Iranian Spokesman Shrugs Off US Presidential Hopefuls’ Remarks on JCPOA

“Such statements are mostly campaign slogans as we have previously seen similar cases in some other countries,” Qassemi said in an interview Tuesday with Japan’s Kyodo News Agency in Tehran.

Principally, politicians’ stances change when they seize power, he said, adding that governments always adjust themselves to realities on the ground.

“The nuclear agreement is based on mutual understanding and if the US, someday, wants to violate the deal based on its immature perceptions, the other party (Iran) will do the same and we have no concerns about the issue,” the spokesman stressed.

In a ceremony last week during which New York billionaire Donald Trump formally accepted the Republican Party nomination for president, he said the Iran nuclear deal “gave us absolutely nothing” and “will go down in history as one of the worst deals ever negotiated.”

While the JCPOA, the 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) came into force in January, some Iranian officials complain about the US failure to fully implement the accord.

Back in March, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said Americans have yet to fulfill what they were supposed to do as per the nuclear deal.

Iran still has problems in its banking transactions or in restoring its frozen assets, because Western countries and those involved in such processes are afraid of Americans, the Leader said at the time, criticizing the US for its moves to prevent Iran from taking advantage of the sanctions removal.

Newspapers on Wednesday covered the remarks made by Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan as well as the former Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi in criticism of the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, known as JCPOA, and the other parties’ violation of their commitments. Dehqan, however, noted that the deal has been signed with the approval of the Establishment, not the government alone.

The change of the uniforms of Iran’s Rio Olympics Team also received wide coverage. The initial design was criticized by many Iranian social users. Then another Iranian designer offered new designs, which were welcomed by the public. In a rare move, the National Olympics Committee also gave in to the online pressures and accepted the new designs, commissioning the designer to prepare the uniforms in the short period of time remaining until the beginning of the games.

The above issues as well as many more are highlighted in the following headlines:

Sheikh Qassim Shuns Court Appearance, Trial Adjourned

Sheikh Isa Qassim

Sheikh Qassim’s trial was shelved after the cleric refused to appear in the court for allegedly money laundering, the Bahraini prosecutor general said.

He noted that the court had already issued a subpoena, but the cleric’s son refused to receive it.

Meanwhile, Bahraini sources reported that none of the alleged defendants from the opposition appeared in the court on Wednesday, saying August 14 has been set as the date for the next trial session.

Representative of Sheikh Qassim had already announced that the top cleric would definitely refuse to attend the Wednesday hearing.

The Al Khalifa regime announced on June 20 that the citizenship of Sheikh Qassim has been revoked, accusing him of sowing sectarian divisions.

Bahrain, a close ally of the US in the Persian Gulf region, has been witnessing almost daily protests against the ruling Al Khalifa dynasty since early 2011, with Manama using heavy-handed measures in an attempt to crush the demonstrations.

Scores of Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on the peaceful demonstrations.

Amnesty International and many other international rights organizations have frequently censured the Bahraini regime for the rampant human rights abuses against opposition groups and anti-regime protesters.

100,000 Satellite Equipment Destroyed by Voluntary Forces

Here is IFP’s translation of a report by Sobh-e Now newspaper:

In 2011, Iran’s Basij (voluntary forces) Organization called on Iranian people to hand over their satellite equipment and, in return, get a free set-top box. The plan has since been widely received by the Iranian society, and families are still handing over their dishes and receivers.

A couple of days ago, many people attended a ceremony held by Basij to destroy 1,000 pieces of satellite equipment.

Basij Chief Criticizes Iran’s Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance

On the sidelines of the ceremony, the Commander of Basij Forces Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi explicitly criticized the remarks recently made by Ali Jannati, Iran’s Minister of Culture.

When asked about Jannati’s call for a revision of the law on the use of satellite, Naghdi said, “Those in charge of cultural affairs should be truthful with people and avoid following what pleases them.”

Further on the issue, Naghdi questioned Jannati’s remarks and added, “If the Minister of Culture knows about any facts and statistics that corroborate the claim about the positive effects of satellite programs on strengthening family bonds and ties, we will be more than happy to hear them.”

According to him, satellite programs weaken the foundation of families and pervert the minds of young children, as they often tend to behave impolitely.

“We have to be honest with people and honesty entails telling the truth. I can give a categorical assurance that satellite programs undermine the foundation of families and most of them sow the seeds of corruption and promiscuity in the society,” he went on to say.

I Had Earlier Warned against Taliban’s Hard-Line Schools in Pakistan: Rafsanjani

Hashemi Rafsanjani

Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani recently met a prominent Shiite scholar from Pakistan. Here is IFP’s translation of ISNA’s report on the meeting.

“I had forewarned about the dire yet logical consequences of the fanatical, misleading education in these school,” Ayatollah Rafsanjani said a meeting with Grand Ayatollah Allama Hafiz Syed Riaz Hussain Najafi, the principal of Pakistan’s seminary Jamia-tul-Muntazar and a group of scholars from several Islamic seminaries including Copenhagen’s Madina-tul Elm, Islamabad’s Madina-tul-Elm and Qom’s Imam al-Muntazar.

Ayatollah Hashemi drew attention to the plight of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Libya, Palestine, Kashmir and Yemen, and added, “It breaks Muslims’ hearts to see these conflicts in the world of Islam.”

“Terrorist hardliners have tainted the reputation of Islam,” he said, adding that “Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS and many other terrorist outfits across the world are the offspring of these schools.”

Ayatollah Hashemi pointed to the historical, cultural and religious commonalities between Iran and Pakistan, and stressed, “Tehran and Islamabad should expand ties and strengthen relations based on these capacities in a bid to ameliorate the current situation towards friendship.”

Ayatollah Hashemi embellished his remarks by reciting verse 45 of surah Al-Anfal from the holy Quran that warns Muslims to beware of dispute.

At the end of the meeting, Ayatollah Najafi invited Ayatollah Hashemi to pay a visit to Pakistan.

Bahrain Crisis Settlement Needs Respect for Dissidents: Iranian Diplomat

Amir Abdollahian Deputy FM: Syrians Voted "No to Terrorism"
Amir Abdollahian Deputy FM: Syrians Voted "No to Terrorism"

“Freedom of Sheikh Ali Salman from illegal detention, preserving the dignity of Ayatollah (Sheikh) Isa Qassim, and ending security measures are necessary prerequisites for political settlement (of crisis) in Bahrain,” Hossein Amir Abdollahian, a former Iranian deputy foreign minister said on Tuesday.

Iran would not intervene in Bahrain’s internal affairs, but supports democracy, freedom of expression and human rights in the region, including Bahrain, Amir Abdollahian, now a special assistant of the parliament speaker for international affairs, added.

His comments came after the Manama regime’s announcement of decision to bring to trial senior Shiite cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim on charges of “illegal fund collections, money laundering and helping terrorism” on July 27.

Sheikh Qassim, 79, has already rejected the charges.

Responding to the accusations leveled by the Bahraini criminal court, opposition groups said Sheikh Qassim would not appear in the court.

Also in May, Bahrain’s Supreme Court of Appeal increased a four-year prison sentence already issued against another renowned Shiite cleric Sheikh Salman by five more years.

The Shiite cleric, Salman, who is the secretary general of Bahrain’s main opposition bloc al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, was arrested on December 28, 2014 after the Al Khalifa accused him of seeking regime change and collaborating with foreign powers.

Since 2011, the Manama regime has been cracking down on political dissent.
