Iran to Further Expand Its Missile Power If Pressured: IRGC

Brigadier General Hossein Salami said late on Saturday that Iran’s strategy to maintain a cap on its missile power will change if the European Union and others seek to force the country into disarmament.

“If the Europeans and others want to pursue the missile disarmament of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on a conspiracy, we will have no option but to resort to a strategic leap,” said Salami while speaking to the Iranian television.

The commander said Iran had no technical limits to expand the range, the destructive power and the propulsion system of its missiles, adding that it was Tehran’s policy to maintain a certain cap on the range of the missiles based on its own defensive strategy.

Salami said, however, that cap could be removed if others decide to pressure Iran into dismantling its long-range missile arsenal.

“Our defense strategy can change commensurate with the conditions and changes in the behavior of role-players,” said the IRGC commander.

The remarks come amid statements by certain EU governments about the need for Iran to avoid long-range missile tests in order for the country to enjoy the economic benefits of a nuclear agreement it signed in July 2015 with world powers.

Iran has repeatedly dismissed the statements, saying its missile program is not up for negotiation as part of efforts to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an international deal on the country’s nuclear activities which has suffered as a result of a decision last year by the United States to unilaterally withdraw from the agreement.

Iran on Saturday unveiled a surface-to-surface missile with a range of more than 1,350 kilometers during celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution.

The missile, named Hoveyzeh after a city in southwest Iran known for its resistance during the 1980s Iraqi war, was showcased at an exhibition of defense achievements in Tehran on Saturday.

Iranian Woman Holds Painting Exhibition Inspired by Prague Sculptures

The exhibition, titled “Posture, Fabric, Prague”, puts on display paintings by Mahsa Makki showing sculptures mixed with Iranian fabric motifs.

Iranian Woman Holds Painting Exhibition Inspired by Prague SculpturesThe idea of the exhibition came to Mahsa’s mind after a visit to the Czech, where she saw dozens of sculptures of famous Eastern European figures.

“Prague’s statues had a big impact on me. Behind these valuable statues are years of life and history of an era,” she said.

“To keep the spirit of sculptures alive, I preferred to mix them with fabrics with Iranian motifs. The [feeling of] life in the fabrics’ design helps present the spirit inside the sculptures,” she said.

This is the first solo exhibition of Mahsa, a 29-year-old graduate of painting who has held several group exhibitions inside and outside Iran.

The exhibition was held at the Sayeh Gallery in Tehran’s Karim Khan Avenue.

The following are photos of the exhibition published by honar Online news agency:

Iran Says Venezuela Will Foil US-Hatched Plots

Speaking after receiving the credentials of the new Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran Carlos Antonio Alcala Cordones, Rouhani said the US is against popular revolutions and independent governments and seek to stop them as part of its hegemonic policies.

“We back Mr Maduro’s legal government and believe the Venezuelan people, united with and standing by the government, will foil this plot the same way previous plots were foiled,” Rouhani said on Saturday.

Rouhani also noted that Iran would keep up developing friendly relations with Venezuela.

“In political, economic and investment fields, we will keep treading the previous path in bilateral relations,” he said.

Alcala Cordones, in turn, said his country is fighting a battle against global imperialism, and the Venezuelan people will finally emerge victorious.

Pointing to friendly relations between Iran and Venezuela in different grounds, the new ambassador said Venezuela counts on Iran’s support in its fight against imperialism.

Venezuela has been rocked by protests since Jan. 10 when President Maduro was sworn in for a second term following a vote boycotted by the opposition.

Tension climbed when Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself the acting president on Jan. 23.

‘Anti-Iran Poland Conference Sign of US Failure in Mideast’

Iran Warns E3 Will Get Response for Triggering Dispute Mechanism

Speaking to the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen channel on Saturday, Larijani said controversies surrounding the conference and contradicting statements by US and Polish officials on the agenda of the meeting show this is not a well-planned conference and is unlikely to produce tangible outcomes.

“The Warsaw conference is more like a psychological operation and they want to create [empty] grandeur for themselves,” ICANA reported him as saying, referring to the conference planned to be held in Poland mid-February.

Larijani said the US has been seeking to change Iran’s behaviour in the region, but they have failed to achieve this goal.

“The conditions of the Warsaw conference show that they have faced problems in realizing their goals and have failed to solve [their] issues in the region,” he said.

Pointing to an eight-country tour of the Middle East by US State Secretary Mike Pompeo in January and the Poland conference, Larijani said they are signs of the US weakness.

“Such moves are not signs of the US might. If Americans could do something, they wouldn’t need such trips and conferences,” he said.

 

Europe Moving Towards Independence

Larijani said the US has lost the close cooperation of its traditional allies in Europe, as they are dissatisfied by unilateral US moves, notably Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal that was taken as an insult in Europe.

The speaker said the US is seeking to create tensions among Europeans in a bid to prevent the EU measures from decreasing dependence on Washington.

However, Larijani said, Europeans have understood that their dependence on the US is highly dangerous and are determined to decrease it.

The speaker said Europeans no longer want to be highly dependent on the US, the traces of which can be seen in an announcement by some European governments that they seek to create an army, in Europe’s move to create the special financial mechanism (INSTEX) for trade with Iran, and their recent conference on the European internet.

“If Europe wants breathing room in the future, it must be able to stand on its feet in the international scene. Europeans have understood that this level of economic dependence is highly detrimental for them,” he said.

Imam Khomeini’s House Turns Khomein into Tourism Hub

EU’s Launch of INSTEX Grabs Headlines in Iran

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

All newspapers on Saturday covered the European Union’s announcement of the establishment of INSTEX, a long-awaited special purpose vehicle (SPV) aimed at facilitating trade with Tehran in the face of the US sanctions.

Reformist papers cautiously welcomed the move by the EU, but conservative ones mostly downplayed the mechanism, describing it as an ineffective effort which is being made too late.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:

Deal with US Not Even Worth the Ink: Iran FM

“Yet another withdrawal from an accord by the Trump administration; this time the #INFTreaty. It’s not just the #JCPOA or Iran: Seems this clique is allergic to anything w/ US signature on it. Message: Any deal with US govt is not worth the ink; even treaties ratified by Congress,” Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter on Friday.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that Washington will suspend its obligations under the INF (the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) on Saturday and will withdraw from the landmark 1987 arms control accord in six months if Moscow does not end its alleged violation of the pact.

“For years, Russia has violated terms of the INF Treaty without remorse. We will provide Russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice that the United States is withdrawing from the INF Treaty effective in six months, pursuant to Article 15 of the treaty,” Pompeo said.

Russia denies violating the treaty, which bans either side from stationing short- and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe.

In a similar move in May 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the JCPOA, the nuclear deal that was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of negotiations among Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Iran Unveils New Long-Range Cruise Missile ‘Hoveizeh’

“Hoveizeh has a range of over 1,350 kilometres and is used against fixed ground targets,” Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said during the unveiling ceremony.

General Hatami said the surface-to-surface missile could be quickly prepared for launch, can fly at low altitudes, and is highly accurate and explosive.

The general also noted that Iran has successfully test-fired the missile.

“The Hoveizeh cruise missile was test-fired and managed to accurately hit targets at a distance of 1,200 kilometres,” he said.

The missile was unveiled in an exhibition of Iran’s defensive achievements, which is being held ahead of the 40th anniversary of the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Iran’s missile program has made great progress in recent years, with the Iranian military developing dozens of home-grown ballistic and non-ballistic missiles.
