Several newspapers covered the controversy sparked by the presence of a number of Iranian ministers and officials in a ceremony in Swedish ambassador’s house in Tehran and the deals signed during the ceremony.

They also covered the ongoing crisis in Iran’s southwestern province Khuzestan, particularly the dust pollution and its harmful effects on citizens.

The new oil reserves discovered in Iran and the snow and rain that have hit several Iranian provinces were among other top stories today.

Rouhani- Travel

Heading a high-ranking delegation, Rouhani will arrive in the Omani capital of Muscat on Wednesday morning at the official invitation of Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the deputy head for communications and information at the Iranian president’s office, Parviz Esmaeili, said.

He further said the president plans to hold talks with senior Omani officials and attend a meeting of high-ranking delegations of Iran and Oman.

Esmaeili went on to say that President Rouhani will leave Muscat for Kuwait City on Wednesday afternoon at the official invitation Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and hold negotiations with him and other senior officials of the Arab country.

Iran and Kuwait have developed closer political relations in recent years, and have held several sessions of a Joint Political Committee.

In late January, Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid al-Hamad al-Sabah paid a visit to Tehran and held meetings with senior Iranian officials, including President Hassan Rouhani.

Iran Urges West to Make Amends for Shortfalls in Nuclear Deal Implementation

“As verified by supervisory bodies, the Islamic Republic of Iran has fulfilled all its obligations but the success of the JCPOA [the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], hinges on [efforts] by Western countries to make up for their shortcomings,” Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said in a meeting with Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn in Tehran on Monday.

He added that all parties to the JCPOA must “unabatedly implement their obligations” under the deal.

The JCPOA is an international and binding agreement, he stressed.

Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China – plus Germany started implementing the JCPOA on January 16, 2016.

Iran Urges West to Make Amends for Shortfalls in Nuclear Deal Implementation

Under the agreement, Iran accepted to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.

The SNSC secretary also welcomed the expansion of long-term and lasting cooperation between Iran and Luxembourg in economy, banking and insurance sectors.

He stressed the importance of developing cooperation between Iran and independent countries based on mutual respect and common interests.

“In the era following the [implementation of] the JCPOA and the removal of the obstacle of sanctions, Luxembourg can tap into the broad existing capacities in Iran for investments,” Shamkhani said.

‘European countries seek broad cooperation with Iran’

Luxembourg’s foreign minister, for his part, said the JCPOA implementation created opportunities for the expansion of relations between Iran and European states.

Asselborn added that European countries were pursuing an approach, particularly after the deal’s implementation, to strengthen all-out cooperation with Iran and increase investment in infrastructure areas with the purpose of establishing sustainable economic relations.

He also praised Iran’s positive role in fighting terrorist groups and called for more consultations and cooperation between the two countries in this regard.

Heading a high-ranking political delegation, Asselborn arrived in Tehran Sunday night for an official two-day visit to hold talks with senior Iranian officials.

He paid a visit to Tehran in November 2015 and held talks with top Iranian officials, including President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

JCPOA opens up prospects for Iran-Europe ties: Zarif

Also in a meeting with Asselborn, the Iranian foreign minister said the implementation of the JCPOA offered new prospects for the bolstering of relations between the Islamic Republic and European countries.

Zarif added that Iran was determined to enhance cooperation with member countries of the European Union.

Pointing to the favorable grounds for joint venture between Tehran and Luxembourg City, he expressed Iran’s readiness to improve banking cooperation with Luxembourg.

Asselborn also said the two countries would sign agreements to boost cooperation in different fields during his visit.

Michael Flynn and Trump

Flynn, who was known as an Islamophobe, resigned following mounting scrutiny over his conflicting accounts of contacts with a Russian diplomat and reports that they were part of a federal investigation.

Flynn’s departure marked another embarrassing setback for an administration just over three weeks old, on a subject that has for months given pause to both Democrats and Republicans — connections between Trump and Russia.

Retired General Keith Kellogg, who has been the chief of staff at the National Security Council, has been named acting national security adviser, Reuters reported.

Americans First to Arrive in Iran’s Kermanshah for Wrestling World Cup

Wrestling-US

American wrestlers were the first ones to arrive in Kermanshah for Iran Wrestling World Cup.

 

They arrived in Tehran on Monday morning after the Iranian Foreign Ministry decided to grant them visa in spite of the US President’s visa ban for Iranian nationals.

“Following the court ruling suspending Muslim Ban and [based on] the requests from Iranian Wrestling Federation and FILA, US Wrestlers’ visa will be granted,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had noted in a post in his Twitter account.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi also said that the decision [to give the Americans Iran’s visa] was taken after the “biased” restrictions on Iranian citizens’ entry to the US were lifted.

Back on February 3, Iran had declared it would bar the US wrestling team from the Freestyle World Cup competition in retaliation for an executive order by US President Donald Trump banning visas for Iranians.

The Freestyle World Cup, one of the sport’s most prestigious events, is scheduled for Feb. 16-17 and USA Wrestling had previously said it would send a team to the competition.

Trump’s Behaviour Can Cripple US Ruling System: Iranian MP

With only three weeks since taking office as the US President, Donald Trump has caused such a turmoil in his country and the world through his decisions [such as the travel ban order] that has thrown the entire US ruling system into disorder.

On January 27, Trump signed an executive order temporarily banning citizens and immigrants of seven Muslim countries, including Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq from entering the US.

The order, however, was later annulled by a US federal judge, and Trump’s appeal was also rejected in the US Court of Appeals.

Currently, the Supreme Court of the United States is the only remaining judicial body in the country to settle out the legal dispute between the Trump administration and the country’s courts of appeals, according to a report by IFP.

Hossein Naqavi Hosseini
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini

Commenting on Trump’s policies and the current tumult they have thrown the US and world into, Seyyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, the spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran’s Parliament, said Trump’s undignified, unwise and racist moves and measures have overshadowed the American people’s lives and the US society.

“The outrage expressed by giant technology companies and factories as well as the riots started by American and non-American people over the past few days are all violent reactions provoked by Trump’s policies.”

The US economic system has been set up on the basis of immigrants who constitute the country’s cheap workforce, he said, adding it was quite predictable that Trump’s decisions and behaviour would spark off social riots and the US judicial system’s reaction.

“Interesting among the issues pertaining to the US courts of appeals is that although the country’s judicial system [itself] is accused of passing racist verdicts, it has decided to oppose Trump in the wake and face of his decisions.”

Pointing to the recent remarks made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian lawmaker said Trump has honestly displayed the US violent and racist face.

He stressed that Trump is a reflection of the US identity crisis, whose coming to power has been accompanied by the exposure of the country’s social crises.

However, Naqavi Hossein added, by rescinding his order, the US judicial system seeks to cover up the severity of these crises.

“What we witness today in Trump’s behaviour — which involves humiliating other nationalities — has roots in the US history and the way America, as a sovereign state, was formed.

“Trump is a fruit of the slavery system used in the US in the 19th century which forced coloured people into compulsory labour and led to the genocide of indigenous Americans [Indians].”

In case Trump continues to display his current behaviour, the US will be caught in a dilemma which would prove quite costly for the country and will definitely cripple its ruling system, he went on to say.

Controversy over Iran-Sweden Deals Signed in Ambassador’s ‘House’

Iran-Sweden Deals

Several Iranian media outlets criticized the signing of MoUs between Iran and Sweden in a ceremony held in Swedish Ambassador’s place of residence in Tehran.

The ceremony was attended by Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and several Iranian officials including Trade Minister Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian, and Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi.

Conservative newspaper Kayhan referred to the ceremony as a questionable and unexpected move, and said it humiliates the Iranian nation.

“The photos of the ceremony show the female members of the Swedish delegation are not wearing Islamic hijab, and it is said the Swedish PM and ambassador had insisted that the ceremony is held in the ambassador’s house so that they could appear without hijab,” Kayhan added.

However, Swedish Ambassador to Tehran Helena Sangeland told IFP that the “MoUs [were] signed there [in the envoy’s place of residence] in the interest of time and where our PM could officiate. Other MoUs [were] signed at Saadabad [Palace].”

She also stressed in her tweet “that this was at the Official Residence, it is not “my house”.”

Bahram GhasemiMeanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi also dismissed the reports and said, “No official deal or document was signed between Iran and Sweden in the Ambassador’s residence. They were just some deals between the two countries’ private sectors.”

Plasco Shop Owners Resettled in New Commercial Centre

Plasco shopping centre, one of Tehran’s oldest high-rise buildings, collapsed after a huge fire in January. Having served as an important commercial centre, the disaster caused extensive financial damages to the shop owners.

A few weeks later, the Mostazafan Foundation of Iran, which has been the owner of Plasco since the Islamic Revolution, decided to resettle these shop owners, the majority of whom were shirt producers and sellers, in another shopping centre.

According to a Farsi report by Khabar Online, Javad Doroudian Noqousian, the head of Iran shirt tailors and traders’ syndicate, announced that the Noor Shopping Center in the junction of Tehran’s Taleqani and Vali-e Asr streets has been finally chosen as the new work place of Plasco shopkeepers.

“There are more than 1,000 available shops in this complex,” he said. “So the Plasco tradesmen can easily take their places there, as they have already been resettled in 200 units.”

He then referred to the problems of settlement, and said, “Some units are located in the less frequented areas of Noor Shopping Centre, which led to Plasco shop keepers’ protest. We are trying to solve this problem.”

The damaged tradesmen who rent the units of Noor Shopping Centre, owned by several Iranian banks, will work in it for free until May.

“Until May, the Mostazafan Foundation will pay the rent,” Doroudian added. “Then the monthly rent of each unit will be $11.7 a square metre. That said, about $390 should be paid for a 30-square-metre shop.”

Blues Punish Complacent Reds

Supported by partisan fans outnumbering their counterparts in the stands, the red-clad Persepolis celebrated its opener just five minutes after the kickoff.

Mohsen Mosalman hot-footed it in the left wing to spot the newly-hired Soroush Rafiei in the box with a defense-splitting cross, assisting the striker to beat Esteghlal goalie Seyyed Mehdi Rahmati with an angled curling drive kissing the far corner of the net.

But the early goal failed to dampen the spirits of the blue-shirted players who saw off Qatar’s Al Sadd 4-3 on penalties last week to book a place in the Group Stage of the AFC Champions League.

Capitalizing on the Reds’ defensive blunder behind the penalty area in the 18th minute, Farshid Esmaeili chested down the ball before unleashing an unstoppable goal-bound shot, with goalkeeper Alireza Beyranvand just looking on.

Two minutes later, Esteghlal proved the equalizer was not a bit of a fluke. Esmaeili turned to a provider this time as his delightful left-footed cross was headed home by Ali Qorbani from close range.

The stunned Reds heaped pressure on the Esteghlal woodwork and almost secured the parity on 31 minutes when striker Mehdi Taremi’s header narrowly missed the target.

Midfielder Ramin Rezaeian cupped his face in the 40th minute after his inswinging free kick went inches above the bar.

Against the run of the play, it was Esteghlal that celebrated the third one minute before the break. Striker Kaveh Rezaei dribbled past his marker Mohammad Ansari on the edge of the box to beat Beyranvand with a left-footed low drive.

Under former Esteghlal midfielder, Alireza Mansourian, the Blues took a defensive tactic and pinned their hopes on counterattacks in the second half to secure the lead.

Considering the league top-scorer Taremi’s squandering the gilt-edged opportunities on 52 and 57 minutes, the Esteghlal strategy worked.

With the strikers failing to find the net, Persepolis skipper Seyyed Jalal Hosseini advanced and rattled the bar with a header three minutes before normal time. Hosseini and Rahmati exchanged rants in the dying moments after the Iran full-back was convinced that the goalkeeper was feigning injury to kill time. Ref Alireza Faghani booked both to prevent the verbal attacks’ escalation into a brawl on the pitch.

Rahmati finally received his marching orders for a second bookable offense in the injury time when he apparently pushed Hosseini, who rushed to take the ball out of the net after making it 3-2 with a header.

The game ended seconds later, leaving Persepolis at the top, with 47 points out of 21 games, and Esteghlal in third place, with 10 points less.

Collecting 41 points, Tractorsazi of Tabriz sticks to the heels of Persepolis.
