Rouhani-Australia Ambassador

“We hope that Australia would treat asylum seekers within the framework of international laws and regulations as this issue is important to all of us on humanitarian grounds,” President Rouhani said Sunday at a meeting in Tehran with Australia’s new ambassador to Iran, Ian Biggs.

Elsewhere in his comments, the president noted that termination of “cruel sanctions” against Iran under 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)- has opened up new opportunities for enhancement of ties between Iran and Australia.

The new envoy, for his part, said Australia itself is concerned about the way immigrants are being treated, saying talks are in progress with relevant international organizations on the issue.

Biggs also stressed that the post-JCPOA era allows Iran and Australia to expand trade and economic interaction.

Back in March, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif paid a visit to Australia and held meetings with high-ranking officials, including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Minister of Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop.

Expansion of economic ties, illegal immigrants in Australia and their optional repatriation, the exchange of delegations between the states, and the Middle Eastern and global affairs were among the key points discussed between Zarif and Australian authorities.

Speaking at a Sunday meeting with new Pakistani Ambassador to Tehran Asif Ali Khan Durrani, President Rouhani said rapid implementation of the deals is necessary for closer economic cooperation between the two countries.

“Iran and Pakistan with their common interests and objectives have always been regarded as one another’s strategic depth,” he noted.

Rouhani further emphasized that Tehran welcomes promotion of relations with Islamabad in all spheres, economy in particular.

The Pakistani diplomat, for his part, highlighted the “strategic cooperation” between the two friendly countries in hard times and called for better economic and trade relations at the same level of the political ties.

During the meeting, Durrani submitted his credentials to the Iranian president.

Iran Unveils National Information Network

National Information Network

The ceremony was attended by Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mahmoud Vaezi, the secretary of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, and a number of other high-ranking officials.

The national network will offer a new internet system with higher security which will be up to 60 times faster than the best speeds currently available. It will be more secure compared to other networks in the country against potential cyber attacks.

On Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed efforts made by relevant officials in completing the internet system, saying that the information network “can be regarded as one of the key components of the country’s independence.”

“If people feel they have easy access to a national, reliable, stable, and safe (information) network, they will play a more effective role in the process of the country’s development,” he said.

The first phase of the country’s national network became operational after a gap of eleven years. Since the government first announced its plans for the national internet in 2005, it has clearly invested a lot in state of the art technology infrastructure – fiber optic cables, and new data centers to enable many more sites to be hosted inside the country rather than abroad.

Back in May, Vaezi announced that the country has completed its national information network and started providing various electronic services.

Speaking at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in the Swiss city of Geneva, he highlighted governments’ role in directing the internet, stressing that “using communications and information technology should pave the way for realization of a knowledge-based society and economy, cultural and scientific development, narrowing of social gaps in societies and improvement of their economic prosperity.”

He further emphasized that development of ICT (information and communications technology) is high on the agenda of President Rouhani’s administration.

Lionel Messi Signs T-Shirt of Pro-Assad Fan

“God May Protect Aleppo” read above the Syrian national flag on the T-shirt signed by Messi.

The social media activists forwarded images of the Argentinian star as signing the shirt by leaving comments like: “Messi signed the Syrian government flag”.

Many western and Arab media, including the Saudi-sponsored al-Arabiya website which supports the terrorists in Syria, also released Messi’s image, confirming that the person who is wearing the shirt is a pro-Assad football fan.

The Spanish newspaper “Sport” reported in 2013 that the Messi has donated 100,000 euro (130,000 dollars) to the children of Syria.

According to the Spanish newspaper, Messi earned 300,000 euro during a tour with his FC Barcelona in North America. He decided to donate a third of the sum to the children in Syria who are innocent victims of the ongoing war.

In March 2010 Messi was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, with the aim of supporting the rights of children.

The United Nations estimates that more than 100,000 people have been killed since the start of terrorists’ attacks in Syria.

Iran and Venezuela to Fortify “Strategic Alliance”

Zarif and Maduro

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who was in Caracas on the last leg of a Latin America tour, which had taken him to Cuba, Bolivia, Chile, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

“We are advancing in our bilateral cooperation as well as in matters of mutual interest for economic development … we are going to create a new dynamism in Venezuela-Iran relations,” Maduro said in a ceremony broadcast on state television.

The Venezuelan leader named chief general Jesus Gonzalez as the country’s new ambassador to Iran on Saturday.

Maduro later announced the creation of a special commission to follow up on their bilateral deals. In June 2015, the Venezuelan government and a high-level delegation from the Islamic Republic of Iran inked six deals on scientific, technological, economic and health cooperation.

Iran and Venezuela have forged friendly relations based on their aversion to colonial US policies and determination to preserve their independence.

Zarif expressed Iran’s interest in broadening cooperation with Venezuela and other Latin American countries, saying he was glad to consolidate economic ties between Caracas and Tehran.

Central bank authorities from the two countries signed an agreement on financial matters and Venezuelan foreign affairs chief Delcy Rodriguez said Caracas and Tehran were working to “continue strengthening” strategic alliances.

“The accord between the two central banks is the path to continue good relations. I am sure that with the accords signed tonight that we can increase and deepen our relations in a different field,” Zarif said.

Maduro said Venezuela’s oil minister and foreign minister would make announcements in the coming weeks about consensus with Iran on ways to stabilize oil market and strengthen OPEC.

“We continue to build common ground and a new consensus on stabilizing oil markets, strengthening industries, strengthening OPEC,” he said.

Among the Latin American countries, Iran has developed more advanced ties with Venezuela. The country is involved in a series of joint ventures worth several billion dollars in energy, agriculture, housing, and infrastructure sectors in Venezuela.

 

Iran Uses Its Power to Promote Global Peace: Venezuela Leader

Maduro described Iran as an “emerging power” in the world, stressing that the Islamic Republic uses its capacity to bring about peace for other nations.

Maduro made the remarks during a press conference following the meeting with Zarif.

He further said late President Hugo Chavez had correctly predicted that Iran is an emerging power in the 21st century both in the region and entire world, underlining the need for strengthening strategic ties with Tehran.

Unlike the US and Western states that take advantage of their influence to wage wars and loot the resources of other nations, the Islamic Republic use its power to promote peace, stability and development in other countries, Maduro said.

Highlighting Iran’s deep-rooted civilization, Maduro said the Islamic Republic has a historic culture based on peace and behaves towards other nations based on humanitarian diplomatic efforts.

He further drew a parallel between Iran’s Islamic Revolution and Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution, saying that both of them support dialogue between cultures, diversity and stability as well as an independent, peaceful world without discrimination.

Iran has turned into a role model for other countries as it managed to resist foreign pressure and economic sanctions and secure its right to develop in different sectors, including the peaceful nuclear energy, the Venezuelan president pointed out.

He further went on to say that the two countries would set up a joint technical commission tasked with monitoring the expansion of ties and implementation of economic and trade deals.

Zarif, for his part, also expressed Iran’s readiness to deepen economic and trade relations between Tehran and Caracas.

‘Iran, Venezuela Want Closer Friendship’

Earlier in the day, Zarif also took part in the joint Iran-Venezuela economic and trade summit on Saturday, with his Venezuelan counterpart, Delcy Rodriguez, also in attendance.

During the summit, Iran’s foreign minister underscored Tehran’s determination to preserve its flourishing relations with Venezuela, saying the two nations should further bolster their ties through closer economic cooperation, Press TV reported.

“The Iranian government and nation will keep up their strong and good relations with Venezuela as a country of resistance,” which is a legacy of the late president Hugo Chavez.

Zarif further hailed the former Venezuelan leader for adopting “revolutionary” policies in the face of foreign pressure.

Tehran and Caracas “enjoy highly warm and cordial relations, which are rooted in the resilience and pro-independence policies of both nations,” said Zarif, adding that the two sides should pursue “deeper, more strategic and more serious” ties.

The top Iranian diplomat has travelled to the region at the head of a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, comprising 120 businessmen and financial executives from government and private sectors.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Zarif pointed to the presence of high-ranking Iranian officials from both government and private sectors in the delegation accompanying him, saying this shows Iran’s willingness to enhance bilateral ties with Venezuela in different areas.

He further expressed hope that with the signing of an agreement between the two countries’ central banks would pave the way for enhanced economic ties between the two countries.

In turn, Rodriguez, who is also President Maduro’s deputy, said the Iranian delegation’s visit to Caracas shows the Islamic Republic’s strategic relations with Latin American states, particularly Venezuela.

Remembering Chavez as the founder of Tehran-Caracas ties, she noted Maduro is set to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor and preserve good relations with Iran.

“We were seeking to reinforce ties and unity among the two countries,” Rodriguez added. Iran and Venezuela are members of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and the Non-Aligned Movement and have common viewpoints on the strategic issues, she pointed out.

In an address to Zarif, the top Venezuelan diplomat also said, “Our country is your home and [you] are in your home.”

Following months of intelligence measures and operations by the province’s security forces, a major gang of kidnappers was identified and disbanded, Dadkhoda Salari said on Saturday.

He added that 13 hostages held by the 7-strong group were released during the operations.

The hostage takers chained and frequently tortured the hostages to make their families pay the ransom demanded by the outlaws, the official said.

All seven members of the gang were arrested by the security forces, he noted.

They were involved in a spate of crimes, including kidnapping, armed robbery, extortion, car theft, and home theft, Salari went on to say.

Alternative to Death Sentence Proposed for Drug Traffickers

Mohammad Bagher Olfat

According to a report by Tasnim, as covered by Reuters, Mohammad Baqer Olfat, the deputy head of judiciary for social affairs, stressed that “The execution of drug smugglers has had no deterrent effect.”

“We have fought full-force against smugglers according to the law, but unfortunately we are experiencing an increase in the volume of drugs trafficked to Iran, the transit of drugs through the country, the variety of drugs, and the number of people who are involved in it,” Olfat said.

He said he had suggested to the judiciary chief that traffickers should serve long prison terms with hard labour rather than being executed.

Mohammad-Javad Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Council, said in 2015 that more than 90 per cent of executions in the country were for drug-related crimes.

He said the death penalty has not led to a significant fall in drug-related crimes and that the policy must be re-evaluated.

The Islamic Republic seized 388 tonnes of opium in 2012, around 72 per cent of all such seizures globally, but it has lost many security personnel in skirmishes with drug traffickers in volatile regions bordering Afghanistan and also Pakistan.

In recent decades, Iran has been hit by drug-trafficking, mainly because of its 936-kilometre shared border with Afghanistan, which supplies over 90% of the world’s opium, the raw ingredient of heroin.

The United Nations has estimated in the past that opium trafficking accounts for up 15 per cent of Afghanistan’s gross domestic product, but the figure is expected to rise as international military and development spending declines with the NATO withdrawal at the end of 2014.

Iran is on a major transit route for drugs being smuggled from Afghanistan to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the country’s war on drug-traffickers has claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 Iranian police forces over the past 34 years.
