Future Wars in Mideast Probably on Water: Iranian Diplomat

Water Crisis

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araqchi says the issue of water, water resources, coping with water scarcity, as well as the use of common water areas have always been top on the agenda of Iran’s foreign ministry.

“In the past few decades, water has become a global concern and in line with it, Water Diplomacy and a science called Water Policy or Hydropolitics have come into existence, and they are currently being taught in some of the world’s leading universities,” Araqchi stressed in a Farsi interview with ISNA on water diplomacy.

“In recent years, water and its scarcity has turned into a sensitive and serious issue in our country, and has even become a security concern.”

“Considering the importance of this issue, the foreign ministry has tried to focus more on water diplomacy. In this context and in the light of the legal and international dimensions of water diplomacy, the matter has been given more attention in the Legal and International Affairs Department of the Foreign Ministry,” the Iranian diplomat added.

In response to a question on the lack of freshwater in the Middle East, he said it is possible to see a water conflict in the region in the near future.

“Water war is not a new issue; it has always existed and has been considered for years as a serious threat in the Middle East. It is likely that future wars in the region would be over water, but history has many lessons for us. According to historical experiences, the grounds for a war on the issue of water can lead to cooperation in this regard, and for the same reason, water has become very important in foreign policy.”

“International assessments show that by 2025, the entire Middle East region will be officially recognized as a dry area, and Iran will not be an exception. This situation will become much worse by 2050, and water scarcity next to drought will become a very serious issue for Middle Eastern countries, including Iran,” he said.

Araqchi also underlined that even some parts of Iran may be completely or largely abandoned because of this issue.

This official added that there are two solutions regarding this global crisis. “The first step is to provide water supplies from abroad, and the second is the management of water resources inside the country.”

Araqchi said that in both ways, foreign policy plays an important role.

In response to a question on how it is possible to provide water from abroad, he said such ideas exist in Iran as well, but how physically these ideas can be operational is another issue.

“At the moment, there are a number of countries that suffer from water scarcity, and they are transferring water into their land from water-rich countries through digging special water channels,” he pointed out.

The team also met with a group of residents of these camps and got aware of their latest situation.

Moreover, the distribution of Iran’s humanitarian aid for the Myanmarese refugees, which had been handed over to Bangladeshi authorities yesterday, began in the presence of the Iranian delegation.

The Rohingya, described as “the world’s most persecuted minority,” have been denied citizenship in Myanmar, which has effectively rendered them stateless.

The United Nations says nearly 400,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh since August 25 due to a fresh wave of violence and persecution.

Iran President Calls on Europe to Press US for Nuclear Deal Commitment

“We expect the European Union, firstly, to carry out the JCPOA deal completely, and secondly, to press the US to honor its commitments under the JCPOA,” President Rouhani said on Saturday, stressing that Washington should be given a decisive message.

He made the comments in a meeting with President of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives Siegfried Bracke, here in Tehran.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency reports, Iran has fully honored its commitments under the JCPOA, the nuclear accord between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), the president added, stressing that all of the other parties to the deal should also fulfill their undertakings.

He also referred to the IAEA as the only entity that is authorized to verify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear agreement, in an apparent reaction to the US president who has repeatedly accused Iran of violating the spirit of the JCPOA.

Elsewhere in his comments, President Rouhani voiced his administration’s resolve to broaden ties with the EU, hoping that friendly countries, including Belgium, would participate more actively in the economic and trade interaction with Iran.

Bracke, for his part, said Belgium is determined to expand relations with Iran.

Highlighting the significance that Belgium and the EU attach to the JCPOA, the Belgian official said the European Union would do its utmost to fulfil the JCPOA undertakings.

Iran and the six powers reached a conclusion over the text of the nuclear deal in July 2015 and implemented it in January 2016.

Under the agreement, certain limits have been put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related bans against Tehran.

In all of its reports after coming into force of the JCPOA, the IAEA has verified the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran as well as the Islamic Republic’s commitment to the nuclear deal.

Iran Joins Countries Having Flight Simulator Technology

Researchers from Tarbiat Modares University of Tehran have managed to design and manufacture this special flight simulation instrument, ISNA reports.

The flight simulator was unveiled Tuesday, September 12, in the presence of Dr Vahid Ahmadi, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology at the University of Tarbiat Modares.

Mohammad Rostami, one of the researchers of this project, told reporters on the sidelines of the ceremony that the Cessna-172 is a small educational aircraft.

He said that the technology had been imported from abroad so far, adding that some air tragedies happened due to the lack of such system.

“By this project, we succeeded in localizing this device.”

“The technology has already been available to countries such as the Netherlands, France, Japan, the United States and Germany, and Iran is the sixth country having this technology,” Rostami underlined.

Rostami also stressed that before the production of this technology, there was a software system for it in the country, but its hardware was imported.

Tarbiat Modares University, within the framework of a research project, managed to design and manufacture the flight simulation instrument in two years, he added.

According to him, the use of this technology will reduce costs by as much as two-thirds.

“In total, the Chinese and other foreign publishers expressed their interest in purchase of the copyright and translation of 23 Iranian books. We agreed that the titles requested by foreign publishers be submitted to the POL Agency in the application forms, in order to enable the agency to coordinate the copyright issues with the Iranian publishers, authors and foreign parties. Meanwhile, the POL Agency made a commitment to make the necessary arrangements for the Chinese publishers to obtain Iranian grants.”

Jafari Aqdam also pointed out that POL Literary and Translation Agency, in addition to introducing Iranian works with the aim of selling translation and copyrights to the Chinese publishers, also participated in some other events of the Beijing Book Fair including “Electronic Publishing and its Future”.

Iran, P5+1 Foreign Ministers to Hold Meeting This Week

The high-ranking Iranian diplomat said that the event was confirmed at the meeting of the Deputy Foreign ministers and other officials of Iran and the P5+1 in Vienna.

The official added that as the foreign ministers of the seven countries plus the EU Foreign Policy Chief would be in New York this week, all of them have agreed to hold a meeting on the nuclear deal, known as JCPOA.

“Iran has also emphasized the need for such meetings in light of recent violations of the JCPOA implementation by the United States in recent months.”

According to a Farsi report by ISNA, this is the second time that the meeting of the foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1 is going to be held in New York. The previous meeting was during the administration of Barack Obama, who was supporting the agreement and its implementation.

However, this meeting is going to be held during the Tramp administration, which opposes the nuclear deal and is seeking to disrupt it.

The US is participating in the meeting in a situation that it extended the suspension of its sanctions on Iran for another three-month period on Thursday.

According to ISNA, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht-Ravanchi, the deputy foreign ministers of Iran, as well as Pejman Rahimian, the Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, along with a number of other experts have headed to New York to attend the 9th Joint Commission of the JCPOA.

The Joint Commission is likely to be held in New York on Tuesday in a situation that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his American counterpart Rex Tillerson are reportedly expected to meet on the sidelines of the 72nd annual session of the UN General Assembly.

Foreign Policy reported on Friday that Tillerson would hold his first meeting on the Iran nuclear deal with Zarif and other parties to the nuclear deal, which is officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

High-ranking officials from 193 countries will gather September 19 for a week of speeches at the annual UN General Assembly in New York.
