Iran’s Zarif, UK’s Johnson Discuss Case of Zaghari-Ratcliffe

In a Tuesday phone conversation, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson talked about the case of  Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, an Iranian-British woman jailed in Iran.

Zarif stressed during the phone conversation that “dual nationality” is not accepted under the Iranian law, said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi.

Zarif’s remarks come as Zaghari-Ratcliffe is referred to by Western media as a “British-Iranian national.”

Zarif also highlighted that the three branches of government in Iran work independently.

“Making decisions on this case falls within the remit of the Iranian Judiciary, and I, as a humanitarian gesture, will inform Iranian judicial authorities of your comments,” said the top Iranian diplomat.

The phone call came after Johnson retracted his comments Tuesday about Zaghari-Ratcliffe amid growing criticism from her husband and fellow lawmakers.

Johnson had told a British Parliament committee last week that she was simply teaching journalism in Iran.

His critics say Johnson’s remarks led to Zaghari-Ratcliffe being summoned to an unscheduled court hearing in Iran over the weekend, at which Johnson’s remarks, as the critics say, were cited as proof that she had engaged in “propaganda” against the Islamic Republic.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe is serving a five-year prison term in Iran after being convicted of spying.

Enemies of Resistance Front in Weakest Position Ever: Iran Leader’s Aide

Speaking at a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Tuesday, Velayati offered his congratulations over the recent victories of the Syrian forces against foreign-backed terrorists east of the Arab country.

“The Syrian people have resisted (against terrorists) for about seven years and the resistance has been fruitful in terms of restoring security and political stability to Syria,” he said.

He further emphasized that the fates of Resistance Front countries are now tied together, adding that today, the enemies of the front are in their weakest possible position compared to the past.

Assad, for his part, underlined the importance of closer relations between Tehran and Damascus and expressed his gratitude to the Islamic Republic for its support for the Arab country.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with various terrorist groups, including Daesh (also known as ISIS or ISIL), currently controlling parts of it.

According to a report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people, injured 1.9 million others, and displaced nearly half of the country’s pre-war population of about 23 million within or beyond its borders.

In the meantime, Iran has remained a close ally of Syria and supports its legitimate government in the face of foreign-backed militancy.

Tehran insists that the Syrian nation is the only side that has the right to shape the future of its own country, rejecting foreign intervention with the use of force.

Iran-Ready-to-Let-Pakistan-Know-How-to-Use-Popular-Forces-IRGC

Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari has underlined the importance of popular forces in confronting the enemy, reports Fars News Agency.

“We were informed that the United States and the Zionist regime [of Israel] are making efforts to create insecurity in Pakistan like in other regional countries. Preventive measures and reliance on popular forces along with the Armed Forces and security troops can prevent the creation of insecurity in that country,” said the top commander in a meeting with Pakistani Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

“With 40 years of experience in confronting enemy threats, Iran stands ready to share with Pakistan its experience in the field of defence and popular resistance.

General Jafari also highlighted the role of popular forces in fighting terrorists in the region.

“When it was decided to use popular forces in the battlefield in Iraq and Syria like in the Holy Defence era (a term used to refer to the eight years of war launched by the former Iraqi regime against Iran in the 1980s), the organized presence of, and wholehearted defence by the people [fighting] along with the army turned the tables and brought about the defeat of Takfiris today,” the Iranian general said.

He also underscored that Iran and Pakistan will further deepen their relations in the future.

The top Pakistani general, in turn, praised the IRGC, saying, “The IRGC’s moves in aiding the Muslims nations in the region  has made me more interested in you.”

He then expressed his gratitude to the IRGC for expressing its preparedness to share its experience with Pakistan in the field of defence and mobilization of popular forces.

He said the enemies are seeking to drive a wedge between Tehran and Islamabad, and underlined that Pakistan is set to enhance its relations and cooperation with Iran despite all conspiracies and divisive measures by the enemy.

Despite all threats, the Pakistani general said, Iran enjoys a good status today.

He said Pakistan, too, has been under sanctions for years, but “the two nations have done well so far despite all problems.”

Speaking in a Tuesday phone conversation with Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Zarif lashed out at Saudi Arabia for its provocative moves in the region.

He also rejected the false and dangerous claims raised by Saudi officials, and stressed that such allegations are against international laws and the UN charter.

Zarif and Johnson also conferred on bilateral ties between Tehran and London as well as regional and international issues.

The Iranian top diplomat’s comments came after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman accused Iran of “direct military aggression” which could be an “act of war.”

Saudi air defence forces intercepted a ballistic missile on Saturday fired toward the capital, Riyadh, from across the border in Yemen. The Kingdom’s officials are accusing Iran of supplying the missiles to Yemen’s Houthi fighters, while Iran denies such allegations.

Removing US Dollar from Int’l Transactions to Facilitate Banking Ties: Iran

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Iranian MP Ezatollah Yousefian Molla said since the contracts and deals between Iran and the European countries are in US dollars, and Iran is under banking sanctions, there are a lot of problems that incur costs in banking ties.

“Therefore, if the dollar is removed from international transactions in Iran, the banking problems will be resolved and the speed of dealings will increase,” he told ICANA in a Farsi interview.

He further mentioned that if, for example, transactions between Iran and Russia are made using the Iranian rial or the Russian ruble, then it actually means the money will be exchanged between domestic banks, but this will be difficult when we start transactions with a third country.

Another Iranian legislator also mentioned that monetary agreements with neighbouring countries reduce the influence of Western currencies.

Mohammad Hossein Farhanghi said agreements are reached with Turkey to use national currencies in transactions, and in the next steps the process will be continued with countries like Russia and other neighbouring countries, such as Azerbaijan Republic.

The comments came after the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Tehran called for cooperation to counter US sanctions against Iran and Russia, saying that “without paying heed to the negative propaganda of the enemies to undermine the relations between countries, we can counter US sanctions by methods like eliminating the dollar and replacing the national currency in bilateral or multilateral economic transactions.”
