Rouhani Azerbaijan

During the Wednesday meeting, Rouhani referred to the frequent visits of Iranian and Azerbaijani delegations saying the visits show the two sides are determined to expand their bilateral ties in various fields.

“We have had good economic relations but we need to take advantage of the available capacities to increase our trade volumes,” he noted.

Rouhani called for decreased customs tariffs between Iran and Azerbaijan and stressed that expansion of bilateral ties requires establishing good banking relations.

He expressed his country’s readiness to boost relations with Azerbaijan in the fields of industry, agriculture, energy and so on.

Elsewhere in his statements, Rouhani pointed to the bilateral relations in the Caspian Sea’s oil fields as well as banking exchanges and said heads of the relevant joint commissions in the mentioned fields should make their utmost efforts to achieve the set goals.

He also referred to the crisis in Syria and Yemen and said Iran and Azerbaijan should step up their diplomatic efforts to restore stability to these war-torn countries.

Rouhani also referred to the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and said this is upon all Muslims across the world to extend their support for the oppressed Muslims there.

For his part, the Azerbaijani president thanked the Iranians for their warm hospitality and said his visit reveals that cooperation between the two sides is making progress.

“The development of trilateral relations between Iran, Azerbaijan, and Russia is in the interest of the region and contributes to the cooperation between the regional states in the transportation and progress of South-North Corridor project,” he said.

He also said bilateral deals have been made to go ahead with the project of Rasht-Astara railway adding the two sides’ cooperation in this field can lead to regional and international cooperation.

Aliyev arrived in Tehran earlier on Wednesday to take part in a trilateral summit with Iranian and Russian presidents. The three leaders are set to sit down for talks on various issues. The meeting is expected to mainly revolve around cooperation on transit and energy as well as the conflict in Syria. Putin and Aliyev are also scheduled to meet the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution. This is the second such summit. The first one took place in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku last year.

In his Wednesday statement, Qassemi expressed regret at the incident and sympathized with the families of the victims.

“Using the tactic of invading and killing innocent and defenceless citizens on the streets and public places reflects the cruelty and brutality of terrorist groups such as ISIS who have proved they do not believe in any human principles and ethics,” said Qassemi.

He also added that when such events occur in another country, the people of Iran, as one of the victims of terrorism, remember their own bitter memories of similar events.

“We believe that the ominous, inhumane, and cruel phenomenon of terrorism has its roots in the policies and approaches the US and its allies earlier adopted in the Middle East. They created, nurtured, and supported these groups to make instrumental use of them.”

He further noted that they (the US and its allies) used these groups as a means to achieve their goals and also destabilize the regional countries.

Qassemi underlined that the only way to eradicate terrorism is that all countries deal seriously, honestly and in full transparency with this phenomenon.

‘US Trying to Minimize Iran’s Benefits under JCPOA’

“The United States has always tried to minimize the benefits of the Iran nuclear deal for the Islamic Republic,” Araqchi said in an address to Iranian lawmakers on Wednesday, while presenting a report on the trend of the implementation of the nuclear deal.

He said Washington’s non-compliance with its commitments under the JCPOA has been aimed at keeping Iran from reaping the benefits of the agreement as much as possible.

Araqchi stressed that the US is obliged to make good on its commitments under the JCPOA, but reneges on its obligations.

“Breaches of promises by the new US administration have considerably increased in recent months,” he noted.

He said both the previous and incumbent US administrations have nursed ill intentions regarding the JCPOA.

The deputy foreign minister further said Iran stands ready to counter any possible US scenario regarding the JCPOA, saying Tehran has envisioned the necessary measures and actions to deal with any US move on the agreement.

He said Washington has adopted numerous measures which run counter to the letter and spirit of the JCPOA, including restrictions on the issuance of visas in the previous US administration, passing restrictive banking regulations, insistence on and ratcheting up non-nuclear sanctions, hostile and provocative remarks by the new US president, and efforts to pressure the International Atomic Energy Agency over Iran’s nuclear program.

US Sanctions Keep Iran from Attending Mobile World Congress

US Sanctions Keep Iran from Attending Mobile World Congress

Washington’s sanctions can easily keep Iranian companies from taking part in events related to “communications and information technology.” Reports that interested individuals have been barred from taking part in the exhibition, especially when the venue of the event is not in the United States, but in Spain – an EU member state which claims to be a supporter of the Iran nuclear deal – shows Iranian people, contrary to US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric, are the main target of Washington’s sanctions and have been deprived of being present in all arenas.

Therefore, the Iranian nation, as a cultured people with a rich civilization, has every right to regard as a bluffer the person who makes all this rhetoric. How can Iranian citizens believe the verbal compliments by the ruler of the White House on their culture and civilization? How can they believe his honesty? How can they believe Trump’s words when unfair laws supported by him deprive them of attending an event related to science and technology and of travelling to a third country?

There is uncertainty over the GSMA imposing sanctions on Iran. That could deprive Iranians from attending the biggest mobile phone event, according to a Farsi report by Shargh newspaper.

The GSM Association is a trade body that represents the interests of mobile network operators worldwide. One of the services it offers is to determine the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). It is a unique number for each mobile phone and is comprised of several parts each of which shows information such as the country which has manufactured the phone as well as the model of the device. The IMEI has numerous uses, namely enabling devices to be identified in mobile networks. Now, there are reports that after the imposition of sanctions by the GSMA, the trade body has banned Iranian visitors from going to the international mobile phone congress in Barcelona.

In other words, Iranians will not be able to attend the 2018 Mobile World Congress (MWC). After users enter the information related to the country, they see a message which indicates Iranian users are banned from visiting the 2018 MWC exhibition. The message reads that because the GSMA is an American company, it should act in accordance with the trade sanctions imposed by the US government. The sanctions keep the GSMA from issuing visas to visitors from Cuba, Iran and Syria.

The MWC held in Barcelona is an exhibition which brings together companies producing mobile gadgets and displays the latest communications technologies. The GSMA is the main organizer of the international event. Every year, telecoms operators and mobile phone producers introduce their latest achievements at the exhibition.

Given the GSMA’s sanctions, it seems that this year, neither Iranian firms nor visitors and IT authorities will be able to attend the event.

Entire Muslim World Responsible for Supporting Palestine: Iran Leader

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

Ayatollah Khamenei on Wednesday described the battle against the Zionist regime of Israel as a “sacred” one and a collective responsibility of the entire Muslim world.

The “heavy responsibility” to support Palestine lies with the entire Islamic world, the Leader said in a message to the 2nd international conference of resistance scholars, held in Beirut.

“Without a doubt, scholarly elites, clerics and politicians, as well as the officials of Muslim countries carry the heavier part of this responsibility; this is a sacred and well-ending Resistance. The Divine promise guarantees definite victory of the resistance,” the Leader said, as reported by Tasnim.

Describing the battle against Israel as a “holy” fight with a fortunate outcome, Ayatollah Khamenei said Almighty God has pledged a definite victory in this battle.

The Leader also urged that efforts should be made to diversify the continued fight against Tel Aviv.

“Your congress today represents part of this vast, public movement. May God help you succeed on this path. I recommend that all individuals, who feel the importance of this great responsibility, continue different methods of fighting against the usurper Zionist Regime.”

According to head of the Union of Resistance Scholars, Sheikh Maher Hamoud, more than 200 scholars from over 80 countries have taken part in the two-day event in Beirut.

“True Promise: Palestine between Balfour Declaration and Divine Promise” is the theme of the conference.

The first international conference of resistance scholars was held in Lebanon in May 2016.

Iran to Increase Precision, Accuracy of Missiles: Top General

Iran to Increase Precision, Accuracy of Missiles: Top General

Chairman of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says Iran’s missile capability is merely geared to deterrence.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile power is completely defensive and [Iran] has no intention of launching aggression against any country, but when it comes to defending the country and national interests, if an aggressor makes a strategic mistake and intends to encroach upon our interests, the Islamic Republic of Iran will have no reservations about using its missile power,” he said.

According to a Farsi report by ILNA, he then touched upon Iran’s missile capabilities from a quantitative, tactical and technical point of view.

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei] has authorized us to produce missiles with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers, and our scientists have managed to produce these missiles with [high] quality and in quantities needed by the country.”

He said Iran’s missiles have been deployed in “safe areas and underground missile towns.”

He said Iran pays much attention to the “precision” and “pin-point accuracy” in designing and producing its missiles.

“In the world, missiles are usually produced to carry nuclear warheads, and this does not need accuracy as they (attacks) cover large areas. But the Islamic Republic of Iran regards the possession, production and use of nuclear warheads as religiously forbidden; so, our scientists have designed precision-guided missiles with more accuracy,” said the top general.

He said the deterrence power of Iran’s missiles is based on the latest technologies.

“No matter how much our enemies, namely the criminal United States and human-and-child-killing Zionists, increase their missile defense capabilities, they won’t be able to overcome our missile power,” the general underlined.

He also stressed that Washington’s sanctions will not affect the Islamic Republic’s missile program.

“The laws and regulations of the US Congress and circles regarding the imposition of sanctions will have no bearing on the Iranian nation’s will and missile power,” said the top general.
