Iran Reacts to IAEA’s Latest Report on Its JCPOA Commitments

Kazem Gharibabadi said the new report by the IAEA about the Iran nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), illustrates Iran’s activities with regards to the implementation of its decision to suspend its commitments under the JCOPA.

He said the report highlights the following points:

– Iran’s production of heavy water crossing the 130-tonne mark and reaching 132.6 tonnes

– Using new machines for uranium enrichment, including IR4, IR 5, IR6, IRS, IRS6 and IR2 machines, on research and development lines

– Enriching uranium up to 4.5 percent and more than the level specified in the JCPOA

– Production of 1571.6kg of enriched uranium, which is 550.7kg more than the amount stated in the March report, and 1356.5kg of that is uranium enriched by 4.5 percent.

Iran’s envoy added the following points are also mentioned in the report with regards to the agency’s work to verify and monitor Iran’s obligations under the JCPOA:

– Continuation of verification and supervision work amid the coronavirus pandemic, and Iran’s proper cooperation in that regard

– The continuation of Iran’s voluntary and temporary implementation of the Additional Protocol and the continued verification of the protocol’s declarations by the agency

– The IAEA’s continued work to verify non-diversion of nuclear materials declared by Iran.

– And that the agency has been verifying and monitoring Iran’s nuclear commitments since the JCPOA went into force.

Based on the report, despite the US unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA, which ran counter to international regulations, Iran tried to preserve the JCPOA on the condition that other signatories to the deal made good on their commitments under the deal. However, after nearly two years, the Europeans failed to live up to their obligations. As a result, Iran began scaling down its commitments under the deal in a bid to be able to reap the benefits of the JCPOA.

Accordingly, Iran began reducing its commitments on January 5, 2020 whereby Tehran would have no restrictions in the operational domain (including the enrichment capacity, the percentage of enrichment, the amount of enriched material, and research and development), and from then on, Iran’s nuclear program would go on only based on its technical needs. Meanwhile, Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA will continue.

In reaction to Iran’s move and disregarding their own procrastination with regards to full implementation of their commitments, the European Troika (France, Germany and Britain) tried to urge Iran to return to the full implementation of its obligations by using a mechanism to settle differences.

On January 18, 2020, they issued a statement expressing their willingness to activate this mechanism. Still, European Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell announced that the mechanism was no operation yet, and that the European parties are in agreement that the timetable for its implementation be extended.

US Navy Veteran Released over Health Problems: Iran Intelligence Ministry

Michael White was an American military man who entered the country two years ago as a tourist, an official from the anti-espionage department of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry said on Saturday.

“He intended to find an opportunity through misleading methods and communication with Iranian citizens, but he was arrested by the counterintelligence officers of the Ministry of Intelligence,” the official said.

“At the same time, he faced some complaints [from private plaintiffs]. Finally, after about two years, Michael White was expelled from the country due to the aggravation of his illness,” the official added.

The intelligence official further noted that some politicians in the United States, including Brian Hook, intended to use the possible death of Michael White as a media hype against Iran, but with his release their plots were foiled.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the intelligence source said US President Donald Trump desperately needs the support of public opinion after failure in containing the coronavirus, as well as mismanagement of protests against discrimination and racism.

“Therefore, Trump tries to reduce the fundamental differences between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the US regime to superficial issues and to make the most of any irrelevant and small issue as a context for negotiations with Iran,” Tasnim News Agency quoted the official as saying.

The Director General of Espionage at the Ministry of Intelligence also stated that Donald Trump is also a clear example of a person who wants to use every single opportunity to hold negotiations with Tehran and attract attentions.

“Of course, this kind of behaviour is not surprising while we know he has entered the White House from business market.”

“The Ministry of Intelligence emphasises that, as in the past, any anti-security action of the intelligence services, especially that of the United States, will be dealt with vigilantly and in the most professional way,” he concluded.

Persian Architecture in Photos: Atigh Grand Mosque of Shiraz

The “Atigh” Grand- Jumu’ah, Adineh (Friday)- Mosque is located in the east of Shah Cheragh Mosque in Shiraz, Fars province, southern Iran.

Its building, the first historical core of Shiraz city, consists of a tall structure with several rooms and Shabestans [traditional large, underground spaces]. Some parts of the mosque have two floors.

This two-porch mosque has been built in 281 AH by the order of Amr ibn al-Layth, the Saffari ruler. Later in 752 AH, Shah Isshaq Inju, the Ilkhanid ruler of Fars, constructed a building in the middle of mosque, which is called Khoday-khaneh [house of God] or Dar-ol-Mossahhaf. It has been the place where the Holy Quran was kept and recited.

What follows are IRNA’s photos of the Atigh Grand Mosque of Shiraz:

Tehran Stock Market Booming despite COVID-19 Pandemic

Tehran Stock Market Booming despite COVID-19 Pandemic

The current problems that the Iranian economy faces nowadays are big unemployment rate, low oil prices, as well as inflation. Last year the Iranian stock market has gained 225%, which is a great increase from the last few years.

The biggest struggles in the country are because of the Corona outbreak. The government encourages the privatization processes of state companies. Even the average person nowadays in Tehran has access to the stock market and everybody can trade shares or earn returns. The situation is similar in other countries as well. Even the USA faces the biggest unemployment numbers since the Great Depression.

Current Situation

A member of the Chamber of Commerce of Iran has mentioned that while the situation in Iran doesn’t seem good, the market is booming, but the stock market has its ups and downs, which is a very strange situation. That’s not the situation with the Tehran Stock Exchange. Since its beginnings in 1967, the stock market includes some of the major companies in Tehran, such as Iran Khodro, the famous car maker company. Even the average Iranian has noticed the rise of the stock market possibilities for the major Iranian companies.

Tehran Stock Market

The Stock Exchange Market lists more than half a million active traders. There are more than 12 million Iranians who have registered in the stock market to sell and buys stocks. As reported by Buy Shares, the estimated revenue is estimated to be 5% every day. Even president Hussein has mentioned the bright future of the Tehran stock market. The global situation on the stock marketplace is very chaotic, while the situation in the Tehran stock market seems to fall into place.

The booming stock market in Tehran is thanks to the company’s efforts and contribution to the current economic situation, the big shares of large Iranian corporations, as well as the business people in the country. Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, the Tehran stock market has undergone major changes. The 1990s in Iran are marked for the privation process and it’s the beginning of the privatization era in Tehran. The stock market has helped the Tehran economy to achieve this.

Results

This Saturday the main index of Tehran Stock Exchanges reached one million. It is almost doubled since the first Coronavirus case in the country. The biggest rally is between the companies in the petrochemical, industrial, and mineral stocks in the stock exchange market. Such companies are the National Iranian Cooper Industries, the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industry, and the Mobarakeh Steel Co. The record in the stock market has boomed since the government has announced 2 billion state assets in order to provide a solution to the COVID 19 pandemic in Iran.

CF Patients Victims of US Sanctions against Iran: Official

CF Patients Victims of US Sanctions against Iran

Mahdi Shadnoush, the head of the Health Ministry’s management centre for transplantation and special diseases, told IRNA on Saturday that the families of some CF patients complain about the lack of foreign brands of this medicine. He said the domestic brands of this drug are available and are given to these patients free of charge, but the import of the foreign ones is not possible under US sanctions.

“In general, the import of foreign drugs is difficult and Pancreatin is no exception, but according to Iran’s Food and Drug Administration, the import of this medicine is on the agenda and we hope this drug will be available in the near future,” he added.

Shadnoush further noted that the Iran-made brand of this drug is available to CF patients. However, as the families of these patients are requesting the use of foreign drugs, we are pursuing its import; however, due to sanctions and the problem of currency transfer, it has not been possible to import it yet, he went on to say.

According to this Iranian health official there are 1,100 CF patients in Iran.
CF (cystic fibrosis) is a gastrointestinal disease. Due to their inability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, CF patients take vitamins K, D, E and A on a daily basis, and 4 to 5 capsules of Pancreatin per day to absorb vitamins and minerals. These capsules contain digestive enzymes to help the patient’s body take vitamins, according to the report by IRNA.
