Iran Says Open to Settlement of Issues with Saudi Arabia

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

“Iran welcomes settlement of problems and issues with some of its neighbours through dialogue,” Vaezi said on Wednesday, stressing that regional issues need to be settled with negotiations participated by regional states.

He made the remarks in reaction to earlier comments by Saudi envoy to the United Nations Abdullah al-Muallemi, who said that his country seeks “diplomatic interactions” with Iran, claiming that there have been contacts between the two countries.

Speaking to reporters after a weekly cabinet session, Vaezi referred to the Saudi envoy’s remarks, and said they are in line with what Iran has always raised.

“In the past few years, Saudi Arabia has taken very harsh policies unlike those of its previous leaders, and they have resulted in the isolation of the Kingdom in the Muslim world, region, and the international public opinion,” he noted, according to a report by the government’s official website dolat.ir.

“We see that the Yemen war, unlike what the Saudis expected, did not end within a few weeks, and has turned into a war of attrition, which has caused great damages to Saudi Arabia’s image and economy,” Vaezi said, adding that Riyadh cannot continue this trend.

“We are ready for the settlement of the issues remaining with one or two of our neighbours through peaceful solutions,” he said, stressing that it will be to the benefit of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the entire region.

Last week, al-Muallemi said after a meeting of the UN Security Council that Saudi Arabia does not seek war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Al-Muallemi said that “Saudi Arabia does not want war with Iran, neither in Yemen and nor anywhere else,” claiming that “it’s time to end the crisis in Yemen.”

The UN envoy also said that his country is ready for “diplomatic engagement” with Iran, adding that the diplomatic relations need common grounds.

The Saudi diplomat also claimed that there were contacts with Iran after the recent Arab summit and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Mecca.

Iran May Cut Imports from Brazil If Stranded Ships Not Refueled

At least two Iranian ships are reportedly stranded off the Brazilian coast because state oil company Petrobras is refusing fuel to them.

President Jair Bolsonaro said on Friday the Brazilian government has been alerting local companies about the extent of US sanctions on Iran, while he is working to forge a very close relationship with the United States.

“I, particularly, am getting close to Trump, I was received twice by him. It is the No. 1 economy in the world, our second-largest market, and now Brazil has its arms open to do deals and partnerships,” Bolsonaro said.

His remarks came as two Iranian vessels, one reportedly loaded with corn, were stranded at the port of Paranagua, unable to head back to Iran due to lack of fuel.

Iran is one of the largest grain importers from Brazil and the complication with the Iranian ships is already worrying Brazilian traders about the broader impact on trade with the Islamic Republic.

On Tuesday, Iran’s Ambassador in Brasilia Seyed Ali Saghaeyan told Brazilian officials that Tehran could easily find new suppliers of corn, soybeans and meat if the South American country refused to permit the refueling of the vessels.

“I told the Brazilians that they should solve the issue, not the Iranians,” Saghaeyan said in an interview at the Iranian Embassy in Brasilia.

“If it’s not solved, maybe the authorities in Tehran may want to take some decision because this is a free market and other countries are available,” he added.

Saghaeyan said Iran was considering sending fuel to the stranded ships, even though it would take longer and prove costly. He has requested a meeting with Brazil’s foreign minister, Ernesto Araujo, but has yet to receive an answer.

Petrobras has said the ships, Bavand and Termeh which had brought urea to Brazil, appeared on a list of US sanctions. The company says there are other fuel companies that can supply the Iranian ships, but it has an effective monopoly on refueling services at Brazilian ports.

Brazil has emerged as a new destination for petrochemical shipments from Iran which is tapping new markets to compensate for sliding oil sales.

Brazil and Iran have a long history of good relations, but President Bolsonaro’s infatuation with US President Donald Trump and his push to forge close relations with Israel have creating hiccups in maintaining constructive cooperation.

Dubbed as “Trump of the Tropics”, Bolsonaro’s proposal to move Brazil’s embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds has angered the Muslim world.

While senior Brazilian officials have backed away from the plan, the idea threatens to damage ties with Muslim countries and jeopardize billions of dollars in Brazilian halal meat exports.

In April, Brazil opened a new trade mission to Israel during Bolsonaro’s visit to Jerusalem al-Quds, prompting the Palestinians to consider recalling their ambassador in Brasilia.

Bolsonaro said on Friday his government sides with the US on its policy toward Iran which has come under the most draconian sanctions ever after Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.

Saghaeyan said, “Independent and big countries like Brazil and Iran should work together without interference from any third party or country.”

Iran Says Holding Negotiation with Promise Breakers ‘Absurd’

By
IFP Media Wire
-

Speaking at a meeting with the chairman and members of the parliament’s Economic Commission in Tehran on Wednesday, Shamkhani hailed the valuable achievements of Iran’s strategy of resistance, highlighting the ineffectiveness of US sanctions and its suggestions for “unconditional” talks with the Islamic Republic.

“Today, the enemy is well aware of its inability and failure to enforce its pressure-negotiation policy and (the fact that) there is no other way than to fully fulfill its obligations and to ensure the rights of the Iranian nation…,” he said.

The Iranian top security official further described negotiation with someone who does not comply with any of his obligations, as “absurdity and a sign of weakness and frustration”.

“Today, with the resistance of the Iranian people, our enemies have come to the conclusion that one cannot force the Iranian nation to accept humiliation…,” Shamkhani stated.

The remarks came against the backdrop of increased tensions between Iran and the US with Washington imposing new sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The US has ratcheted up pressure on Iran since last year after unilaterally withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Since then, the administration of US President Donald Trump is trying to reduce Iran’s oil exports to “zero,” and has sent an aircraft carrier strike group, a bomber squad, an amphibious assault ship, and a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East to try to stack up pressure on Tehran.

Iranian officials, however, have dismissed such moves as psychological warfare, saying the country has its own ways of circumventing the American bans and selling crude oil.

Iran President Says Ready for ‘Just, Honest’ Negotiations

“We will never miss the chance of negotiation. I declare that as long as I’m responsible for the executive duties of the country, we are always ready for just and legal negotiations where the Iranian nation and its rights are fully respected, in order to solve the problems,” Rouhani said on Wednesday.

“But at the same time we are not ready to sit at the table of surrender under the name of negotiations. We fully understand what negotiation means, what surrender means,” he added.

“Surrender is not acceptable to us, to our nation, and to our Constitution. But we have always been, and we are now, ready for just and respectful negotiations that lead to a fair result.”

“We have talks and negotiations with European and non-European countries through letters and phone conversations. We haven’t reached a desirable point yet. They have offered to lift some of the sanctions in exchange for some actions on our part. We haven’t accepted them so far because they have not been balanced offers,” Rouhani went on to say.

His comments came amid growing tensions between Iran and the West, particularly after the IRGC’s recent shoot-down of an intrusive US drone in the Persian Gulf, and its seizure of a British-flagged oil tanker, which came a month after a similar move by the UK against an Iranian supertanker in Gibraltar.

In his Wednesday remarks, Rouhani said if the UK stops its illegal move to keep the Iranian tanker in Gibraltar, “they will receive an appropriate response from Iran.”

He also warned that the Strait of Hormuz is no place for joke or playing with international regulations.

Rouhani said the IRGC’s seizure of the UK oil tanker was a professional and precise move, and the world must be grateful to the IRGC for ensuring the security of the Persian Gulf.

Iran confiscated the UK oil tanker Stena Impero on Friday night for breaching international maritime regulations while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The tanker was transferred to the port of Iran’s southern city of Bandar Abbas for maritime casualty investigation.

Taking Simple Steps Can Cut Odds of Getting Cancer

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Scientists believe cancer can be prevented or risks of contracting the disease can be reduced by observing a few points. Some important ways of preventing cancer are as follows:

Giving Up Smoking and Alcohol

Smoking accounts for 30% of cancer-related deaths. Smoking specifically increases the odds of contracting lung cancer, which is regarded as the most dangerous type of cancer that leads to death. Alcohol, too, harms body tissues and raises the risk of contracting cancer.

Losing Weight

Obesity results in the creation of some harmful materials which cause inflammation in the body, which raises the odds of different types of cancer, especially esophageal and kidney cancer.

Taking Simple Steps Can Cut Odds of Getting CancerDoing sports and physical exercise as well as losing weight will bring down the levels of inflammation-causing materials, and, as a result, keeps cancer cells from becoming malignant.

Staying Away from Stress

Stress changes the condition of the body and causes different diseases, including cancer. So, it is important for the body to steer clear of conditions which lead to anxiety and stress.

Using Anti-Cancer Foodstuff

Cancer is among the illnesses whose prevention partly depends on proper nutrition. Some foods which can prevent cancer are as follows:

Antioxidants

Foods containing vitamins C and E as well as carotenoids are among antioxidants. For instance, drinking green tea is useful for the prevention of cancer as it has strong antioxidant properties. Also, using garlic can help prevent cancer. Saffron byproducts are also antioxidants which are effective in preventing cancer.

Fibre-Rich Foods

Low-calorie foods rich in fibres such as pulses, whole grains, fruit and vegetables can help prevent cancers such as the colon cancer.

Using Omega-3

Foods such as fish or some plants like linseed contain omega-3.

Iran Condemns Trump’s ‘Racist’ Remarks against Afghan Nation

Iran Says What IAEA Wants to Access “Not A Site”

In a statement on Wednesday, Mousavi said the “unacceptable” comments threaten international peace and security.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran stands by the resilient nation, the government, and the educated people of the brotherly and neighbouring country of Afghanistan,” Mousavi added.

Speaking in a joint press briefing at the White House with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, Trump said the US military could quickly end a war in Afghanistan.

“If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I could win that war in a week. I just don’t want to kill 10 million people,” he said.

“I have plans on Afghanistan that, if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth. It would be gone,” he said.

“It would be over in — literally, in 10 days. And I don’t want to do — I don’t want to go that route.”

Trump also referred to the use of the so-called “Mother of All Bombs” in Afghanistan in April 2017, which was the largest non-nuclear bomb ever detonated, and said using more would be an “easy solution”.

“They were going to make many of them. And I said, “No, we don’t have to. I don’t want to drop that. I don’t want to do that’,” Trump said.

“So many easy solutions. That’s actually the easy solution. And they’d come in and they’d say, ‘Let’s have peace.’ But you don’t have to do that.”

Special Envoy Conveys Rouhani’s Message to Macron in Paris

During the Wednesday meeting, the two sides discussed the latest regional and international issues, particularly the necessity of finding solutions to ease tensions.

They also conferred on the need to keep safeguarding the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Araqchi arrived in Paris on Tuesday to convey President Rouhani’s message, which informed sources say contained Iran’s alternative offer to save the nuclear accord, in response to an earlier plan set forth by Macron.

The Iranian diplomat earlier held talks with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

In the meeting, Le Drian welcomed the Iranian emissary and touched upon the recent developments and diplomatic contacts between the two countries.

He described as significant Araqchi’s visit to Paris, and said France seeks to ease the current tensions.

The top French official noted Paris emphasizes the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will press ahead with its efforts in that regard.

He further said although the process to initiate the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchange (INSTEX) has been a long one, it is considered a key political step to put the mechanism into operation.

Araqchi, in turn, elaborated on the latest situation of Iran’s nuclear issue and the trend of Tehran scaling back its commitments under the JCPOA.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has put on its agenda the scaling back of its obligations under the JCPOA in accordance with its rights stipulated in the agreement, and diplomatic channels remain open,” said Iran’s envoy.

He thanked efforts and initiatives by France, especially by Macron, and said he would submit President Rouhani’s message to his opposite number during his stay.

He further described security in the Persian Gulf as very important.

“Iran will try its utmost to ensure security in this region, especially in the Strait of Hormuz, and will not allow any disruption in the trend of shipping in this sensitive region,” said Araqchi.

He also referred to Washington’s economic war against Iranian people.

“By imposing its illegal and unjust sanctions, the United States has targeted all Iranian people.” said the Iranian emissary.

“Europe is expected to adopt a clear stance on opposing the United States’ policy of seeking to bring Iran’s oil sales to zero, which is part of the ‘maximum pressure’ strategy,” he noted.

He reiterated that Iran will continue to export its petroleum under any circumstances.

The remarks were made by Chief of Staff of the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, on Wednesday.

“The IRGC made them [the Britons] kneel down by seizing the UK-flagged tanker,” he said.

“A country that once used to appoint ministers and lawmakers in Iran, has now been forced to send mediators to beg Iran to release the vessel,” the top official added.

“Thank God Iran has achieved such a position,” he added.

Iran confiscated the UK oil tanker Stena Impero on Friday night for breaching international maritime regulations while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The tanker was transferred to the port of Iran’s southern city of Bandar Abbas for maritime casualty investigation.
