Israel Says It Knew about Iran’s Stake in German Submarine Manufacturer

ThyssenKrupp

According to a report covered by YJC, Defence Minister of Israeli regime Avigdor Liberman on Tuesday referred to the reports that a German shipbuilding company supplying submarines and warships to the Israeli Navy is partially owned by an Iranian governmental investment firm, saying Israel was aware of the connection before the deal was finalized.

A report published Friday by Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that the state-owned Iran Foreign Investments Company (IFIC) holds 4.5 percent of ThyssenKrupp’s stock and has earned nearly $100 million in dividends off of its shares over the past decade.

ThyssenKrupp was contracted by the Zionist regime of Israel’s Defence Ministry in 2014 to build four “Saar-6” class warships to protect Israel’s off-shore natural gas reserves.

In a meeting of Israel’s parliamentary finance committee, Liberman said that “the matter of Iranian involvement in the submarine manufacturer was known” prior to the signing of the 430 million euro ($480 million) deal.

“Israel had no alternative. The company has its management, and there is an administrative committee, and the involvement is very minor,” Liberman said.

Iran, Indonesia Must Boost Consultation on Terror Fight: Rouhani

Rouhani - Indoesia parliament speaker

“Terrorism is a major predicament in the region, East Asia and other parts of the world,” Rouhani said in a meeting with the chairman of the Indonesian People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), Zulkifli Hasan, in Tehran on Tuesday.

Noting that some terrorist groups falsely attach themselves to Islam, Rouhani urged Muslim scholars to illustrate this fact to the world, adding that the real Islam is a religion of mercy and moderation and this true face of Islam must be presented to the world public.

He emphasized that terrorism must be driven out from Islamic lands.

The Iranian president stressed the importance of reinforcing unity among Muslims across the world, saying, “We can safeguard the Islamic culture and promote the power of the Muslim world through unity.”

He also said Iran and Indonesia enjoy good capacities to boost their economic cooperation and expressed hope that the volume of trade between the two countries would reach two billion dollars in the near future.

“The two countries’ cooperation is very important in solving the problems of the Muslim world,” Rouhani added, expressing regret that Muslim countries, including Yemen, Syria and Iraq, are plagued with instability and numerous problems and calling for collective efforts to restore security to these countries.

Hasan, for his part, said Iran and Indonesia, as two important Muslim countries, can use their capacities to expand cooperation in different sectors, particularly in trade and economy.

He called on Muslim countries to settle their differences and reinforce their commonalities and said Tehran and Jakarta are capable of taking effective steps to help this process.

The Indonesian MPR chairman arrived in Tehran on Sunday on an official four-day visit at the invitation of the Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

Spokesman Rejects Saudi Espionage Claims against Iran as ‘Baseless’

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has never taken actions contrary to the international law and diplomatic principles in Saudi Arabia and such accusations are baseless and politically-motivated,” Qassemi said Tuesday.

The spokesman added that at a time when there is a dire need to promote unity and avoid further tensions in the Muslim world and the region, imposition of false and untrue accusations does not serve the interests of any country in the region.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s principled policy toward the Persian Gulf littoral sates is observing good neighborliness, mutual respect and non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs,” Qassemi stressed.

A court in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday sentenced 15 Shiite citizens to death on trumped-up charges of spying for Iran in yet another case of crackdown on the country’s Shiite minority.

It also sentenced 15 other suspects to prison terms ranging from six months to 25 years, and acquitted two, according to Reuters.

The suspects, comprising 30 Saudi Shiite Muslims, reportedly one Iranian and an Afghan, were detained in 2013 on charges of alleged spying for Iran and went on trial in February.

The rulings are subject to appeal, and death sentences must go to the king for ratification.

The top Iranian diplomat, who is in Japan on the final leg of an Asian tour, attended a meeting of Iranian and Japanese business people in Tokyo’s Hotel Okura on Wednesday.

Highlighting Iran’s scientific and technological progress, as in nanotechnology, and the rising rate of the country’s economic growth after removal of sanctions under a nuclear agreement with the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), Zarif gave an assurance that Iran presents the safest opportunity for investment.

The minister also underscored the exemplary security in Iran within a region gripped by instability and terrorism.

Iran offers an independent market, is a reliable source of energy, and provides access to the reginal markets and a main corridor linking the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman to Central Asia and the Caucasus, Zarif added.

He called on the private sectors of Iran and Japan to get acquainted with each other’s capabilities, noting that strong collaboration between the two countries will serve peace and security in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Heading a mainly trade delegation, Zarif arrived in Japan early Wednesday, after visiting India and China.

In comments upon his arrival in Tokyo, the top Iranian diplomat stated that economic issues are high on the agenda of his trip.

 

Iran’s Official Currency to Be Changed from Rial to Toman

In a cabinet session on Wednesday, President Hassan Rouhani’s administration approved a bill to drop one zero from the country’s national currency, changing its name to Toman.

According to a report by IFP, the change of official currency’s name was made based on a bill proposed by the country’s Central Bank.

Iranian Members of Parliament are supposed to discuss the bill and pass it into a law. After the Parliament’s vote, the Guardian Council is the last body to approve the law before its implementation.

The currency change was a long-awaited move as ‘rial’ was just used in official correspondence and rhetoric, and ordinary people mostly used the name ‘toman’ in their daily life and calculations.

The difference used to create serious problems, particularly in business correspondence and contracts, Asr-e Iran reported.

Iran to Receive Loan from Russia for Its Infrastructure Projects

RUSSIA-IRAN

According to a report by IFP, in a cabinet session on Wednesday, which was chaired by President Hassan Rouhani, the government approved a bill to receive loan from Russia.

The loan is expected to be allocated to new energies, nuclear power, railways, highways, dams, irrigations systems, and water transfer projects, Fars News Agency said in a Farsi report.

The decision came as Iran and Russia have demonstrated a distinct effort in tightening their cooperation in energy, industrial and infrastructure projects and investment.

In July 2016, Russia and Iran signed a new strategic five-year plan that encompassed thirteen agreements that focused on energy, construction and trade.

It appears as if Russia has been given a priority position for investment: a $1 billion offshore rig contract was awarded to a Russian firm; 1 billion Euros of a total 2.2 billion Euro loan plan will be allocated by Russia towards construction of a power plant in Iran, and the construction of a new transport rail system called the North-South Transport Corridor (N.S.T.C.) connecting India, Iran and Russia via Azerbaijan is also to be co-financed by Russia.

Russia is also a preferred partner in helping Iran with expanding Iran’s nuclear power generation capacity.

To be able to increase its oil output significantly, Iran needs to replace its outdated oil equipment and infrastructure, which requires large foreign investments worth billions of US dollars.

Cristiano Ronaldo Could Face 6 Years of Prison over €150 Million Tax Evasion

According to a report covered by Entekhab in Farsi, Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s superstar attacker, has allegedly benefited from overseas tax havens, according to reports, and could owe millions of dollars in taxes on that money.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo is reporting that Ronaldo could face a judge as the investigation moves forward, quoting Spanish tax authority general secretary Jose Maria Mollinedo saying that punishment could be two years in prison and up to six if the investigation is open for more than six years.

The funds reportedly come from sponsorship deals and images rights, and the issue here is that Ronaldo has supposedly only paid taxes on these deals at a rate of just four percent, CBS Sports reported.

Jose Maria Mollinedo, the secretary general of the union at Spain’s tax authority (GESTHA), also revealed to Spanish radio station RAC1 the sheer scale of the trouble Ronaldo could find himself in.

El Mundo says the Real Madrid star has directed at least €150 million in income through tax havens, including the British Virgin Islands, since 2009.

Ronaldo’s agency, Gestifute, issued a strong denial and published documents that they believe prove Ronaldo is innocent.

But Mollinedo, one of the tax workers’ union’s most senior figures, suggested Ronaldo may well be facing a prison sentence, Mirror reported.

“The information about Cristiano Ronaldo makes it look like he could have defrauded more than €150million,” he said.

According to a Farsi report by Mehr, the Managing Director of Tehran’s Bus Operating Company Peyman Sanandaji noted that immediately after the last passengers leave Tehran’s public buses every night, the vehicles are thoroughly disinfected and sanitized.

Even during the day, the moment passengers disembark from the bus, a group of workers get into the buses and clean them using detergents, he added.

As the last steps, trash bins are emptied, bus floors are swept, and glasses are cleaned every night, Sanandaji went on to say.

License Plates for Camels in Southern Iran!

“We are going to give identity cards to 35,000 camels during the first phase of issuing licence plates for them,” said Mohammad-Sharif Khaleqinia, the secretary of Iranian Central Task Force to Combat the Smuggling of Commodities and Currency in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.

“95,000 animals have been given licence plates since the beginning of the new Iranian year,” he added, according to a Farsi report by IRNA.

The traffic of camels in roads of Sistan and Baluchestan during the night causes car accidents, losses and damages.

As there has been no means to find out the camels’ identities, their owners couldn’t be recognised. By issuing licence plates, not only the owners feel more responsible in taking care of their animals from now on, but also such problems as animal trafficking would decrease.
