Iran Condemns Bahrain’s Plan to Normalize Relations with Israel

In a Wednesday statement, Qassemi denounced the twin car blasts, and offered condolences to the families of the victims.

“Global consensus and cooperation is needed to launch a serious and overarching campaign against unbridled terrorism, which, even after suffering ignominious defeats in the region, continues to kill people as part of its violence and evil deeds,” he noted.

At least 33 people were killed and dozens more wounded in the twin car bomb attack in Benghazi. An explosives-laden vehicle went off in front of a mosque in the neighbourhood of al-Salmani as worshippers were leaving evening prayers. Minutes later, another car blew up in the same area causing more casualties among security forces and civilians.

The money will be spent on tackling dust pollution in Khuzestan, boosting the country’s defensive capabilities, promoting under pressure irrigation, among others.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s Monday interview with the state TV also remained a top story today in several newspapers.

Many papers also covered the remarks made by Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani about Tehran’s opposition to any talks over its missile program.

Thousands in Switzerland March to Protest at Trump’s Visit (+Video)

Leftists organizers called for the protests under the mottos “Trump Not Welcome” and “Smash WEF!”

Protesters held placards which read, ‘Who was shit hole?’, ‘Not Welcome – Tuck Frump’, and ‘Women rise up against Trump, against rape, against sexism’.

One of the protesters said, “I wished that he [Donald Trump] is not welcome here from the state, because he is the epitome of everything that is disgusting with capitalism.”

Trump is due to speak on Friday at the WEF in the Alpine town of Davos, an annual meeting of global business and political leaders where protests have been banned, Reuters reported.

The demo held on Tuesday night also denounced Turkey’s recent military involvement in northern Syria.

The protesters carried placards that ‘Putin finances, Erdogan bombs’.

The protesters set off flares, smoke bombs and fireworks throughout the protest. Police in riot gear and a water cannon truck were deployed, but did not intervene despite damage to buildings.

Similar protests were held in the Swiss cities of Geneva, Bern and Lausanne as well as in the German cities of Freiburg and Nuremburg.

Iran Dismisses US VP Pence’s False Accusations

In a statement on Wednesday, Qassemi said, “The Iranian nation has, for decades, tasted the US-style relationship and friendship [which have been coupled] with different types of malignancy and unjust moves.”

Qassemi said these moves include coups, plots to topple the national and legal government, capitulation, support for dictators, backing for Saddam in attacking the Iranian territory and using chemical weapons against defenceless people in some Iranian cities, shooting down an Iranian passenger plane over the Persian Gulf and conferring a medal of honour upon the commander of the American warship which attacked the civilian aircraft.”

According to the statement, other instances of such hostile moves include calling Iranians a terrorist nation, imposing unfair sanctions [on Iran] for years, using a fabricated name to refer to ‘Persian Gulf,’ sabotaging [efforts] and seeking unwarranted and irrelevant pretexts in fulfilling their commitments under the JCPOA and trying to prevent the Iranian nation from benefiting from the advantages of this international deal.”

Therefore, Qassemi noted, the US officials’ hollow and already-tested promises are of no value to the Iranian nation.

He underlined that deceitful and unfair comments made by the US vice president are not true, and that Iran has never sought nukes.

Qassemi said the JCPOA truly enlightened world countries and people about the lies that Washington has been telling for years.

“The US official was expected to have found out by now that Iran’s role in fighting terrorism and standing by the Iraqi and Syrian governments and nations was the key element that thwarted the plot hatched by some transregional countries and their regional allies with the help of extremist violent terrorists against the people and independent governments in this region,” said the spokesman.

He added that Washington’s relentless and futile attempts to fabricate false threats in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East are merely aimed at destabilizing the region to serve the Israeli regime’s wicked and long-term objectives, keeping Muslim nations from remaining united against Tel Aviv, and securing their own illegitimate economic interests by selling huge amounts of weaponry to regional countries.

Twin Car Blasts outside Benghazi Mosque Kill 33 (+Video)

The first explosion struck outside a mosque in the eastern city of Benghazi, in the central Al Salmani district, at around 8.20pm as worshippers were leaving evening prayers.

Around 10 to 15 minutes later, after security and health officials had arrived on the scene, a second more powerful blast was detonated from a Mercedes parked on the opposite side of the street.

The second blast also hit an ambulance and caused a higher number of casualties than the first, The Independent reported.

The victims include both military personnel and civilians, with health officials saying the death toll could rise because some of the wounded are in critical conditions.

Iran Calls for Formation of Anti-Terror Coalition with Iraq, Pakistan

Speaking to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on Monday night, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi highlighted the US threats against the region and said Washington created the Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist group.

He added that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and even Qatar provided financial and arms support for the terror group and Turkey and Jordan provided training for terrorists.

However, the commander said, the Daesh collapsed and the US faced failure in its plots to undermine the anti-Israeli Axis of Resistance.

He further emphasized that the US is seeking to fan the flames of conflicts in the West Asia region to serve its political, economic and military interests.

Major General Rahim Safavi said Iran plans to stand against the US-led coalition and terrorist groups in the region through forming a coalition with Pakistan and Iraq.

The self-proclaimed caliphate of Daesh collapsed in Syria and Iraq after Syrian forces and their allies managed to recapture Al-Bukamal, the terror group’s last stronghold.

In recent years, the Middle East region has been plagued with Takfiri terrorist groups like Daesh, which are believed to have been created and supported by the West and some regional Arab countries.

The terrorist groups, which claim to be Islamic but whose actions are anything but, have been committing heinous crimes not only against non-Muslims but mostly against Muslims in the region.

Iraq and Syria are among the countries gripped by terrorism.

Iran, a close ally of the two countries, has supported their legitimate governments in their campaign against foreign-backed militancy and terrorism.

$100m for the reconstruction of quake-hit and flood-stricken areas

$100m for pneumococcal vaccine and rotavirus vaccine (child infections)

Don’t Let Rude French FM Enter Iran: Conservative Daily

By
IFP Editorial Staff

In an editorial piece on Tuesday, the conservative daily newspaper Kayhan wrote:

If Iranian officials feel the reason Iran has adopted a passive stance vis-à-vis Paris’ impudence and is offering unique and unilateral concessions to France is that Tehran is beholden to French authorities, well, they (Iranian officials) should either make it clear why the Islamic Republic is indebted to France, or stop rolling out the red carpet for Jean-Yves Le Drian, the rude French foreign minister, and not allow him to enter Iran.

In brazen comments, the French minister told Le Figaro that France has held talks with Iran on the issue of ballistic missiles as well as regional issues, but that Paris also would like to hold talks on Iran’s “destructive” military influence in the region as well as its financial support for Hezbollah and Yemeni Houthis, and “that’s why I’m going to Iran on March 5.”

He has also claimed that the Iran nuclear deal prevents Tehran from developing atomic weapons, something that, in his words, could have had catastrophic consequences for regional balance. The top French diplomat said giving assurances means there should be a framework for Iran’s ballistic missiles, and, as he said, this is the same thing required by UN Security Council Resolution 2231. He noted if Iran wants to return to the international community, it should cooperate on the issues just mentioned. Otherwise, the foreign minister claimed, Iran will, logically enough, always be suspected of developing nuclear weapons.

Earlier, too, he had talked about his upcoming trip to Iran with the same rude and insulting tone. He said in a meeting with his US counterpart Rex Tillerson that if Iran’s missiles prove to be dangerous, separate sanctions must be imposed on the country.

He claimed there are three issues as far as Iran is concerned: talks on nuclear issues, Tehran’s ballistic missiles and Iran’s desire for domination over the whole region!

The Iranian Foreign Ministry was expected to show a firm reaction to Le Drian’s rude remarks and France’s interference in Tehran’s policies, which is an example of seeking concessions in return for political and trade ties. However, the ministry, which had recently issued an inflammatory and strongly-worded statement against Iranians who are critical of the Iran nuclear deal, settled for denying the French foreign minister’s allegations and accusations against Tehran. The ministry also stressed that Iran has not had, and will not have negotiations with any country on its defense and missile programs.

By reviewing Paris’ positions against Iran, we can understand that France, Britain and Germany have entered into a full-scale deal with the US over the Iran nuclear deal.

“Public Discontent, Distrust among Root Causes of Iran Protests”

By

The report, which was prepared and sent to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani based on his order, has quoted the following reasons as the root causes of the recent protests in Iran:

  • Public dissatisfaction and a decrease in people’s trust caused by the incompetence and failure of state bodies to improve the current situation of society
  • Wrong management of public opinion, increased demands and expectations, both in election campaigns and political rivalries, without taking into account the country’s resources, and an ensuing accumulation of unrealized expectations and public dissatisfaction
  • Continued activities of Iran’s foreign enemies, including the US and its regional mercenaries, as well as the counter-revolutionary groups (MKO)

ISNA in a Farsi report has quoted Deputy Interior Minister Hossein Zolfaqari as saying that the report is based on specialized data collection and valid information.

He said that the report has been compiled independently from personal perceptions and the interests of political currents.

“Basically, in describing and explaining such events, the interference of such orientations leads to miscalculations and ultimately does not have a positive outcome for the country.”

Zolfaqari added that the loyalty of the people to the Islamic Revolution and its goals and aspirations, as well as the importance of the stability and tranquility of the country besides the concerns of the people for the country’s security led to spontaneous reaction of the nation, and the enemies, who sought to create armed conflict in the country, failed in implementing their plots.

“59% of the protesters were high school students or graduates, 14% had bachelor’s degree and one percent were with higher qualifications while the education level of 16% of the protesters is not exactly known. Moreover, 84% of these protesters were under the age of 35 without any police record,” noted Zolfaqari.

Referring to the lack of adequate accountability of administrative procedures in the various departments and institutions that are responsible for current affairs of the people, and the problematic nature of unnecessary administrative bureaucracy, the deputy interior minister warned if such structural defects would not be resolved with effective measures, it cannot be expected to see the grievances decrease.

Earlier this month, Iran witnessed peaceful protests against the price hikes and the overall economic condition of the country. However, limited numbers of violent individuals, some of them armed, sought to turn the peaceful protests into street riots. Mindful of how the violent individuals sought to hijack the peaceful rallies, the original protesters soon heeded calls by authorities to leave the streets.

According to officials, some rioters used shotguns and pistols to attack police and fire at the crowds of protesters. While sporadic violence continued for several days and claimed the lives of at least 25 people.
