Iran Says Russian Experts to Visit Fordow Enrichment Centre

Behrouz Kamalvandi, who is the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said on Thursday that Tehran and Moscow reached a deal on stable isotopes about a year ago.

Different Iranian delegates traveled to Russia and Russian experts visited Iran, he added.

“Today, we are at the stage of installing some equipment and Russian experts will arrive in Iran on Sunday to begin the installation work,” Kamalvandi said, noting that the project will probably begin on Sunday or the following day.

Earlier on Thursday, the AP quoted Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency as saying that Russian technical specialists were set to arrive this week at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano said last January that Iran had removed “excess centrifuges and infrastructure” from the Fordow enrichment facility in line with its commitments under the 2015 nuclear agreement.

Amano made the comment in a statement issued on the first anniversary of the implementation of the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.

Iran and the P5+1 countries — namely the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany —  reached a nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in July 2015 and started implementing it in January 2016.

Under the accord, Iran undertook to apply certain limits to its nuclear program in exchange for the termination of all nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is the official institution to verify Iranian compliance, has consistently confirmed the Islamic Republic’s commitment to its contractual obligations.

However, US President Donald Trump is opposed to the JCPOA, which was negotiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama, and warned that he might ultimately “terminate” it.

Last month, Trump extended waivers of key economic sanctions on Iran, lifted under the nuclear agreement, for another 120 days but said he was doing so “for the last time.”

He further called on European allies and US Congress to work with him to “fix the disastrous flaws” in the pact or face a US exit.

Rouhani Visits Quake-Hit Areas in Southeast, Promises Reconstruction

In the second day of his visit to Kerman Province, Rouhani visited the southeastern cities of Ravar, Hojedk and the village of Gorak in the province and met with the quake-hit people in the areas.

In a speech addressing the residents of Ravar, the Iranian president pledged to rebuild “all houses” in the quake-stricken areas by the end of 2018.

Earlier in December, strong earthquakes jolted various cities and villages in Kerman, which led to the injuring of dozens and destroyed many buildings in the province.

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.

The crash occurred at 10.15 on Friday morning between the towns of Cabasse and Carces in the Var department of southern France, 50 kilometres from Saint Tropez.

“The helicopters collided. There were three crew in one and two in the other. All are dead,” police in the nearby town of Brignoles told the AFP, adding that one body had still to be recovered from the wreckage.

The Var region prefecture said two army aviation service helicopters based at nearby Cannet-des-Maures collided near Carces lake.

Some 20 troops joined two rescue helicopters and a police chopper at the crash scene, along with local officials.

 

“Collapse of Iran Nuclear Deal to Create New Regional Crisis”

In an address to the 29th Meeting of Standing Committee of International Conference of Asian Political Parties in Tehran, Araqchi said the collapse of the deal will create a new crisis in the region and deteriorate the existing crises.

According to a Farsi report by the IRIB News Agency, Araqchi called the JCPOA a unique diplomatic achievement saying Iran has remained fully committed to the nuclear deal over the past years.

“Iran’s commitment to the nuclear deal has been explicitly confirmed in 9 reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency and 4 reports by the UN.”

The Iranian deputy foreign minister also expressed regret that the Trump administration has borne animosity with the nuclear deal since taking office last year, adding the administration has already violated some parts of the JCPOA.

“Foreigners Not Allowed to Poke Their Nose into Iran’s Missile Program”

Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami

Addressing a huge crowd of worshippers, the interim leader of Tehran’s Friday Prayers, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, rejected any foreign interference in Iran’s defence program, saying the Islamic Republic will produce more missiles with longer ranges as long as it can.

“In this regard, we will hold no negotiation with any state and will not allow any foreign meddling in our missile program,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by IRIB News.

He made the remarks in reaction to the latest meddlesome statements by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves le Drian, as well as a number of other foreign officials, on Iran’s missile program.

Back in January, the French foreign minister accused Iran of not respecting part of a UN resolution that calls on Tehran to refrain from working on ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. Iran has repeatedly said its missile program is purely defensive and denied they are designed to carry nuclear warheads.

Khatami also referred to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and said there is a strong consensus among the officials of the Islamic Republic not to take part in any new round of talks on the nuclear accord signed between Iran and six world powers in 2015.

He underlined that Iran will not change its final decision about the nuclear accord under any condition.

Ayatollah Khatami also denounced the US’ Greater Middle East Plan saying Washington will never see such a thing even in its wildest dream.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the senior cleric said the US officials have developed four strategies toward Iran and other Islamic states in the region and added, “They are after decreasing Iran’s missile and defence capabilities to provide the occupying regime of Israel with a sense of security and comfort.”

He also noted the US officials are still seeking to expand terrorist groups in the region to keep the region unsafe with the aim of pressing ahead with their regional projects.

He then referred to the regional polices of Iran and said the Islamic Republic of Iran will never stop supporting the resistance movement of Hezbollah.

Top General Says Iran to Further Boost Defence Power

General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri

In a Thursday message on the beginning of the ten-day ceremonies marking the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution’s victory in Iran, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said Tehran is monitoring the hostile stances of the US and the Zionist regime of Israel as well as their regional and trans-regional followers on the Islamic Republic’s strategic areas of power.

The Armed Forces will never allow any interference in Iran’s defence sphere or missile power, he underscored.

The general also assured the Iranian nation of the Armed Forces’ preparedness for decisive reaction to hostile actions, saying the country’s defense power will continue to grow.

The friends and foes acknowledge that Iran has turned into an “influential international actor” by relying on its internal capacities achieved under tough sanctions and threats, Major General Baqeri went on to say.

In comments in October 2017, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also rejected the idea of negotiations on Iran’s defence power, stressing that the country will press ahead with the plans to boost its might and build up its defense capabilities.

“As we have announced several times in the past and announce it once again, the country’s defence capabilities and power are not subject to negotiations and bargaining,” Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time.

“We will have no bargaining and dealing with the enemy over the country’s means of defence and over whatever provides or supports the national power,” Imam Khamenei underscored.

Rouhani directly addressed the US officials saying “on the one hand, you express sympathy with the Iranian people but on the other hand loot Iranians’ resources and impose sanctions on them depriving the people of even basic pharmaceuticals.”

“The people of Iran are proud to be the only nation in the world who have managed to carry out a successful revolution without the support of any superpower,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by the president’s official website.

In an address to a public gathering in the southern city of Sirjan, President Rouhani called Iran a safe place in the chaotic region of the Middle East and added today no region is more secure than Iran.

“This security the fruit of close cooperation underway between the Iranian nation and security forces. Every terrorist group intending to inflict a blow on Iran will be crushed by our people,” he noted.

Rouhani said today the Iranian nation is prepared enough to stand up against any foreign aggression.

The remarks were made in reaction to the recent anti-Iran rhetoric by US President Donald Trump.

In his first State of the Union Address on Tuesday, Trump persistently criticized the multilateral Iranian nuclear deal put in place by his predecessor Obama and labelled Iran a state sponsor of terror.

“America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom,” he said.
