During their telephone conversations on Wednesday, Boris Johnson of Britain and Jean-Yves Le Drian of France expressed their support for the sustenance of the JCPOA, and said Iran should benefit from the privileges of the agreement.

Iran’s Mohammad Javad Zarif, in turn, said the other signatories to the deal should give Iran guarantees that it will be able to reap the benefits of the deal.

In their phone talks, the three top diplomats also agreed to hold meetings at the level of experts as well as ministers.

Europe Has Limited Time to Save Iran Nuclear Deal: Rouhani

Hassan Rouhani made the comment in a phone conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.

“The JCPOA was the result of long-running and constant efforts from 2003 to 2015, and it is an international agreement as it has been approved by the UN Security Council,” said the Iranian President as reported by Fars News Agency.

President Rouhani described US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal as a cheap move.

“While remaining fully committed to its obligations under the JCPOA, Iran has pursued, and will pursue the achievement of national interests; but unfortunately, the other side has not had a satisfactory performance when it comes to making good on its commitments,” the Iranian president noted.

“Contrary to Trump’s illusion, [uranium enrichment] in Iran has never been aimed at achieving nuclear weapon s; rather, it has been a scientific and technical attempt to boost national pride and meet the needs of Iranian people,” Rouhani underlined.

He said foreign ministers and expert groups of Iran and European Union countries should hold meetings within just several weeks to review issues related to the preservation of the JCPOA and arrive at a clear decision.

“Iran’s interests should be clearly and straightforwardly specified and guaranteed in topics and key issues related to the maintenance of the JCPOA such as oil sales, banking relations, investment and insurance,” President Rouhani said.

He said foreign companies which have signed contracts with, or invested in Iran should clearly announce their decisions on how they are going to deal with Washington’s pullout from the JCPOA.

“If we reach a clear decision on the JCPOA in a limited and specific period of time, we will witness a broader interaction between Iran and Europe.

“Consultations and cooperation between Iran and France will continue in line with securing common interests as well as security and stability in the region,” said the president.

Rouhani underscored that what the US president did was a wrong move.

“Today, we have a historic responsibility to preserve the JCPOA, and history in the future will prove that Trump has made a big mistake,” he said.

“Unfortunately, Europe missed the four-month-long chance that it could use to preserve thee JCPOA, and spend that time on convincing the new US administration to stay in the JCPOA.”

The French president, in turn, expressed regret over Trump’s decision to pull out of the JCPOA, saying European countries have, in a collective reaction, expressed their objection to the decision.

He said Trump’s decision has even triggered a sense of conflict in the US, and underlined the need to safeguard the framework of the JCPOA. He urged all parties to the agreement to deliver on their commitments. Macron said Europe will consistently try to preserve the deal.

The French president said “we can plan how to get involved in activities beyond the JCPOA through the enhancement of cooperation.”

He said extensive cooperation between Iran and Europe is instrumental in boosting peace and security in the region.

The huge artwork, which measures 10×1.5, has been painted by 15 artists during a workshop in Ali Akbar Sanati Museum in Tehran over the past week, a report by Honar Online said.

The director of the workshop, Azita Safavi, said that the central themes of the paintings are peace and friendship, and the group has tried to make the public familiar with art through this workshop.

Hossein Tadi, one of the participating painters, said, “Iran is a country that has experienced war (the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war). One aim of this painting is to augment peace and friendship that can motivate artists.”

He added that many people visiting the museum also contributed to the painting.

“We used the images of some people in creating the artwork,” he said, adding that their presence was really inspiring for the group of artists painting symbolic elements of peace and kindness.

The paintings will be on display until May 11 at the Ali Akbar Sanati Museum, which is managed by the Iranian Red Crescent Society.

The museum is home to works by the distinguished Iranian sculptor and painter Ali Akbar Sanati.

5 Tips to Keep Your Back Safe When Travelling

In many cases elderly people prefer to lead a relaxed style of life once they are retired. But there are those for whom this is not an option at all. Many elderly people love to travel and explore the world. Retirement provides them with more time for doing this sort of things. Such a lifestyle positively influences both their physical shape and the state of their brains. At the same time it is important to keep in mind that the age puts a number of limitations and restrictions. Basically, things become more difficult and in a way risky for your body. One thing to particularly consider while travelling is the state in which your back is. Here are just a few tips to consider when travelling.

 

Physical Exercises

Exercises which help you support your spinal muscles are also critically important. The older we become the less willing we are to spend time and effort on additional physical activities, but at the same time the more critical it becomes for keeping one’s back in good order. Consider picking a few exercises which you will be comfortable with and make them during every one of your trips. These exercises ought not to be neglected during your stays at home either. Your muscles need to remain in good shape. You may consider also purchasing devices like waist trainers in order to make some of your exercises less exhausting and more effective at the same time. Consult your general practitioner and ask them what the best waist trainer is. They will probably recommend you a few models. Choose one and always have it with you on your every trip.

 

Always find a good bed to sleep in

When booking a hotel, particularly in the third world countries, you ought to make sure that they have beds with reasonable quality available. It is really important that you sleep in a comfortable bed and recover from the stress of the day.

 

Avoid lengthy trips

If you are travelling to a large distance you should consider making stops in order to avoid being stuck in an airplane chair for a long period of time. Find options where you have to change and thus have an opportunity to go out and thus prevent your back from getting stiff. Another good idea is travelling by train. A sleeping carriage allows you to lie down for a while, to have minor walks and even go out at major stations.

 

A hard pillow

A hard pillow is something that you certainly need to have in order to keep your back in order. A hard and narrow pillow will not always be found at hotels and you certainly cannot count on getting one in the trains and planes. This is why it may be a good idea to always have such a pillow with you especially if you travel a lot.

 

A diet

Lastly, you need to stick to a diet that contains more vegetables and cheese in order to provide your backbone with all the necessary elements it requires to last longer.

These few steps will allow you to make your trips more enjoyable and risk free for your back.

US Exit from JCPOA Not to Cause Any Problem for Iran Economy: Central Bank

By
IFP Media Wire
-

In a statement on Wednesday, the Central Bank of Iran said it has formulated the essential plans since a long time ago to deal with US violations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and its withdrawal from the nuclear agreement.

It came after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced his administration’s withdrawal from the JCPOA and signed a memorandum to immediately begin imposing economic sanctions on Iran lifted under the deal.

In the statement, the Central Bank assured the Iranian nation that a package of prearranged measures has led to the full control over the country’s currency sources and consumption.

“The country’s banking system… is fully capable of meeting all hard currency needs,” the statement added, saying the Central Bank is governing the currency flow by focusing on support for national production.

It also assured all Iranian economic activists that the US move to scrap the JCPOA “will not interrupt the process of coping with the country’s currency demands” at all.

Following the controversial decision, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Iran weighs plans to remain in the agreement with the other five parties, namely Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, provided that the remaining JCPOA parties ensure its full benefits for Iran.

US First Side to Lose after Iran Deal Withdrawal: Erdogan

“The United States has not remained faithful to the agreement it had reached,” Erdoğan said, Anadolu Agency quoted him as telling CNN International.

“You should respect an agreement you have signed,” the Turkish president added.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry stated on May 8 that the United States’ decision to unilaterally withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal was an “unfortunate step.”

“Turkey has always defended the stance that issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program should be resolved through diplomacy and negotiations and has made intensive efforts in this direction,” the ministry said in a press release on its website.

“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] accepted in 2015 was an important step taken to prevent proliferation. The plan in question has shown that even the most difficult of subjects could be resolved through negotiations,” it added.

E3 Must Give Guarantee to Keep Iran in Nuclear Deal: Leader

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

Addressing a gathering of teachers and academics in Farhangian University in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said it would be “illogical” for Iran to stay in the deal without clear assurances.

The Leader, however, said he is pessimistic that the three European countries – the UK, Germany and France – would give Iran firm guarantee for fulfilling their undertakings.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the US withdrawal from JCPOA demonstrated that Iran’s nuclear activities, which had peaceful applications, were just a pretext for Washington to place pressure on Iran.

“We agreed to the deal, but [the US] hostility towards Iran did not finish,” the Leader said.
“Now they are raising the issue of our presence in the region and missiles, but [their hostility] will not end even if we accept [restrictions],” he said.

 

Root of US Hostility

The Leader said the hostility of the US towards Iran has its origins in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which toppled the rule of the US-backed dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

“Their opposition to the Islamic Republic is due to the fact that the revolution ended the total domination of the US over Iran,” he said.

Ayatollah Khamenei further noted the US wants puppet regimes in the region, who can be milked by Washington and discarded whenever needed.

“A few days ago, we got our hands on a letter from Trump to heads of Persian Gulf countries. In the letter, Trump says I spent $7 trillion for you and in return, you should do this,” the Leader said, without elaborating on the US demand.

“You spent [the money] to dominate Iraq and Syria, but you couldn’t. To hell with that!” the Leader said, suggesting it is yet another attempt by the US at milking the wealthy oil kingdoms.

Iranian officials have warned that they will ramp up Tehran’s nuclear program if the deal collapses, to achieve a more advanced level than before the deal.

Among the measures Iran has suggested it will take are restoring its 20-percent uranium enrichment and abandon the Non-Proliferation Treaty on nuclear weapons.

The pact settled a 12-year dispute between Iran and western powers accusing Iran of covertly building nukes, an allegation that has always been rejected by Tehran.

Under the deal, Iran undertook to place confidence-building restrictions on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of the US, EU and UN sanctions on Iran.

Trump, who has hardened the US line on Iran and spared no chance to attack the nuclear deal, had threatened to withdraw from the accord unless what he called “disastrous flaws” of the nuclear deal are fixed.

Among the so-called flaws were that the nuclear deal has failed to curb Iran’s missile program and regional activities.

Iran to Engage in Intensive Talks with Europe over JCPOA

Ali Larijani

Speaking in an open session of the parliament on Wednesday, Ali Larijani said Iran will engage in intense talks with Europeans to see if they are willing to keep the deal alive.

“This is a chance for Europe to show if it has enough weight to settle international disputes,” ICANA quoted Larijani as saying.

The 2015 agreement, worked out by the United States, five other world powers and Iran, lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran limiting its nuclear program.

Larijani said he personally is not optimistic that Europe could hold its ground and keep its promise to save the nuclear accord.

“However, it is worth waiting for several weeks, so everyone would see with one’s own eyes that Iran tried all paths to a peaceful solution,” he said.

The Parliament speaker said the legislature’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has to monitor talks between Iran’s Foreign Ministry and European powers and report back to the parliament so it takes the final decision.

The speaker said Iran could remain in the pact if other parties to the accord, namely European powers and Russia and China, move to protect the nuclear accord.

Otherwise, he added, Iran will take measures to bring US President Donald Trump to his senses.

Larijani said Iranians should unite to stand against their enemy and give a crushing response to the US and Israel.

The leaders of Britain, Germany and France, which were signatories to the deal along with China and Russia, said in a joint statement that Trump’s decision was a source of “regret and concern.”

Russia and China have announced they would try to block any US attempt to sabotage the nuclear deal.

Iranian officials have warned that they will ramp up Tehran’s nuclear program if the deal collapses, to achieve a more advanced level than before the deal.

“Thank God the US walked out of the pact. This is the nature of the global arrogance,” Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Wednesday.

“The Biggest benefit of the JCPOA was that it proved the US cannot be trusted,” he said, according to ISNA.

Mousavi said the Iranian nation believes in the God’s promises and the country can win the battle with the US if it stands its ground.

In a televised address on Tuesday, Trump announced his decision to withdraw the United States from Iran’s nuclear deal with the world powers and re-impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

“I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal,”Trump said. “This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.”

“In a few moments, I will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating US nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime. We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions.”

The European Union, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have expressed support for the deal, and regret over the US decision.
