Measures Taken to Foil FATF Blacklisting of Iran: Official

Iran Rejects Russia's Mediation, Says Has No Plans for Direct Talks with US

Vaezi has noted that undoubtedly, when the US sanctions are lifted, being in the current situation could pose a serious threat to the country’s banking transactions with the world.

“So we are determined to resolve the problems and make the next government an appropriate platform for serving the people.”

In 2013, we had a situation similar to the one that came up on Friday and we were facing a lot of restrictions, but the government did its best to get out of this situation. We put in place four bills and all these bills are in line with the policies and programs that we must pursue regarding money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, underlined Vaezi.

“Today, in the face of sanctions and the enemy’s maximum pressure policy, all our efforts are to design a strategy and a mechanism that will have the least impact on the current state of the economy” the president’s chief of staff stated.

Vaezi further pointed out that unlike the atmosphere that has been affecting the exchange rate since Friday, it is believed what has happened will not affect the currency and banking situation in the country, and the situation will become normal as soon as possible.

The Financial Action Task Force said on Friday that Iran would stay on its blacklist, and called on member states to sanction the country.

The world’s top antiterrorism monitoring group voted to keep the Islamic Republic on its blacklist for failing to tackle terrorism financing at home, extending international sanctions at a time when the country had hoped to offset its struggling economy by doing business with Europe.

The Financial Action Task Force, a Paris-based monitoring group, had given Iran a February deadline to approve antiterrorism legislation or remain on the blacklist. Although Iran’s parliament passed the legislation, a top body voted it down.

Iran, Oman to Play Friendly to Prepare for FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers

The 2022 tournament will also be the final tournament that consists of 32 teams, before this is then increased to 48 for the 2026 World Cup in North America. Due to the heat in the summer months, the World Cup will also be taking place in the late period of November, through to the middle of December. The final is then set to be held on Qatar National Day on the 18th of December. This all sets up for a fascinating period ahead, with teams now starting their preparations to qualify for the finals.

One of those sides is Iran, who are set to take on Oman in a friendly to kick start their preparations. There is likely to be a lot of interest in the fixture, especially from those who like an interest in short-priced favourites. The hosts were a general 1/3 to win the previous encounter, with a good chunk of sports betting sites in Iran offering 4/5 about them to win the fixture to nil – which they duly did. Bookie again will make Iran will be the strong favourites to take the victory, having beaten Oman in, not just this encounter, but another one since 2016. The first of these was a second round World Cup qualifier for the 2018 finals in Russia.

The two sides then faced off last year in the AFC Asian Cup round of 16. It turned out to be the same result inside the Mohammed Bin Zayed stadium, with Iran scoring two first half goals in the 2-0 victory. This included a 41st minute penalty converted by Ashkan Dejagah. This now sets them up for their upcoming match and they will again be expected to take the victory.

Iran were originally put into pot one for their 2022 World Cup qualification draw. This then saw them drawn into Group C against Iraq, Bahrain, Hong Kong and Cambodia. Following four matches played, they sit third in the group, having picked up six points from a possible twelve, winning two and losing two. This means they are five points off the top side Iraq, but they do have a game in hand.

 Iran opened up qualification with a comprehensive 2-0 away victory against Hong Kong. They then followed this up with a remarkable 14-0 home victory over a weak Cambodia side. This has now set them up well, with Iran clear in the goal difference charts. Iran were then beaten 1-0 away at Bahrain, in a game they had expected to win. The side were then again beaten for a successive match, losing 2-1 away at group leaders Iraq.

 Iran now have a very important period ahead, if they are to qualify for the finals in Qatar. Next they will face a home fixture against Hong Kong, before the away fixture against Cambodia. They will be strong favourites to take the maximum points from these two fixtures. Iran will then welcome Bahrain in the early period of June, in what is set to be a must win fixture for the side. They will then finish qualification by welcoming Iraq, and it could all come down to this final fixture.

Global Moving Service 

There are a lot of local, long-distance and international moving companies in the US. 

Firstly, the local moving is moving on the same state that distances up to 50-100 miles. Secondly, the moves that are over 100 miles are regarded as the long-distance moves. And finally, moving from one country to another is known as International moves.

The purpose of different types of moving services differs depending on where you want to move.

Why Do You Need Global Moving Service?

Moving from one state to another is a tiresome process on its own. So, if you want to move to a new location with all of your essentials, that can almost sound like a burden. Therefore, you will need some expert help while making the move. A specialist in moving service can assist you from the start to the end of the whole moving process. If you hire a moving service, they will manage all the paperwork and methods of the shifting process including organizing the transportation for you. They can help you with almost everything that you will need to do.

The corporate global moving service has three geographical head offices which are located in Asia, Europe, and North America. These three headquarters manages and helps the moving service to provide the best service to the client.

There are more than 150 nations where the American’s can provide shifting assistance. The worldwide moving services offer a well-organized moving plan by maintaining the customer’s requirements.

Here’s how the global moving service works:

 

  • Advance Shifting Discussion:

 

Firstly, you should check your personals which you want to move and discuss everything with the moving service in detail. Then, you should confirm which things you would like to shift. The adviser of the moving service will provide you with many options and will offer a complete moving plan. He will also tell you the estimated cost of moving.

 

  • Pre-Arrange A Moving Contract:

 

When the shifting plan is decided, you should make a contract with the moving service. After you have finalized the contract, the moving service will provide a supervisor to assist you. The supervisor will look after all of your personnel and instruct the movers during the move. He will remain in contact with you until the whole process is completed.

 

  • Sorting and Packing the Goods

 

Before the date of moving, the employees of the moving service will visit your home to pack all the things.  They will sort things in a disciplined way so that you receive them in perfect condition. Then, they will pack all the objects in line with the customer’s agreement to shift globally.

 

  • Shipping

 

The transportation will be managed as agreed before in the contract. The cargo can be done through the sea, by air or by road according to the client’s wish. Note that, shipping by air is costlier than shipping through sea or by road transport.

 

  •  Organizing the Move

 

Who will organize the whole process? The organization of the moving service can also face some difficulties to assist the shifting process because sending a supervisor aboard is a notable expense. 

However, the supervisor will still organize all the things and processes which are required for shifting. He will arrange all the documents, private deskwork and will also finalize the date to shift for authorizing the permission to move. The supervisor will also systemize the moving process and track the transport that is carrying the objects.

 

  • Handing Over

 

After the move is properly done, the moving service will hand over the goods to the client. Then the client can begin to arrange their new apartment with their things.

Conclusion

The global moving service has the knowledge, services and has the specialists to accomplish global shifts that are done with full protection. Furthermore, they provide workers who help the moving process to finish quickly.

Moving services in the US offer the top level of morals, uprightness, and a harmonious volume of features to each client. Therefore, you can hire a moving service without any hesitation.

Mark Dubowitz’s Delight over Coronavirus in Iran ‘Shameful’: Araqchi

Mark Dubowitz’s Delight over Coronavirus in Iran ‘Shameful’: Araqchi

In a post on his Twitter account, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi denounced Dubowitz’ shameful expression of delight over the damages that COVID-19 has caused to Iran’s economy.

“It’s shameful and downright inhuman to cheer for a deadly Virus to spread – and enjoy seeing people suffer for it, but at least @mdubowitz understands that the American economic sanctions were not — and will not — as effective as a Covid-19 Virus,” Araghchi said.

His comment came after Dubowitz, the CEO of the so-called Foundation for Defence of Democracies (FDD), expressed delight over the economic harms done by the coronavirus in Iran.

“Coronavirus has done what American economic sanctions could not: shut down non-oil exports,” Dubowitz said in post on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

He has also attached a link to his post citing an op-ed article published in Bloomberg, entitled ‘Coronavirus Will Hammer Iran’s Economy’.

According to Iran’s Health Ministry, the number of people who have died from the coronavirus in the country has risen to 19 and the total number of confirmed cases to 139.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says spreading fear about coronavirus pandemic is a plot by enemies who are attempting to halt the Islamic Republic’s activities.

He also emphasized that the COVID-19 outbreak in Iran should not become a “weapon for the enemies” to shut down the activities and production inside Iran.

The president also hit back at the US for downplaying the fight against the new virus in Iran, saying the Americans had better feel concern about the thousands of people who have died of flu in their own country.

President Rouhani also reiterated that any decision about the closure of public place or other precautionary restrictions comes only within the purview of the National Headquarters of the Fight against Coronavirus.

He also noted that the responsibility to announce the latest statistics, offer the medical recommendations and publicize the centers for the diagnosis and treatment of the coronavirus lies with the national headquarters alone.

The president also highlighted the very good measures that have been taken over the past two weeks to prevent, detect and diagnose the coronavirus cases and to quarantine and treat the patients across the country.
