Iran Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Baghdad, Kabul

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the Monday terrorist attacks that killed civilians in Baghdad’s Karradah district and in Kabul, expressing sympathy with the governments and nations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The common objective and ideology of the Takfiri-terrorist groups is to harm stability and security in the regional countries, Qassemi deplored, saying the terror groups continue to shed blood of hundreds of people every day amid the international community’s silence and indifference.

The violent and terrorist attacks will continue as long as the international community lacks the necessary resolve to identify the root causes of Takfiri-Wahhabi terrorism and force the supporters of those terrorist groups to stop their support.

His comments came after two bombing blasts killed at least five people and injured 11 others near the Afghan Ministry of Defense in Kabul on Monday.

Elsewhere in Iraq, a car bombing killed at least 12 civilians in a commercial area in central Baghdad on Monday.

A police officer said Tuesday that the explosives-laden car, which was left in a parking lot in the Shiite-dominated district of Karradah, exploded late Monday, wounding up to 28 people and damaging at least 15 cars.

An official in Sardasht told IRNA that the child was an eight-year-old boy.

The boy was playing with his two friends when they found a mine and started playing with it, Mir Ashkan Mahdavi said.

Because of the explosion, Mohammad Eliasi was killed on the spot and two other boys were injured, Mahdavi said.

The mine had been moved to Sardasht due to the soil erosion and rainfall, he noted.

The event is the second of its kind since the beginning of the Iranian calendar year on March 20, the official said.

Top Iranian, French Lawmakers Hold Talks in Tehran

larijani-Bartolone

Speaking at a joint press conference after a meeting with Bartolone in Tehran, Larijani said parliaments of the two nations share common views on the regional crises and battling terrorism.

He also noted that the talks have covered the latest developments in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, as well as the ways to enhance economic relations between Tehran and Paris.

For his part, Bartolone praised good relations between parliaments of Iran and France, saying useful negotiations have been held on nuclear agreements and economic relations between the two countries.

The visiting French lawmaker also noted that such meetings will help in implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear deal between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), and will also result in the removal of banking obstacles, presence of French businesses in Iran and expansion of economic ties.

Heading a parliamentary delegation from France, Bartolone is Iran for a two-day visit that will include meetings with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani.

Bartolone was expected to visit Iran in mid-July, but postponed his trip after a terrorist attack in the southern French city of Nice on July 14.

Iran Supports Measures Aimed at Stabilizing Oil Market: Minister

zanganeh

After an important meeting with visiting OPEC Secretary-General Mohammed Barkindo in Tehran on Tuesday, Zanganeh said most OPEC member states support oil prices at between $50 and $60 per barrel.

He said $55 per barrel would be reasonable, and said, “Such a price would make oil production cost-effective and beneficial for the OPEC members besides generating satisfactory revenue, and would also prevent their rivals from [unduly] raising production levels,” Zanganeh said.

Oil-exporting countries have been seeking a deal to cap production levels in an attempt to prevent a further drop in global oil prices, which in recent years saw a fall from a high of 147 dollars a barrel to a low of around 25 dollars. Saudi Arabia, however, has repeatedly hindered such a deal by insisting that Iran agree to the same low production level as that assigned for other countries.

Iran has time and again said that it is prepared to join an oil freeze plan but has argued that any such deal should take into account the special position of the country, which had been under sanctions impacting its oil production levels for a number of years.

Iran has made it clear that it would join a deal to cap production levels only after its crude production and market share reach the pre-sanctions level. Russia, a major oil producer but a non-OPEC member, has supported Iran’s position.

Elsewhere in his Tuesday remarks, the Iranian minister of petroleum said that during the meeting with Barkindo, he elaborated on the position Iran would take at the forthcoming OPEC meeting in Algeria and was briefed about the OPEC secretary general’s negotiations with other countries.

The upcoming OPEC meeting will be held on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum (IEF) in Algeria on September 26-28.

A key topic on the agenda of the talks — in which non-OPEC members will also participate — will be the promotion of stability in the oil market.

Iran, which is OPEC’s third largest producer, has been ramping up crude oil output since a nuclear agreement between Tehran and the Group 5+1 took effect on January 16, removing obstacles in the way of more crude production.

Iran’s Top Anti-Money Laundry Body Clears FATF Ambiguities

FATF

Here’s IRNA’s report on the statement, which is edited by IFP:

The FATF issued a statement on June 24, 2016, temporarily removing Iran from the list of its uncooperative countries. This came as the result of numerous actions taken by the Iranian government, Parliament and Judiciary in the past few years.

According to the statement by Iran’s Anti-Money Laundry Supreme Council, the moves included adopting laws against financing terrorism and other actions which legally bounded Iran to take action to eliminate shortcomings of the existing laws.

Quoting the FATF statement, the Iranian body noted, “The FATF welcomes Iran’s adoption of, and high-level political commitment to, an Action Plan to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, and its decision to seek technical assistance in the implementation of the Action Plan. The FATF therefore has suspended counter-measures for twelve months in order to monitor Iran’s progress in implementing the Action Plan. If the FATF determines that Iran has not demonstrated sufficient progress in implementing the Action Plan at the end of that period, FATF’s call for counter-measures will be re-imposed. If Iran meets its commitments under the Action Plan in that time period, the FATF will consider next steps in this regard.

Iran will remain on the FATF Public Statement until the full Action Plan has been completed. Until Iran implements the measures required to address the deficiencies identified in the Action Plan, the FATF will remain concerned with the terrorist financing risk emanating from Iran and the threat this poses to the international financial system. The FATF, therefore, calls on its members and urges all jurisdictions to continue to advise their financial institutions to apply enhanced due diligence to business relationships and transactions with natural and legal persons from Iran, consistent with FATF Recommendation 19. The FATF urges Iran to fully address its AML/CFT deficiencies, in particular those related to terrorist financing.

The FATF will continue to engage with Iran and closely monitor its progress. It also suspends counteractions against Iran.

The statement by the Iranian body said that the suspension of Iran is a positive step ahead towards removal of banking restrictions during the past years which had been unfairly imposed on Iran.

That is why, the statement went on to say, the recent FTAF statement is harshly hit by Zionist lobbies and certain other countries that favour continuation of restrictions against Iran.

Outlining the principles the FATF is following, the organization further said that cooperation with the FTAF is necessary and that all banks, financial institutes, companies and economic organizations across the globe are obliged to execute all anti-money laundry standards as well as those relating to financing terrorism.

That is why, all countries, are making every attempt not to be included in the list of uncooperative countries and if by any chance they get into the list speedily take actions to exit the list.

It went on to note that cooperation with the government is not limited to the period of the incumbent Iranian government but rather goes to previous cabinet who had taken extensive measures to start interactions with the FATF.

Divorce Decree, Not an Option during ‘Week of Marriage’

Marriage

Beside many other plans and programs for the Week of Marriage, courts all over the country are required to call the week off for divorce decrees, Sobhi said, as reported by Mehr, and translated by IFP.

This week, which marks the anniversary of the marriage between Imam Ali [the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad] and Fatimah [the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad), 750 couples will receive premarital education as well.

“The training courses for premarital education are being held in some provinces,” Sobhi said, regretting that 16 provinces have been left deprived of this opportunity.

He further voiced the government’s preparedness for running 5 to 10 centres of premarital counselling for each province in Iran.

In an interview with ISNA, as translated by IFP, Dr. Najmollah Tayefeh said that Dr. Tahriri and his team managed to build a four-channelled device that opens up an opportunity for patients to receive injections remotely.

Tayefeh noted that the mechanism of the device is quite analogous to the one in mobile systems and added, “The physician simply types the required USSD code in the device from anywhere in the world and receive information about the patient’s condition.”

“After receiving the patient’s test results, the physician can even prescribe the required medicine and update the device on new injection orders,” he went on to say.

According to him, the device can automatically inject the patient with the prescribed medicine.

Tayefeh stressed that the device has a beneficial option that, at specific hours during the day, it receives information about the patient’s medication and do the injection automatically.

He further announced that the first sample of the device, which is solely for injection, has been already produced.

“There are four channels mounted on the device, each equipped with one reservoir,” Tayefeh said, adding that “after the injection is finished, the syringe is automatically returned to the reservoir for getting refilled.”

Ayatollah Khamenei Urges Iranian Clerics’ Active Presence in Cyberspace

Supreme Leader

Giving lessons in a religious class in Tehran on Tuesday morning, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed regret about the unfamiliarity of some religious promoters with the new computer technologies and lack of awareness about the significance of the cyberspace.

“The virtual space has numerous advantages and disadvantages at the same time, while its opportunities should be used to promote the Islamic concepts on a broad scale,” the Leader underlined.

Imam Khamenei then pointed to the enemy’s huge investment and planning to undermine the Muslim people’s faith and beliefs, warning that the adversaries use the cyberspace to throw doubts in the society and produce contents against virtues and chastity to pervert the minds of pious youth and alienate them from religion.

The first and foremost responsibility of the clerics and religious scholars is developing the capability to counter the enemy’s plot for the elimination of religion and chastity, the Leader noted.

Ayatollah Khamenei has in many occasions warned of an extensive soft war the enemies have waged against Iran, saying one of the main objectives is to change the religious and political beliefs of people, particularly the youth.

Soft war is a term used by Iranian officials to refer to the cultural invasion and soft intelligence tactics used by foreign countries deemed hostile toward Iran.
