“Iran on Verge of Major Legal Victory against US”

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Reza Nasri says the letter by the International Court of Justice, as alleged in some reports, is not equal to a provisional ruling.

“Iran on Verge of Major Legal Victory against US”
Reza Nasri

Speaking in an interview with Khabar Online, Nasri said the letter is drafted and sent in accordance with the provisions of the Statute of the Court that are given to the ICJ president, and generally is not considered legally binding by states.

However, he added, disregard for it is considered as a violation of the principle of “good faith” in the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

“The important point here is that the mere writing and sending of this letter indicates that Iran’s position in the lawsuit is strong enough and the ground is prepared for Iran’s success in winning such a case in the near future,” the international affairs lawyer said.

If the “provisional order” is issued soon, it can be said that Iran has obtained a valuable legal document from the highest UN judicial body and this is a significant diplomatic victory that can be used in various cases, noted Nasri.

Answering to a question regarding US withdrawal from 1955 Iran-US Treaty of Amity, he said there are three points to note: first, in the last forty years, despite intense political tensions between Iran and the United States, neither of the two countries has called for a withdrawal from the treaty.

“In other words, the two countries estimate that the maintenance of the treaty has legal privileges that none of them want to withdraw. One of these benefits is the possibility of referring to this document for the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, which is valuable to both governments.”

Secondly, he added, withdrawal from this agreement needs some preliminaries that are set out in the text of the treaty, and the US government cannot pull out of this treaty without considering these preliminaries – and without a one-year notice.

Thirdly, Nasri said, if the Trump government does so, the mere announcement of withdrawal from the treaty will not affect Iran’s filing of the lawsuit, and its only effect would be to create further dignity and credit for Iran, and political costs for the United States.

 

What Happens If ICJ Takes Iran’s Side but Trump Does Not Pay Heed?

Nasri says if the US refuses to comply with the provisions of the International Court of Justice, the UN Security Council is the main reference for the “enforcement” of the ruling.

In other words, if the Security Council determines that the failure to enforce the ruling poses a threat to international peace and security, it can meddle in as the responsible authority and take measures against that government, he noted.

But in the case of the United States, the problem is that America is one of the countries that has the veto right in the Security Council and can prevent the intervention of this body, Nasri regretted.

However, he added, it should be borne in mind that the value of The Hague ruling is not merely “legal”. The verdict of the court gives a unique moral and political legitimacy to countries and they are not at all negligible.

For example, Iran’s success in The Hague case against Britain after the “nationalization of the oil industry” is a moral, political, and historical success that, in its time, had a profound impact on international relations, and so far, has been remembered by Iran and the world, he went on to say.

“In addition, failure to comply with a court order would be costly for the United States,” added Nasri.

“Failure to comply with this decree requires the government of Trump again to disrepute the core bodies of the United Nations and once again represent itself as an ‘outlaw’ in the international arena.”

“Naturally, this will make Iran’s position very strong in negotiating with other countries and even in a possible dialogue with the United States. Indeed, it should be borne in mind that if the value of The Hague was merely “legal”, no member of the Security Council would file lawsuit at this court! However, we see that this is not the case, and most countries, even against global powers, come to this court on a number of occasions.”

Iran filed a lawsuit against the United States on July 17 alleging that Washington’s decision in May to impose sanctions after pulling out of a nuclear deal violates a 1955 treaty between the two countries.

Iran said in its lawsuit that Trump’s move “has violated and continued to violate multiple provisions” of the Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights.

The ICJ, which is based in The Hague and is also known as the World Court, is the United Nations tribunal for resolving international disputes. Although the ICJ is the highest United Nations court and its decisions are binding, it has no power to enforce them, and countries – including the United States – have occasionally ignored them.

Iran Says Red Sea No Longer Safe for US Navy

General Soleimani on Thursday lashed out at Donald Trump for his recent tweet in which he threatened Iran with “consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before”.

“This is the way people talk in a cabaret and casino. A cabaret owner talks to the world like this,” he said, stressing that it is beneath the dignity of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to respond to such remarks.

“Our president will not give you an answer [as your remarks are very worthless], but I will answer you as a soldier,” he noted, adding that the US must face the IRGC Quds Force and its commander.

He underscored that although a year has passed since Trump has taken office, his language is still like that of gamblers and cabaret owners. When he talks to European countries, China, Russia, Korea and the whole world, it seems a gambler is talking, and this destroys the dignity of a nation.

“Hey gambler Trump! I stand alone against you. The IRGC Quds Force stands against you. We [Iranian nation] have passed many hard times. You may start the war, but we will end it up, go and ask your predecessors, commanders, and security forces. So do not threaten to kill us. We are ready to stand against you,” he added.

“Remember that we are close to you way more than what you think. Remember that the one who stands against you is me [and Quds Force], not all the Armed Forces. Of course, you know Iran’s power in asymmetric warfare,” reiterated General Soleimani.

He further noted that the Red Sea, which used to be a safe place, is no longer safe for Americans today. “I would like to advise Trump to learn a lesson from the ex-presidents of the United States and use their experiences.”

General Soleimani’s comments on the Red Sea came as Riyadh has temporarily suspended all oil shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement launched retaliatory attacks on a Saudi warship and a vessel operated by the Riyadh-led coalition waging war the Arabian Peninsula state.

The Bab el-Mandab Strait, which is the southern entrance to the Red Sea, is one of the world’s key shipping lanes for crude oil and allows crude exports into the European market.

 

US Begged Iran for Help in Iraq

General Soleimai further noted, “What was it that you could do during the past 20 years but you didn’t? You went to Afghanistan with dozens of tanks and hundreds of advanced helicopters, and committed crimes. What the hell were you doing with 110,000 troops between 2001 and 2018 [there]? And today you are begging the Taliban to come to the negotiating table.”

“Never forget that you were looking for diapers for your soldiers, and now you are threatening us?! What the hell did you do during the 33-day war? Wasn’t that just accepting [Lebanese] Hezbollah’s conditions for the end of the war?”

“The US has turned many weddings into mourning ceremonies and plundered many villages and cities, but failed in Afghanistan. More than 60% of the casualties were civilians.”

“Ask your commanders in Iraq who sent a person to me and asked us to use our influence so their troops would not be attacked by Iraqi militants for a few months and get out of the country.”

The IRGC Quds Force Commander also highlighted that the United States has committed the most horrible crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying that “Abu Ghraib prison incident is enough to disgrace you forever.”

“You could not win a $2 trillion war in Yemen. A movement in Yemen is standing against you, but it has won the war against your most advanced combat capabilities. What did you get in these four years? You caused Riyadh and Saudi Arabia to come under fire, where a mortar had not been shot in a hundred years there. And now you are threatening us?”

“Trump! You should not threaten our nation, and you should not insult our president. You must know what you are saying.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, General Soleimani said, “Today you have gathered the rubbish of Iran, the MKO terrorist cult, to prove what?”

He went on to say that the Islamic Republic has learned very good experiences from eight years of holy defence [against Iraq], underlining that today, the Iranian society society faces widespread hostilities because of its valuable achievements.

“There existed sanctions in all periods, but we’ve been successful in countering them. During the eight-year war we stood against the countries that represented the arsenal of the world, but we were sanctioned and could not buy a simple engine. They tested the worst poisons that existed in European countries on our fronts and committed horrible crimes. But the Islamic Republic of Iran won this unequal war, heroically defeated the enemy, and captured thousands.”

Iran Rejects Saudi US Ambassador’s Worthless Claims about Zarif

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

In a statement on Thursday, the Public Relations Department of the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the allegations published by Asharq Al-Awsat are so ridiculous that they’re not worth a response.

It just needs to be noted that the newly-appointed and ambitious Saudi ambassador should not count on vain efforts to create doubt and gap among Iranians and maintain the psychological war launched by anti-Iran groups aimed at damaging internal cohesion and unity among the Iranian government, nation and officials, the statement said.

“The Iranian nation knows its great assets and committed, helpful, and patriotic officials well, and will never pay heed to such ignorant and amateurish allegations and lies and worn-out methods of their thoughtless think tanks, which were republished by anti-Iran media,” the statement said.

In an article published by Asharq Al-Awsat on Tuesday, Saudi Ambassador to the US Khalid bin Salman claimed that Zarif “desperately attempts to present a moderate face outside his country.”

“He doesn’t even try at home, where such networks are banned, demonstrating that what he says is mere lip service to the West,” the ambassador said.

Relations between Tehran and Riyadh have been cold in recent years, partly due to their conflicting views on regional developments, particularly on Yemen and Syria.

Saudi Arabia Suspends Oil Exports via Bab el-Mandeb Strait

By
IFP Media Wire
-

On Wednesday morning, the Houthi-run al-Masirah television network reported that Yemeni fighters had launched a missile attack on the Saudi Dammam battleship off the western coast of Yemen.

In a separate statement carried by Yemen’s official SABA news agency later in the day, the Houthis said they had also targeted a coalition boat off the coast of el-Durayhmi in southern Hudaydah port city.

A Yemeni navy source said that coalition boat was carrying weapons and Saudi-allied forces to Hudaydah, which has been the subject of a military push by Emirati forces and allied militants, backed by Saudi air raids.

Additionally, Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network quoted the Yemeni navy as saying that the boat had been destroyed and all on board had been killed.

However, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said in a statement late on Wednesday that the Houthi fighters had attacked two Saudi Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), each carrying 2 million barrels of oil, in the Red Sea.

“Saudi Arabia is temporarily halting all oil shipments through Bab el-Mandeb Strait immediately until the situation becomes clearer and the maritime transit through Bab el-Mandeb is safe,” he said.

Falih also said one of the VLCCs had sustained “minimal damage” and efforts were underway to move it to the nearest Saudi port.

Meanwhile, Saudi oil giant Aramco confirmed the Yemeni attacks on the vessels, which were operated by the kingdom’s shipping company Bahri.

It further claimed the decision to suspend shipments via Bab el-Mandeb was “in the interest of the safety of ships and their crews and to avoid the risk of oil spill.”

The Bab el-Mandab Strait, which is the southern entrance to the Red Sea, is one of the world’s key shipping lanes for crude oil and allows crude exports into the European market.

Yemeni navy warns aggressors

Yemen’s Naval and Coastal Defense Forces command said in a statement that the retaliatory operation “is not the first and will not be the last.”

“We reaffirm that those, who threaten international peace and security and expose the Red Sea security to great risks, are the US-Saudi aggression forces and their crimes and siege against the Yemeni people,” it added.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the war in March 2015 in support of Yemen’s former Riyadh-friendly government and against the Houthis.

Yemeni forces regularly target positions inside Saudi Arabia and fire rockets at the coalition’s battleships in retaliatory attacks against the Riyadh-led military operation on Yemen.

Saudi Arabia has also imposed a blockade on Yemen, which has smothered humanitarian deliveries of food and medicine to the import-dependent state.

The military campaign has killed and injured over 600,000 civilians, according to the latest figures released by the Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights.

Several Western countries have been supplying Saudi Arabia with advanced weapons and military equipment.

Iran Officially Protests at Pompeo’s Meddlesome Remarks

Iran Appoints Female Ambassador to Denmark

In a statement on Wednesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the letter contained Tehran’s protest against the US government, and condemned the groundless statements of the US Secretary of State, which were a clear instance of meddling in the Islamic Republic’s internal affairs.

“In the letter, Mike Pompeo’s remarks were slammed as a violation of the United Nations Charter and the mutual commitments of the US government, in particular The Algeria Declaration,” he noted, adding that Washington must be held accountable for such violations.

On Sunday, Pompeo launched into a rant against Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, branding them as merely polished front men for the Iran’s international con artistry.

Iran “is run by something that resembles the mafia more than a government,” Pompeo alleged, citing what he called Iranian leaders’ corruption and wealth.

Nayband; A Unique Village in Heart of Iran Deserts

In this type of architecture, whose best example is the village of Masuleh in Gilan province, there is a dense collection of houses in which the roofs of the lower houses are used as the yard of the upper houses.

According to the census in 2006, about 145 households and 484 people live in the village of Nayband, and thanks to the existence of springs and qanats, they live through the cultivation of citrus, palm, berry, and a variety of crops such as wheat, barley, vegetables and legumes.

Some of them are also engaged in animal husbandry. A series of factors including storms and severe rains as well as the migration of a large number of people have reduced the population of this village.

However, there are still people living there, and even the construction of new buildings in the northern part shows the development of Nayband.

Here are the photos of this gorgeous village retrieved from ISNA:

IRGC to Equip Su-22 Fighter Jets with Long-Range Cruise Missiles

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh said on Wednesday that the overhauled fighter jets had been grounded for more than 28 years.

Hajizadeh also announced that the jets will be equipped with some advanced weaponry such as smart and cluster bombs, air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles with pinpoint accuracy, as well as the capability to transfer data from drones flying miles away in the distance.

He said “air-to-ground cruise missiles with pinpoint accuracy and a range of 1,500 kilometers will be fitted on the bombers in the near future.”

The upgraded versions of the bombers were unveiled in a ceremony in Shiraz attended by IRGC Chief-Commander Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari, a report by Sepah News said.

Iran Air Force fleet enjoys a range of US and Russian-made fighter jets which were mostly procured before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Years of sanctions imposed on the country have made it difficult for Iran to obtain spare parts to overhaul its grounded jets, many of them rendered incapable during the war imposed by the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the 1980s.

The US technicians used to overhaul the warplanes in the past, but today, the Iranian technicians say they can successfully do the maintenance without any help from outside.
