Austria Keen to Initiate Technological Cooperation with Iran

The member of Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), Mariana Haselberger, has voiced Vienna’s interest in cooperating with Iran in the field of technology, saying her company intends to gain comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the Iranian culture and economy to effectively implement its projects in the Islamic Republic.

According to a Farsi report by the Mehr News Agency, she referred to science, technology and experience as the three main components in the implementation of her company’s joint projects with Iran.

“We will do our best to share our knowledge, information, and experience with the Iranian side over the course of this joint venture.”

Commenting on her visits to industrial complexes in Tabriz in the northwestern Iranian province of East Azarbaijan, she expressed the hope that by carrying out this project, the two sides would manage to ensure a close cooperation that would lead to the continuation of such collaborations in the future.

The AIT has signed an agreement with Iran’s Rab’-e Rashidi Special Science and Technology Zone and the Iranian Association for Management of Technology to start cooperation in manufacturing auto spare parts in East Azarbaijan Province.

New Party to Fulfil Needs of Iraqi Younger Generation: Ammar al-Hakim

Ammar al-Hakim announced on July 24 he is stepping down as the ISCI leader to establish a new party.

However, in an interview with the Mehr News Agency, he said the formation of the new party does not mean breaking relationship with the members of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.

“Since 2009 and after the relative failure of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq in the political arena of the country, we came to the conclusion that the structure and approaches of the council need some sort of reform in order to restore its position according to the facts in the Iraqi society,” the Iraqi politician added.

“This approach has been discussed for a long time at the higher levels of the council, but for some reasons it was not accepted by some colleagues, and finally we decided to form a new party.”

Hakim also pointed out that the management of the new conditions in which the young generation of Iraq came into existence need to be reviewed.

“We are trying to take a fresh look at how to attract more of this generation,” he added.

“There is not going to be any negative competition between us and our friends from other groups, especially in the Supreme Council. I am the same Seyyed Ammar, but we should take into consideration that getting updated in the field of political action needs change in some approaches, especially in relation to the new generation of Iraqi society,” Hakim noted.

In response to a question on his probable trip to Saudi Arabia, the Iraqi cleric said that he is not planning a visit to Saudi Arabia at the moment.

“A Saudi mediator recently came to me with a message saying that if invited, will you meet with the Saudi heads of state? I said if their souvenir for me is that they will leave Bahrain and end massacre of the innocent Yemeni people, I will certainly accept their invitation. They turned down my request and for the time being, I am not planning a trip to Saudi Arabia.”

Qatar Detains Iranian Fishermen for 2nd Time in 2 Weeks

Fishing Boat

Mohammad Radmehr, the governor of Parsian town in Hormuzgan province, said two fishing boats departed the town on Monday for catching fish, but lost each other and unintentionally sailed out of the Iranian territorial waters.

According to a Farsi report by the Mehr News Agency, one of the fishing boats with three sailors on board, named Abdolmajid Rahmani, Mohammad Amin Bahri, and Aqil Irannejad, was seized by Qatar’s coast guards after they trespassed the Arab country’s waters, he added.

“The IRGC Navy and all relevant authorities are pursuing their release through legal measures,” Radmehr went on to say.

This is the second such incident in over two weeks. Earlier on July 19, three other Iranian fishermen were detained by Qatari coast guards in the Persian Gulf.

The detained people, from Assaluyeh port of Iran’s southern Bushehr province, were busy fishing in a boat near the oil rigs of Qatar, the Chief of Fishery Organization of Assaluyeh port, Abdolhossein Bahreini, said at the time.

The Iranian boat did not receive the required licence for fishing, and since it did not observe the marine border regulations, it was stopped and its crew were detained, Bahreini said.

Trump’s Signing of New Sanctions Attempt to Destroy JCPOA

Araghchi

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araghchi made the announcement on Wednesday, shortly after Trump signed into law a bill by Congress that imposes new sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea.

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries — the US, the UK, France, Russia, and China plus Germany — inked the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015. It lifted nuclear related sanctions on Iran, which, in turn, put certain limits on its nuclear work.

The United Nations nuclear watchdog has invariably certified Iran’s commitment to its contractual obligations since January 2016, when the deal took effect. The US, however, has prevented the deal from fully yielding. Washington has refused to offer global financial institutions the guarantees that they would not be hit by American punitive measures for transactions with Iran.

“The US’ main goal for imposing the sanctions against Iran is to destroy the JCPOA and we will react very intelligently to these measures,” said Araghchi.

Noting that Trump’s move was predictable as Congress had almost unanimously voted for the new sanctions, Araghchi stressed that it showed the US believes the JCPOA has empowered Iran in the region.

“Based on this perspective, the general belief in Washington is that this situation must be reversed and Iran must be put under pressure,” he said, adding that the nuclear deal is a hindrance for such measures.

He noted that imposing fresh sanctions on Iran is an attempt to reduce Tehran’s benefits from the nuclear accord and to negatively affect its “successful implementation.”

The senior Iranian official also said that in a committee chaired by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani several decisions were made over reactions towards Washington’s provocative measures, which will be duly handed over to the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“On Monday, the committee for monitoring the implementation of the JCPOA had a meeting in which all aspects of the new measures were discussed and very intelligent responses were designed,” he added

Iran Leader Officially Endorses Rouhani’s Presidential Decree

In a ceremony held on Thursday in Tehran with all top Iranian officials in attendance, Ayatollah Khamenei gave his official approval for the president-elect by giving him a decree to assign him his duties.

In the decree, Ayatollah Khamenei said he endorses people’s vote and pronounce ‘the respected scientist Dr. Hassan Rouhani’ as Iran’s president.

Rouhani delivered a speech after receiving the endorsement decree, elaborating on his future plans as the chief executive.

He said “social justice” and “poverty alleviation” were among the main ideals of the Islamic establishment, adding that the eradication of absolute poverty is one of the objectives of his administration.

The administration, he said, seeks to set the stage for people to exercise their rights, adding that his cabinet would make efforts to “uproot poverty and corruption, contain inflation and [facilitate] economic growth.”

Rouhani further called for more investment and access to advanced technologies, stressing that sustainable development is not achievable without reliable plans, Press TV reported.

Iran paid the price for its independence and will stand against enemy attempts to isolate the nation, he added.

Rouhani will take the oath of office in Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) on Saturday.

The inauguration ceremony is expected to see a record turnout, with delegations from over 100 countries taking part in the event.

He will then have two weeks to present his cabinet to the Parliament for a vote of confidence.

Iran Condemns Trump’s Signing of New Sanctions Law

In a statement on Thursday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned Trump’s signature of the new anti-Iran sanctions earlier passed by the US Congress.

Qassemi dismissed the move as regressive, illegitimate, illogical and contrary to all human principles as well as international laws.

He denounced the move as one of Washington’s latest ant-Iran actions and another instance of US animosity toward the civilized and cultured people of Iran as well as an insult to all freedom-seeking people across the world.

The spokesman underlined the reality that the recent legislation affects successful implementation of a nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and added the law is slammed by different countries, including US partners.

“The move by chaos-seeking bullies and extremist, malevolent elements ruling the United States once again displayed the US’ unilateralism and illogical hostility,” said Qassemi.

He then touched upon a recent meeting of the committee tasked with monitoring the implementation of the JCPOA as well as the decisions adopted to counter the new US legislation.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not remain tight-lipped in the face of the US’ violation of the JCPOA, and the Iranian Parliament and government will soon announce a series of reciprocal measures to respond to that.”

“Iran has stood up to the United States’ hostile moves, and, as always, is pressing ahead with its efforts to ensure stability and security, and relentlessly continues its fight against terrorism in a bid to promote peace and stability in the region,” he noted.

“Iran will, by no means, allow the expansionist and destabilizing policies of others to bear fruit,” said Qassemi.

He reiterated that Iran reserves the right to respond to the US government’s anti-Iran moves, and will patiently, tactfully, and prudently take action in due time in line with the interests of its people and national interests.

“Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not fall into the traps of the evil triangle of hegemony, Zionism, and Wahhabi terrorism,” he noted.

He urged US statesmen to work toward settling the numerous crises which exist in their country rather than playing a blame game and taking anti-Iran actions.

He also urged them to avoid kicking up a fuss, which has already been tested and proven futile, and not to jeopardize global peace and security any more.

Qadri Jamil, the leader of the Syrian Opposition’s Moscow Platform and leader of the People’s Will Party, sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari on Wednesday.

The meeting was held at the Moscow residence of Jaberi Ansari, who is also Iran’s senior negotiator in Astana talks on Syria.

During the meeting, Jamil presented a report on the latest developments pertaining to the Geneva conference as well as the current talks between the three opposition coalitions (Riyadh, Cairo, and Moscow).

The two sides also underlined the need for the political settlement of the Syria crisis, and stressed that Syria must not be disintegrated and that only Syrian people have the right to decide their fate.

Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh touched upon the exploration of oil resources in the Caspian Sea, and said, “We need the contribution of well-known foreign companies to explore oil reserves in the Caspian Sea.”

“With the lifting of sanctions, we hope foreign firms will invest [in oil exploration projects],” he told reporters on Tuesday, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.

He said Iran has no experience regarding oil exploration in waters as deep as 800 metres and more like in the Caspian Sea.

“In terms of financing and technology, we still have problems,” said the minister.

“Of course, we should do part of the exploration work on land in Golestan province with our own resources before moving to explore oil deposits at sea,” he said.

 

Iran to Begin Oil Swap in North of Country

Zanganeh also underlined the importance of oil swap, saying Iran has what it takes to help get the project running.

“Oil swap work is one of the important issues that we began to follow up when the 11th administration took office, and now the Islamic Republic of Iran has all the facilities and conditions required for that,” the minister said.

“As the swap path has been closed for several years, it requires time and the cooperation of other oil supplying countries to reopen it,” Zanganeh noted.

He said instructions have been issued to start oil swap work in the north of the country.

“Today, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Russia should provide raw fuel for swap work in the north, and we on the Iranian side are fully prepared in terms of facilities.”
