Iraq

A suicide bombing struck a car park in the city of Samarra, a holy site for Shiite pilgrims, ABNA reported.

IraqAn Iranian official in Iraq told ISNA that 10 Iranians have been killed in this terrorist attack.

According to ISNA’s report, as translated by IFP, Mohammad Javad Daneshyar said the early observations indicate that the majority of Iranian pilgrims are from Sistan and Baluchestan and Horomozgan provinces.

“These pilgrims were getting out of the bus in Samarra car park when the suicide ambulance moved towards them and the explosion led to their death,” he noted.

Sunday’s attacks came amid a wide-scale offensive aimed at ousting the ISIS terrorist group from the northern city of Mosul.

In mid-2014, ISIS captured Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, before overrunning vast swathes of territory in the country’s north and west.

Suicide Bombers Strike in Two Iraqi Cities, Killing 11: Officials

mosul

The suicide attacker detonated an ambulance packed with explosives in Tikrit on Sunday, killing nine people at the southern entrance to the city, police and hospital sources said, as Reuters reported.

The bomber struck during the busy morning rush hour. Authorities declared a curfew in the city, saying they had information that further attacks were possible.

In Samarra, about 50 km (30 miles) south of Tikrit, two people were killed when a suicide car bomber struck a car park for Shiite pilgrims visiting the city’s al-Askari Holy Shrine, sources said.

The attacks took place as Iraqi troops and security forces, backed by a US-led international coalition, were fighting to drive ISIS militants out of the northern city of Mosul which they have controlled for the last two years.

Iran, ITER Sign Confidentiality Agreement

Ali Akbar Salehi-ITER Director

Launched by Europe, United States, China, India, Japan, Russia and South Korea 10 years ago, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project aims to build the world’s largest experimental reactor, or tokamak.

It would generate energy through nuclear fusion, rather than the fission process currently used in nuclear power stations around the world. Fusion could prove cleaner, safer and more efficient, according to Reuters.

“Under the document, the two sides agreed to keep confidential each other’s information during their cooperation,” said Salehi.

Salehi, a nuclear physicist, also said a second agreement has already been drafted which details bilateral cooperation between the two sides which will be signed in the near future.

“We hope to sign the agreement in the near future,” he added.

Earlier in July, Salehi visited the ITER headquarters in southern France, saying there was “general agreement” for cooperation on the ITER.

While details of the future cooperation document are unknown, a full membership to the project should not be the case, as Bigot told Reuters in an interview in July.

“After that they told us they had a long-standing interest in fusion and they would like to consider how to join the ITER project, but clearly not as a full member,” he said.

Full members provide experienced engineers and scientists and substantial financial contributions.

“They felt that full membership is not best for them, but consider association in some specific areas or fields where they can contribute. Now it’s up to them to make up their mind,” Bigot said.

Bigot’s July comments, however, are thrown into doubt by Salehi who said Iran will enter into all-encompassing cooperation on the project.

“The project is an executive, technical, and scientific one which demands extensive scientific activity. That is why we enter into an all-encompassing cooperation,” he added.

Iran’s participation in the project is an outcome of the nuclear deal it concluded with six world powers in July 2015, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Under the deal, EU and E3+3 countries and international participants will engage in joint projects with Iran, including through IAEA technical cooperation projects, in the field of peaceful nuclear technology, including nuclear power plants, research reactors, fuel fabrication, agreed joint advanced R&D such as fusion.

Iran-Turkey Can Thwart Powers’ Plots in ME: First VP

Jahangiri - Nihat Zeybekci

“If Iran and Turkey reach a common understanding of the threats that powers have created in our region, they can put an end to their game,” Jahangiri said in a meeting with Turkish Minister of Economy Nihat Zeybekci in Tehran on Saturday.

He added that Iran and Ankara may have different views on certain regional issues but noted that such differences would never lead to a halt in Tehran’s support for Ankara in the face of regional threats and instability.

“Iran would not like to see Turkey sharing the same stance with Riyadh on issues such as Baghdad, Shia [Muslims] and Iran. Riyadh is supporting terrorists and Daesh and we have so far differentiated between the positions of Ankara and Riyadh,” the Iranian vice president said.

He added that Shias have never sought to cause sectarian strife and stressed the importance of collective efforts to restore stability to the Middle East at the earliest.

Jahangiri further expressed Iran’s keenness to improve relations with Turkey without any limitation and urged the two countries to speed up bids in order to remove the obstacles in the way of bolstering economic cooperation.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes the presence of companies of the friendly, brotherly and neighboring country of Turkey and we expect that these firms will have a more serious presence in Iran’s economy,” he said.

Iran and Turkey have differences over the crisis in Syria, but the two sides have been working to maintain close relations and stress the need for joint efforts to uproot terrorism.  While Iran supports the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Turkey backs the Syrian opposition groups fighting the government forces.

Since March 2011, Syria has been gripped by deadly militancy it blames on some Western states and their regional allies. More than 400,000 people have reportedly been killed in the war.

 

‘Enhanced Iran-Turkey Ties Beneficial to Nations’

Zeybekci, for his part, said he is visiting Tehran with the purpose of holding talks with senior Iranian officials on ways to develop trade and economic cooperation.

He warned that the obstacles in the way of boosting trade relations would not be beneficial to either side and said the expansion of ties would serve the two nations’ interests.

zahra ahmadipour

In a decree on Saturday, Rouhani named Zahra Ahmadipour as the new vice president and the ICHHTO head.

He said the appointment has been made given Ahmadipour’s dutifulness, scientific record and valuable experience.

Rouhani expressed hope that she would be successful in the path of serving the Iranian nation and the Islamic establishment by observing the principles of the rule of law, moderation and the Iranian administration’s Ethics Charter.

Ahmadipour holds a PhD in geopolitics, an MS in geography and urban planning as well as a BS in geography.

She is an assistant professor of Geography Department at Tarbiat Modares University and Director General of the Interior Ministry’s administrative division office.

Ahmadipour’s appointment came after former ICHHTO head, Massoud Soltanifar, became the new Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs by winning a vote of confidence from the Iranian parliament on Tuesday.

ISIS Once Got Hit by Iran near Border: General

General Hassan Firouzabadi

In an interview with Tasnim, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, a senior military adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said the armed forces have already carried out a threat to smash Takfiri militants from inside Iran if they get any closer than 40 kilometres to the Iran-Iraq borders.

When Takfiri terrorists launched an attack against Baghdad and surrounded the Iraqi capital from three directions, the roads and small towns in eastern parts of the city were within a radius of 40 kilometres from Iran’s western borders, the general explained.

Iran carried out its threat and hit ISIS before they could approach any closer to Iran, Major General Firouzabadi added, noting that reports of the attack were never made public, like those of many other measures by Iran.

Iraq has been gripped by a deadly militancy since ISIS captured areas in north and west of the country in the summer of 2014.

However, the Iraqi army and Popular Mobilization Forces have managed to retake many positions from the militants.

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

Saudi Arabia Is the Answer to All Investigations about Source of Terrorism: French Journalist

According to a report by IRNA, as translated by IFP, Richard Labévière, the author of the book “Terrorism, the dark side of globalization”, which is to be published on November 14 in France, had an interview with the French-speaking radio Channel III of Algiers.

In this interview, he says “all investigations on terrorism bring us back to Saudi Arabia.”

“Saudi Arabia finances the growth of radicalism as it continues to do so today with the Al-Nusra Front in Syria. The strategy of Saudi Arabia through this funding is to first encourage the expansion of Wahhabism, and then to destabilize states, as it allows a redistribution of wealth in the region.”

“Terrorism is a vital fuel for wild neoliberal globalization. It has even become a full-fledged economic sector because it is the waste needed for the economic expansion of globalization.”

Referring to the current situation in the Middle East, the journalist says it is the result of foreign intervention in the region.

“The interests of Israel and the United States in the region are in breaking all these nation states into microstates, and returning Arabs to tribalism.”

Labévière then returned to the war in Syria and said, “After destroying Iraq, Western powers came to notice the Syrian nation state.”

“Syrian conflict is not a conflict between gentle rebels and an evil dictator as mainstream media want us to believe,” he noted.

“The reason is the rivalry between two opponents: on the one hand the axis of United States, Europe, Israel and the Persian Gulf States, which seeks to disintegrate Syria, and on the other hand, the Syrian state aided by its allies (Russia, Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah) which want to maintain the national state.”

“Undoubtedly, what has created the security in our country is (the people’s) alertness, vigilance, awareness and internal solidarity,” President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday in an address to the opening ceremony of the 22nd edition of the Press Exhibition in Tehran.

“Media, culture, and art professionals should promote security in the society,” President Rouhani said, stressing that security is not just assured through the power of bullet.

“The power of culture is way beyond that of bullet and diplomacy. Media are responsible for propagating this culture in the cyber space and among the society,” he went on to say, as translated by IFP.

He added that terrorism in the region stems from an incorrect understanding of Islam and Islamic Jihad, stressing that what can protect the region from insecurity is for people’s refusal to listen to voices of extremism, Tasnim reported.

Representatives of more than 900 newspapers, news agencies and media outlets have attended the expo.
