018/19 campaign. For the 2019/20 campaign, the Iranian was not able to make much impact on the team as he mostly on the sidelines due to injuries for the season.

President Rouhani Invites Malaysian King to Visit Iran

President Rouhani Invites Malaysian King to Visit Iran

n a Monday letter to Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin al-Mustafa Billah Shah, Rouhani congratulated the Malaysian king, nation and government on the country’s national day, which marks the independence of Malaysia from the British rule in 1957.

Praising the Malaysian government and nation for their stances and efforts, and highlighting the two countries’ common standpoint concerning confrontation with the crises that have come to afflict the Muslim world, including Palestine’s continued occupation and the Palestinians’ ongoing suffering, President Rouhani said dialogue and constructive interaction among Islamic governments is the only way out of the problems facing the Muslim world.

Accordingly, Rouhani added, the monarch was welcome in the Islamic Republic for talks and consultation on the Muslim world’s predicaments and the Islamic Republic’s proposals aimed at bringing about peace and security.

The Iranian president said the Malaysian king’s potential visit would also feature further development of ties with the “friendly and brotherly” country of Malaysia.

“I hope that under the aegis of the existing political will, the countries will witness further solidarity between the two nations and development of their mutual relations in all political, economic, cultural, and international areas,” he added in the letter.

Rouhani finally wished health and success for the king and prosperity for the Malaysian nation.

Similar to Iran, Malaysia famously and resolutely avoids recognizing Israel in protest at Tel Aviv’s apartheid policies targeting the Palestinians. The Malaysian passport bears a blunt reminder of Kuala Lumpur’s stance on the matter by forbidding the document from being applied for entry into the occupied territories.

Malaysia’s Independence Day commemorates the Malayan Declaration of Independence of 31 August 1957, and is defined in Article 160 of the Constitution of Malaysia. The day is marked by official and unofficial ceremonies and observances.

Zarif Raps US Resort to ‘Law of Jungle’, Urges Americans to Wake Up

Iran Says Ready for Swap Deal with US on Prisoners with Dual Nationality

“‘All options on the table’ has long been a staple of US foreign policy,” Zarif tweeted on Sunday night.

“It simply means the law of the jungle: disregard for a fundamental principle of int’l law: Non-Use of Force,” he added.

“Now, the Trump regime is using the same threat against Americans. A wake-up call? God willing.”

He made the remarks in reaction to statements by acting US Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf who told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that “all options continue to be on the table” to end violent protests in Portland, Oregon, including sending in federal law enforcement assistance.

Zarif’s tweet also contains an innuendo to the fact that American officials have frequently used the sentence in an implicit threat of military force against Iran.

Portland has been the scene of angry protests against police injustice and racial discrimination since May, when George Floyd, a black American, was killed by a white police officer in Minnesota.

Tensions in the city intensified in July after the Trump administration deployed federal agents to crack down on the protests.

Rouhani Praises Mourners for Observing Health Protocols in Muharram Processions

President Rouhani on Sunday expressed satisfaction with the strict observance of health protocols during the days of Muharram, especially on the nights of Tasu’a and Ashura, as reported by Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and Health Minister Saeed Namaki, the heads of the security and health committees of the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus.

In a conversation with the two ministers, President Rouhani referred to people’s pious and responsible behaviour in holding their glorious mourning ceremonies while adhering to strict health protocols, and said the behaviour has its roots in the rich religious culture of the people and their commitment to humanitarian issues and altruism.

“In the lunar months of Muharram and Safar, they should continue to follow the health instructions in the same strict way so that no one contracts coronavirus by participating in the mourning rituals of Imam Hussein (AS).”

The President also responded to the concerns of the Ministers of Health and the Interior about the new wave of summer trips during the recent holidays, saying, “Those who have travelled during the recent holidays should not allow their non-compliance with protocols to cause a new escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak, and negatively affect the hard work of the medical staff.”

Rouhani stated, “Those who have travelled should strictly follow the health instructions and social distancing and avoid being in crowded places, to prevent damaging the success that has been achieved in controlling the second wave of coronavirus.”

He further pointed to the news of the development of the coronavirus vaccine in some countries, and ordered the necessary measures to purchase the vaccine as soon as possible and to carry out the usual experimental and diagnostic steps in order to start effective measures in this field in the country as soon as possible.

“Considering the spread of the second wave of the outbreak of COVID-19, the Ministry of Health should take necessary measures to prevent burnout and exhaustion of the country’s medical staff and, if necessary, take action to train new staff and replace them more quickly.”

Rouhani emphasised that, of course, the most important point in this regard is that people strictly follow the health protocols to prevent more trouble and as a result, fatigue and exhaustion for the country’s healthcare staff and defenders, who have been at the forefront of fighting the disease for more than six months.
