US’ Coercive Diplomacy Doomed to Failure: Iran

Mohammad Baqer Nobakht says the US coercive strategy towards Iran since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 that brought down the US-backed regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi has produced no results.

Likewise, the strategy recently announced by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is also doomed to failure, he said, speaking in his weekly press conference on Tuesday.

Pointing to a 1980 attack by the US to rescue the US embassy staff taken hostage in Tehran that failed in Tabas Desert in central Iran, and the US’ veiled support for the Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980s, Nobakht said the US has failed to force a change in Iran’s behaviour.

“Could the US [economic sanctions] weaken the Islamic Republic? Could they weaken our economy? I recommend reading the reports by the International Monetary Fund describing Iran as the eighteenth economy across the globe,” he said, according to a report by Entekhab news website.

The spokesman was responding to earlier remarks by Pompeo, in which he threatened to impose the “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran that would ultimately destroy Iran’s economy, unless it capitulated to a series of 12 “basic requirements”.

The list not only urged Tehran to permanently shut down any nuclear-related programs, but also to give up its regional policy.

Pompeo said the US government was ready for talks with Iran based on the 12 requirements, aimed at reaching a new accord that would replace the 2015 nuclear deal.

US President Donald Trump on March 8 pulled the country out of the 2015 nuclear deal, which placed confidence-building curbs on Iran’s nuclear program in return for the removal of anti-Iran international sanctions.

Nobakht said the Iranian government will by no means enter into talks with the US again, as the US pullout of the nuclear deal proved Washington cannot be trusted with keeping its words.

“We won’t talk with those who do not deserve to negotiate with a country that has been faithful to its commitments,” he said.

Meisam Kouchakzadeh, a senior executive at the Department General of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism of Yazd, says the number of visitors to Yazd stood at well over 126,000 in the year to March 2018, up 11%, year on year.

“Most of the tourists were from France, Germany, Spain, Italy and China,” he noted, according to a report by IRNA.

Historical City of Yazd Inscribed as World Heritage Site

He recalled that Yazd was registered on UNESCO’s List of World Heritage Sites, saying, “This important issue will be instrumental in increasing the number of foreign tourists visiting Yazd.”

“Given that Yazd’s ancient quarter has been internationally registered and the objective is to increase the number of tourists, the tourism infrastructure in the province should be improved and the number of good accommodations should be raised,” he said.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee registered the historical city of Yazd on the List of World Heritage Sites on July 9, 2017.

Given that Yazd is a rich city in terms of ancient-cultural buildings, five of the historical monuments in the province have been globally registered so far.

The historical quarter of Yazd Province spans 2,270 hectares, housing 6,500 ancient monuments out of which 1,850 have been registered on the national list of heritage sites.

Dowlatabad and Pahlavanpur gardens as well as the Zarch Qanat are other world heritage sites located in Yazd Province.

Yazd, along with Fars and Isfahan provinces, forms the golden triangle of tourism in Iran. Yazd is the first destination of foreign tourists, and the number of visitors to the city has risen five-fold. So, tourism is the most significant contributor to the development of the province.

Iran’s Beauties in Photos: Lake Zrebar

Zrebar is one of the most beautiful fresh water lakes in the world. Interestingly enough, no river flows into the lake. Its water comes from a number of fountains and seasonal rains. The water on the surface of the lake is frozen in most days of winter.

Located in the Zagros Mountains within Kurdistan Province, Zrebar Lake is 1,285 metres above the sea level. It has a length of 5 km, a maximum width of 1.6 km and a maximum depth of 6 metres.

The lake is surrounded by mountains covered by forests of oaks. There are also trees of wild pears, hawthorn and almond.

There is a great deal of folklore about the origins of this lake amongst the Kurdish people of the area. They believe the lake is a mythical one, particularly because its water is supplied by itself, not through the flow of any river.

Zeribar Lake is a major tourist attraction in Western Iran. There is a four-star hotel near the lake which provides tourists with an area to camp and appropriate amenities as well as security. There are also restaurants serving Kurdish dishes and delicious including grilled fish.

Iran Agrees to Enhance Ties with World Intellectual Property Organization

The agreement was made in a recent meeting between Iran’s Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari and the Director General of the WIPO, Francis Gurry, in Tehran.

The two sides also agreed to hold some training courses on intellectual property in Iran, a report by ISNA said.

During the talks, Sattari referred to the capacities of creative human resources in Iran and said such resources serve as a pillar for knowledge- based economy in Iran.

He then pointed to the growing number of startups in Iran and said today good startups have emerged in Iran in the fields of IT and biotechnology with young generations playing a key role in their development.

For a brief review of Iran’s achievements in various fields of science and technology, check the book “Science and Technology in Iran: A Brief Review”

Sattari underlined that the registration of inventions by Iranian youths has increased dramatically over the past years and added Iran expects the WIPO to offer appropriate services to the Iranian inventors.

Gurry, for his part, said there is a growing demand for registering patents and said given the current trend, the need for more trained assessors to deal with the trend is gaining momentum.

“The issue of assessment is a complicated one. Therefore, part of the assessment process is carried out based on supply-demand mechanism,” he noted.

The WIPO Director General also praised Iranian startups and said the organization appreciates Iran’s hard efforts in this field.

Iran Rejects Pompeo’s Baseless, Interventionist Accusations

Iran Summons Swiss Envoy to Protest US Allegation of Meddling in Election

In a Monday statement, the Iranian foreign ministry said the cheap, baseless, insulting and interventionist remarks made by Mike Pompeo and the accusations he levelled against the great and civilized Iranian nation are indicative of US officials’ despair and desperation in the face of the Iranian nation.

According to the statement, Pompeo’s remarks are also regarded as a cowardly attempt to deflect the world public opinion from Washington’s illegal move (its unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA) and its breach of obligations under the nuclear deal, which is in contravention of international regulations and the UN resolution proposed by the US and adopted unanimously.

“Pompeo’s remarks once again revealed the poor intelligence, weak oversight, analytical backwardness and confusion in decision-making processes in the United States, and showed radical and hawkish currents in the US neither know history, nor can learn lessons from it,” said the statement.

“The American regime which, despite opposition by all countries in the world except a handful of small regimes, has reneged on all its political, legal and international obligations, is not in a position to set conditions for a major country like Iran, which has made good on its commitments,” the statement read.

“The American regime must know that the United States’ evasion of law and violation of its commitments not only will not create any rights for that regime (the US), but puts the international responsibility for the consequences of its breach of law on the shoulders of the officials of that regime as well as its corrupt and mafia-linked supporters both at home and abroad, and this is while a new scandal emerges every day before the world’s public opinion,” the statement noted.

It also said that the United States is not entitled to tell Iran what policies it should or should not adopt in its own region as all the problems facing the Middle East region, including those in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the occupied Palestine, Yemen and Afghanistan, all emanate from the interference and encroachment of Washington and the medieval dictatorial governments of its allies.

“An inherent feature of the United States’ colonialist regime is to support terrorism, especially state terrorism. Terror groups such Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the MKO, Jundallah and other Takfiri terrorist groups, which continue to survive with American taxpayers’ money and with the support of incompetent systems in the Middle East, will incontrovertibly be defeated, and the US government and its allies will be disgraced,” the statement read.

“The fathers of Al-Qaeda and hundreds of other terrorist groups which have jeopardized international peace and security, are not in a position to distort the Islamic Republic of Iran’s stabilizing and anti-terrorism measures in the region and in the whole world, and pursue its domineering illusions,” said the statement.

According to the statement, those plotting coups against legal governments, looting the riches of oppressed nations, massacring innocent and defenceless women and children, violating international agreements and resolutions, producing and using weapons of mass destruction, and violating the rights of humans and minorities and people of colour in their countries, are in no position to threaten independent nations that are standing to all these crimes with glory and honour.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is a system emanating from the Islamic Revolution of Iranian people, who have stood up to, and emerged victorious, in the face of all the wicked conspiracies of the US and its allies over the past four decades, and will continue to survive from now on and make the United States’ new plots go down in defeat,” read the statement.

“We advise the senior officials of the US, especially its secretary of state, to take lessons from the fate of the United States’ past policies vis-à-vis the Iranian nation, and stop its interventionist and failed measures and policies which are seemingly aimed at driving a wedge between Iranian people and the popular system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and not to bring more disgrace upon themselves in the court of the world public opinion,” the statement added.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects all the accusations and lies in this so-called new strategy, and regards the US secretary of state’s brazen remarks as gross interference in its domestic affairs and an illegal threat against a member of the United Nations, and reserves the right to take legal action.”

“The responsibility for any hit-and-run, illegal and bullying measure against the Iranian nation lies with the US government,” read the statement.

Pompeo in No Position to Set Conditions for Iran: Rouhani

“The Americans might be able to use threats to advance their interests under some circumstances, but it is not logical that they want to decide for the whole world,” the president said.

“Who you are to decide for Iran and the world and tell Iran what to do and what not to do regarding its nuclear technology?” said Rouhani, according to a transcript of his address to a gathering of academics and doctors in Tehran on Monday.

The president was responding to remarks by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in which he threatened to impose “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran that would ultimately destroy the country’s economy, unless it capitulated to a series of 12 “basic requirements”.

The list not only urged Tehran to permanently shut down any nuclear-related programs, but also to give up its regional policy.

Pompeo called on Iran to halt missile development, “release all US citizens,” withdraw from Syria, and cease support for groups which the US considers to be “terrorist,” namely Hezbollah, according to RT.

Rouhani said the remarks reminds one of the language used by the government led by George W. Bush, who was tough on Iran and called the county a member of “axis of evil”.

“The Americans experienced the [language] used by Bush and came to the conclusion that it was wrong and took steps to make up [for the mistake]. But now some people are repeating the same [mistake],” Rouhani said.

“The Iranian people have defied such [threats] and will continue to defy them and follow their path,” he said.

The incumbent US government has returned to gunboat diplomacy towards Iran, reviving the nearly forgotten US mantra that all options, including military ones, are on the table when it comes to Iran.

US President Donald Trump on March 8 pulled the country out of the 2015 nuclear deal, which was signed by his predecessor Barack Obama to place confidence-building curbs on Iran’s nuclear program in return for the removal of anti-Iran international sanctions.

European leaders have strongly condemned the US move, seeing it as undermining regional security and a direct attack on their economic interests.

Russia and China, two other parties to the agreement, have also criticized the US move and vowed to maintain trade with Iran.

Six Iranian Ministers, Two MPs Call for Unlocking Twitter

In a letter to Iran’s Prosecutor General, Six cabinet ministers and two lawmakers, members of the Committee of Determining Instances of Criminal Content, called for unlocking the social network.

The letter came in response to “the growing public demands for unlocking twitter to provide media professionals and young generations with an appropriate ground for cyber activities,” a report by the government’s website said.

In the letter, the officials called on the prosecutor to remove the ban on Twitter after raising and exploring the issue in the Committee of Determining Instances of Criminal Content.

The officials referred to some “logical and substantiated” reasons for removing the ban saying Twitter can turn into a ground for the media staff and youths to play their leading role in the society and have a louder voice in the international media arena.

The signatories of the letter are Communications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, Education Minister Mohammad Bathaee, Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi, Justice Minister Alireza Avayi, Science Minister Mansour Gholami, Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Abbas Salehi, Representative of Sabzevar in the Parliament, Ramezanali Sobhanifar and the Representative of Malayer in the Parliament Mohammad Kazemi.

The Committee of Determining Instances of Criminal Content has twelve members, and thus Twitter is expected to be unblocked with the positive vote of the signatories to the letter.

Although Twitter has been banned in Iran for several years, it is widely used in other ways, and many Iranian media outlets and officials are active on Twitter.
