ICT Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi says a number of Iranian websites have come under attack on Monday night.

“The (sources of) attacks have been identified and their scope has been controlled,” the Azad News Agency (ANA) quoted him as saying in a Farsi report.

“Fortunately, the attacks were foiled and controlled; however, we need to be more vigilant,” he wrote on his twitter account.

He further dismissed the claims about Iran’s cyber-attacks on other countries, saying “the more powerful we become, the more attacks we suffer.”

Azari Jahromi also emphasised that security of cyberspace and the preservation of cyber-assets of the country is very important, saying that training of up to 10,000 cyber security personnel is on the agenda for the next four years.

He added that training these people will be provided at special centres in universities across the country.

The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Agency for Export Credit and Investment Insurance (EXIAR) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on financing, reports the Persian-language Mehr News Agency.

That came in a meeting between Iranian Central Bank Governor Ahmad Araqchi, and CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of EXIAR Alexey Tyupanov.

In the meeting, the Iranian official expressed satisfaction with the promotion of relations between the two countries, and called for expediting the financing of the projects between the two sides.

“We are pleased that talks on financing contracts have borne fruit, and we hope the cooperation will further expand,” said the top Iranian official.

The CEO of EXIAR, in turn, said he was happy to see the negotiations had come to fruition.

“We hope different projects run by the Iranian public and private sectors will soon be able to use financing facilities by Russian banks, which will set the stage for further expansion of economic ties between the two sides,” said the top Russian manager.

In the meeting, the two sides also agreed on the generalities of conditions for financing between Iranian and Russian banks. As agreed, Iranian banks will be able to apply for financing facilities by Russian banks to use them for the projects they are authorized to run.

Also, the financing facilities received from Russian banks will be used for public and private sectors and different industries which take priority as confirmed by relevant bodies.

Moreover, a general contract on financing will soon be signed by Iranian and Russian banks.

“Iran has no role in Kirkuk operation and most Iraqi Kurdish people are opposed to [KRG president] Masoud Barzani’s ambitions,” Velayati told reporters on Tuesday after a meeting with France’s special envoy for Syria.

“We saw that almost without any conflicts the region came under the control of Iraqi central government. Barzani must realise and admit that he has made a mistake.”

Referring to the role the United States plays in disintegration of Iraq, he said the Americans built a military base in Syria seeking the breakdown of the government. He sarcastically concluded that if they succeed in disintegrating Iraq, they will succeed in Syria too.

‘Counter-Terror Steps Taken by Iran, Russia Bearing Fruit in Syria’

He raised the issue at the end of his three-day visit to Russia, explaining about his visit and the meetings held on the sidelines of the 137th assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Russia’s St. Petersburg.

“Iran and Russia are playing significant role in establishment of security and fighting terrorism (in Syria),” Larijani told reporters.

“In general” he added “our efforts in Syria have yielded result”.

“It needs complementary measures about which talks were held with (Russian President) Putin and other Russian officials,” Larijani noted.

The Iranian speaker pointed to his meetings with representatives of other countries on the sidelines of this international conference and said that officials from other countries shared common stances with Islamic Republic on key issues regarding establishment of security in the region.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the religious and ethnic issues have been used for igniting conflicts in the region, he said, noting that foreign intelligence services are almost behind such provocations.

Iran and Russia cooperation in fighting terrorism in Syria has helped decline of Takfiri terrorism in the war-torn region. Tehran and Moscow in cooperation with Ankara initiated a diplomatic effort for resolution of the Syria crisis. Their diplomatic efforts in the Kazak capital, Astana resulted in establishment of four de-escalation zones in the 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.
