Iran Appoints Female Ambassador to Denmark

The top diplomat was summoned by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araqchi and received a strong note of protest over Washington’s threatening remarks which run counter to international norms and regulations.

“The US president’s hostile, threatening and unorthodox comments are not acceptable at all and are in complete violation of international law,” said Iran’s deputy foreign minister.

He touched upon Trump’s threat to strike Iran’s cultural centres, saying such a threat is reminiscent of the Mongols’ invasion or terrorist and criminal groups’ destruction of cultural and historical sites.

He said such moves are regarded as textbook examples of war crimes under international law.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not bow to any threats or intimidation, and stands fully ready to respond to any threat or act against its national security and territorial integrity,” said Araqchi.

“History has shown that the Iranian nation will make any aggressor regretful,” he said.
“As demanded by the Iranian government and nation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, in addition to all the political and legal actions it will take, reserves the right to react to the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani at a time and place that it deems appropriate,” he said.

The Swiss ambassador, in turn, said he will convey Araqchi’s remarks to the US government.

Iran Blasts Europe’s ‘Disastrous’ Subservience to US

“Having committed grave breaches of international law in Friday’s cowardly assassinations, Trump threatens to commit again new breaches of JUS COGENS,” Zarif said in a Sunday tweet.

“Targeting cultural sites is a WAR CRIME,” he warned.

He also described the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and his comrades in Iraq as the beginning of an end to the US presence in the region.

“Whether kicking or screaming, end of US malign presence in West Asia has begun.”

“Those masquerading as diplomats and those who shamelessly sat to identify Iranian cultural and civilian targets should not even bother to open a law dictionary,” Zarif noted.

“Jus cogens refers to peremptory norms of international law, i.e. international red lines. That is, a big(ly) “no no”.

Later in the day, Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi also described Trump as “a terrorist in a suit.”

“Like ISIS, like Hitler, Like Genghis! They all hate cultures,” he noted.

“Trump is a ‘terrorist in a suit’. He will learn history very soon that NOBODY can defeat ‘the Great Iranian Nation & Culture’,” he added.

The comments came after Trump claimed in a series of tweets that “Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for” the US attack against the Iranian commander.

Trump claimed the Iranian general was already attacking the US Embassy.

“Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have,” he added.

Iran Develops Neural Prosthesis for Spinal Cord Injury Sufferers (15)

The system was unveiled in a ceremony in Tehran attended by Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari.

The system helps those suffering from spinal cord injuries to use their muscles alone through neural stimulation.

The system is equipped with a computer-programmable micro-stimulating device which controls the neural network by establishing a direct link with nerve cells.

One of the key features of the system is that it has a software and a graphic mediator that make it possible to be used in software environments.

The product falls within the domain of neuroscience. It was developed by students at Iran University of Science and Technology and researchers at the Electronic Neural Systems Technology Company at the university.

General Salami said the revenge will definitely be painful and make aggressors regret their actions.

“The response will have definitive and effective outcomes and end the Americans’ presence, so that they will have no place in the Muslim world any longer,” he said.

“However, the quality, time and scale of a response to them remains confidential until enemies receive our responses and all Muslims across the world witness the effects of this confrontation and harsh and crushing response,” he noted.

He said revenge for the assassination of General Soleimani will take place in due time in a wide geographical sphere with determining effects.

“Anyone who hosts the US is an enemy of Muslim nations; we are warning them to rethink their behaviour and covert plots; we are monitoring them; they should take care not to fall victim to US policies … and not to pay the price for the Americans’ policy and strategy,” the top general said.

“With the Americans’ presence [in the region] coming to an end, the region will get to enjoy stability, prosperity, balance and security,” he said.

US Imperialism More Perilous than Coronavirus: Rouhani

In a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday, President Rouhani emphasized that inaction and silence on the US’ cruel attack on General Soleimani would embolden the aggressors.

“If we do not have a united voice against the US aggression, the entire region will face a major threat,” President Rouhani told Erdogan.

 

“The US has today committed a serious crime against us, and if we remain silent, such measure will be taken against the other countries tomorrow,” the Iranian president warned.

 

Decrying the US government’s “organized and state-sponsored assassination” of a popular Iranian military commander, the president said such American crime has also violated Iraq’s national sovereignty and independence.

 

“We expect all of our friends and neighbors to explicitly condemn such crime in this situation,” President Rouhani added, and thanked Turkey for expressing sympathy with the Iranian government and nation over the martyrdom of the IRGC Quds Force commander.

 

“Iran and Turkey have always held consultations about the complicated issues,” the Iranian president noted, adding, “In order to help settle the problems in Syria, the efforts will continue at the level of heads of Iran, Turkey and Russia.”

 

He also hoped to have a meeting with President Erdogan in Tehran in the near future.

 

For his part, the Turkish leader offered his condolences to Iran over the loss of General Soleimani, saying the massive presence of people in the Iranian commander’s funeral in Iraq indicates the deceased’s popularity.

 

Stressing the need to establish regional stability and security, President Erdogan said, “Foreign interference and regional conflicts prevent the region from achieving calm and stability, and we should not allow such measures to threaten peace and stability of the region.”

 

He then expressed confidence that Iran will handle the situation by relying on wisdom and its robust governmental and cultural structure that has its roots in history.

 

The Turkish president finally unveiled plans for a visit to Tehran in the near future for talks on the bilateral and regional issues.
