Iran Says US Talk of Renegotiating Nuclear Deal ‘Pointless’

Bahram Qassemi

Qassemi made the comments in reaction to a speech by US Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ashley Ford.

“Just like some of his colleagues, he [Ford] has unfortunately based his remarks on his pipe dreams, and he would definitely find the inconsistencies and flaws of his futile and groundless remarks if he just takes another look at his speech,” the Iranian spokesman said in a Wednesday statement.

Qassemi referred to the US as the biggest violator of international commitments, and said, “Breaching and disobeying the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 is a clear instance of the behaviours of an unruly and rogue government.”

Based on the UNSC Resolution 2231, he said, the international community considers the JCPOA as a deal whose provisions must be respected by all countries and related parties.

“In particular the P5+1 group of countries, as major parties to the deal, should have remained committed to their obligations, but it was the delinquent and lawbreaking US which … unilaterally and illegally withdrew from the accord without any reason and evidence, and insisted on refusing to implement its international commitments,” Qassemi said.

The US’ withdrawal came as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had repeatedly confirmed Iran’s compliance to the JCPOA in its reports, he added.

“The current US administration’s disobedience, unruliness, and grudge against the JCPOA has not stopped even after its withdrawal from the deal, and Washington is now threatening others who want to implement the deal,” Qassemi said.

“The country, in violation of all legal and international norms and with a rare and very dangerous approach, is either punishing the countries that have remained committed to the UNSC Resolution 2231, or threatening to punish, sanction, and ban them by sending various delegations,” he went on to say.

Qassemi said the JCPOA has made a considerable contribution to maintaining regional and international peace and security. “Any violation of the deal and the UNSC Resolution is a destabilizing move that destructs and endangers international and regional peace and security.”

“The country [US] must be held accountable for the consequences of undermining the deal,” he added.

The US has practically shown it is not bound by its commitments or by international norms and adopts double-standard approaches to all issues, Qassemi said, adding that “the remarks made by this American official [Ford] and other US statesmen regarding the JCPOA and Iran’s missile program have become totally pointless for us.”

“Talking of renegotiating the deal is just testing what has already been tested,” he said, calling on the lawbreaking US government to respect the international law and live up to its international commitments.

The Iranian spokesman’s comments came after Ford suggested Tuesday that the US could sit down with Iran to renegotiate the deal.

During his remarks at a conference in the UK, Ford accused Iran of violating the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and said the Islamic Republic had a tendency ” to violate its obligations under multiple, legally-binding Security Council resolutions.”

“Iran’s track record demonstrates, in painful detail, how little the world can trust Iran’s promises if its underlying capabilities are not subject to constraint,” the US official noted.

Iranian Kids to Attend Abacus, Mental Arithmetic Contest in Malaysia

An Iranian official said the 35 kids have been selected out of 323 students from across the country.

Ruhollah Mokhberian, the Managing Director of the Smart Kids Institute of Iran, noted that the 35-member team consists of participants aged 5 to 14 years.

“The team that travels to Kuala Lumpur on December 22 includes nine kids from Alborz province, two from Lorestan, two from Bushehr, two from Tehran, two from Zanjan, four from Markazi, one from Kurdistan, ten from Kermanshah, four from Hormozgan, and one from Hamadan province,” added Mokhberian.

Smart kids from Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, Hong Kong, the United States, South Africa, Vietnam, South Korea, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Australia, India, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, UAE, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Tajikistan, Yemen and Iran in this round of PAMA Global Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Championships.

This year, Iran is taking part in the contest in five groups covering all levels of the tournament. Iran has also offered to host the PAMA Championships in the Middle East in 2019.

The latest achievements of mental calculations are also going to be studied at this international event.

The championship is an example of what can be achieved with early intervention in abacus math and mental arithmetic education.

Last year, the Iranian team ranked first among 300 students from 21 countries.

Saudis to Incur God’s Wrath for Crimes in Yemen: Iran Leader

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

“The crime the Al Saud is committing to occupy Yemen will finally backfire,” the Leader said in a Wednesday meeting with the families of Iranian martyrs in Tehran.

“It’s been four years that they [Saudis] are committing crimes in Yemen. They thought they would win the battle in a few days or weeks, but the more they move forward, the heavier will become their defeat and the blow dealt on them,” he added.

The Leader said the Custodians of the Two Holy Mosques must take a hard line on infidels, but the Saudi rulers have taken their hard line on Yemen and Bahrain.

“This will provoke God’s wrath,” the Leader warned.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a devastating war, code-named Operation Decisive Storm, against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh, and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

The Western-backed offensive initially consisted of a bombing campaign, but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces to Yemen.

The imposed war has so far failed to achieve its goals, thanks to stiff resistance from Yemeni troops and allied Houthi fighters, but it has killed thousands of innocent people and led to a deadly famine and cholera outbreak.

 

Trump Reveals Ugly Face of US to World

Ayatollah Khamenei further referred to Washington’s complicity in the Saudi crimes in Yemen, and described it as a sign that shows the true face of the United States.

“Look at the US statesmen today; look at their lust for money, violation of rights, and indifference to the lives and properties of human beings. Yemen is just an example,” he said.

“The crime is committed by the Saudis; but the US is accomplice, as they have admitted. They attack hospitals, markets, and highly-populated areas; they are criminals. This is the US’ face,” the Leader noted.

He then addressed the Iranian nation, and said, “You can look at the American statesmen and the US president to know the true face of America. They have explicitly revealed the ugly face of the US.”

Despite mounting criticism over the humanitarian crisis in the impoverished country and calls on the US government to stop its arms support for the Saudi-led coalition, the Trump administration recently announced it wants to continue support for the Saudi war on Yemen.

US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Persian Gulf Affairs Timothy Lenderking said on Sunday Washington’s backing for the Saudi war is “necessary” and that its discontinuation “sends a wrong message.”

“Obviously there are pressures in our system … to either withdraw from the conflict or discontinue our support of the coalition, which we are strongly opposed to on the administration side,” he told a security forum in the UAE.

Last month, the US Senate voted to advance a resolution calling for an end to US military support for the Saudi-led coalition, including arms sales and intelligence sharing.

 

US Plot to Create Chaos in Iran

Ayatollah Khamenei also pointed to the US’ plan to create chaos in Iran, and said the plot has been uncovered and they have no other plan to harm the Islamic Republic.

“They have done whatever they could. The US’ plot is to create disagreement, civil war, and problems in our country through sanctions and anti-security measures. They have made all their efforts to this end.”

This spring, “the Americans announced Iran will face a hot summer, and won’t last to celebrate its 40th birthday,” the Leader said.

However, to their dismay, this summer was one of the best ones, and the Iranian nation will celebrate the fortieth birthday of its Islamic Revolution in February in a more glorious way than ever.

The Leader at the same time warned the Iranian people of the Americans’ future plots to disrupt the country’s security.

“The Iranian nation must remain vigilant. It might be a trick that the Americans said they would do such things in 2018. They might be creating the fuss in 2018, and hatch the plot for 2019. Everyone must remain vigilant,” he noted.

“The US is a mischievous enemy that works with the Zionists and regional reactionaries. We must remain awake. Of course we are stronger, and they have so far failed to do anything, and will fail to do a damn thing from now on.”

He also urged all the youth and various political factions and bodies in the country not to prepare the ground for the enemy’s plots.

US President Donald Trump entered the White House promising to take a more aggressive approach to Iran than his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose administration negotiated the landmark nuclear deal with Tehran along with Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.

Since then, he has surrounded himself with known Iran hawks like John Bolton and supporters of the anti-Iran terrorist group MKO, and re-imposed many of the sanctions that were lifted as part of the 2015 deal.

Iran Denies Link to Arms Seized in Central Afghanistan

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul was reacting to claims on Sunday by local officials in Ghazni Province that they had found “Iran-made” weaponry from a Taliban hideout in Ghazni City, the provincial capital.

They claimed the arms included nine Kalashnikovs, five pistols, a hand grenade and a large number of bullets.

“Currently, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Afghanistan enjoy great economic and cultural relations and [no party] should be allowed to hamper the growing ties between the two friendly governments,” Iran’s mission in Afghanistan said in a statement on Tuesday.

The embassy has conveyed Iran’s dissatisfaction with the matter to Afghan authorities, and seeks “clear documentation” on the claims.

Afghan people face insecurity 16 years after the United States and its allies invaded the country as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror.

Although the Taliban militant group was removed from power as a result of the invasion, the country remains occupied and many areas are still threatened by insecurity.

Iran has repeatedly rejected allegations that it aids the Taliban, saying such claims are instigated by the US in an attempt to divert public opinion from the real cause of violence in Afghanistan.

Face Yoga: A Unique Way to Keep Skin Young

Doing face yoga and massaging the face increases blood circulation and helps discharge toxic agents from the body. It will remove wrinkles and smooth jaw lines.

British dermatologists Danielle Collins and Julia Anastasiou are regarded as the first instructors of face yoga. Face Yoga has numerous benefits: it strengthens the lower muscles, speeds up blood circulation, increases the amount of oxygen absorbed from the surrounding environment, makes the skin shiny and bright, triggers the production of collagen and creates an elastic property in the face. By doing face yoga 20 minutes a day six days a week, you will see a considerable difference in your skin after just one month.

Face Yoga: A Unique Way to Keep Skin Young

  1. Sit up straight on a chair and put your hands on your thighs. Take a deep breath through the nose and hold your breath before exhaling the air through the mouth. Remove the air in your mouth between your left and right cheeks repeatedly for eight to 10 times before breathing it out. Then repeat the move again. This will prevent the creation of laugh lines and drooping, and boosts facial muscles.
  2. Look as if you are so much surprised. Keep your eyes wide open and pull your lips horizontally as much as you can. While doing this, you may keep repeating the English sound “o”. Do this ten times. This exercise will smooth the forehead and removes wrinkles.
  3. make a “V” shape using your middle and point fingers, putting them under your both eyes aligned with the two corners of eyebrows. Press your face with your fingers and at the same time try to close your eyes and move your eyebrows downward.
  4. Smile with your mouth closed and pull your lips alongside your face. Then immediately press your lips together in the opposite direction to become as small in size as possible.
  5. Put your point finger and thumb between the corner of your eyes an under the cheeks and press them. Do it eight times, every time for five seconds. The advantage of this exercise is that it strengthens check muscles and prevents the face from drooping.

 

By simply doing these exercises, which does not take much time, you will be able to have a healthy and young skin even when you are a middle-aged or old person. Among the benefits of the exercises is that they even remove wrinkles on old people’s faces.

President Rouhani under Fire for FATF Remarks

In a report, Tasnim News Agency lashed out at Rouhani’s Monday comments saying that his statements are reminiscent of the days when he and his cabinet were struggling to lead the country towards signing the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“President Rouhani spoke of the importance of the JCPOA in a way that he was linking the simplest details of people’s everyday life to the nuclear deal,” the report said.

“From the very beginning of his term in office, Rouhani believed the key to solving the problems of the country is in holding negotiations with the United States and the West. He believed that with the nuclear deal people can live a normal life.”

“The insistence of Rouhani and his cabinet on signing the deal eventual forced Iran to give many concessions and, of course, shut down its centrifuges. However, over time, it was proved that the President was too optimistic about the nuclear agreement,” the report added.

“According to the Governor of Iran’s Central Banks at that time, the result of this accord was ‘almost nothing’ for the president and the people of Iran,” it said, referring to remarks by former chief banker Valiollah Seif.

“Today, after several years, the United States has simply violated this deal and imposed sanctions on Iran under various pretexts. Despite this bitter experience, apparently, the president still pins hope on the help of Western countries, and he does not want to solve the country’s problems by reforming domestic policies and recovering economy.”

“Rouhani this time used the FATF to give people a signal that, if FATF is not approved, we should see more inflation!” Tasnim said.

“This comes as Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, earlier said that ‘neither I, nor the President can guarantee that our problems will be solved by joining the CFT’,” it went on to say, referring to the Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) convention, which Rouhani’s government is trying to have the country join it as part of efforts to take Iran out of the blacklist of the global anti-money laundering body, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

“Rouhani’s Monday remarks show that he is to place the country in a dilemma. He wants to send this false signal that Iranians either accept the FATF and have an inexpensive life, or get more expensive services by rejecting the bill!”

“Instead of resolving the problems by relying on domestic power, Rouhani once again has placed the people in a dilemma over FATF, and he is struggling to reach his goals by changing the mental atmosphere of the society,” the report added.

“The government must know that the first and last one to be blamed for the current inflation is the government itself. As President Rouhani once again tied the problems of the country to the FATF, he should answer this question: Can he guarantee that the country’s economic problems will be resolved, and Iran will certainly be linked to foreign banks after joining the FATF?”

Of course, FM Zarif already answered this question saying that “neither I, nor the President can guarantee that the problems of the country will be resolved with the CFT.”

Therefore, Tasnim said, based on the experience of the member states, we can say that with the FATF, the cost of exchanging with foreign banks will be increased.

“Another question Rouhani must answer is that: Can he guarantee that by joining the FATF, the financial and psychological costs of the country will not increase with the commitments we make?”

“However, the experience shows even if he guarantees, he cannot be trusted as he had already said that all the problems would be solved by the JCPOA, but it did not happen!”

“The JCPOA was supposed to reduce the living costs, but the question that all people ask him these days is that why the prices soar as we have signed the nuclear deal. Mr Rouhani! Do you guarantee that we will not see prices soar after joining the FAFT? Do you guarantee that unemployment will be cut? Do you guarantee that people will not live in poverty anymore?” the report asked.

Tehran Hosting “Cinema Verite” Documentary Festival

Kicked off on December 9, the seven-day event is organized by the Iran Documentary and Experimental Film Centre affiliated with the Iranian Ministry of Culture.

The festival has three sections – National, International and Avini Award – in which the competing films are categorized in qualitative and thematic terms.

This year, 634 films were presented to the Secretariat of the festival out of which the committee in charge of selecting the films picked up 71 films for the national section, including 27 short-length, 20 mid-length, and 24 full-length documentaries.

The committee selected 29 other films to compete in the Avini Award section, which is dedicated to films made about resistance, the Islamic Revolution, and the Sacred Defence (Iran-Iraq war).

In the international section, about 4,000 documentaries from 100 countries were sent to the secretariat out of which 27 documentaries from 20 countries were picked up.

Meanwhile, in the non-competition section, most of the documentaries which have made their way into the screening program enjoy two main features: they are produced by veteran documentary makers including Mohammad Reza Aslani, Manouchehr Tayyab, Farshad Fadaeian and Farhad Varharam. On the other hand, their themes are attractive for the audiences.

Among the main guests attending the festival one can refer to the French director Nicolas Philibert; Caspar Sonnen, the director of the Netherlands’ IDFA DocLab Festival; Irina Shatalova, manager of Moscow Documentary Film Festival; Vitaly Mansky, director of Putin’s Witnesses; and Raghu Rai, known as the father of India’s photography.

Oldest Iranian Woman Dies at 140

Goli Papi, an Iranian woman from a tribe in Lorestan, was estimated to be 142 when she died on December 10, 2018.

Hailing from the western Lorestan province, she died on Monday in a retirement home in the city of Khorramabad.

“The late woman was from a tribe called Papi residing in Silakhor Plain in Dorud County,” said Morad Hossein Papi, known as the father of genealogy in Iran.

Based on her identity card, Ms Papi was 126 years old but it is estimated that she was about 140 years old before dying and belonged to at least five generations ago.

According to Morad Hossein Papi, the late woman didn’t bear any child after marriage and lived for a long time with her close family members before being taken to the retirement home in Khorramabad in 2014.

Oldest Iranian Woman Dies at 140
The identity card of Goli Papi, an Iranian woman from a tribe in Lorestan, shows she had been born on April 5, 1893; however, local geneologists say she was estimated to be 142 when she died on December 10, 2018.
