Plane Carrying Turkish FM Denied Landing in Netherlands

The Netherlands’ decision to bar Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s plane from landing came after he said he would travel to Rotterdam, despite a ban on him addressing a rally there.

The Dutch are due to vote in a national election on Wednesday, in which anti-immigration sentiment has played a prominent role.

Rutte said in a statement published on his official Facebook page that Turkey had upset discussions under which Cavusoglu would have been allowed to enter the country, by calling for a massive public rally.

A Turkish threat of sanctions if Cavusoglu were denied entry “made a reasonable solution impossible”, Rutte said.

Iran Claims Title in AFC Soccer Beach Championship

Team Melli edged the UAE 7-2 in the match held in Pantai Batu Buruk, Kuala Terengganu on Saturday.

The Iranians had punched their ticket to the continental final, and a spot at Bahamas 2017, after a closely fought 8-6 semi-final win over Japan in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia on Friday, while the Emiratis reached the last two and clinched a place at the world showpiece event following a roller-coaster win of their own over Lebanon.

Earlier in the day, Japan defeated Lebanon 6-3 to claim third place at the AFC Beach Soccer Championship and book the last Asian ticket to the 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in the Bahamas.

Iran, the UAE, and Japan will fly the Asian flag at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup to be held in Bahamas capital city Nassau from April 27 to May 7.

Iran’s Second Airbus Plane Lands in Tehran

Iran's Second Airbus Plane

The Airbus A330-200 took off from the French city of Toulouse on Saturday and landed at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport later in the day.

The aircraft had been officially delivered to Iran earlier in Toulouse. It will now be operated by Iran’s national flag carrier Iran Air.

The plane, which has 32 business class and 206 economy class seats, is suitable for long-distance flights.

Its delivery to Iran was made possible under a 18-billion-dollar deal Iran signed with Airbus last year to purchase 100 new planes, including 46 aircraft from the A320 family, 38 from the A330 family, and 16 from the A350 XWB.

The first Airbus plane — an A320 — arrived in Tehran on January 11.

In 2016, Iran inked another agreement worth 16.6 billion dollars to buy 80 new planes from US aviation company Boeing, comprising 50 737 airliners and 30 777s.

Iran Air is also expected to finalize an accord with European manufacturer ATR to purchase 20 turboprops.

The agreements came after the restrictions imposed on Iran’s aviation industry were lifted following a nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The JCPOA was negotiated between Iran and the P5+1 countries — the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany. It was finalized on July 14, 2015 and started being implemented on January 16, 2016.

Under the deal, limits were put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related bans against the Islamic Republic.

Iran to Join FATF by May: Central Bank Governor

Iran to Join FATF

“We have until May n to complete efforts needed to become an FATF member and with the planning and endeavors undertaken so far, we will achieve the standards required for membership,” Valiollah Seif also said in a talk with the Persian-language Khorasan newspaper, IBENA reported.

The intergovernmental FATF, which is the global standard-setting body for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), welcomed Tehran’s initiative to conform to its international standards in late June and called for a one-year suspension of restrictions.

On February 24, the organization issued a public statement, noting that “if FATF determines that Iran has not demonstrated sufficient progress in implementing the action plan at the end of that period, FATF’s counter-measures will be reimposed”.

However, “if Iran meets its commitments under the action plan in this period, FATF will consider next steps”.

Responding to allegations that Iran may be placed on the blacklist of uncooperative states, Seif said, “We never announced that the country has been permanently removed from the list, rather we have managed to have countermeasures against Iran suspended, which was an important step.”

The CBI governor reiterated that regulations and standards required to become an FATF member do not call for sharing sensitive information or appeasing the organization, but “are actions that ensure we will prevent money laundering within the banking system and not serve terrorists”.

Compliance Update

Conforming to these standards and installing the necessary software not only work to make the country immune against “banking corruption”, Seif said, but will also prepare the grounds for Iran’s FATF membership.

FATF’s latest public statement prompted a senior lawmaker to lambast the organization, saying it will be illogical and unacceptable for the organization to “threaten Iran”.

“The conditions of FATF action plan have been defined, but if they reckon for any reason that Iran is not cooperating and put the country on its blacklist again, it would be unacceptable,” Mohammad Reza Pour-Ebrahimi, who heads Majlis Economic Commission, said last week.

Pour-Ebrahimi added that if the organization continues to treat Iran in this manner, the parliament would likely decide to end the country’s cooperation with FATF.

Seif, however, saw it unlikely that things will get to that point and said with the AML/CFT measures approved in the parliament so far, “we believe we can complete our efforts by [May] and join the FATF”.

In March 2016, the Iranian Parliament adopted an Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism law and declared its high-level political commitment to implement an action plan. Iranian authorities have requested an assessment by the International Monetary Fund on Iran’s compliance with the AML/CFT regime against the FATF standards, which will take place late 2018.

Since 2015-16, Iran has also became an observer in the Eurasian AML/CFT group following the adoption of a high-level action plan with FATF.

Iran Blasts Saudi Airstrike on Civilians in Yemen

Expressing condolences to the families of victims of the attack on a local market in Khawkhah district, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi denounced the Saudi strikes against residential areas and the kingdom’s move to block rescue operations by the international organizations as a “violation of human rights.”

He also called on the United Nations and the other responsible international bodies to address the civilian deaths in Yemen, push for an immediate halt to the Saudi attacks, and ensure the security of civilians, particularly women and children.

At least 26 people were killed and 10 others injured in Yemen’s Khawkhah district on Friday when Saudi warplanes launched an airstrike.

According to al-Masirah TV, Saudi Arabia carried sorties over the area, preventing ambulances from reaching the victims.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a number of its Arab allies have been launching airstrikes against Yemen with the purpose of restoring power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

“Candidates’ Election Costs Should Be Transparent to People”

“Candidates’ Election Costs Should Be Transparent to People”

In an interview with ICANA, Iranian lawmaker Ahmad Amirabadi said election expenses should be completely transparent to the people.

He said there is no law in Iran which obliges candidates to declare their election costs, but the Parliament’s Councils and National Affairs Commission should step in and take care of the issue.

“After the [May] presidential vote and before the next parliamentary election, there will be a good opportunity to fill the legal void in this area,” said Amirabadi, who is also a member of the commission.

“There are questions which need to be answered; how can a candidate spend billions [of rials] on elections? How much is an MP’s salary, after all?” he asked.

Of course, no one can claim that all candidates spend huge sums of money on their election campaigns, but there are some contenders who spend extravagantly to garner more votes.
