Iran Says New US Sanctions Illegal, Insulting

By

Bahram Qassemi

“The US House of Representatives, with the adoption of these non-nuclear sanctions, and in the event of its finalization and implementation, would ignore and threaten the implementation of a multilateral and international agreement that is the result of efforts made in several years,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said in a statement on Wednesday

Referring to the long history of the US Congress’ actions against the Iranian nation, Qassemi stressed that Washington has commitments to fulfil as per the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1, also known as JCPOA.

“A country’s domestic regulations and approvals cannot be used as a pretext for governments to evade their international responsibility,” he noted.

“Therefore, since the Islamic Republic of Iran has so far fully complied with its commitments as acknowledged by the IAEA and the P5+1 group of countries, it expects the other parties to the JCPOA, including the US government, to comply with their commitments,” Qassemi noted.

Tehran will carefully review the text and provisions of the US House’s bill if it is approved, he noted, adding, “The Islamic Republic believes that the provisions of the bill do not comply with the spirit and provisions of the JCPOA.”

“Therefore, as previously stated, Iran will take proportional countermeasures in line with its national interests,” he went on to say.

Qassemi said Iran’s foreign ministry considers the provisions of the bill regarding Iran’s military and missile capabilities totally unlawful, unjustified and unfounded.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s principled policy in the region is to fight against terrorism and to maintain collective security and good neighbourliness. Moreover, Iran’s missile program is also in line with the UNSC Resolution 2231 and nothing can prevent the Islamic Republic from pursuing and implementing the principled policy of increasing its defence capabilities,” he pointed out.

“The US congressmen accuse Iran of destabilizing the region while their government, by invading Iraq, had a key role in creating such terrorist groups as ISIS. The increase of instability and the current extremism in this region are the results of the unconsidered and irresponsible policies of this country and its regional allies,” Qassemi added.

Iran to Give Proportionate Response to New US Sanctions: Rouhani

Speaking during the cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Rouhani said, the Iranian Parliament would adopt reciprocal measures in response to the US sanctions.

And we will take any step that we deem necessary in line with the interests of our country, and we would continue our path without paying attention to their (Americans’) sanctions and policies,” stressed the Iranian chief executive.

Iranian people, he added, are used to “US hostilities” and know well how to counter them.

Over the past 40 years, the Iranians have been subject to sanctions, pressure and false accusations by American politicians and propaganda apparatus, he added.

The US is not only hostile to Iran’s Islamic establishment, but also to the Iranian nation’s resistance, Rouhani noted, stressing that Washington cannot accept the country as a role model for independence in the region.

President Rouhani noted that the US has no other alternative but to pursue peace and respect the Iranian nation’s rights and the Islamic Revolution and the establishment.

US to Kill JCPOA by Passing New Anti-Iran Sanctions: Deputy FM

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Ministry for Legal and International Affairs, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, said on Wednesday the discussions underway in the US Congress to pass a new law against Iran, North Korea and Russia amount to a totally hostile move against these countries.

Speaking on the sidelines of a seminar in Tehran, Araqchi said Iran will give a crushing response to the United States’ next move.

“Over the past years, we have always been targeted by the US government and Congress’ hostile moves and the hostilities are not limited to the incumbent government and congress,” he said.

According to a Farsi Report by ISNA, he went on saying that the anti-Iran bill which is under discussion in the US Congress does not impose new sanctions against the Islamic Republic in new fields. “The new law, if approved, is in fact a wrap-up of all the US sanctions imposed on Iran over the past years in non-nuclear fields,” Araqchi noted.

The Iranian diplomat also warned that the new law, if approved, will hamper the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and also deprive Iran of its rights under the nuclear deal.

“The new law violates various articles of the JCPOA. The US was obliged to fulfil its pledges under the deal with goodwill and a constructive approach and avoid any move violating its implementation. These are parts of the US commitments under the deal,” he added.

The deputy foreign minister also said the US House’s move stands in stark contrast with these commitments and Iran will never remain silent towards the violation.

In response to a question on the latest threats against Iran made by the US officials on the implementation of the JCPOA, Araqchi said over the past six months the new US government has been forced to confirm Iran’s full commitment to the JCPOA twice.

“The US had no other choice but to admit Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA because the International Atomic Energy Agency has for several times explicitly confirmed Iran’s commitment to the nuclear deal in its reports,” he said.

While the US government recently certified Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal for the second time, there are rumours that they will not do so three months later, when the US government is due to confirm Iran’s commitment to the JCPOA, Araqchi said.

Iran will wait for the US next move, and will give an appropriate response based on their actions, he vowed.

“The important point is that the US government on July 18 confirmed Iran’s full compliance with the JCPOA and renewed the suspension of anti-Iran sanctions,” he noted.

Araqchi once again referred to the new anti-Iran law under discussion in the US Congress and said the law, if approved, would be a wrap-up of the current sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran in various fields including terrorism, human rights, and missile and arms programs.

“Though the new law will impose no new sanction on Iran in a new field, it can hamper the implementation of the JCPOA,” he said.

Iranian Cancer Kid Fulfils Dream of Being a Groom

Saleh, who has been diagnosed with cancer for a long time, is now receiving treatment at Baqaei Hospital of Ahvaz.

According to a Farsi report by the Fararu news website, Saleh along with his grandfather came to Ahvaz for chemotherapy about 2 weeks ago, but his grandfather could not accompany him in the hospital. Therefore, a group of anonymous helpers took care of Saleh in the hospital.

Hoda Rashidi, a member of the “Anonymous Helpers Group”, and the organizer of the ceremony said that Saleh once told one of the group’s members that his biggest dream is to put on the groom’s suit.

Iranian Cancer Kid Fulfils Dream of Being a Groom“This seven-year-old child suffered a lot during the treatment, which made us make fulfilment of his dream a priority,” she added.

“We wanted to hold this ceremony as soon as possible, so we called for benefactors’ help via ‘Ahvaz Sky’ Instagram page. Many citizens welcomed the idea and it gave us more encouragement.”

“Finally, we could arrange everything including the hairdressing, atelier, decorations, gifts and the hall for the ceremony. Seven male members of the group were also chosen as the best men.

The groom’s suit and all the decorations were chosen red at Saleh’s request,” Rashidi noted.

“On the feast day, the guests were waiting for the arrival of the little groom. But his haircut and dressing took more than usual time. Apparently, his illness did not let him be on his own even on this special day.

Finally, the little groom ran his wheelchair from a decorated car. The guests were crying while the music and Bakhtiari folk dance were being performed. Saleh was taken to the hospital at the end of the ceremony while his pain was relieved a little and he was laughing from the heart,” Rashidi went on.

Iranian Cancer Kid Fulfils Dream of Being a GroomShe said that Saleh was re-admitted to the intensive care unit, and in the following days, he got better and for the moment has been released.

“Saleh is the 200th child whose dream is fulfilled. He is also the twentieth kid who we managed to perform a field ceremony for him.”

According to Rashidi, so far, 15 kids whose dreams achieved have improved completely.

Helping fulfilment of cancer kids’ wishes is an idea that Rashidi, one of the Ahvazi benefactor women and the Director of the Cultural Institute ‘Fifth Beautiful Season’, has been developing since 2016.

‘Bashir’ was the first cancer patient to achieve his dream under this plan. This 12-year-old boy hoped to have a clean city. On January 14, 2016, with the cooperation of the people, Salman Farsi (Naderi) street of Ahvaz, which is the central market and one the most crowded streets of the city, was cleaned. Bashir is now completely healed.

After that, it was the turn of 13-year-old Abbas, who had a dream of becoming a policeman. On January 2016, he symbolically became the chief of a police station in Ahvaz.  This young man, however, could not get rid of the disease. He died in June 2016.

Iran Ranks First Worldwide in Sponge Iron Production

Managing Director of National Iranian Steel Company (NISCO) Abdol-Majid Sharifi says at present, Iran ranks first worldwide in sponge iron production and 14th in steel production.

Sharifi said Iran is currently the world’s biggest producer of sponge iron, adding the country has produced 30 percent of the world’s annual DRI since 2015.

The NISCO CEO put Iran’s annual sponge iron production capacity at 19.5 million tonnes in 2013, saying the figure currently stands at 25.5 million tonnes.

He added with the completion of a number of new projects, currently underway in the country, by October, Iran’s annual sponge iron output capacity is expected to reach 31.5 million tonnes by March 2018.

 

Iran, World’s 14th Steel Producer

He said in 2013, Iran’s annual steel production capacity stood at 22 million tonnes.

Currently, he added, the figure stands at 31 million tonnes thanks to efforts by the incumbent government which took office in 2013.

It will increase by 2 million tonnes by the end of the current Iranian year, which started mid-March 2017, he added, according to a Farsi report by the Soroosh News Agency.

Sharifi said in 2015, Iran’s annual steel output exceeded 16.7 million tonnes and in 2016, it hit a record of more than 18 million tonnes.

“This year’s annual target has been set at 20 million tonnes.”

 

Raw Steel World Ranking

Iran’s performance during the first five months of 2017 shows that the country has accounted for 64 percent of the Middle East’s raw steel production in this time-span, Sharifi added.

As stipulated in Iran’s Vision 2025, the country is expected to jump seven spots in the world ranking to No. 7 in raw steel production with an annual output capacity of 55 million tonnes. At present, Iran stands 14th in the global ranking.

The NISCO chief said global steel production in the first five months of 2017 witnessed a 4.5-percent increase compared to the figure for the same time-span in 2016.

This comes as Iran’s steel production in the same duration was 13.1 percent higher than the country’s five-month output in 2016, he added.

“Iran’s year-on-year steel production growth in the said period of time was three times higher than that of the world.”

Latest statistics show that Iran’s raw steel exports during March 21-June 21, 2017, stood at 1.675 million tonnes, indicating a 67-percent growth compared to the figure for the same period last year, which was 1.016 million tonnes.

The country’s annual raw steel overseas sales are expected to exceed 15 million tonnes by 2025.

In 2015 and 2016, Iran exported 4.2 million tonnes and 6 million tonnes of raw steel respectively.

Iranian Woman Fights Addiction, Poverty to Become Entrepreneur

Iranian Woman Fights Addiction, Poverty to Become Entrepreneur

Fariba is the owner of an herbs shop. She buys different types of medicinal plants from rural women and sells them.

According to a Farsi report by the Shabestan News Agency, the shop not only cures people’s pains, but also remedies pains in Fariba’s personal life.

Along with her 13-year-old daughter, she manages the business. The income is enough to earn a living.

Her past is not as colourful as the herbs at the store, but she is doing her best to make her future beautiful.

Fariba is from the Northern Khorasan province in northeastern Iran. Her husband died in an accident in 2011.

Fariba and her husband were drug addicts and spent all they had on drugs. When her husband died, she had no one to take care of her. The Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (IKRF) started supporting her.

“I have two kids. An 18-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. When my second child was born, I had severe backache and my mother-in-law gave me drugs for treatment. I used the drugs for a month and then I became a drug addict. My husband was an addict too, but was opposed to my drug abuse. He did his utmost not to see me as an addict, but I couldn’t quit. I was taking drugs from my mother-in-law and my husband was no longer able to stop me,” she said.

“When my husband died, we didn’t have anything. I used to get money from my relatives to spend on drugs. I would call them on some pretexts to get money. Sometimes I beat my daughter to make her cry in order to pretend that she is sick. This was a trick to get money from them. I was spending the cash on drugs and foods.”

“My brother used to be a drug addict, but he had quitted 11 years ago. He didn’t like to visit me. He was telling me that he’s feeling shame to have a sister like me.  Sometimes, I missed my family and I would go to visit them, but they thought I’d come to get money to spend on drugs,” Fariba said.

“My children did not respect me. I felt so humiliated in my family. Tired of such a life, I begged God just to let me die. One day my brother asked me to get over addiction. Finally, I was in a room for a week telling myself either I would die or I quit. It’s been six years since I quitted and my dignity is retained.”

Fariba received 150 million rials (about 4,000 US dollars) from the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation as loan. Then she rented a house and started the herbs shop.

“I earn my living in this shop and I’m glad to have such a social status. I want to get a loan of 300 million rials (about 8,000 US dollars) from the Foundation to buy the machines needed to process herbal medicines to get more customers,” she went on to say.

It has been about a year that Fariba has a job. She has stood on her own feet and fought with poverty and addiction. She is not receiving the foundation’s pension anymore, because now she is able to make a living.

IRGC 'Neutralizes' US Vessel's Provocation in Persian Gulf

Earlier on Tuesday, a US official was quoted by media as saying that warning shots were fired from a US Navy vessel towards an Iranian boat north of the Persian Gulf.

The official claimed that the warning shots by US vessel happened after the Iranian ship came within 137 meters of it.

In reply the IRGC third naval zone said that its forces neutralized the US vessel’s provocative move.

“This morning, a US military ship in the north of the Persian Gulf sailed toward an IRGC Navy’s patrol ship, which was patrolling in international waters, and fired two shots into the air for provocation and intimidation,” the IRGC said in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement added that “the IRGC Navy’s vessel paid no attention to the provocative and unprofessional move” by the US ship and continued with its mission and after a while the US Navy ship left the area.

Iran, S. Korea Hold Joint Seminar on Intellectual Property

Iran May Reconsider Ties with S Korea over Frozen Assets: MP

“The cooperation between Tehran and Seoul in the field of intellectual property rights is of great significance especially because South Korea is one of the main economic partners of Iran in the Asia and the world,” said Head of the Intellectual Property Office at Iran’s Judiciary, Ahmad Ali Mohsenzadeh.

Addressing the joint seminar between Iran and South Korea on the intellectual property, Mohsenzadeh also said the first seminar on intellectual property between the two countries is aimed at making the South Korean investors more familiar with the relevant laws in Iran to pave the way for their investment in the country.

“Iran attaches great significance to the seminar particularly because our resistance economy is a knowledge economy,” he said, according to a Farsi report by ILNA.

The Iranian official went on saying that last week he hosted a group of managers and investors from South Korea in Tehran.

“The meeting was organized by South Korea’s embassy in Tehran and during the meeting, we took advantage of the South Korean managers and investors’ experiences,” he said.

He said South Korea is among the pioneering countries in the field of intellectual property and expressed the hope that the joint seminar would serve as prelude to more and larger training seminars on the intellectual property.

Meanwhile, South Korean ambassador to Tehran said, for his part, the joint seminar would provide companies in his country with more knowledge about the Iranian laws in the area of intellectual property.

The familiarization can foster bilateral ties, Kim Seung-ho said. He further descried the intellectual property as a base for the two countries’ economies.

He added that today’s knowledge knows no limit and the intellectual property rights are established to promote the rights.

Intellectual property refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners by law and intellectual property rights are the rights granted to the creators of IP and include trademarks, copyright, patents, and industrial design rights.
