'Neither Tankers Nor Oil Cargo Seized by US Belong to Iran'

In comments on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Mahmoud Vaezi dismissed reports that the US has confiscated four “Iranian” oil tankers carrying fuel to Venezuela.

“The oil tankers do not belong to us, and we no more track the oil that we sell after we receive its money,” he noted.

The oil tankers are not owned by Iran and the oil cargo had been sold to others, Vaezi explained.

His comments come as the US claims it has confiscated four Iranian fuel shipments that had been bound for Venezuela.

The US Justice Department said the seized cargo was now in US custody “with the assistance of foreign partners,” adding that the amount confiscated from the four tankers was about 1.116 million barrels of fuel.

Iran Asks Niger to Counter US Polices as UNSC President

Asked by reporters on Wednesday about the United States’ plan to submit a complaint to the UN Security Council about what it calls an Iranian breach of the nuclear deal, Mahmoud Vaezi said such a complaint has no legal basis.

“All of the US’ legal actions have ended in failure ever since it has withdrawn from the JCPOA,” he noted.

Vaezi then dismissed Washington’s claim that it is allowed to resort to the snapback mechanism in the nuclear deal because it had been a JCPOA party in the past, saying Russia, China, and the European countries are opposed to the US measure.

“Only the current JCPOA members can use the mechanism, while the US is not a party to the JCPOA,” he underscored.

The comments came after US President Donald Trump said he intended to trigger the so-called snapback of the UN sanctions which had been in place against Iran prior to the nuclear deal’s inking.

Diplomats have said several countries are likely to argue that the United States is legally not authorized to activate a return of the UN sanctions against Iran as it is no longer a party to the deal.

Iran Says Planning to Launch 5 New Satellites by March 2021

In a radio interview on Wednesday, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said his ministry will be carrying out 10 projects in the final year of the incumbent administration’s term, mainly in the space sector and development of the National Information Network.

The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology is going to launch five satellites in cooperation with the Defence Ministry by the end of the year (March 2021), he noted.

The minister said a satellite launch initially slated for June has been postponed in order to coordinate the plans and make sure that the satellite will function properly.

He further highlighted the country’s great progress in the development of artificial intelligence solutions, saying Iran is going to unveil a homegrown supercomputer which is among the world’s top 500 computers.

The Iranian supercomputer, due to be unveiled in February 2021, is used for data processing to yield results in artificial intelligence systems, the minister explained.

Azari Jahromi also noted that the country’s largest infrastructural data centre of the National Information Network, to be used for messengers and browsers, will be unveiled next week.

The minister finally said a project to launch the fifth-generation technology standard for cellular networks has begun as two locations in capital Tehran have received the 5G coverage.

How to Mentally Cope with Isolation

How to Mentally Cope with Isolation

Although many articles tend to focus upon the associated economic fallout, we need to keep in mind that its mental toll is also very real. This is why it is good idea to take a look at some useful ways in which you can remain emotionally healthy until things eventually return to normal. Let’s also mention that all of the suggestions mentioned below can be used within countless other scenarios when you might require a bit of a more relaxed perspective.

Physical Health Equates to Mental Health

One of the best ways to stave off the emotional blues is to regularly exercise. Now, we are not necessarily referring to the gym in this sense. It is just as easy to devote a certain portion of your home or flat towards physical activities such as practising yoga or stretching. Even if these activities are performed for only 15 or 30 minutes each day, the effects are quite impressive.

Physical activity causes your body to release feel-good chemicals which are then circulated throughout the bloodstream. Examples include serotinin, epinephrine and adrenaline. These hormones will cause you to feel more relaxed and at rest; similar to a runner’s high after completing a jog. Such substances are also known to trigger a more positive mental outlet, so be sure to incorporate some form of at-home exercise into your daily routine.

Novel Ways to Keep Yourself Entertained

Obsessing over a situation that cannot be changed is a sure-fire way to develop feelings of stress and anxiety. If your mind begins to function in “overdrive”, negative thoughts are bound to manifest themselves. So, consider novel ways to remain entertained. Some may choose to read a book or to pursue a hobby such as building models. Others might instead turn to websites such as getluckycasino.com in order to play their favourite games.

It could also be wise to pursue a new interest that you did not have time for in the past. This will provide your mind with a decidedly creative outlet while allowing it to focus upon a specific task (as opposed to remaining trapped within negative thoughts). Take a look online to further research your interests. Not only will you inevitably find what you have been looking for, but joining chat forums that cater to such interests is a great way to make a few friends along the way.

We all need to take the concept of mental health very seriously. This is why the tips and tricks mentioned above should be carefully considered. If you are able to maintain a positive outlook, the world will become a much brighter and welcoming place.

Top Iranian, Afghan Diplomats Discuss Peace Process

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday morning, Foreign Minister Zarif and the senior Afghan diplomat discussed the Afghan peace negotiations, the necessity for intra-Afghan negotiations without foreign interference, maintaining the achievements of the past 18 years, and Iran’s preparedness to contribute to the peace process in Afghanistan.

Zarif and Atmar also talked about the issues relating to the bilateral ties between the two countries, particularly the finalization of a comprehensive agreement.

Earlier this month in a telephone conversation with President of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani expressed Tehran’s support for the peace process in Afghanistan under the guidance of the Kabul government, hoping that the intra-Afghan negotiations would yield results with the inclusion of all Afghan groups.

US Not Allowed to Use ‘Snapback’ Mechanism against Iran: Rouhani
US Not Allowed to Use ‘Snapback’ Mechanism against Iran

President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that Washington has pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and, hence, is not legally authorized to invoke the sanctions.

“It is stipulated in that mechanism (snapback) that signatories or one of the signatories to the JCPOA can use this mechanism. However, the US cannot use this mechanism as it has clearly announced that it has pulled out of the JCPOA, and that it is the worst agreement, and has withdrawn from it,” said Rouhani.

He then criticized some people who claim the US would not have been able to withdraw from the JCPOA if the foundation of the agreement were stronger.

“Is there an agreement which the US has not pulled out of?” asked the president rhetorically.

“You are saying that the foundation of the JCPOA was not strong enough, but how about the US withdrawal from the WTO, UNESCO, NAFTA and the Paris Climate Agreement? Was their foundation weak, too? The US has pulled out of whatever useful agreements,” said Rouhani.

He then touched upon sanctions, which, he added, has put Iranian people under pressure, and said, “We are standing up to these sanctions, which will come to an end one day … and the rule of tyrants at the White House will not last forever, either.”

Iran’s Only Baby Chimp Survives Premature Birth, Poor Health 4

Now, Baran regards the vet as his father. Baran has visited the vet in his home in line with efforts to form a 3,000-strong campaign to help the baby chimp survive.

Baran has been living under the special care of a vet for three years now due to its physical problems.Iran’s Only Baby Chimp Survives Premature Birth, Poor Health 3

Naturally, baby chimpanzees should spend five years with their mothers.

However, the poor conditions in which chimpanzees are kept in cages at Eram Zoo have led Baran’s mother and other members of the chimpanzees’ group there to become aggressive and kill their babies over the past 19 years.

In the past two decades, Baran was the only baby chimp which, despite its premature delivery, managed to survive as it was separated from the chimpanzees’ group right the first day of its birth.

Nevertheless, it has been merely the vet’s special care which has helped the baby chimp stay alive until now when it is 3 years old.

The vet was taking care of the baby chimp until he himself fell ill and had to leave the zoo.
The, zoo official have allowed the chimp to leave the zoo to stay with the vet temporarily as Baran is attached to the vet.

However, the vet must return Baran to the zoo after the designated time.

Mahmoud Vaezi said Washington has meddled in other countries’ domestic affairs time and again.

“Sixty-seven years ago on such a day, the Americans overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran by contributing to a disgraceful coup,” said Vaezi, the chief of staff of the Iranian president.

“The 1953 coup was neither the first instance of US meddling in other countries’ internal affairs, nor will it be the last one,” he noted.

“In the minds of Iranian people, this event was a symbol of the United States’ wickedness and irresponsible interference,” he noted.

“The 1953 coup d’état is one of the most important and most determining political events in contemporary history and triggered many of bitter events in Iran’s history,” he underlined.

“It was the first coup mounted with direct and overt interference of foreigners in order to topple the government of Mohammad Mosaddegh in Iran in connivance with the agents and mercenaries of the former Iranian Shah,” he said.

“Of course, 25 years after that dark day, zelous Iranians staged a revolution that blocked the path to any foreign intervention in the country’s affairs and people’s fate,” he said.
“Many years on, all Iranian people still abide by their allegiance,” Vaezi noted.

“Independence and rejecting foreigners’ domination is the national commitment of all of us. This is a reality that acquisitive entities will have to accept sooner or later,” he said.
