In a congratulatory letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel over her re-election for fourth term, Rouhani said the long-time, friendly and constructive ties between Iran and Germany have provided the two sides with an appropriate opportunity to further expand their mutual cooperation.

The Iranian president appreciated Germany’s constructive and effective role during the JCPOA talks, and called on Berlin to continue playing such a role to completely and successfully implement the nuclear deal and prevent illegitimate excessive demands by other sides.

Rouhani also added Iran expects to witness the development of bilateral ties between Iran and Germany based on reciprocal respect and mutual interests.

He referred to the growing global threats in such fields as environment, terrorism, regional crises and unilateralism and said the two sides can exert joint efforts at regional and international level to cope with the problems.

The Iranian president finally wished hope and success for the German government and nation.

Bruised by half a year of post-election coalition haggling, Merkel was elected last week by parliament to her fourth and likely final term at the helm of Europe’s biggest economy.

Lawmakers in Berlin’s parliament voted 364-315 with nine abstentions for Merkel.

Iran-Russia

Nosratollah TajikNosratollah Tajik, a former Iranian ambassador to Jordan, in an opinion piece published by the Persian-language newspaper Setareh Sobh, has weighed in on the latest developments in Russia and Tehran-Moscow ties.

He says the only open way for Russia to further develop its foreign policy is the south, which is the path to Kremlin’s strategic development.

“Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey and the Middle East lie on that path,” Tajik noted, adding that Iran can and should play a key role in that regard.

By playing that role, he added, the Islamic Republic “will be able to channel its investments towards solving the country’s domestic problems by tapping into Russia’s effective investment potential and by minimizing regional tensions between rival powers.

“Russia has begun a new era. It seems the polar bear has woken up once more, and we should turn the bear’s roars into opportunities and further stabilize our position in regional and international equations.”

“Iran can to use the developments unfolding in Russia as an opportunity, so that we will not serve as a punching bag for others in the world any more, and at the same time will begin to further organize our foreign policy and international relations at the turn of the Persian New Year (beginning March 21),” he added.

The report says the share of Persian language has been increased from 0.6% to 1.8% between 2011 and 2017, becoming the 11th most widely-used language on the Internet in recent years.

According to the report, Farsi stands one rank higher than Turkish and five ranks higher than Arabic.

Growth in the share of Farsi content on the Internet is among goals of the national information network, a project launched by the Iranian government to develop a secure and stable infrastructure network in Iran.

BBC Persian Meddling in Iran’s Affairs: Russia Envoy

Speaking in an interview with IRNA on Sunday at the Russian Embassy in Tehran, Jagarian said the Kremlin condemns the BBC’s interference.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has blocked the channel’s website because it encourages illegal rallies and manipulates the Iranian people against the Establishment, a claim which the BBC has denied.

During the Sunday interview, which was held on the fringes of Russia’s presidential election, the Russian ambassador also referred to the UK’s accusation that Russia was involved in the poisoning of a former Russian double agent in Britain.

The top diplomat noted Russia has announced time and again that it has had no interference in Britain’s affairs, nor has it had any motivation to do so.

He dismissed London’s accusation as baseless, saying his country favours good relations with Britain, the US and other countries.

Jagarian said there is no evidence that suggests Russia’s involvement in the poisoning case. According to the top diplomat, the Kremlin has warned London of a firm response if the UK insists on its hostile approach toward Russia.

He then touched upon the West and Washington’s interference in Russia’s election. He said the American daily The New York Times confessed recently that the US has meddled in the internal affairs of other countries on numerous occasions. He said the US even orchestrated a coup back in 1953 against then Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq.

The Russian diplomat said several governments in Latin America were also toppled by the US.

He said Washington interferes in the domestic affairs of Iran, Russia and other countries, and at the same time accuses other states of interference without presenting any evidence.

Iran Will Never Compromise National Interests: Rouhani

In comments made Sunday at the final weekly Cabinet session of the current year, Rouhani said his administration would keep efforts to strengthen regional security and stability in the new year.

Hoping for positive measures for peace and stability in the coming year, the president said Iran would “vigorously” pursue its policy of constructive interaction with the world “irrespective of the demands of the US, ill-wishers of the Iranian nation, and one or two small countries in the region.”

“We will never back off from national interests and will keep safeguarding national security and interests,” he added.

Rouhani also pointed to the country’s outstanding political achievements in the current Iranian year, saying the world rejected accusations that Iran had failed to honor its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the main entity entitled to verify nuclear commitments, has certified in all of its reports that Iran has fully carried out undertakings under the JCPOA, the nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), he added.

The president also hailed the fall of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group as a major achievement for humanity, paying tribute to those contributing to the fight against terrorism.

During the current Iranian year, which is going to end in two days, Rouhani won a second term in the May presidential election.

The Iranian president maintains that his administration’s foreign policy is based on constructive interaction with the world while it sticks to the country’s red lines.

According to the Seismological Center of the Institute of Geophysics of Tehran University, the temblor struck the port city of Bandar Rig in Bushehr Province at around 8 a.m. (local time) on Monday.

Data from the seismological center showed the location of the quake as 29 km from Bandar Rig and with a depth of 11 km.

The quake has caused widespread panic among the locals but fortunately, no reports of casualties have been reported yet, according to Tasnim dispatches.

Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society (IRCS) of the Bushehr Province said teams from the IRCS are present at the scene.

Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90% of the country. As a result, earthquakes in Iran occur often and are destructive.

On November 12, the western province of Kermanshah was hit by a major 7.3-magnitude quake that killed 620 people according to the latest toll.

Putin Re-Elected as Russia’s President in Landslide Victory

By

From the Arctic to the International Space Station, Russia rolled out an elaborate election-day display designed to show the breadth of Putin’s public support as he extended his tenure for a fourth term to 2024.

Putin’s opponents on Sunday’s ballot included a nationalist, a Communist and two liberals. But Putin barely campaigned, opposition activist Alexei Navalny was barred from the ballot, and reports of ballot-stuffing and people being ordered to vote by their employers rolled in throughout the day.

With about two-thirds of the ballots counted, more than 75 percent were for Putin, according to the Central Election Commission. The runner-up was Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin, with 12.7 percent.

“Success awaits us!” Putin told supporters in central Moscow. “Together, we will get to work on a great, massive scale, in the name of Russia.”

Although Putin’s victory is highly likely, the battle for second place remains a subject of speculation, with veteran politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky going neck and neck with Grudinin, a newcomer to the world of high Russian politics who was advanced by the Russian Communist Party (KPRF).

The biggest question as Russians went to the polls on Sunday was the level of turnout, and uncertainty on the final tally lingered into the night in Moscow. While independent surveys show that most Russians continue to approve of Putin as president, a lack of suspense or popular opposition candidates threatened to keep people home.
