Iran Not Threat to Any Country: President Rouhani

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Addressing a Wednesday cabinet meeting in Tehran, Rouhani noted that “Iran is a threat to no one. The Islamic Republic seeks stability and security in the whole region.”

However, he added, “it will defend its rights strongly.”

“Those who for 70 years have been fomenting chaos, war and destruction in the region and have committed genocide and caused the Sabra and Shatila [massacres], are not in a position to talk about Iran’s threat,” Rouhani said.

He was referring to the massacre of hundreds and perhaps thousands of civilians in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in southern Lebanon in 1982. Former Israeli premier Ariel Sharon, who at the time was Israel’s minister for military affairs, was commanding Israeli forces who had encircled the Sabra and Shatila camps while their allied forces were slaughtering the victims.

Rouhani’s comments came after Netanyahu described Iran as a danger and an aggressive empire in his address before the influential lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington Tuesday, a day after talks with US President Donald Trump.

“Darkness is descending on our region. Iran is building an aggressive empire,” AFP quoted him as saying.

“The force behind so much of what is bad is this radical tyranny in Iran. I have a message for you today, it’s a very simple one: we must stop Iran, we will stop Iran,” Netanyahu claimed.

Rouhani further noted that regional governments need not to be wary of Iran’s power.

“History tells that no one should be wary of Iran’s weapons, missiles or its defensive power,” he said.

“During the years after the [1979] revolution, we never assaulted other countries, while there were opportunities we could take if we were after hegemonism”.

The president said Iran develops its military might for deterrence, not attacking other countries.

“We never bombarded our neighbours … and not only we didn’t displace people from their lands, but we embraced refugees from other countries”, Rouhani said, referring to Iran’s warm welcome of Kuwaitis and Iraqis fleeing the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

The war came shortly after the end of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), during which Kuwait was a top sponsor of the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

“Iran [seeks] stability and security in the whole region. We want all regional countries to be on the path of growth”, he said.

British PM Urged to Condemn Saudis’ Crimes ahead of Bin Salman’s Visit

The British opposition Labour Party leader said Tuesday that May should tell Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that Britain would stop providing arms to Riyadh.

Bin Salman’s three-day visit will begin with a lunch with Queen Elizabeth on Wednesday.

His stay in the UK will include two audiences with the British Royal family, a briefing with national security officials, and a visit to the prime minister’s country residence.

“Theresa May should use this visit to announce the UK will no longer supply arms to Saudi Arabia while the devastating Saudi-led bombing of Yemen continues and make clear Britain’s strong opposition to widespread human and civil rights abuses in Saudi Arabia,” Corbyn said.

Saudi Arabia and its partners launched a war on Yemen in March 2015 to reinstall its former Riyadh-allied government. The military aggression has so far killed over 13,600 Yemenis.

The war is being led by bin Salman, also Saudi Arabia’s defense minister, with the help of the US and the UK.

May’s government has remained defiant in the face of growing pressure to stop arms exports to Saudi Arabia, defending the sales amid evidence of war crimes and civilian deaths in Yemen.

The UK has increased its weapons sales by around 500 percent since the onset of the Saudi invasion, according to a report by The Independent.

The UK has, so far, sold more than six billion pounds of arms to Saudi Arabia.

The weapons sold by Britain, which has also been providing logistical and arms support for the bombardment, include precision-guided bombs.

“Time and time again, UK ministers have turned a blind eye to Saudi Arabia’s atrocious human rights record – barely mentioning the country’s crackdown on peaceful opposition figures, or the alarming prevalence of torture, unfair trials and grisly executions,” Amnesty International UK’s Director, Kate Allen, has said.

US Using Dollar as Economic Weapon against Other Countries: Iran

Head of the Iranian Passive Defence Organization Brigadier General Gholam-Reza Jalali has touched upon the establishment of a headquarters for economic war at the US Treasury.
“In this headquarters, a strategy has been defined in different forms and based on sanctions, and they have tried to designate the dollar as the pivot of economic transaction. For example, when Mr. Kerry was speaking in favour of the approval of the JCPOA at the US Congress, he said if the US didn’t approve the JCPOA, its most important weapon, i.e. the dollar, would be eliminated,” said the official, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.

He said now the US Treasury and State Departments have focused their attentions on controlling the financial system of other countries.

He said the Americans’ strong point in the economic war is the use of the greenback.

“The Federal Reserve has officially announced that it has turned the dollar into a weapon in the economic war, and controls it through SWIFT,” he said.

The official then noted that Iran will probably get involved in an economic war.

“When the issue came up, two viewpoints emerged about it. One view regarded the outbreak of an economic war as likely, and the other was an optimistic viewpoint that maintained such a thing wouldn’t happen,” said the official.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said the emergence of crypto-currencies is a major change in the monetary and banking system.

“In this system, there will be money laundering, financial offences and tax evasion due to a lack of supervision,” he said.

“Security challenges are the most important issue which will surface with the expansion of the electronic monetary system, and cyberspace will turn into a heaven for hackers, and no state body will be able to compensate for the losses and harm caused by that,” he said.

Iranian Midfielder Shojaei Closer to National Team More than Ever

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Shojaei, who plays for the Greek club AEK Athens FC, was left out of the coach Carlos Queiroz’s team after violating an undeclared law in Iran which bans all Iranian athletes from playing against Israeli rivals.

Now the presence of Queiroz in Greece has sparked speculations about the return of Shojaei to the national football team, a Farsi report by Khabar Online said.

Queiroz’s Facebook post about Shojaei has also contributed to the speculations. In his post after watching directly the AEK and Olympiacos match in Greece, the coach wrote: Good job Masoud! You are the top player of Greece Super League.”

It seems Quiroz has good reasons to once again invite Shojaei to his team.

Nottingham Forest’s Ashkan Dejagah has undergone surgery on an injury and is understood to be facing up to two months on the sidelines. On the other hand, the 24-year-old Saman Ghoddos playing for Östersunds FK in the Swedish Allsvenskan is too young and has not yet managed to settle in the national team.

Today given the ongoing dispute in Iran’s wrestling federation over forcing athletes to forfeit matches against Israeli opponents, it seems Queiroz will face no strict opposition for inviting Shojaei to the national team.

Iran does not recognize Israel and forbids its athletes from competing against Israelis at international sports events.

In several interviews following his ban, Shojaei underlined that he was forced to play against the Israeli club.

Now eight months after being left out of Queiroz’s squad, Shojaei has become too popular among the Iranians and his return to the national team has turned into a public demand.

If invited to the national team, Shojaei would set a historical record because he will be the first Iranian football player who has appeared in world cups for three times.

Shojaei, 33, has represented the national Iranian football team over 70 times, including at World Cups and Asian Cups.

Top of Group A in Asia, Iran has already qualified for next year’s finals in Russia.

Iran FM Says Israeli Occupation Won’t Last Long

Zarif made the remarks via his official twitter account late on Tuesday in response to claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said Iran is responsible for “darkness descending” on the Middle East.

“Despite Netanyahu’s claims, the fact is that illegal occupation lies at the heart of most of the calamities in our region. Historically, occupying another’s land has never been sustainable. This occupation, too –and the apartheid system that perpetuates it– will not last long,” tweeted Zarif.

Earlier in the day, Netanyahu alleged that Iran is increasing its influence in the Middle East and seeks to dominate regional countries such as Syria and Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq.

“Iran is building an aggressive empire. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, more to come,” he said in Washington on Tuesday while addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

He also claimed nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), had made Tehran’s nuclear program more dangerous.

Netanyahu also hailed the US administration’s threat to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal, describing the agreement as a great threat to peace in the region. He claimed that Tehran is seeking to develop nuclear missiles.

Iran and the P5+1 countries – namely the US, Russia, China, France and Britain plus Germany – finalized the nuclear accord in July 2015 and started implementing it in January 2016. Under the deal, Iran undertook to apply certain limits to its nuclear program in exchange for the termination of all nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran.

Iranian Diplomat, UN Envoy Discuss Syria Peace in Geneva

The Iranian diplomat, who arrived in the Swiss city on Monday, discussed the latest developments in Syria Peace Talks with Russia’s Sergei Vershinin and Turkey’s Sedat Önal. He also held negotiations with UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.

During the bilateral, trilateral, and quadrilateral meetings, which lasted from 10 am to 6 pm on Tuesday, the parties focused on the process of restoring peace and tranquility to Syria, and exchanged views on the results of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi as well as the forthcoming Astana Talks on Syria which is going to be held at the ministerial level between the three guarantor states.

The Iranian, Turkish, and Russian delegations and the UN special envoy for Syria further agreed that these quadrilateral talks continue to follow up on the outcome of the Astana Talks and the approvals of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi so as to consolidate the constructive link between the Astana and Geneva negotiations.

Before his trip to Switzerland, Jaberi Ansari spent some time in Syria and held talks with high-ranking officials of the Arab country including President Bashar al-Assad.

Jaberi Ansari, who is Iran’s top negotiator at Syria Peace Talks, routinely holds talks with the envoys of Syria, Turkey, Russia, and the UN on the ways to find a resolution to the Syrian crisis. The latest round of such talks was held in Russia’s Sochi.

Iran’s Larijani Plants Olive Sapling as Sign of Peace on Arbour Day

In a ceremony to mark the Arbour Day on March 6, Larijani planted the olive sapling as a symbol of peace and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

According to a Farsi report by ICANA, ambassadors of foreign countries, including Palestine, Syria, Australia, Algeria, Libya, Greece and Armenia, attended the ceremony.

Here are the photos of the ceremony retrieved from ICANA:

Earlier in the day, Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also planted some saplings to mark the day.

Every year, just before the Iranian New Year, millions of Iranians plant trees to mark the Natural Resources Week and hail the arrival of spring.

Iranian Lawmakers Advocate for Women’s Greater Social Participation

The incumbent parliament has seen a surge in efforts to defend women’s role in the society, resulting from their unprecedented presence in the legislative body.

Women occupy 17 seats in this parliament, their highest number since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Activists hope the greater number of women in the parliament would positively affect women’s rights.

Soheila Jolodarzadeh, a veteran lawmaker affiliated to the reformist camp, says greater social participation of woman will help the society to develop faster, as they possess unique characteristics that makes them a perfect fit for some type of jobs.

“Today, more and more women have stepped outside their traditional roles to have more participation in the society,” she told the Persian-language IRNA on Monday.

Jolodarzadeh said women’s great patience and their superior skill in forming relationships with people makes them fit for various positions, particularly in the world of politics.

“Despite [considerable] opposition to the participation of woman in politics, [I believe] they are well capable of undertaking activities in this field,” she said.

 

More Employed Women Means Greater Health

Parvaneh Salahshouri, another parliamentarian affiliated with the reformist bloc, says greater participation of woman in the country’s workforce could enhance the levels of health and education among Iranian families.

Moreover, employed women could also bring up more successful children, as their work experience enables them to better handle family affairs and teach their children to be independent and responsible, she said.

Salahshouri, who heads the parliament’s women faction, said they have undertaken several measures to encourage women’s social participation, including proposing plans to provide female entrepreneurs with facilities for creating home jobs.

Although the gender gap in education has been bridged and women have a significant presence in schools and universities, their share in the job market is still small.

Iranian women’s participation rate in labour force is one of the lowest ones compared to many other countries.

Statistics show that participation of women in the labour market rose steadily in the 1997-2005 period, from 10% to 17%.

However, the rate declined in the 2005-2013 period, from 17% to 10%, under the two terms of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

But since 2013, when President Hassan Rouhani came to power, the rate has been growing.

According to a report published by the research centre of the Iranian Parliament on December 20, 2017, the participation rates of men and women labour force in the fiscal year 2016-17 were 64% and 14.9%, respectively.

32 Killed after Russian Transport Plane Crashes in Syria’s Latakia

The incident took place at 3 pm on Tuesday when landing, according to the Russian ministry of defence. The plane hit the ground 500 meters short of the runway.

A technical malfunction was behind the crash, the ministry said, adding that the aircraft was not attacked.

An investigation into the incident is underway, Sputnik reported

This is not the first time that an An-26 has crashed in Syria. In January 2015, an aircraft operated by the Syrian armed forces crashed while landing at the besieged Abu al-Duhur military airport in the Idlib Governorate.

An-26 is a military transport aircraft, capable of carrying up to 38 people excluding the crew, and some 5,500 kilograms in cargo.
