Iran to Get Rid of Sanctions by 2021: Gov’t Spokesman

Iran Condemns New US Sanctions on China

Rabiei said in a memo on Saturday that the government of President Hassan Rouhani will make every effort to have Iran sanctions lifted by May 2021, when it is going to hand over the administration to the next president.

He said Washington has resorted to the “maximum pressure policy” to achieve five objectives.

“1. Forcing Iran into submission and holding talks 2. Forming a regional coalition aimed at isolating Iran 3. Bringing Iran’s oil exports to zero to crush the country’s economy 4. Triggering unreal public protests and provoking people to rise up against the Establishment 5. Making Iran hastily withdraw from the JCPOA and setting the stage to push Iran towards Chapter 7 of the UN Charter,” he said.

The spokesman said the so-called Foundation for Defence of Democracies (FDD) is the Zionist think tank which seeks to institutionalize sanctions by overstepping the JCPOA and engineering unfair sanctions.

“The Israeli anti-JCPOA lobby in the United States now says that sanctions should be designed and institutionalized in such a way that no other president in the US will ever be able to revoke them even if he wants to,” he added.

“By exercising strategic restraint and not pulling out of the JCPOA, Iran showed that it knows what the belligerent Zionist lobby is up to,” the spokesman said.

“We will not succumb to sanctions, and will kill any motivation to put sanctions on Iran through resistance and reliance on domestic capability coupled with diplomatic initiatives,” he noted.

Bush Warned by Putin 2 Days before 9/11: Ex-Official

The warning is mentioned by George Beebee, a senior Bush-era CIA analyst, in his book titled “The Russia Trap: How Our Shadow War with Russia Could Spiral into Nuclear Catastrophe,” which was released earlier this week, according to RT.

“Putin had telephoned President Bush two days before the attacks to warn that Russian intelligence has detected signs of an incipient terrorist campaign, ‘something long in preparation,’ coming out of Afghanistan,” reads part of the book.

Although Moscow’s warning to Washington has been public knowledge for years as top Russian intelligence officials talked about them shortly after the incident, Beebee suggested Bush had been warned by Putin personally meaning that it was not just limited to exchange between the intelligence agencies.

The September, 11, 2001 attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, were a series of strikes in the US which killed nearly 3,000 people and caused about $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure damage.

US officials assert that the attacks were carried out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account.

They believe that rogue elements within the US government, such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, orchestrated or at least encouraged the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.

In addition to Russia, Britain’s intelligence service and that of the United States itself had also warned of such an incident, however, it remains a mystery whether the White House heeded those warnings and did anything to prevent it.

Condoleezza Rice, then national security adviser and later secretary of state, also hinted at the mindset of the White House officials at the time in her memoirs.

In ‘No Higher Honor,’ Rice did say that she had ignored an earlier warning from Putin about Saudi-funded extremists in Pakistan that the Russian president then said would cause a “major catastrophe.”

Rice wrote, after dismissing the warning, she “chalked it up to Russian bitterness toward Pakistan for supporting the Afghan mujahideen” fighters during the Soviet Union’s war in Afghanistan.

A special review commission on 9/11 has found that disagreements still persist within the FBI over whether there was a broader conspiracy in the US to carry out the 2001 attacks.

Former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden eluded US authorities for years in the wake of the attacks, but US Special Forces finally got a hold of him and killed him in 2011, during a raid in Pakistan.

Iran Now Self-Sufficient in Building Industrial Robots

The robots have been designed and produced and become operational in Iran, measure up to the latest standards and are ready to be exported.

One of the key developments underway in Iran in different technological domains is to domestically develop state-of-the-art technologies utilized across the globe. Accordingly, an Iranian firm has managed to domestically develop modern technologies by producing research-laboratory equipment needed to make industrial robots and control panels. At the moment, three types of industrial robots have been designed, developed and put into operation by Iranian experts. They measure up to international standards and ready to be exported.

The Qeshm Voltage company, which was the automation and drive agent of the German company Siemens, began its work with this multinational conglomerate. Over years of its operation, Qeshm Voltage began to realize the needs of the Iranian society, from the need for aftersales technical services for sold equipment to offering training on automation in different industries due to a shortage of automated machines. Accordingly, automation training programs got underway in various industries. Currently, some 2000 engineers are trained in short-term courses and receive local and international certificates.

For instance, certain controllers are installed in systems handling the process of oil and gas production. If engineers want to operate these controllers, they first need to receive PLC control system training, which is offered by this company.

For a brief review of Iran’s achievements in various fields of science and technology, check the book “Science and Technology in Iran: A Brief Review – 2019”

Presently, it is possible to offer training inside the country for all controller systems in accordance with international standards. Therefore, engineers in the fields of power control, mechanics, the oil and gas industry, the petrochemical industry, the cement industry, the auto industry, etc., receive training after which they can easily detect and monitor faults when confronting real systems and can even change or add parts to the system.

Moreover, as for the production of research and educational equipment, real models of equipment have been developed in the form of simulation and on a smaller scale (automatic or small factory systems). They are of standard quality and offered at a lower price compared to similar foreign-made equipment.

Today in Iran, the company has the latest internationally-approved technologies which share with neighbouring countries as well as nations in the Middle East.

Among items which are attractive to neighbouring states are industrial robots, service-educational sets provided in the projects sector (installation and operation), and production of interactive software.

Iraq Reopens Border Crossing with Iran ahead of Arba’een

In a ceremony on Friday, Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and his Iraqi counterpart Yassin Al Yasiri reopened the Khosravi border crossing.

The border crossing had been closed in 2013 in the wake of a deadly terrorist attack on Shiite pilgrims.

Khosravi border crossing allows the Iranian pilgrims to take the shortest route from the common border to Iraq’s city of Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (PBUH) is located.

The interior ministers of Iran and Iraq had signed an agreement to reopen the border crossing and remove visa restrictions for Iranian Arbaeen pilgrims in August.

Iran and Iraq have also agreed to raise the level of services and facilities for the pilgrims and enhance border security during the Arbaeen season, which will culminate in a large gathering in Karbala on October 19.

Arbaeen, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, comes 40 days after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shiite Imam.

Each year, a huge crowd of Shiites flock to Karbala to perform mourning rites in commemoration of Imam Hussein (PBUH) and his companions.

Iran Seizes Foreign Ship Carrying Smuggled Fuel

Iran's IRGC Says Following Americans in Persian Gulf 'Like A Falcon'

The coastguard chief in the southern Iranian Hormozgan province said the shipment contained 283,900 litres of smuggled diesel fuel.

Twelve Philippine nationals have also been arrested in that connection.

Legal proceedings on the case are underway through judicial channels.

Earlier in August, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) seized another foreign vessel in the Persian Gulf containing 700,000 litres of smuggled fuel.

The vessel had loaded the fuel from other ships, and was smuggling it to Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

Following the seizure of the ship, 700,000 litres of fuel were confiscated and seven foreign crew members arrested.

The IRGC had earlier in July seized a foreign tanker smuggling one million litres of Iranian fuel near the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

The tanker MT Riah was a UAE-owned Panama-flagged vessel seized in the south of the Iranian Larak Island on July 14.

IRGC naval forces, which were patrolling the waters on an anti-smuggling mission, acted against the vessel in a “surprise” operation upon ascertaining the nature of its cargo and securing the required legal approval from Iranian authorities.

The ship had loaded the fuel from Iranian dhows and was about to hand it over to other foreign vessels in farther waters. The vessel, which had 12 foreign crewmembers aboard at the time of the seizure, is capable of carrying two million liters of fuel.

Iran Rejects Reports of Possible Trump-Rouhani Meeting in NY

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Alireza Miryoosefi, the spokesman for the Iranian mission at the United Nations, has rejected media reports about the possibility of a meeting between Hassan Rouhani of Iran and his opposite number Donald Trump on the fringes of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.

His comments came in reaction to a report by the Japanese Kyodo News Agency, which had quoted an informed source within the US government as saying that Washington has put forward a proposal regarding a meeting between the two presidents on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

“This is fabricated news. We have not had such a request, and there is no possibility of a meeting between the two presidents on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting,” said Miryoosefi.

Iran’s president has stressed that his meeting with Trump is only possible if all anti-Iran sanctions are lifted; however, Trump has announced several times over the past few days that he has no intention of scaling back sanctions on Iran.

The US government has imposed several rounds of new sanctions on Iran in recent days. In the most recent case, the US Treasury added 16 companies, 10 individuals and 11 oil tankers to the Iran sanctions list.

The Trump administration withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) a year ago despite international opposition and Iran’s full compliance with the agreement. Washington then ratcheted up the pressure on Iran by imposing economic sanctions, revoking oil sales waivers and putting Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on the lists of terrorist organizations in the hope of forcing Iran to once again get engaged in talks on an agreement favored by the White House.

Iranian officials have announced time and again on numerous occasions that they will not sit down for talks with US authorities. Rouhani also touched upon Washington’s breach of promises in his speech at Iran’s parliament on October 29, 2017. He rejected Washington’s offer of talks, saying how Iran sit at the negotiating table with a country which has reneged on its own commitments.

Despite the United States’ announcing its willingness to hold talks with Iran, Tehran officials have stressed several times that Iran will not hold a dialogue with the US until the White House changes its policies vis-à-vis Iran.

In mid-2019, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe travelled to Iran to convey Washington offer of Talks to Tehran. In his meeting with Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader rejected out of hand any negotiations with the US.

Recently, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad-Kazem Sajjadpour said in an interview with Al Jazeera that Iran does not trust the US and that there is no possibility of holding talks with US officials.

Riyadh Left Alone by Arab Allies in Anti-Iran Campaign: Analyst  

Abdullah bin Sultan Nasser Al Saud posted a video on Twitter page which he says belongs to two years ago and shows an expert talking on a Saudi TV channel about Saudi Arabia’s military equipment.

At the end of the video, it is claimed that Riyadh can destroy Iran only in eight hours.

On his Twitter page, the prince echoed the so-called expert’s opinion and wrote “Saudi Arabia can destroy Iran in eight hours.”

He added the video clip belongs to two years ago, i.e., before Riyadh bought modern military hardware and before it upgraded its military systems. The prince claimed there is no power in the world which can stand up to Riyadh’s “unity and strength.”

The prince’s claim received widespread reaction from Twitter users many of whom ridiculed his comments.

Saudi Prince Mocked for Claiming Iran Can Be Destroyed in 8 HoursMany of the users referred to the Saudi war on Yemen which has taken almost five years during which Riyadh has failed to achieve its objectives.

This is while Saudi Arabia had claimed at the beginning of the war that it would win the war in a matter of weeks.

Expanding R&D to Facilitate Boosting Iran’s Enrichment to 1m SWU

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

The remarks were made by Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi in a Saturday press conference in Tehran to provide details of the third step in reducing its commitments under the JCPOA.

Back in June 2018, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ordered the AEOI to prepare the country for enrichment of uranium up to a level of 190,000 SWU without any delay within the framework of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Following the order, the AEOI chief Ali Akbar Salehi announced for the production capacity of 190,000 SWU, among other things a hall to assemble centrifuges is needed, and that many of the preparations for it have been made.

The decision to increase enrichment capacity to levels above 190,000 SWU comes as part of a decision by the country’s Supreme National Security Council to decrease Iran’s commitments under the JCPOA in reaction to the US’ withdrawal from the deal and Europe’s failure to fulfill its commitments.

In his Saturday remarks, Kamalvandi announced that the country has already put into operation a number of IR6 and IR4 centrifuges despite the JCPOA commitment to use them at the 11th year after the accord.

According to the spokesman, Iran has started feeding uranium gas into its advanced IR6 as well as IR4 centrifuges.

Also on possible increase to 20% uranium enrichment level, the nuclear spokesman said the country currently doesn’t need such level, but may consider it in the future.

Kamalvandi also noted that the country currently has no plan to reconsider its nuclear transparency and decrease its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
