Military Chiefs of Iran, Pakistan Call for Action on Rohingya Crisis

In a telephone conversation on Sunday, the two top generals discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the two countries’ armed forces to help the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

They also called on the Muslim world to do more and help stop the “unfavorable” and “inhumane” situation of the Rohingya community in the Southeast Asian country.

Baqeri and Bajwa further said that military and non-military organizations of Muslim countries could mobilize their forces and facilities to speed up the dispatch of humanitarian relief to the persecuted Muslims in Myanmar.

The Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar have long faced severe discrimination and were the targets of violence in 2012 that killed hundreds and drove about 140,000 people from their homes to camps for the internally displaced.

On September 12, the UN refugee agency said the number of Rohingya Muslim refugees that have fled recent violence in Myanmar has spiked to about 370,000.

Earlier, the UN top human rights official accused Myanmar of carrying out “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing” against Rohingya Muslims.

Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the military’s “brutal” security campaign was in clear violation of international law, and cited what he called refugees’ consistent accounts of widespread extrajudicial killings, rape and other atrocities.

US Coercive Approach Not to Work in Case of Iran: Leader

Speaking at a graduation ceremony of Iran’s police cadets in Tehran on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the US impudence in case of the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, and said Washington has made an evil move on JCPOA every single day.

“This proves how right Imam Khomeini was when he described the US as the ‘Great Satan’,” the Leader noted, adding that the US is really the most evil one.

Ayatollah Khamenei further noted that Iran will need to produce at least 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power within the coming years, but the US is opposed to the scientific progress of Iran and other nations.

Therefore, the Leader added, when Iran tried to achieve the technology as part of its legitimate right, the US stood against it and imposed cruel sanctions.

“Iranian officials finally decided to negotiate [the country’s nuclear program] and even ignore part of their rights so that the sanctions are removed,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.

However, the Leader added, “today we see that despite all the agreements, commitments, and extensive negotiations, the US behaviour towards the talks and their results is totally cruel and coercive.”

“Officials of the Islamic Republic should prove it to the corrupt leaders of the United States that they rely on their own people, and the powerful nation of Iran […] won’t accept and bow to bullying,” Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say.

“The Americans should know the Iranian nation will stand on its honourable and powerful stances,” he noted, adding that the country will not back off when it comes to national interests.

“The enemy should know if bullying and coercion works in other parts of the world, it won’t work in the Islamic Republic, and this Establishment is standing firmly and strongly.”

Blasting the US officials for accusing Iran of telling lies, the Leader said, “You are the ones who lie; liars are those who don’t want to see the prosperity of any nation and believe it is right to secure one’s illegitimate interests by any means.”

“The Iranian nation has stood firmly and any wrong move by the hegemonic system on the JCPOA will draw a reaction from the Islamic Republic,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.

Iranian Cities of Mariwan, Sirjan Named World Cities of Handicrafts

Bahman Namvar-Motlaq, a deputy of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, said on Sunday that the World Crafts Council had sent inspectors to Marivan in the western Kermanshah Province, Sirjan in the southern Kerman Province, and Kalpourgan in the southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan Province.

After studying reports prepared by the inspectors, the council members voted to register Marivan and Sirjan as the world cities of rugs and traditional shoes called Kalash respectively, as well as Kalpourgan as the world village of pottery, he said.

The official further expressed hope that other Iranian cities would be nominated for the title in the future.

Mashhad, Lalejin, Isfahan and Tabriz have already been recorded as the world cities of gemstones, pottery, handicrafts and hand-woven carpets, respectively.

Iran now holds the first place in terms of the number of its cities and villages registered by the World Crafts Council.

Larijani

Speaking at a church in Iran’s northwestern city of Oroumiyeh on Sunday, Larijani deplored the pressure that Christian people have come under in various parts of the region, as in Syria.

Expressing concern about the destruction of holy Christian sites in Syria and imprisonment of Christians by terrorist groups, the Iranian speaker said he has held talks with Syrian officials to solve the problems the country’s Christian people are suffering from.

“We should all join hands to rid the region of the plague of terrorism,” he further underlined.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with various terrorist groups, including Daesh (ISIL), 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.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in an interview that if the Iraqi population is “threatened by the use of force outside the law, then the Army will intervene militarily.”

Speaking in an interview with the Associated Press news agency on Saturday, Abadi said, “If you challenge the constitution and if you challenge the borders of Iraq and the borders of the region, this is a public invitation to the countries in the region to violate Iraqi borders as well, which is a very dangerous escalation.”

The leaders of Iraq’s Kurdish region have said they hope the referendum will push Baghdad to come to the negotiating table and create a path for independence. However, Abadi said such negotiations would likely be complicated by the referendum vote.

“It will make it harder and more difficult,” he said, but added: “I will never close the door to negotiations. Negotiations are always possible.”

Iraq’s Kurdish region plans to hold the referendum on support for independence from Iraq on September 25 in three governorates that make up their autonomous region, and in disputed areas controlled by Kurdish forces but which are claimed by Baghdad.

Iraq’s Kurds have come under increasing pressure to call off the vote from regional powers and the United States, a key ally, as well as Baghdad.
