Parliament OK’s Iran’s Accession to Paris Climate Agreement

According to a report by ISNA, as translated by IFP, 149 Iranian MPs voted in favour of Iran’s accession to Paris Agreement.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had signed the historic Paris Agreement on climate change during a ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York back in April.

The agreement, reached in Paris in December 2015, can now require countries to fulfil the promises they made to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

China and the US, which together account for 38 percent of global emissions, had pledged to formally adopt the deal by the end of the year.

However, it is reported that the US President-elect Donald Trump is seeking quick ways of withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement in defiance of widening international backing for the plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Reuters has reported that since Trump was chosen, governments ranging from China to small island states have reaffirmed support for the 2015 Paris agreement at 200-nation climate talks running until 18 November in Marrakesh, Morocco.

But, according to Reuters, a source in the Trump transition team said the victorious Republican, who has called global warming a hoax, was considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the accord.

“It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election,” said the source, who works on Trump’s transition team for international energy and climate policy, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Paris agreement went into force on 4 November, four days before last Tuesday’s election.

The Paris deal, agreed by 195 countries plus the European Union, sets the objective of curbing global warming to “well below” two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, by moving to clean energy.

The first quarter of the current year broke temperature records, and the last year was the hottest year since record-keeping began in the 19th century.

The UN’s former climate agreement, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, came into force in 2005. It dictated cuts in greenhouse gas emissions only for developed countries, unlike the Paris Agreement that involves both developed and developing countries, and allows all states to set national targets.

According to the report translated by IFP, Shariatmadari stressed that the nuclear deal is “total damage” for Iran, and Trump should tear it apart to rid Iran of the ‘futile’ agreement.

Two Saudi soldiers were sniped by Yemeni forces in the Arab country’s southwestern Taiz province on Saturday, Lebanon’s al-Ahed website reported.

Also, a Saudi tank was destroyed after coming under Yemeni fire in the province.

Later in the day, the Yemeni snipers hit another Saudi trooper inside Saudi Arabia in the kingdom’s southwestern region of Asir, according to the report.

The attacks came in response to the continued aggression by Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies against Yemen, which started in March 2015.

The Saudi-led coalition has been launching deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in the past year and a half in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Nearly 10,000 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.

Trump Will Remain Committed to Iran Deal: UN’s Ban

In an interview with Entekhab, as covered by IFP, Ban was asked whether the US President-elect Donald Trump is able to scrap the nuclear deal with Iran which was passed in the United Nations Security Council.

“This is a work which has been agreed upon by five members of Security Council and Germany and is fully supported by the Security Council. US has been playing a crucial role among the members and UN has been fully supporting this agreement,” the UN secretary general replied.

“Of course this deal may not be a perfect agreement, but we are not living in a perfect world. If there is anything that may not be satisfactory to the newly-elected president, he should discuss it with the parties concerned,” he went on to say.

He stressed that what matters is the implementation of the agreement in a faithful manner.

“Whatever he [Trump] might have said [what he said against the nuclear deal] as political rhetoric and during presidential campaign, I’m sure once he becomes the president in January, he will be committed to the agreement,” Ban reassured.

In response to a question regarding the remarks made by Trump’s Foreign Policy adviser against Iran deal, Ban noted, “I’m not in a position to talk about this, but as a matter of principle, the agreement should be supported.”

“Since UN has been established, we have seen many changes in the US administration from Democrat party to Republicans. But all of them have honoured these agreements,” he added.

During the election campaign, Trump had threatened that he would “tear up” the JCPOA or try to renegotiate its terms if elected president.

Trump’s adviser Walid Phares told BBC radio on Thursday that Trump will demand changes to the nuclear deal

“Ripping up is maybe a too strong of word, he’s going to take that agreement, it’s been done before in international context, and then review it,”

“He will take the agreement, review it, send it to Congress, demand from the Iranians to restore few issues or change few issues, and there will be a discussion,” Phares added.

A new initiative from the Red Cross in Norway and Ikea, a giant furniture manufacturer, designed by ad agency POL, is aimed at bringing the realities of the civil war home by creating an exact replica of Syrian people’s accommodation for shoppers to explore for themselves.

norway-syrianAccording to a report covered by Hamshahri Online, the project called ’25 metres of Syria’ was nestled among the other showrooms at Ikea’s flagship store outside Oslo. It features stories and more information about Syrian families and the war written on Ikea’s iconic information tags dotted on objects throughout the tiny 25m² installation, as well as calls to action explaining how people can help or donate.

The replica of the Syrian home was an incredibly successful awareness raising project: the campaign’s creators said that 40,000 people visited the store while the installation was up in October, many of them just to see the Syrian home.

The wider fundraising effort raised £19million towards Syrian humanitarian relief, the Red Cross said.

Regional Sunni Divide Reaching Crisis Point in Iraq

In an interview with Tasnim, as translated by IFP, Nazim Dabbagh, the representative of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iran, said that he is concerned about sectarian violence in Iraq’s Sunni population, which is caused by the lack of a single Sunni religious authority to control the situation.

Referring to the repercussions of the absence of such religious authority in Iraq, he added, “Today, Iraq is a federalist country which must move towards a democracy where everyone have their own share of power in accordance with their political and economic weight.”

However, he added, following the Battle of Mosul, certain groups are acting in such a way to drive a wedge between other ethnic and religious groups in the country.

“As a result, there is fear that clashes may break out between Shiites and Sunnis; Shiites and Shiites; Sunnis and Sunnis; Turkmens, Shiites and Sunnis; Christians and Yazidis and other Christians; Kurds and Sunnis and Shiites; and even Kurds and Kurds,” he said.

“For the time being, the absence of a single Sunni religious authority to have the final say is felt in Iraq pretty tangibly.”

“All this is caused by the dissenting Arab and Sunni countries in the region; Turkey says something, then, Saudi Arabia says something else; Qatar says another thing; then, the UAE says something; there it goes to Egypt which says something totally different from all others; no one agrees with others. In the meanwhile, the Kurds are not united either; had we not been divergent inside, we would have never had our rights violated.”
