Iran, Russia, China to Start Joint Military Drills Friday

At a news conference on Wednesday, senior Spokesman for Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, said the joint exercises between Iran, Russia and China will be held as of Friday.

Referring to the importance of the maneuver, he said the Indian Ocean and the Sea of Oman are key areas for the world trade, and many countries navigate through this region, so providing its security is of crucial significance.

“Iran has so far proven that it always strives to provide security for international waterways, especially in this key area. Therefore, this exercise will also be held to enhance the experience of ensuring safety of international trade in the region,” he added.

He said the exchange of security experience between Tehran, Moscow and Beijing and counter-terrorism and piracy as well as countering terrorism and piracy are among the other goals of the drill.

Shekarchi further noted that the security achievements of this exercise will be for all countries of the world and it will lead to more stability.

The Iranian general also said that the other goal of the exercise is to gain and exchange experience in the field of marine rescue operations, which will be carried out since the launch of the exercise.

‘Iran Not Violating Any Convention by Reducing JCPOA Commitments’

Lifting of Sanctions Precursor to Potential Talks with JCPOA Parties: Iran

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet session in Tehran on Wednesday, Vaezi said what the Europeans have claimed in connection with a reduction in Iran’s JCPOA commitments had no legal basis.

“In the four steps that have been taken (by Iran) to reduce the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) commitments, no measure has been taken in violation of the relevant conventions, and the Europeans’ claim on this issue does not have a legal basis by any means,” he added.

Asked about the EU’s threat to resort to the so-called ‘snapback mechanism’ for restoring the UN sanctions on Iran, Vaezi said, “The Europeans are seeking to provide their own public opinion with an explanation vis-à-vis the Iranian measures. So, what they have proposed about using the snapback mechanism will not take place, and they themselves are resolved to hold negotiations and reach a deal.”

The president’s chief of staff further dismissed the allegations of human rights violation in Iran, saying the West has employed human rights as a political tool to mount pressure on the others.

Denouncing the West’s double standards on human rights, Vaezi said the Western governments violate the rights of religious minorities and the coloured people and have cordial relations with certain Middle East counties which ignore the basic principles of human rights.

According to a recent report by Reuters, the three European parties to the nuclear deal said they were likely to trigger a dispute resolution process in January but would stop short of rushing to restore UN sanctions on Iran that would kill off the accord.

Six European and Western diplomats said Britain, France and Germany had agreed in principle to begin the process but they would still wait to see how significant Iran’s steps were before taking a final decision, according to the report.

The measure is also known as the trigger mechanism and its activation can lead to the return of the UN sanctions against Iran.

Diplomats said the Europeans would focus on extending the process rather than pushing towards sanctions unless Iran’s upcoming steps crossed an unacceptable threshold.

Iran’s reduction to its commitments comes in response to the US’ withdrawal from the agreement and the E3’s failure to fulfill their obligations under the JCPOA and to salvage it.

Iran Gov’t Spokesman Calls Reuters ‘Liar’

Speaking on Wednesday, Rabiei said “we need to break down the exact death toll immediately, but the number announced by Reuters is strongly rejected.”

Asked about anti-Iran accusations, leveled by Western countries, regarding alleged human rights abuses during the November incidents in Iran, he criticized the Westerners’ double standards when dealing with the issue of human rights.

Rabiei, at the same, noted that “we are not a government to hide domestic issues. A committee has been set up to fully investigate these incidents.”

“We are much more sensitive about human rights and believe that Western countries’ behaviour is interfering in Iran’s internal affairs.”

Reuters earlier claimed around 1,500 people have been killed during recent riots over fuel price hikes across Iran.

The news outlet said in a report on Monday that, “About 1,500 people were killed during less than two weeks of unrest that started on November 15, including at least 17 teenagers and about 400 women as well as some members of the security forces and police.”

Reuters claimed that the figures had been provided “by three Iranian interior ministry officials,” without further elaboration or naming any of them.

In another reaction head of Iran’s SNSC’s Information and Communications Secretariat dismissed the Reuters’ report and said such claims were based on “false propaganda.”

Skygazers in Iran Eagerly Awaiting Partial Solar Eclipse

A ring-type partial solar eclipse will also be visible throughout Iran on Thursday. Observers in the capital Tehran can observe this astronomical phenomenon at 7:13 Thursday morning as dawn seeps across the eastern horizon, and it continues until 8:23.

Masoud Atiqi, Director of the Iranian Amateur Astronomical Society told ISNA that the last solar eclipse of 2019 will occur in the last days of December and at the beginning of winter.

This is a circular eclipse that can only be seen in a limited part of the earth, and Iranians are lucky that it could be seen throughout the country.

Atiqi said the amount of obstruction across the country is different adding that the lowest obstruction will be about 45% and the highest amount about 86%, which will be observed in the southern parts of the country, including Kish and Qeshm islands. According to him, this phenomenon is visible in Tehran with about 61% of clarity.

It’s happening along a path that’s 118 kilometres wide. It will be visible from Saudi Arabia—where the sun will rise as a “ring of fire”—Qatar, the UAE, Oman, southern India, northern Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Guam, where the sun will set as a ring of fire. A partial solar eclipse will be visible across the Middle East, south-east Asia and Australia as well.

While in the Persian Gulf countries it takes about one minute, in India it reaches more than three minutes. The longest time will be three minutes and forty seconds, underlined Atiqi.

An annular solar eclipse happens when a new moon is farthest away from the Earth, and this appears smaller in the sky. Therefore, when the moon is in line between the sun and the Earth, it will cover the centre of the sun, and not cover it fully, resulting in a partial eclipse and the ‘ring of light’ effect.

A solar eclipse usually occurs about two weeks before a lunar eclipse. And the first lunar eclipse of 2020 is happening on January 10, 2020.

It is recommended in Islam that people pray when an eclipse happens. Muslims believe that eclipses serve as a divine reminder to be righteous.

President Hassan Rouhani in a message congratulated the leader of the Catholic Church on the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ and the arrival of Christmas.

In his message, Hassan Rouhani congratulated Pope Frances on the arrival of the Christian New Year 2020.

Rouhani described Jesus Christ as a messenger of peace, kindness, freedom and altruism.

“Jesus Christ is a symbol of patience and forbearance, and harbingers dignity and freedom,” read part of the message.

He expressed hope that followers of all divine faiths will step toward the establishment of peace and justice.

Also in a series of tweets, Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei expressed congratulations on the anniversary of Jesus Christ’s birth.

“The honour Muslims attribute to Jesus Christ is no less than his position and merit in the eyes of the Christian believers in Christianity,” he tweeted.

“Today, many who claim to follow Jesus Christ, take a different path than that of him. The guidance of hashtag Jesus, the son of hashtag Mary (peace be upon our Prophet and her) is guidance towards worshiping hashtag God and confronting the Pharaohs and tyrants,” he added.

“Following Jesus Christ requires adherence to righteousness and abhorrence of anti-righteous powers, and it is hoped that Christians and Muslims in every part of the world will adhere to this great lesson from Jesus (pbuh) in their lives and deeds.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also expressed congratulations on the auspicious occasion as well as the arrival of Christmas.

“I wish a merry Christmas for my Christian compatriots and all those who honour Christmas across the world; I wish them a happy Christmas and a lively and calm holiday,” he tweeted.

“The birth of Jesus Christ, who is a divine prophet in Islam, is an excellent opportunity to celebrate,” he added.

Achaemenid Pool Discovered in Iran’s Pasargadae

Their findings are based on magnetic maps drawn in the southeastern part of the royal garden of Pasargadae Complex.

Director of Pasargadae World Heritage Site Afshin Ebrahimi told IRNA that the pool was discovered in the fifth phase of the archaeological work of Iran and France scientific teams.

In this phase of the team’s work, sections between the main palace and the public palace, and an area between the inn and the tomb of Cyrus the Great were explored, he noted.

Ebrahimi said that after the excavations in the garden area there were six holes, showing that the pool probably had water inlets belonging to the Achaemenid era.

He stated that the boundaries of the royal garden belong to the Achaemenid period and a trapezoidal pool was first observed.

“The fifth phase of the archaeological cooperation between Iran and France at Pasargadae Complex was carried out on the basis of a memorandum of understanding concluded five years ago. This phase was carried out by magnetometry at the Pasargadae World Complex and during these five stages all the costs of research and excavation were paid by the University of Lyon and the Iranian team also supported these activities.

The complex includes buildings such as the tomb of Cyrus, Pasargadae, Pasargadae Royal Garden, Gate Palace, Public Palace, Special Palace, Two Towers, King’s Garden Fountains, Cambyses Tomb, Defence Structures, Mozaffari Caravanserai, Holy Campground, and Bolaghi passage.
The collection is the fifth in the list of Iranian World Heritage Sites and was registered at the UNESCO meeting held in China in July 2008.

Iran, Turkey Mull Cooperation on Artificial Intelligence

In a Tuesday meeting with Turkey’s Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Omer Fatih Sayan, Iranian ICT Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi described the sessions of an expert committee of cooperation on information technology as a major step in promoting mutual cooperation between Iran and Turkey.

“The two countries’ determination to enhance political ties is unequaled. There are common targets, and the two countries have strong motive for fulfilling those purposes,” the Iranian minister added.

The world’s future would be shaped by digital economy, Azari Jahromi noted, calling for plans to promote mutual cooperation to enable Tehran and Ankara to have a share of the digital economy.

Pointing to an invitation from Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Mehmet Cahit Turhan to a meeting of the information technology ministers from the members of D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, Azari Jahromi expressed hope that the outcome of a session of the expert committee of mutual cooperation would result in a ministerial meeting of the Joint Commission on the sidelines of the D-8 conference.

The digital economy is based upon artificial intelligence, the Iranian minister added, noting, “The truth is that artificial intelligence (technology) would not be acquired with slogans. We must try to create wealth in two spheres, the artificial intelligence and the data sciences.”

Highlighting Iran’s growing investment in artificial intelligence in recent years, Azari Jahromi said the Islamic Republic has developed the technology of self-driving smart cars, has unveiled delivery drones for postal service, and is carrying out research on artificial intelligence in parallel with the advanced countries.

He also warned that the failure to invest in modern technologies, such as the artificial intelligence, would turn a country into a mere consumer in future, as the economic inequality is widening in the world.

The advances in artificial intelligence require mutual cooperation, Azari Jahromi emphasized.

The Iranian minister further stressed the need to carry out the agreements made in a four-party conference of the telecommunication ministers of Iran, Russia, Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, expressing hope for closer bilateral and regional cooperation in the field of new technologies.

The Turkish deputy minister, for his part, highlighted the leading role of information technology in the future economy, saying a road map to development, endorsed by the presidents of Turkey and Iran, entails investment in information technology.

“We believe, as well, that we need to promote mutual cooperation on the new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and we have the needed preparedness in this regard,” Sayan added.

He finally reaffirmed Turley’s commitment to the results of the four-party meeting of the telecommunication ministers in Tehran, saying his country is ready to host the next meeting of ministers of Iran, Turkey, Russia and the Republic of Azerbaijan.
