The “important” meeting was held in Tehran amid an unprecedented devaluation of Iran’s national currency.

During the talks, the Leader underlined the country’s capabilities to overcome the economic problems and said thwarting enemies’ plots at the current situation is possible through tireless works and efforts by all officials and unification and cooperation among people from all walks of life in Iran.

The Leader underlined the “urgent need for expansion of diplomacy and foreign contacts” and said except for a few countries like the US, Iran should expand its diplomatic relations with the East and West.

He then called for developing a roadmap for a stable economy and said as soon as the roadmap is developed, the nation and economic leaders will take on their assignments and provide the government with a sense of tranquility and stability to press ahead with its projects.

Strengthening the private sector and the need to seriously deal with economic corruption were among other significant guidelines given by the Iranian leader to the cabinet ministers.

Ayatollah Khamenei referred to some violations by certain individuals and organizations over the past years in gold coin and currency markets and said the government must seriously deal with the violators at any level.

Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution also praised the recent order by Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani to take serious action against the violators in automobile importation and said the orders should be followed up till the ideal results are achieved.

He also called for government’s full control over the foreign currencies market and its resolute fight against destructive financial activities and money laundering and said the violations should be dealt with through legal regulations.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged the officials to directly discuss the problems with the nation and provide them with clear clues to let them know about the enemies’ plots against the Islamic Republic.

“I’m completely sure that if the mentioned conditions are met, the government can overcome the current problems and foil the US plots,” he noted.

Elsewhere in his address, the leader said the European signatories to the Iran nuclear deal are obliged to give necessary guarantees to Iran under the JCPOA.

He also said showing authority in the face of enemies particularly US is necessary and this should be done resolutely and in due time.

Rouhani made the call after receiving reports from the three ministries of industry, mines and trade, intelligence, and finance and economic affairs as well as the Inspection Department of the Presidential Office.

The president had given them the necessary instructions to tackle the issue while calling on the Judiciary to do whatever it takes to look into the case immediately and carefully to see the offenders brought to justice and their ill-gotten wealth returned to the public purse.

In a report to Iranian people, Rouhani said evidence suggests that the process of importing cars was beset by corruption.

“Now, thanks to the efforts by executive officials and based on all of the reports presented, we can speak of the possibility of organized corruption through the collaboration of a number of state agents, a computer company and several car-importing firms,” said the president.

Rouhani said the relevant authorities received the necessary instructions and the Judiciary was asked to tackle the violations “in line with the president’s commitment to the principle of transparency and understanding the necessity that government should start its campaign against corruption.”

Erdogan: Turkey Set to Do Trade with Iran Using National Currencies

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the move is aimed at countering the adverse effects of fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies usually used in international trade.

He said fluctuations in forex exchange rates are not an issue that only Turkey is facing, but is an international concern. Erdogan noted that one of the best ways to tackle the issue is to do trade with other countries using national currencies.

The Turkish president said the exchange rates for the greenback and the Euro keep fluctuating in different countries, bringing uncertainty upon exporters and importers. As a result, he added, talks are underway with Russia, Iran and China on the implementation of an agreement to conduct trade using national currencies.

Erdogan stressed that doing trade using national currencies will minimize the effects of fluctuations in forex exchange rates.

Turkey’s exports and imports stand at around $160 billion and $200 billion a year respectively. Turkey is among the key trade partners of Iran, Russia and China.

The value of Turkey’s lira against the US dollar has dropped by 30 percent this year. The lira has lost its value against the euro by 25 percent.

Erdogan says the plunge in the value of the Turkish monetary unit is a move aimed at challenging the country’s economy, but underlines that Turkey will continue to move forward on its path.

Iran Leader’s Aide Describes Putin as “Logical, Brave” Politician

Shortly after a meeting with Putin, Velayati referred to the upcoming summit between Trump and Putin in Helsinki and said it is unlikely that Trump adopts a logical stance in his meeting with Putin.

Velayati described Putin as a logical, brave and predictable politician with clear positions, saying, “Their summit is significant and the whole world should be aware that Trump is not striding in the right direction and he is delusional when it comes to running his country,” he said.

He further noted that Iran has no plan for holding any negotiation with the US, particularly the Trump administration

Velayati referred to the US’ illegal withdrawal from the multinational Iran nuclear deal and said Washington violated the very deal which had been confirmed by the United Nations Security Council.

“Amid such situation, is it logical for us to sit for talks with the US to hear unsubstantiated remarks?” he was quoted as saying in a report by IRNA.

He said the US claims it will not allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to export oil through Persian Gulf, adding, Iran’s reply, as announced by President Hassan Rouhani was explicit, that is, if Iran is not allowed to export oil through Persian Gulf, no other regional states could do so.

Touching on Iran-Russia relations in the oil area, Velayati said Iran sells oil to Russia and receives its money.

The way President Putin sat in front of Velayati sparked positive reactions by experts and diplomats, who described it as a sign of warm and strategic ties between the two countries.

“We have got accustomed to problems facing in selling our oil over the past decades. We don’t see any serious problem. The sanctions could hamper our efforts but we know how to market and sell our oil amid the sanctions,” he said.

He went on to say that the Islamic Republic has signed agreements with three Russian oil companies and “Putin has expressed his country’s preparedness to make investment in Iran.”

According to Velayati, Iran-Russia relations date back to 500 years ago and the relations are too strong to be overshadowed by trivial issues. “Tehran attaches significant importance to its relations with Moscow and the two sides have good cooperation in Syria.”

He then referred to the anti-Iran campaign of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said Iran doesn’t care about his moves and even the western countries have realized that his words should not be taken seriously.

Britons Design Creative Trump Blimps to Protest His Visit (+Photos)

London activists were highly involved in arrangements for protests against Trump’s four-day visit to the UK. Designing creative effigies of Trump was among the main measures adopted by the Londoners to express their anti-Trump protests.

Thousands of protesters also marched through the streets of London on Friday as Trump met Prime Minister Theresa May and the Queen earlier on Friday.

Trump travelled to Britain, Washington’s key ally, one and a half years after he took office as president. During his stay, Trump meet with Queen Elizabeth, PM May and other UK officials.

Trump was scheduled to visit Britain in June 2017, but Britons were opposed to his trip because of his anti-Muslim policies and his executive order that banned migrants of some Islamic countries from entering the US.

Objections to Trump’s trip to Britain did not stop there, and those opposing his immigration and other racist policies such as his support for supremacists or right-wing extremists in Britain staged a protest rally in early 2017. They threatened to stage the largest demonstration in the UK’s history if Trump travelled to their country.

Afterwards, Trump’s trip to the UK was postponed several times.

What follows are photos of the blimps flown amid his visit:

Belgium Highly Dangerous in Counterattacks: AFC Instructor

Masoud Eqbali, a senior AFC instructor, believes the British team is not capable of controlling Belgian stars.

In a recent interview with Azad News Agency, Eghbali said most of the Belgian team members play for leading clubs in the world, adding the players have contributed considerably to their teams’ success thanks to their high capabilities as well as their exceptional mental power.

“The Belgian team enjoys extraordinary halfbacks including Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Michael Hazard and Mertens. Their defence line is also highly prepared with their goalkeeper in an ideal physical condition. The team can be highly dangerous in counterattacks,” he added.

“Interestingly enough, among the nations with highly professional leagues like England, Spain and Germany, it was the Britons who managed to reach the Semis. This reveals that their players hadn’t recovered fully yet from the huge pressure exerted on them by their club matches,” he said.

Eqbali then referred to the physical preparedness of the participating teams in the 2018 World Cup’s semis and added the factor of chance played its role in the success or failure of many teams during the tournament.

The play-off match for the third-place will be held between England and Belgium within a few hours. The two teams suffered defeats against Croatia and France in the Semis, and are going to play their second match in the 2018 tournament. Earlier in the Group Stage, Belgium defeated England 1-0 with a goal by Adnan Januzaj.

The Saturday match will be officiated by Iranian referee Alireza Faghani and his assistants Reza Sokhandan and Mohammad-Reza Mansouri.
