Iran’s Parliament Issues Biannual Report on JCPOA Implementation

IFP Media Wire

October 30, 2016

The report was read out in an open session of the parliament on Sunday.

Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015, reached a conclusion over the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which took effect on January 16.

According to a law that requires the Iranian administration to safeguard the nation’s achievements and nuclear rights, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has been tasked with monitoring “the proper implementation” of the JCPOA, and is required to submit a report on the issue to the presiding board of the parliament every six months.

The new report contains information about Iran’s measures to honor its commitments, the steps taken by the Group 5+1 (also known as P5+1 or E3+3), the latest status of termination of the anti-Iran sanctions, the cases of US breach of the deal or its failure to meet commitments, and comes up with a series of suggestions.

The report deplores sluggish progress in global banking interaction with Iran, saying that major international banks are reluctant to work with Iran and that Tehran still has problems in financial transactions with the world.

It has also blamed concerns about cooperation with Iranian banks on Washington’s intimidating policies and the possibility of new penalties by the US government.

“Though the United States of America has undertaken tasks under the JCPOA and has seemingly taken action to honor them, it is trying to disrupt and delay carrying out its commitments in practice,” the report noted.

It further described US violations and obstructive measures in implementing the JCPOA as the “major challenge” that Iran faces now, but underlined that Washington will ultimately have to meet its commitments given the Iranian nation’s resistance and fortitude.

IFP Media Wire

October 30, 2016

In a meeting held in Tehran on Sunday, Zarif and Busaidi discussed ways to boost cooperation between Tehran and Muscat in all spheres.

The two Muslim nations of Iran and Oman enjoy amicable ties in all fields.

In recent years, the two countries have signed agreements for cooperation in various fields, including a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the areas of farming and fisheries in June 2014.

Iranian Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati and his Omani counterpart Fuad Bin Ja’afar Al Sajwani signed the MoU in Tehran.

Iran, Iraq Cannot Accept West’s Reading of Human Rights: Tehran

IFP Media Wire

October 30, 2016

Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani made the remarks after a meeting with Medhat al-Mahmoud, the head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council, in Baghdad on Sunday.

There are “abundant commonalities” between Tehran and Baghdad, he said, adding that the two “are not supposed to accept the West’s version of human rights principles.”

The Iranian judiciary chief further said that a major Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the attorneys general of the two countries for cooperation in human rights issues and the fight against terrorism.

He also stressed that the reinforcement of judicial and legal relations between Iran and Iraq could deepen their political ties.

The Iraqi official, for his part, emphasized that the two neighboring countries have no disagreements about the issue of terrorism and enjoy common rules to counter the scourge.

UN Must Take Practical Measure to Tackle Mideast Issues: Iran

IFP Media Wire

October 30, 2016

At a Sunday ceremony held in Tehran to mark 71 years since the establishment of the United Nations, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi criticized the world body for failing to hammer out agreements on certain issues of international significance.

“The United Nations has failed to properly respond to developments like the situation unfolding in Syria and Yemen, and does not go beyond mere peace proposals,” Araqchi.

The Iranian official pointed to the deadly crisis gripping Syria since early 2011, saying the UN is duty-bound to help end the plight of Syrians, but the “political structure” of the 193-member organization is hampering its work.

Elsewhere, the Iranian deputy foreign minister expressed regrets over the situation in Yemen, which has been under fatal Saudi attacks for more than a year, saying the Islamic Republic wants the United Nations to help stop Riyadh’s atrocities against the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state.

He censured the Saudi air raid against a funeral ceremony in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, which left over 140 people dead and around 100 others wounded, saying Iran has already voiced readiness to provide humanitarian aid to the survivors of the assault in a letter to the UN.

Araqchi criticized the UN Human Rights Council for renewing the membership of Saudi Arabia despite its record of rights abuses, saying the move is politically-motivated.

The senior Iranian official also hailed United Nations efforts to help unite the world countries and work out a landmark agreement aimed at tackling global warming in Paris last December.

During the ceremony, UN Resident Coordinator in Iran Gary Lewis also delivered a speech, in which he praised Iran’s “positive” role in advancing the world body’s Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), also known as Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

He was referring to a set of goals adopted by UN member states last September to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each of the 17 goals has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.

During the event, Lewis and Araqchi also signed an agreement on cooperation in the areas of health, fight against drug trafficking, sustainable development and environment.

Lewis said the terms of the UN-Iran agreement is closely intertwined with the SGDs.

The cave was designed to manufacture plutonium using a nuclear reactor. It was built in the 1960s and over 60,000 soldiers were involved in the project.

Now visitors can explore the vast underground complex including the central computer room and some of the main thoroughfares which have been fitted with light and educational displays.

Built to withstand an earthquake of up to 8-magnitude on the Richter scale, the project was only declassified in 2002.

Apple Mistakes Iraqi Man for Saddam Hussein!

IFP Editorial Staff

October 30, 2016

According to a report by YJC, as translated by IFP, Sharakat Hussain, 26, had bought the £799 iPhone for his sister last month but returned it after she said she did not want the gift.

The 26-year-old, from Birmingham, was allegedly told that because of the large amount, he’d receive the money through a bank transfer.

But after waiting for weeks, he still hadn’t received the money.

Eventually, he received an email from the tech giant and was stunned when they allegedly asked him to prove he was not the deceased Iraqi dictator.

He was then told by an admin worker that due to his surname, he could be on a Government’s Denied Parties list, which meant he wasn’t allowed to be sold an iPhone.

Sharakat, a father-of-two, told the Sun, ‘I thought the email was spam, I was stunned to learn it was real. I was furious to be linked to Saddam.’

Saddam Hussein was hung in Iraq in 2006, but for some reason, staff at Apple still managed to mix the two up.

The company have reportedly promised to sort out the refund.

Saudi Officer Gunned Down in Eastern Province

IFP Media Wire

October 30, 2016

The attackers fired shots at the vehicle in the district’s al-Majidiah area on Sunday, Saudi Sabq news website reported.

In a similar incident last week, gunmen shot dead two Saudi Arabian security personnel in Dammam, the capital of the Shia-dominated province..

The country’s al-Arabia television network said the officers, who were both killed in the city’s al-Dhabab neighborhood, were driving back home.

Back in September, gunmen had also killed two police officers in Dammam.

The kingdom has witnessed a spate of deadly shootings and bombings targeting security forces or the country’s Shia minority over the past year. The local branches of Daesh have claimed responsibility for many of the attacks.

The Eastern Province has also been the scene of peaceful demonstrations since February 2011.

Protesters have been demanding reforms, freedom of expression and the release of political prisoners as well as an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-producing region.
