Iran FM Rejects Trump’s Comments on Syria Chemical Attack

By
IFP Media Wire
-

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Brazil early Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rejected US President Donald Trump’s allegation that Iran may have had a role in a Saturday chemical attack on Syrian civilians.

Iran has always taken a “very clear stance” against the use of chemical weapons by anybody or against anybody, Zarif underlined.

His comments came after Trump said Monday he would make a decision on the US response to what he called an “atrocious” chemical weapons attack on Syrians, saying, “If it’s Russia, if it’s Syria, if it’s Iran, if it’s all of them together, we’ll figure it out and we’ll know the answers quite soon.”

In response, the top Iranian diplomat described Trump’s comments as part of a pretext for interference in Syria, saying the US and the Zionist regime of Israel seek to raise morale of the terrorists they are supporting in Syria.

Pointing to the successive defeats that the US and Israeli-backed militants are suffering in Syria, Zarif described Israel’s recent strikes on a Syrian air base as part of efforts to make up for those defeats.

“There is hard evidence that the US is transferring Daesh (ISIL) terrorists to the other regions (of Syria) to take advantage of its very dangerous investment in Syria,” Zarif deplored.

The Iranian minister finally warned against the dire consequences of America’s Syria policy for the regional and international peace and security, and even for Washington itself.

A Saturday chemical attack in Douma, the last terrorist-held stronghold near Damascus, killed at least 70 people and affected hundreds.

The Syrian government and Russia have vehemently denied involvement in the attack, saying rebels in Douma have fabricated the claims in order to hinder the army’s advances and provoke international military intervention.

In his Monday meeting with President Macky Sall, which was also attended by Senegal’s ministers of finance and foreign affairs, Zarif touched upon the importance of mutual cooperation in various areas.

He also called for closer banking relations between the two countries, further facilitating the issuance of visas for Iranians, especially businessmen and entrepreneurs, the approval of an agreement on avoidance of double taxation at Senegal’s parliament and the renewal of tax exemption for Iranian companies operating in Senegal.

The top Iranian diplomat also underlined the importance of enhancing cooperation between the two countries in the oil and gas sector as well as new technologies, including nanotechnology and biotechnology.

The Senegalese president, in turn, stressed the importance of addressing the issues highlighted by Zarif, and said his country would like to draw on Iran’s experience in the oil and gas sector.

Also on the agenda of the talks were regional issues, including the developments in Syria and Yemen.

No Military Solution to Syria, Yemen Crises

Zarif on Monday also held a meeting with the Senegalese Parliament Speaker Moustapha Nias. During the talks, the top Iranian diplomat said the Islamic Republic of Iran has, from the outset, believed that the crises in Syria and Yemen have no military solution.

He also underlined that the problems facing the world of Islam should be settled through dialogue.

Zarif further touched upon the numerous commonalities between Iran and Senegal. He called on both sides to work together closely to fight extremism and restore the rights of Palestinian people, especially under the current circumstance in which the Israeli regime has stepped up its atrocities against Palestinians.

The top Senegalese parliamentarian, in turn, referred to his trip to Tehran last year where he saw for himself Iran’s progress in different areas. He said his country needs to draw on Iran’s potential and capabilities for training in different areas.

Zarif, who is on a four-nation tour, left Dakar on Monday night and arrived in the Brazilian capital, where he is going to hold talks with top officials from the Latin American state.

Speaking to reporters after arriving in Brazil, Zarif described the Latin American country as one the world’s major economies, the main economy in South America, and also a BRICS member.

Hailing Iran’s economic interaction with Brazil, Zarif said the trade ties are mostly limited to the import of agricultural products from the Latin American nation, while there are ample opportunities available in the oil and gas industries.

Iran was a supplier of energy to Brazil in the past, and there are still possibilities for cooperation in that field, he added, according to Tasnim.

Praising Brazil’s technological advances, Zarif said the two countries could play complementary roles in that sector.

He also expressed the hope that his meetings in Brazil would enhance cooperation between the private sectors of the two countries.

The four-nation tour will later take Zarif to Uruguay and Namibia.

In this trip, the Iranian top diplomat is being accompanied by a high-ranking politico-economic delegation including several representatives of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.

Reverse painting on glass is an art form consisting of applying paint to a piece of glass and then viewing the image by turning the glass over and looking through the glass at the image.

The art form was introduced to Iran in the Safavid era from Eastern Europe, India, and China.

The glass painting museum is part of an old building in central Tehran (Hedayat Street) dating back to about 100 years ago. Specifically focused on this particular type of art, the museum is home to a large collection of Iranian glass paintings.

What follows are photos of the museum retrieved from ISNA and Tehran Picture Agency:

Kitaro says while composing the music of Silk Road documentary, he developed an interest in the Iranian folk music.

“By listening to the music, I became interested in the music and culture of Iran. I’ve also learned a lot from the country’s folk music,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by ISNA.

Kitaro made the statements ahead of his second concert in Iran slated for May 6 to 8 at Interior Ministry’s Great Hall in Tehran.

He went on to say “about 28 years ago, I composed a piece of music named Kojiki with the main theme of the whole existence. While making the piece, I took advantage of the guidance of Professor Kazunari Shibata who is a leading expert in the solar system. The piece contains some concepts which can be realized only through indulging oneself in it. I will perform the piece during my Tehran concert.”

Kitaro referred to the warm welcome that his Silk Road Album has received in Iran and said, “I’m very proud to see that Iranian people love the music. Hereby, I express my deep gratitude to the Iranian culture because to compose the music, I drew on the rich culture of the region.”

He also said the Silk Road music builds on the Iranian art and added “I will also perform the music during my May concert in Tehran.”

The Japanese musician underlined that he has listened to the music of many Iranian musicians and added Iran is home to a rich collection of music.

“There are many nations which have their own music. I’ve always paid respect to each nation living in a special geography. I try to communicate with each nation and culture through music,” he noted.

Kitaro held his first set of concerts in Tehran in 2014 for four nights at the same venue, where he performed new age music and was warmly received.

According to the music producer and manager Ali Cheragh-Ali, in the upcoming concerts Kitaro will perform a different repertoire compared to his last performance in Iran.

Iran Gov’t Steps in to Control Forex Market

Jahangiri made the announcement on Monday night following an emergency meeting of the government’s economic taskforce headed by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

The first vice president said that as of Tuesday the price of the dollar would be 42,000 Rials in both markets, and for all manner of activities.

He added that dollar sales at any other price would be considered fraud.

On Sunday, Iran’s national currency the Rial plunged above 6 percent against the US dollar in free market.

Commercial bankers previously linked the Rial’s slide partly to seasonal demand for US dollars, which rises around the end of the Persian year (March 21) when many Iranians travel abroad.

However, some now believe that US President Donald Trump’s hostile rhetoric, including his recent threat to scrap a landmark nuclear deal with Iran, has been effective in the deterioration of the Rial’s depreciation.

He said Iran stands ready to share with Senegal its experience in the field of nanotechnology development, including the holding of joint expert courses on nanotechnology, the establishment of nano-labs by Iran and implementation of projects on how to utilize nanotechnology, namely in the fields of agriculture and water purification.

The Senegalese science minister, in turn, welcomed Iran’s proposals and said Senegal, given its young population and need for job creation for educated people, is making an overhaul in its universities and is also developing technology.

Accordingly, said the minister, a “City of Knowledge” comprising a complex for different technologies is under construction.

He said Senegal plays a key role in Africa’s technological development. Senegal’s president heads the Science and Technology Development Department of the African Union.

The minister added his country is developing virtual universities across the nation to provide more opportunity for the education of the youth. Senegal is also establishing some 100 laboratories throughout the country.

The minister said his country welcomes Iran’s assistance to develop laboratories and embraces Iranian professors to teach nanotechnology courses at the postgraduate level both in class and via videoconference.

In a Monday meeting with Russia’s State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin in Tehran, Rouhani underlined that the two sides’ parliaments can play a leading role in strengthening bilateral, regional and international relations between Iran and Russia.

“Our bilateral, regional and international relations have been unique over the past decades and today we are witnessing friendly and enhanced ties between Iran and Russia,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by the President’s official website.

He said during his last 12 meetings with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over the past years, “we have taken a step further during each meeting towards strengthening our relations in all fields.”

He called for taking advantages of all the available capacities for expansion of ties between Tehran and Moscow and said there are a number of untapped areas in which the two sides can promote their ties.

“Areas like peaceful energies, oil and gas and other economic fields including banking and trade relations are filled with good capacities which Iran and Russia can take advantage of to meet further their national interests,” he noted.

He called the multilateral relations between Iran and Russia and other regional states ‘highly valuable’ and said the two sides’ relations have been very constructive when it comes to Syria and regional peace and security.

President Rouhani underlined that Iran and Russia have similar stances towards international issues and added, doubtlessly certain Western countries are seeking to put Russia in trouble under ‘false pretexts.’

“Iran is facing similar troubles in the region,” he added, saying to tackle the troubles, the two sides need to establish closer cooperation in international issues.

Rouhani said Iran-Russia bilateral, regional and international cooperation will end up finally in the interests of the two nations and expressed the strong will of his government to establish all-out relations with Russia.

He said Iran’s parliament supports the strengthening of relations and added the two sides’ parliaments can play a leading role in expansion of ties.

For his part, Volodin said the growing ties between Iran and Russia are due to the good decisions made by the two sides’ presidents and added Russia’s parliament throws its weight behind any legal efforts and measures that pave the way for further expansion of ties.

He pointed out that Iran and Russia face common regional and international challenges, saying the two sides are determined more than ever to tackle the challenges through establishing closer cooperation and developing a common roadmap.
