Leader Makes Donation to Charity Appeal to Free Prisoners

Iran Leader - Ayatollah Khamenei

The charity organization launches annual appeals in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to raise money for the release of deprived prisoners serving sentences for unintentional crimes.

The funds raised by the organization are used to pay Diyya (blood money) to the victim or heirs of the victim that the prisoners have harmed unintentionally.

In Islamic Sharia law, Diyya is the financial compensation paid to the victim or their next of kin in cases of murder, bodily harm or property damage. It is an alternative punishment to Qisas (equal retaliation).

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, marks the most special of all occasions for Muslims. It is a time for contemplation, devotion and remembrance of God. Tending to the welfare of the less fortunate members of the community and giving to the poor are among the important practices of the holy month.

Iran and Russia to Ramp Up Nano Cooperation

Iran-Russia

Saeid Sarkar, Head of Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC), said the sides also took decisions about 12 further cases of nano cooperation. “Russia has made good progress in the area of technology and Iran also has a high standing in the field of advanced technologies such as nano, bio, cognitive sciences and converged technology,” Sarkar said, stressing that the two countries’ technological cooperation will be of great benefit to both sides.

“The Iran-Russia High Commission on Technological Cooperation can prove to be very effective in providing the two countries with a chance to boost such cooperation and in the near future, the two sides can implement several operational projects,” he said.

Sarkar went on to add, “During the commission’s meeting, Russia agreed to provide Iranian researchers with their infrastructure, since this is a very special opportunity for them. We are also hoping to launch a number of projects in the field of advanced nano materials.”

“Russia has requested our carbon nanotubes and we will begin the technology transfer from Iran after evaluation. In return, a number of technologies such as anti-corrosion coatings will be transferred to Iran,” he said.

The third Iran-Russia High Commission on Technological Cooperation was held in Moscow early this June, with Iran’s VP for science and technology Sorena Sattari and his accompanying delegation in attendance. The commission, which was established last year and is co-chaired by Sattari and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, comprises 10 specialist committees and sub-committees in the fields of space and aeronautics, nanotechnology, biological and medical technology, energy, and information technology.

In May, Saeid Sarkar, while noting the presence of over 28,000 nanotechnology experts in Iran, said the country’s scientific ranking had improved this year to 6th, exceeding Japan, which now is ranked behind Iran after China, the US, India, South Korea and Germany.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s Sunday address to the new members of Iran’s Parliament was a top story in many newspapers. He briefed the MPs on the latest achievements of the JCPOA and provided them with statistics regarding the deal and its positive outcomes.

Today is the third anniversary of President Hassan Rouhani’s victory in the 2013 Presidential Elections. Several media discussed his 3-year performance, and Iran, in particular, published a special 128-page issue on the anniversary with many interviews and comments by popular figures from different social, economic, cultural, and political fields.

A recent terrorist attack in the US city of Orlando was also widely covered. The attack on a gay nightclub killed at least 50 and wounded dozens more.

Iranian media also covered recent statements by US officials denying Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks. The remarks received great coverage because they came shortly after the UN decision to remove Riyadh’s name from a blacklist of children’s rights violators under Saudi pressure.

CAIR Leader Condemns Attack in Orlando Mass Shooting

The gunman, identified by US media as an alleged Daesh [ISIS] sympathizer named Omar Mateen, a US citizen of Afghan descent from Port St. Lucie, Florida, took hostages at the club and barricaded himself in the complex but was later killed by specially trained SWAT units. Daesh later claimed responsibility for the attack, according to media outlets affiliated with the terror group.

“Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the victims and their families… This is a hate crime, plain and simple. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms. It violates our principles as Americans and as Muslims,” Nihad Awad, CAIR’s National Executive Director, said on Sunday.

“We will not give into hate. We will not give into fear,” he added.

Awad insisted that Daesh is an outlawed group which doesn’t represent Muslims. “You do not speak for us. You do not represent us. You are an aberration, you are an outlaw … they don’t speak for our faith. They never belonged to this beautiful faith.”

He called for unity among all Americans and warned politicians against exploiting the tragedy to score points. “And to those politicians who may try to exploit this tragedy, we ask them to respect the victims and their families. This is not the time to score points. This is not the time to exploit fear. This is the time for unity and faith.”

The remarks come after presumptive Republican presidential nominee used the attack to push ahead with his anti-Muslim rhetoric. Donald Trump said the shooting further proved [the correctness of] his xenophobic campaign.

“Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic [sic] terrorism,” he said. “I don’t want congrats, I want toughness and vigilance. We must be smart!”

Trump called to bar all Muslims from entering the United States while campaigning in primary season.

Earlier, US President Barack Obama denounced the Orlando shooting as an act of terror and hatred, and ordered the American flag lowered to half-mast to honour the victims.

“Today as Americans we grieve the brutal murder, a horrific massacre of dozens of innocent people,” Obama said during a White House address to the nation.

“Although it is early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate,” he added.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said it is investigating both domestic and international connections to the mass shooting.

The suspect allegedly called 911 moments before the attack, pledging allegiance to the terror group, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing a federal law enforcement official.

Zarif to Discuss JCPOA Commitments with Kerry in Oslo

Zarif-02

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in the Norwegian capital of Oslo on Sunday night, June 12, Zarif pointed to his plans for the new round of his European tour, saying that he will participate in the Oslo Forum and hold meetings with senior Norwegian officials on a range of issues, including ways to boost bilateral relations in various areas.

In his three-day visit to Norway, Zarif will deliver a speech at the Oslo Forum on Tuesday, he said, adding that on the sidelines of the international event, he will meet with Kerry and discuss US commitments under the nuclear deal between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The Iranian top diplomat also said he also plans to visit Berlin for a few hours to meet with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier and hold talks on various bilateral and regional issues.

While the JCPOA, a 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 came into force in January, some Iranian officials have complained about the US failure to fully implement the accord.

Earlier in March, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed 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 sanctions removal.

Academic Describes Canada’s Seizure of Iranian Assets as Unprecedented

By
IFP Editorial Staff

Kadkhodaei

A court in Canada recently issued a verdict giving $13m of Iran’s non-diplomatic assets to the families of Americans who died in several attacks blamed on Iran.

In reaction to the court ruling, Kadkhodaei, also a former spokesman for Iran’s Guardian Council, published an article in Jame Jam newspaper, which is translated by IFP.

“Based on the principles of national sovereignty and the independence of countries, they should deal with their domestic affairs themselves, and in turn, not interfere with the interests of other countries,” Kadkhodaei said in his article.

Of course in very limited and exceptional cases, different countries are internationally allowed to prosecute such crimes as piracy, but such cases are very rare, Kadkhodaei noted.

Generally speaking, no state is allowed to put another state on trial in its domestic courts and issue verdicts for them, he went on to say.

The only exception to this principle was the US, which recently robbed Iran’s assets, Kadkhodaei noted, referring to a similar case of a US court ruling seizing nearly $2bn of Iran’s assets.

Canada’s recent court ruling to confiscate Iran’s property ignored the Canadian state’s qualification for such a verdict and also violated the independence and sovereignty of other states, he added.

“The move was unprecedented in the history of international law, and is not at all accepted by other countries, because accepting such moves would lead to chaos in the international system,” Kadkhodaei asserted.

[Based on such actions] One could no longer expect to have order in the international community, and from now on, states are going to take legal action against each other in their domestic courts, he noted.

“This will disrupt the international system’s stability and sustainability, and thus, such measures have no legal justification in the international community.”

The judgment by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice found Tehran responsible for financing and training Hamas and Hezbollah operatives, who purportedly carried out eight bombings or hostage-takings in Buenos Aires, Israel, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia between 1983 and 2002.

The move by Ottawa came after the US Supreme Court ruled on April 20 that Iran’s assets frozen in a bank account, which are worth around $2bn, should be turned over to American families of those killed in a 1983 bombing in Beirut and other attacks blamed on Iran. Tehran has denied any role in the attacks.

The ruling for the $13m payout does not affect Iran’s diplomatic property in Canada, but does touch non-diplomatic properties and a list of frozen bank accounts, the report added.

This is while Canadian Foreign Minister Stéphane Dion confirmed on Friday June 10 that Ottawa had started “official” talks with Tehran in an attempt to renew ties with the Islamic Republic following a lasting nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

“Talks have started, yes, at the official level,” Dion said.
