North Korea Ready to Hold Talks with Trump Administration

Choe Son Hui, North Korea’s foreign ministry director general for US affairs, voiced his country’s preparedness to hold talks with Trump administration when speaking to reporters in Beijing on Saturday as she was travelling home from Norway.

“We’ll have dialogue if the conditions are there,” she said when asked if the North was preparing to hold talks with the Trump administration, Yonhap reported.

When asked if North Korea was also preparing to talk with the new government in South Korea, of liberal President Moon Jae-in, Choe said: “We’ll see.”

The comments by Choe, who is a veteran member of the North’s team of nuclear negotiators, came amid stepped up international efforts to press North Korea and ease tension over its pursuit of nuclear arms.

US President Donald Trump warned in an interview in late April that a “major, major conflict” with the North was possible but he would prefer a diplomatic outcome to the dispute over its nuclear and missile programs. Trump later said he would be “honoured” to meet the North’s leader, Kim Jong Un, under the right conditions.

General Maan al-Saadi said Baghdadi has fled to an unknown location and could be plotting further international attacks.

Saadi said that ISIS has been majorly pushed back in Mosul and that the extremists “no longer feel they have a place” in the city following the liberation of many neighbourhoods, Al Arabiya reported.

In March, Baghdadi issued a statement acknowledging the group’s defeat in Iraq, as he urged supporters to either hide or flee, Iraqi television network, Alsumaria, quoted local sources as saying.

According to the sources in the Iraqi governorate of Nineveh, Baghdadi’s statement was titled ‘farewell speech’ and was distributed among ISIS’ preachers and clerics

Rouhani to Work for Removal of Non-Nuclear Sanctions If Re-Elected

Rouhani to Work for Removal of Non-Nuclear Sanctions If Re-Elected

“After removal of nuclear sanctions, I am prepared to have other anti-Iran sanctions removed in the coming four years,” Rouhani said during the third and final live presidential debate on Friday night.

He referred to his success in removing the nuclear-related sanctions, and stressed that he will restore dignity to the Iranian nation and secure their national interests by working for removal of non-nuclear sanctions.

Removing the nuclear sanctions was among Rouhani’s campaign promises in 2013, and according to his administration, all nuclear-related sanctions, except for certain restrictions in banking, have been lifted following the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

However, the removal of non-nuclear sanctions, which have been mainly imposed based on human rights allegations, seems to be a tough issue.

What makes it even more difficult for Rouhani is that the majority of non-nuclear sanctions are imposed by the US and its Congress, and Iran’s Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has clearly banned any non-nuclear talks with Washington.

Rouhani’s Ministers Launch Campaign against Qalibaf

Mohammad-Bagher-Ghalibaf

Qalibaf, who is one of the six candidates contesting in Iran’s May 19 presidential election, in the second live TV debate on May 5, called on his rival Hassan Rouhani and other state officials to declare their wealth.

According to a report by IFP, Qalibaf had noted that “it must be clear what [property and possessions] we and our next of kin, including our wives, children, sisters and brothers have, what we do and where we live.”

In reaction to his challenge, three ministers of Rouhani’s government expressed readiness to exchange their belongings and properties with him.

First, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh announced readiness to exchange his belongings with those of the incumbent Tehran mayor. And next, the country’s minister of roads and urban development, Abbas Akhoundi, and Economy Minister Ali Tayyebnia made the same offer.

In his video, Zanganeh said, “I have been minister for close to 25 years. During this period, I have headed the Oil Ministry for more than 12 years. In fact, I work at a ministry which earns the highest income and boasts the highest turnover among other organizations. If I had been supposed to amass wealth, I should have had the highest income and largest number of possessions.”

He further called on Qalibaf to exchange their belongings and properties with each other.

“I mean I will transfer whatever belongs to me and my family to Qalibaf and he transfers the possessions he and his family have to me. It is very simple. In case his is ready, at his earliest convenience, we can go to a notary public office and do this. I am ready.”

Zanganeh added he has declared his wealth to the Judiciary for several times and has been quite transparent about his possessions.

Hours after Zanganeh made these remarks, Akhoundi and Tayyebnia announced that they are also ready for an exchange of possessions with Qalibaf.

In response to the proffer made by the Rouhani administration’s ministers, Qalibaf said on Thursday (May 11) he is ready to exchange all his belongings and properties and those of the members of his family with only half of Rouhani’s house.

Rouhani to Use Non-Oil Exports, Tourism to Create More Jobs

Unveiling his plans for the next four-year presidential term in case of re-election, Rouhani said in a television talk show on Thursday night that strengthening the medium-scale and small-scale enterprises would allow for the creation of more than 900,000 jobs every year.

Highlighting his administration’s success to achieve the economic growth of 8 percent last year, Rouhani said the steady creation of almost one million jobs per annum will re-occur in accordance with the country’s long-term development plans.

He also dismissed as ill-advised the campaign pledges by certain candidates to create millions of jobs in the short term.

President Rouhani further pointed to his cabinet’s success to provide 100,000 job opportunities only in the new technologies sector and Internet-based industries.

He also unveiled a grand plan to enroll the unskilled university graduates, provide them with vocational training for four months, and pay them a third of a monthly salary until they are recruited.

Hailing a 25 percent growth in Iran’s non-oil exports during his term, Rouhani said he would intensify efforts to boost and intensify exports.

He finally referred to the tourism industry as a perfect opportunity for creating jobs rapidly and with low costs.

Rouhani, 69, has been campaigning for the May 19 election along with five other candidates, namely Ebrahim Raisi, Eshaq Jahangiri, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Mostafa Hashemitaba, and Mostafa Aqa-Mirsalim.

In comments on Wednesday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei recommended the six candidates to focus on economic issues and the plans to improve the livelihood of people in their campaign pledges, urging them also to pay special attention to “national sovereignty” and the Iranian nation’s dignity in their electoral campaign.

“We Won’t Give Away a Single Dollar in Crescent Case”

The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and the UAE’s Crescent Petroleum signed a 25-year deal in 2001 for the export of 17 million cubic meter of gas per day from Iran’s Salman field in the Persian Gulf to the UAE.  However, the deal was suspended and became a subject of controversy in Iran in 2005.

At the heart of the issue – that is still mentioned by the media and officials as the Crescent controversy – was the gas pricing formula, as reported by Press TV. Critics of the deal in Tehran maintained that the price agreed on in the contract was 14 times below the market price.

Crescent Petroleum eventually sought an international arbitration through The Hague over its dispute with NIOC in 2009 and it said in 2014 that it had won the case. The company said an international tribunal had determined that “the 25-year contract between it and NIOC is valid and binding upon the parties, and that NIOC has been obligated to deliver gas under the contract since December 2005.”

We Won’t Give Away a Single Dollar in Crescent CaseNow Iranian presidential candidate Ebrahim Raisi says, if elected, his administration will not let the Emirati company receive a single dollar from Iran on the disputed deal. Here are excerpts from his remarks in a recent interview:

We will not give anyone even a single dollar from the Crescent agreement. We will commission an experienced, honest and diplomatic team to study the matter. We will not give even a single dollar, let alone $14 billion, to any one in a deal concluded based on corruption.

We said “They’re misleading people” on the Crescent deal. But now they bring up the issue of “concerts” and all to deflect attention from the Crescent issue.

Eight people were convicted in phase one of the case. But why the convicts banned from assuming public office were employed by government institutions again? Such moves are not in conformity with the slogan of “fighting corruption.”

Now, they’re asking for the judicial proceedings to be halted in order to settle the issue through negotiations!

How is it that the two sides of the legal case are holding talks with one another? It is pretty obvious that it would be fruitless.

In the Work and Dignity administration, we will deal with the corrupt people who inflicted this loss on the country, and will assign an experienced, honest and diplomatic team to follow up the issue.

IRGC’s Underground Missile Cities Secure Iran’s Industry: Commander

Addressing the graduation ceremony of IRGC cadets attended by the Leader of Iran’s Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, General Jafari said “Iranian people are pleased today that our [underground] missile cities guarantee the security of industrial towns in the country.”

His remarks seemed to be made in reaction to President Hassan Rouhani who criticized the IRGC for displaying underground missile cities and writing anti-Israeli slogans on missiles in an attempt to spoil the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

Elsewhere in his remarks, General Jafari also noted that the IRGC feels duty-bound to help the deprived and poor people in Iran, according to a report by IFP.

“Ending poverty and deprivation is a major and fundamental goal [for the IRGC], just as targeting Haifa and Tel Aviv is,” he added.
