US Likely Wiser Than to Harm Own Interests: Iran

By

Bahram Ghasemi

There have been indications that a potential Trump administration may act to breach the deal or entirely stop implementing US commitments under the agreement, which was struck between Iran and six other countries, including the US, in July 2015.

Trump himself has exhibited bellicose rhetoric toward Iran, including by threatening to “tear up” the deal. However, Trump, who is a business tycoon with no background in diplomacy or governance, has also regretted that US businesses, according to him, are not profiting as a result of the deal as much as businesses in other countries are.

Referring to the rhetoric flip-flops by Trump, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday that it was still too soon to say what implications a Trump presidency would have for the nuclear deal.

“It is still soon to judge what is going to come about,” he said, adding that he believed there was enough rationality within the American society to prevent the potential endangerment of American and international interests.

He did say, however, that Iran would have contingency plans for any scenario that may play out.

“Iran anyway maintains its readiness and has prepared its options for whatever contingency. When the time comes, and if we feel that the American side is eventually about to take certain [unwelcome] measures in this regard, Iran will take necessary measures [of its own],” the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

Qassemi said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the agreement is known, is a multilateral agreement, not a bilateral one, and that it has been endorsed by the United Nations Security Council.

“I do not think it would be an easy thing for a single party to trample upon the deal or offer to renegotiate it,” he said.

On the campaign trail, Trump had also said several times that he would renegotiate the deal. The bombastic president-elect has, however, not commented on Iran-related issues since winning the US presidential election on November 8.

Optimism about ties with EU

Qassemi also said the Islamic Republic was optimistic about future convergence between Iran and the European Union (EU).

He hailed a recent statement by the EU that followed Trump’s victory and that urged commitment to the JCPOA.

“We have a lot in common with Europe and are not geographically so wide apart, and therefore, we can arrive at shared viewpoints concerning the Middle East and North Africa,” he said.

He also said that it had been agreed during a Friday meeting in Paris between French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-e Ravanchi that the countries’ joint economic commission resume work in the second half of January 2017 after a 20-year hiatus.

‘Syria breakup plans abortive’

Elsewhere in his remarks, Qassemi referred to a United Nations (UN) proposal for the establishment of an autonomous region in the militant-held district of a Syrian city and said such measures have always failed.

“Syria has many players and influence-wielders. Syria’s disintegration has many and serious opponents and cannot happen easily. We are not yet anywhere to start to treat these arguments as serious [ideas],” he said, referring to the plan for the partition of Aleppo, the Syrian city.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem has strongly rejected the idea, calling it “a violation of our sovereignty.”

‘NATO not welcome in Mideast’

The Iranian ministry spokesman also pointed to Kuwait’s recent announcement that it is ready to host regional headquarters for NATO.

Qassemi said that the entry of foreign forces to the region has never proven to be a solution to regional woes and has always been cause for instability and insecurity.

‘Anti-Iran letter result of ignorance’

Qassemi also referred to a recent letter to the UN by Saudi Arabia and 10 other Arab countries that accused Iran of “supporting terrorism” and said the signatories of the letter had little or no grounding in the history and culture of Iran and the Iranian people.

Among the signatories to the letter were such Saudi allies as Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar.

Qassemi said it was Saudi Arabia that was the real sponsor of terrorism and that had been exporting it throughout the world for decades.

“Saudi Arabia harbors the chimera and irrelevant delusion that it can surmount its problems by having an enemy in, say, Iran,” he said.

Through such jockeying, he said, Riyadh believes it can derive some kind of advantage and cause some kind of trouble for Iran at the current juncture in time, which he said may be a “period of transition” in the US.

End of ISIS Imminent: Iran’s Army Chief

ISIS and other Takfiri terrorist groups will die out in the near future, the top commander said at a farewell ceremony in Tehran on Monday, held to acknowledge outgoing Commander of Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan’s services.

Highlighting Iran’s foresight in realizing threats, the general said the country’s top military officials had anticipated four years ago that enemies had plans to pose a threat to Iran from the western borders.

He further pointed to the US long-lasting enmity toward Iran, saying such a wolfish enemy is only after harming Iran.

In comments in August, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the US and Israel created ISIS to use it as a tool to deflect Muslims’ attention from major issues, like Palestine.

Iran’s western neighbor, Iraq, has been gripped by a deadly militancy since ISIS captured areas in north and west of the Arab country in the summer of 2014.

In recent months, the Iraqi army and Popular Mobilization Forces have managed to retake many positions from the terrorists.

Iran, a close ally of Iraq, has been supporting the Arab nation in the fight against ISIS since the terrorist group invaded Iraq.

Monkey Attack Sparks Deadly Tank Battle in Libya

Monkey

According to residents and local media in the southern city of Sabha, the violence erupted between two tribes after three young men turned a pet monkey loose on a schoolgirl.

The animal pulled off one of the girls’ headscarves, prompting men from the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate by killing three people from the Gaddadfa tribe as well as the monkey, according to a resident who spoke to Reuters.

“There was an escalation on the second and third days with the use of tanks, mortars and other heavy weapons,” the resident said, according to a report covered by Al Alam.

“There are still sporadic clashes and life is completely shut down in the areas where there has been fighting.”

Like other parts of Libya, Sabha has been periodically plagued by conflict since the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi five years ago splintered the country into warring factions.

In the Sabha region, a hub for migrant and arms smuggling in Libya’s often neglected south, militia abuses and the deterioration of living conditions have been especially acute.

The Gaddadfa and the Awlad Suleiman represent the most powerful armed factions in the region.

During the latest clashes, which took place in the city centre, initial attempts by tribal leaders to calm the fighting and arrange a ceasefire so that bodies could be recovered had failed, residents said.

By Sunday, Sabha Medical Centre had received the bodies of 16 people killed in the clashes and some 50 wounded, said a spokesman for the centre.

“There are women and children among the wounded and some foreigners from sub-Saharan African countries among those killed due to indiscriminate shelling,” he said.

The city lies about 660km (410 miles) south of Tripoli.

Iranian Parliament Urges Rouhani’s Gov’t to Act against JCPOA Violation

Iran's Parliament

“Iran’s diplomatic apparatus should counteract the US extension of anti-Iran sanctions,” stated Hossein Ali Hajideligani, a senior Iranian MP, according to a report by Keyhan newspaper, as translated by IFP.

“The extension of sanctions shows that we still cannot trust the US and American statesmen,” he said.

“By extending the sanctions on Iran for 10 years, the US has practically violated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and our government and diplomatic apparatus should act effectively against the US deceit,” he added, affirming that to resolve the economic problems, Iran has to rely on its internal capacities.

“This long-term extension of sanctions should make some people understand why others worry about them being overly optimistic toward the West, and that we should provide the means of Iran’s development inside the country,” Hajideligani went on to say.

“Our Leader insisted on US deceitfulness since the beginning of negotiations,” said Farhad Tajari, another Iranian lawmaker.

“The move by US will strengthen the mentality of fight against imperialism within Iran, and shows others who blindly bought the US promises that Washington is dishonest, and the first violator of Human Rights,” he added.

“Those who associated the solution of all problems in Iran with our agreement with the US should wake up and invest on resistance economy,” MP Seyyed Nasser Mousavi Laregani told Tasnim.

It is necessary for Iran to act against US deceitfulness

“We should neither count on US nor believe its statesmen’s words,” stated Sodeif Badri, the representative of Ardabil and spokesman of Iranian Parliament`s Civil Commission in this regard. “The government should counteract US dishonesty in a precise timeframe, with a view on the articles of JCPOA.”

“Iran’s foreign ministry should be more active in this regard, and express its protest against US policies in the international community,” said Hajideligani.

“Having failed to meet its obligations, US should be accountable to the international public opinion,” said Valiollah Nanva, the representative of Babolsar and member of Iranian Parliament`s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, according a report by Tasnim. “We investigate in this commission the issue of sanctions’ renewal and the ban on selling aircraft to Iran.”

Saudi Newspaper Provokes Anger after Insulting Iraqi Women

The London-based Asharq Al-Awast, which is owned by the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, published an article on Sunday titled “International warnings of ‘illegitimate pregnancies’ in Karbala”.

Ashargh AlawsatThe article which was published as millions of mainly Shiite pilgrims arrived in Karbala to commemorate the fortieth day after Imam Hussein’s martyrdom, claimed that the WHO issued a report saying the large-scale pilgrimage had caused “illegitimate pregnancies among 169 Iraqi women” last year.

However, the WHO on Sunday denied the statement attributed to it, which it said appeared earlier this week, and which was rebuffed by the organisation on Friday.

“The [World Heath] Organisation condemns in the most severe terms the use of its name in a fabricated report that does not in any way conform to the principles of the organisation,” read the WHO’s statement.

“The organisation is investigating the source of the false report and could take legal action against its publisher,” the statement added, as reported by The New Arab.

Rana Sidani, a spokeswoman for the WHO said the organisation was shocked at the publication of the fabricated report by Asharq Al-Awsat after the international group had denied the report on Friday.

Sidani, who made the remarks in a televised interview, added that the WHO is consulting with the Iraqi ministry of health on possible legal action against the paper.

Following the condemnations by the WHO and Iraqi officials, Asharq Al-Awsat published a correction and announced that it has fired the paper’s editor in Baghdad who was responsible for the publication of the story.

Meanwhile, public condemnations of the paper continue, with calls to prosecute the paper and ban it from circulation for insulting Iraqi women.

Habibollah Sayyari“For the first time, the 44th flotilla comprised of Alvand and Bushehr destroyers could sail around the African continent and enter the Atlantic Ocean,” Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told reporters in Tehran on Monday.

“The two destroyers are now deployed in Durban Harbor (South Africa),” he added.

Noting that the deployment of the 44th flotilla of warships in the international waters indicates the Iranian Navy’s might and power, Admiral Sayyari said, “In addition to that, 5 fleets of warships have also been sent to other countries so far with a message of peace and friendship.”

Back in 2014, Admiral Sayyari had announced the country’s plans to deploy troops in the Atlantic Ocean.

“The Iranian Navy will definitely be present in the Atlantic Ocean in the near future,” Admiral Sayyari said at the time, Fars reported.

He noted that conducting reciprocal visits to other countries, including the littoral states of the Indian Ocean and African countries, and exchanging naval visits and voyages are among the Navy’s programs.

“We are ready to hold joint naval drills with the neighboring countries as well,” Admiral Sayyari said.

In recent years, Iran’s Navy has been increasing its presence in international waters to protect naval routes and provide security for trade vessels and tankers.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly asserted that its overseas naval presence is meant to convey a message of peace and friendship to other countries.
