The ongoing war of words between Iran and the US was the top story today. US President Donald Trump’s anti-Iran tweets and the Iranian Foreign Minister’s response received great coverage.

The ban on Iranian citizens introduced by Trump and Iran’s reciprocal response also remained a top story as Iran’s Foreign Ministry barred US wrestlers from attending Iran Wrestling World Cup in reaction to the unfair ban on Iranian nationals.

The extreme cold and deadly avalanche in Iran were also widely covered. Many people have been entrapped under the snow, and three have lost their lives in an avalanche in northern Iran.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines:

The main stage of the war game kicked off on Saturday morning after five days of preparatory work.

The drill, codenamed Defenders of Velayat Sanctum, covers an area of 35,000 square kilometers in the province of Semnan, east of capital Tehran.

A range of air defense equipment are utilized in the drill, including homegrown radar and missile systems with various ranges, command and control systems and electronic warfare gear.

In December 2016, the Aerospace Division of IRGC worked in cooperation with the Army’s Air Defense in a large-scale exercise, codenamed Defenders of Velayat Skies 7.

Involving more than 17,000 military forces, the war game covered an area of 496,000 square kilometers in Iran’s southern areas, mainly the provinces of Hormozgan, Bushehr and Khuzestan.

Iran about to Lose Russia’s Food Market

The European Union slapped bans on Russia in July 2014. Russia, in response, imposed sanctions on the bloc’s agriculture sector.

Following the sanctions, Iran could have secured Russia’s food market. However, Iranian businessmen made no effort to do so despite Russia’s need for food imports, and unfortunately, Iran is likely to lose that market altogether.

According to a Farsi report by Asr-e Eqtesad newspaper, experts believe the reason why Iran has failed to capture the Russian food market was the export of products that had mediocre quality and were incompatible with the Russian culture.

The high cost prices, weak transportation infrastructure, and a lack of long-term planning were among other reasons.

Iranian tradesmen have not been able to claw back the Russian market yet, said Kaveh Zargaran, the director for food and agriculture affairs at the Iranian Chamber of Commerce.

“It has been unprecedented in the history of Iran’s non-oil exports that a country would officially want Iran to meet its market’s needs; it was a good opportunity for Iran’s economy, but was lost,” Zargaran noted.

He said the Russian food and agriculture market is worth $40 billion.

“Given the easing of tension between Russia and Turkey, we have practically lost the chance to be present in part of the market given Turkey’s economic influence and background; still, we stand a good chance [for securing the market] for some other products,” said the official.

“More than 95% of Russia’s tomato market is in Iran’s hands, and Iran could have taken the opportunity in recent months when Turkey was left out of the market, and could have secured the market,” he said.

He also weighed in on the reasons behind Iran’s failure to get its agricultural produce onto the Russia market.

One of the reasons, he noted, has been Iranian state institutions’ passivity and lassitude, especially over the past eight months, in paving the way for the country’s private sector to enter the Russian market coupled with lackluster competition among Iranian businessmen.

He reiterated Iran has missed the chance to get into the Russian market for certain products, namely raw agricultural products and tomatoes.

“Despite Turkey’s return to the [Russian] market, not all chances are lost for Iran, and we can secure a good share of the [Russian] market for other products such as dairy products,” he said.

To that end, he said, the Iranian government should re-introduce subsidies on exports, so that local businessmen and exporters will be able to compete with other countries on the Russian market.

According to a Farsi report by IRIB News Agency, early on Saturday morning, an Airbus A330-300 plane belonging to Turkish Airline departed Turkey’s Istanbul for Vietnam.

However, the critical conditions of a passenger made the pilot request permission for landing in Zahedan International Airport, southeastern Iran.

“The airplane landed at 7:35 a.m.,” announced Hassan Arabi, head of Sistan and Baluchestan province airports.

 “The patient was transferred to Khatam Hospital of Zahedan, and is being treated by the medical staff,” Arabi added.

“The airplane and its passengers are now in the airport, waiting for the final decision made on the patient’s conditions.”

Parviz Parastui, one of the most renowned Iranian actors, has reacted to the demise of a number of Koolbars [literally contraband porters] in West Azerbaijan Province by posting a photo of one of them, who had been buried under avalanche for hours before being pulled out dead.

koolbar

In a post on his Instagram page, Parastui said, “If this young man had lived somewhere else, most probably, he was attending university now.”

The photo’s caption also reads, “If he had lived somewhere else, he would have probably had an appropriate job and could go on vacation once a year. Perhaps, given his good looks, he could have become a movie star. But, here, he was a contraband porter and died under snow. May the soul of all the porters who passed away under hundredweights of snow rest in peace and happiness and their memories live on honourably.”

On February 28, 2017, four Iranian contraband porters were killed by avalanche in Sardasht County in West Azarbaijan province.

Koolbars are mostly Iranian-Kurdish nationals who carry contraband goods and other loads between Iranian border cities and Iraqi Kurdistan region for a living.

3 Killed in Avalanche as Snow Batters 18 Iranian Provinces

Several cars were trapped under the snow in the area which was battling severe weather conditions over the past couple of days, said Tehran Deputy Governor Hassan Karimi.

“Our teams managed to rescue two people trapped under the avalanche, but three others died before we could reach them,” he added.

Severe snowstorm has lashed most of the provinces since Wednesday, with avalanches on the two mountainous Haraz and Firouzkooh roads, the major routes connecting Tehran to the northern Mazandaran Province.

“There are no exact figures on how many people are missing or buried under the snow. But we’re carrying on with the search operations,” said Hossein Ketabdar, director of Iranian Red Crescent Society’s Tehran wing.

Nearly 80 roads across the country have been affected as snow and blizzard continue in 18 provinces and travelers face severe challenges in reaching their destinations, said Morteza Salimi, head of the Relief and Rescue Organization at the Iranian Red Crescent Society, ISNA reported. The IRCS reached out to 9,800 travelers in the area and over 5,320 people trapped by the snow on Firouzkooh and Haraz roads were provided emergency shelter since Thursday night.

Provinces of East and West Azarbaijan, Ardebil, Isfahan, Alborz, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi, Zanjan, Semnan, Qazvin, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Kohkilouyeh-Boyer-Ahmad, Golestan, Gilan, Mazandaran, and Markazi have been under heavy snowfall since February 1 and rescue and relief operations are continuing. The capital Tehran, where heavy snowfall has indeed become an exception in the winters in recent years, was blanketed with snow on Thursday.

While extra traffic police have been deployed to the affected areas and teams dispatched to re-open closed highways, relevant authorities and emergency services have asked people to postpone any unnecessary trips until the weather clears.

During the two-day visit, Keong will be holding meetings with Iranian Minister of Industries, Mining and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, Minister of Agriculture Mahmoud Hojjati, and the head of Iranian Parliament’s Health Commission, Ali Nobakht Haqiqi, IRNA reported.

The Malaysian delegation will take part in two seminars on wood and palm oil, and hold talks with their Iranian counterparts on expanding cooperation in the field of natural rubber.

Iran’s palm oil imports from Malaysia decreased by 19% in 2016 compared with the previous year.

Iran to Continue Enhancing Defensive Capabilities despite US Threats

“These empty threats will not stop us from pursuing the correct path of building strong defence,” said Ali Akbar Velayati, a foreign policy advisor to the Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran, as the foremost regional power with high capacities, will not bow to pressure and we will not seek permission [from foreigners] to defend ourselves,” IRNA quoted Velayati as saying on Thursday.

Velayati said it is not the first time that an “inexperienced” US official is threatening Tehran, advising the tycoon-turned-politician to use the experiences of previous American leaders.

“Time will teach Trump that mere rhetoric will only discredit him in the eyes of the public. Such behaviour will be detrimental to American people and the US national interests. The US will be the final loser,” he said.

“[Trump] should ask his predecessors about how Americans failed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria,” he noted, as reported by Financial Tribune.

Trump said on Thursday Iran had been put “on notice” for test-firing a ballistic missile that the White House says could be in violation of UN Resolution 2231.

Later on the same day, responding to a question about whether he would consider military options to respond to Iran, Trump told reporters “nothing is off the table”.

Telegram Blocks over 2,000 ISIS Channels Each Month

“Every day we block over 60 ISIS-related channels before they get any traction, more than 2,000 channels each month,” Telegram said in a post in its Twitter account.

According to a report by IFP, Telegram says the posts published in its channels are not encrypted and can be observed.

ISIS has been using Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram as the main means of its propaganda, and this has provoked widespread protests asking these apps and media to prevent the terrorists’ activities.

Telegram had earlier announced that at least 3,044 Telegram channels linked to ISIS were blocked only in January.

Iran Vows to Retaliate Fresh US Sanctions

“The Islamic Republic of Iran with the backing of the wise participation and support of the great Iranian nation, will respond proportionately and reciprocally to any move that targets the interests of the Iranian people,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

It added that Iran’s missile power is only aimed at defensive purposes and meant to carry conventional weapons and would never be used other than in legitimate defense.

The foreign ministry said Iran’s missile program is the undeniable and inalienable right of the Iranian nation according to international law and the United Nations Charter.

The statement added that any foreign interference in this regard is a violation of international law and outside the jurisdiction of any country or organization.

The ministry said the recent US sanctions are also inconsistent with US commitments and at odds with the spirit and text of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

“Just as in reaction to the Islamophobic move of the US government and the temporary prevention of the entry of Iranians, the issuance of visas was suspended for US citizens within the framework of a special mechanism, in response to the new US measure, the Islamic Republic of Iran will move to impose legal restrictions on a number of American people and entities who are involved in founding and assisting extremist terrorist groups in the region or contributing to the carnage and suppression of defenseless people in the region,” the Foreign Ministry said.

It added that the names of the banned American people and entities would be announced later.

The statement reiterated that the security of the Islamic Republic is not open to any compromise or negotiations, stressing that the naive and injudicious measures of the US government would not prevent Iran from following through with its principled policy of safeguarding peace and security in the region and combating terrorism and extremism.

The ministry also stressed that the Islamic Republic would not allow the ominous realization of the dangerous plots and delusions of the Zionist warmongers and their supporters.

The statement came after the US Treasury Department said on Friday that Washington has imposed sanctions on 13 individuals and 12 entities as part of bids to ratchet up pressure on Iran.

Iran Vows to Retaliate Fresh US Sanctions

The move against Iran is the first by the US government since President Donald Trump took office on January 20.

A senior US administration said the new sanctions were an “initial step” in response to Iran’s “provocative behavior,” adding Tehran would face more measures if it “does not curb its ballistic missile program and continues support for Houthi militia in Yemen.”

Washington claims that a recent missile test by Iran violated UN Security Council Resolution 2231 that endorsed the 2015 nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), reached between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group of countries, including the US.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said on Thursday that Iran’s “successful” recent ballistic missile test had breached the neither deal nor the resolution.

“Iran’s missile tests are not, and have never been, in violation of the JCPOA or Resolution 2231,” Dehqan added.
