The air defence base is protecting 3,700 sensitive and critical sites inside the country and beyond the borders, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili said in a speech on Sunday May 5.

“[Iran’s] air defence doctrine is based on 360-degree threat (detection and assessment) and therefore all of our artillery, radar, missile, electronic surveillance and monitoring systems should be aware of each other and act as an integrated network to have a coherent defence,” the commander went on to say.

Back in April, Lieutenant Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defence Base General Ali Reza Sabahi-Fard had said that there has been a 1.5-fold increase in the number of the Air Defence missile sites across the country over the past five years.

He also noted that the country’s radar stations had doubled in number in the same period.

Thanks to advanced, home-grown radars, some with ranges over 1,000km, Iranian forces can monitor the enemies from home, General Sabahi-Fard added.

Rouhani and Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani met with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in Tehran on Sunday evening, where the two sides highlighted mutual cooperation in various fields of economy, culture, trade, energy, transit and transportation, agriculture and tourism.

“Today, in the post-sanctions period, a good opportunity for expanding trade and economic relations has presented itself to Iran and Armenia, and we should make the best of this opportunity to further promote the level of our bilateral cooperation in all areas,” Rouhani said.

“We have the opportunity to connect the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf through Armenia, and for this end, are ready to provide Yerevan with technical and engineering services.”

Rouhani further called for the establishment of security and stability in the region and for the peaceful settlement of regional conflicts, stressing that the Islamic Republic would spare no effort in extending help to the countries in the region.

“In today’s turbulent regional situation, it is imperative for us and regional countries to boost cooperation and friendship so that small issues will not turn into new pretexts for terrorist activities,” Rouhani noted.

The Armenian Foreign Minister, for his part, said his country is keenly interested in cementing all-out relations with Iran, saying “The implementation of Iran nuclear deal has created perfect conditions for strengthening the two countries’ relations and promoting regional peace and stability.”

Iran to Set Up Offshore Bank in Kish Island: Report

According to the report carried by Forbes magazine on Sunday May 5, Iran will set up a bank on Kish Island, which is a free trade zone, to transfer money and facilitate domestic and foreign investment activities. The report added that it will be established in July, citing a source in the Kish Free Zone Organization.

The aim is to tap into rising demand for cross-border banking transactions, according to comments by Ali Jirofti, deputy head of the Kish Free Zone Organization.

It comes as some European banks are still tentative in re-engaging with Iranian financial entities despite a lasting nuclear between Iran and six world powers.

The banks’ conservatism and wait-and-see approach comes from the fear they could face US legal action if they move to re-establish links with Iran.

Several Iranian officials have warned European banks that they might miss out on opportunities provided by the lifting of sanctions if they continue to dawdle on returning to the country.

Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takhtravanchi said back in March that European banks are being overcautious in forging renewed connections with Iran, warning that they “Will fall behind in the new situation.”

Supreme Committee Monitoring JCPOA Implementation

Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran on Monday May 6, Hossein Jaberi Ansari said the Foreign Ministry’s policy is to protect the country’s interests on the basis of major foreign policy approaches to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The issue of “violation” of the nuclear deal will be discussed at the level of the supreme monitoring committee, which receives reports from the Foreign Ministry and other organizations on the ongoing developments in the process of JCPOA implementation, he added.

Jaberi Ansari also noted that the Foreign Ministry gives priority to subjects such as various dimensions of the removal of sanctions and the resumption of banking ties under the deal, stressing that a set of measures and diplomatic contacts with different countries are underway to make sure the other side is adhering to the deal.

While the JCPOA, the 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.

In late April, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said major global banks’ reluctance to work with Iran results from Washington’s intimidating policies and its push for provoking Iranophobia.

Iranian-Made App Predicts Tree Damage

Nozar Nozari, the app developer, told Mehr that Derakhtban (meaning Tree Protector) can receive location and appearance information about the tree and connect to weather stations (synoptic charts providing information on air pressure, rainfall, wind and temperature), analyse the data and predict the time of the tree being uprooted or broken with 87% precision.

He went on to add that his application has the option to store data on a geographical information system (GIS), and can inform the gardener of the date of frost with high precision.

According to him, Derakhtban can predict soil moisture and suggest an appropriate time for watering, thus having the highest efficiency in terms of water consumption.

“Derakhtban can receive information about the types of trees and identify pests and other problems, then offer solutions to the gardener,” he said.

Nozari stressed that his application has been designed for the very first time and has no similar domestic or foreign version.

Iran LPG

“The high quality of exported items has brought with it wide demand for them, and many countries have indicated their readiness to buy LPG from Iran,” said Hamidreza Araqi in an exclusive interview with Shana.

He said all the LPG and sulphur produced by Iran are being sold, with a major part of them being sold overseas.

“The NIGC has put the marketing of these products high on its agenda,” said Araqi.

He said that once new phases of the supergiant South Pars gas field come on-stream, Iran will be able to enhance exports of sideline products, ensuring a firmer foothold in international markets.

Iran’s sulphur output grew by at least 20% in the month of Farvardin (the first month of the Iranian calendar from March 20 to April 19) year-on-year, he said.

Iran exports 5m tons of LPG annually, which is expected to dramatically increase once new phases of the South Pars gas field come online.
