India Clears Part of Iran Oil Dues ahead of Modi’s Visit

According to a report carried by the Business Standard, Indian refiners cleared part of their $6.5 billion debt to Iran in euros through Turkey’s Halkbank.

Essar Oil has to pay Iran about $3.1 billion, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd owes $2.8 billion, and Indian Oil Corp owes $581 million. HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd (HMEL) has to pay $97 million and Hindustan Petroleum Corp owes $29 million.

This is the first payment to Iran by India since the removal of anti-Tehran sanctions and it is not yet known when the second instalment will be paid, the report added.

It was paid one day before a visit by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Tehran beginning on Sunday. The Indian prime minister will arrive in the Iranian capital on May 22 at the invitation of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

The visit will come after Indian Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj travelled to Tehran in April to discuss ways to bolster energy cooperation between the two nations.

International interest in ties with Iran has been growing since Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015 finalized a comprehensive nuclear deal and started implementing it on January 16.

The agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), terminated all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.

New Zealand FM Calls for Closer Tehran-Wellington Ties

Speaking at a joint press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif here in Tehran on Saturday, McCully said he has made the trip to Iran due to his commitment to boosting the relations between the two countries.

New Zealand’s top diplomat further expressed the hope that through political and economic negotiations, new opportunities would be provided for the two countries to strengthen Tehran-Wellington ties.

Zarif, for his part, said that over the past months, good relations have been established between the two sides, which will further expand with upcoming visits to Iran by various delegations from New Zealand.

Back in March, Zarif paid an official visit to New Zealand as part of his tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania, which also took him to Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and Australia.

During his trip to New Zealand, the Iranian top diplomat held separate meetings with senior officials of the Oceanian country, including Prime Minister John Phillip Key.

The new wave of interest in ties with Iran follows the finalization of a nuclear deal between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015.

The comprehensive nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), came into force on January 16, terminating all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.

Kuwaiti MP to Sponsor Legal Action against Saudi Arabia’s Terrorist Activities

According to a report by Al-Manar news website, which was also covered by Al-Alam TV, Dashti is going to establish a worldwide coalition including international lawyers and jurists on behalf of terror victims in the US.

Sources close to Dashti said he himself would pay all the expenses of the coalition, which is formed to show the true and peaceful image of Arabs and Muslims to the world, and to all those people hurt by Saudi Arabia’s terrorism.

The move came after the US Senate on Tuesday, May 17, approved legislation that would allow victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, defying vocal opposition from the White House.

The bill would allow victims of terror attacks on US soil or surviving family members to bring lawsuits against nation-states for activities supporting terrorism.

The legislation will now head to the House, where lawmakers have also introduced their own version of the bill.

The legislation has also drawn criticism from the Saudi government. Top Saudi officials reportedly threatened to sell off billions of dollars in U.S. assets if Congress passed the bill.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, pushed back against the reports in Geneva earlier this month while warning that the legislation could impact Saudi investments.

Afghan Leader, India PM Due in Iran to Discuss Chabahar Port

Modi is due in Tehran on May 22-23. The Iranian Embassy in Kabul said the exact date of Ghani’s trip was yet to be determined but he will be in Tehran concurrent with Modi for inking the MoU on the Chabahar Port.

The Afghan and Indian officials are scheduled to take part in a ceremony aimed at breaking the ground for the development of the strategic port of Chabahar.

This will be Ghani’s second official visit to Iran since taking office in September 2014. He first visited Iran last April to discuss Tehran-Kabul cooperation on a wide range of issues.

Modi will be visiting Iran for the first time.

In 2003, Iran and India agreed to develop the Port of Chabahar which sits on the Gulf of Oman.

The project was, however, suspended following the imposition of sanctions against Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program.

In May 2014, India and Iran signed an MoU to jointly develop the port once the international sanctions against Iran were lifted. Sanctions against Iran were lifted after Iran and its negotiating partners started implementing the Iranian nuclear agreement on January 16.

The Chabahar route will allow Indian goods to reach Afghanistan via the Iranian port of Chabahar without crossing Pakistan’s territory.

Chabahar is located in the Gulf of Oman on the border with Pakistan. It is the closest and best access point of Iran to the Indian Ocean and Iran has devised serious plans to turn it into a transit hub for immediate access to markets in the northern part of the Indian Ocean and Central Asia.

Asghar Farhadi’s Latest Film Warmly Received by Critics in Cannes

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Here’s IFP’s coverage of various reviews by famous critics published in the social media. On covering the reviews, we used a Farsi report by Donyaye Tasvir film magazine.

 

The Salesman was screened on Friday night for critics and media professionals one day before the official screening at Cannes 2016.

Many film critics who watched the film at Debussy Theater expressed their spontaneous reactions in their Twitter accounts.

Matthew Anderson, the editor of BBC Culture, said that, “[I] Saw Asghar Farhadi’s intense moral drama, The Salesman, at Cannes 2016. Give this film the Palme d’Or!!”

He also gave the best rating, five stars, to the Iranian director’s promising film.

Donald Clarke, the film correspondent for The Irish Times, said, “[The Salesman’s] Treads similar ground to A Separation (mystery within marriage), but [a] bit drier and more academic. Still gripping.”

Well-known columnist and writer Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere wrote that “Asghar Farhadi’s ‘Salesman’ is about suspicion, rage, territoriality, revenge, guilt, compassion.  But the underlying current is chauvinism.”

Peter Howell, a movie critic for the Toronto Star, said that the Salesman is “the slow drip of human frailty and its consequences, expertly measured out by Asghar Farhadi. Quietly devastating.”

David Jenkins, an editor in Little White Lies magazine, described the film as “a big climactic set-piece built on dramatic sand.”

Jordan Ruimy, a film writer for AwardsDaily and IndieWire, said, “I think it’s quite clear The Salesman is not A Separation, but, then again, what is? Great movie, badly needed after the Penn.”

Bilge Ebiri, a film critic for the Village Voice, also noted that Farhadi’s The Salesman was an “expertly made” movie.

Chief Film Critic of the Variety, Owen Gleiberman, said that “the new movie from Asghar Farhadi, the masterly Iranian director of ‘A Separation’ and ‘The Past,’ is another finely cut gem of neorealist suspense.”

“When you watch a Farhadi film like ‘A Separation’ or ‘The Past’ or his new one, ‘The Salesman’, you’re seduced, almost by a kind of invisible reverse trickery, into a situation of clear-eyed naturalism, except that you also start to realize you’re caught in a gathering storm, and it has everything to do with the shifting interior sands of the people onscreen. You’re caught up in something that can only be called suspense, and it’s galvanizing, but the suspense hinges purely on what’s going on in the characters’ hearts and minds,” Gleiberman said.

“The Salesman, rather uncharacteristically for Farhadi, opens on a note of stark cataclysm… For a healthy stretch, the film is even more low-key, minimal, and contained than the earlier Farhadi films. Yet the writer-director’s technique is just as assured as before. Every shot is in place, every line leading to an outcome that feels quietly up for grabs,” he went on to say.

Ali Moallem, the editor-in-chief of Donyaye Tasvir, said, “The Salesman, fortunately, was a very successful movie in story-telling, and the audiences were all sitting bolt upright. Now we can say it for sure that Farhadi is the best story-teller in Iranian contemporary cinema.”

“Farhadi knows the turning points, and beginning and the end of his story, and directs his stage and actors. This is why story-telling, which is considered to be a very easy job by many people, takes place in the best way possible in ‘The Salesman’,” the Iranian film critic added.

In her review published in the Play List, Jessica Kiang writes that, “There is no greater chronicler of the minute but manifold disappointments and disillusionments of which irreparable rifts in relationships are made than Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. His last four films — ‘Fireworks Wednesday,’ ‘About Elly,’ ‘A Separation’ and ‘The Past’ —  have all examined compromised coupledom in some way. And all have proven Farhadi’s astonishing capacity to trace the ramifications of the incredibly ordinary — an unanswered door, a well-meaning white lie, a forgotten phone — as they unspool with tick-tock clockwork logic toward extraordinary climaxes, that feel both inevitable and unexpected. His new film, ‘The Salesman,’ is entirely in that mold, though it’s less about a separation than a sundering, about a splinter that opens up a chasm in a marriage that in turn exposes a gulf in Iranian society.”

Also in an article in The Wrap, Debbie Emery says, “Going into the Cannes Film Festival, Asghar Farhadi‘s “The Salesman” seemed an early favorite to win the gold. Now that the film has screened, we can say for certain that Farhadi absolutely remains a force to reckon with.”

Hollywood Reporter’s Deborah Young also writes that, “Returning to film in his native Iran after the French interlude of The Past, Asghar Farhadi continues his exploration of the dark side of the soul, using a traumatic assault to trigger a young husband’s uncontrollable thirst for revenge.”

“Lacking the astounding social complexity of his Academy Award winning drama A Separation, here the gears are not so hidden and a sense of contrived drama leads to some tedious sections. But all is forgiven when the final punches are delivered in a knock-out finale that leaves the viewer tense and breathless,” she added.

“At this point there’s not much doubt that Farhadi’s work has revolutionized new Iranian cinema, pulling it out of the much-beaten path of realism and self-reflection pioneered by directors like Abbas Kiarostami and Mohsen Makhmalbaf and onto a new, highly dramatized and theatrical road. The Salesman takes this tendency to its limits, even incorporating a theater play into its story of hurt pride and revenge,” Young reported.

Extremism, Violence Common Threat to All Nations, Iran’s Zarif Says

Zarif on Friday pointed to the insecurity caused by terror groups and their heinous crimes in the Middle East region and the world, and said, “Today, the same violence that exists in Syria is occurring in Paris.”

“We are all sitting in the same boat and nobody can escape from the reality and we should accept that fates of all of us are integrated,” he said, speaking at the closing ceremony of the 5th Iran International Green Film Festival in Tehran.

Zarif was referring to recent attacks in Europe by terrorist groups operating in Syria, including November 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 and suicide bombings in Brussels in March, which left 32 dead. ISIS (also known as ISIL or Daesh) terrorist group claimed responsibility for both attacks.

Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed insurgency with various terrorist groups, including ISIS, controlling parts of the country.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Zarif emphasized that Iranians are opposed to violence against human being, nature and living creatures, calling for efforts to use the arts to introduce the rich culture to the world.

Iran Newspaper front pages

Almost all newspapers on Saturday covered the visit of President Hassan Rouhani to the holy city of Qom and his meetings with senior clerics. Pro-government, independent, and reformist media highlighted the support and praises expressed by clerics for the government, and certain conservative newspapers focused on their pieces of advice on the resolution of Iran’s economic problems.

Meanwhile, a controversial “humour” conference was also held in Tehran, and many conservative figures including Mayor of Tehran Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, IRGC Navy Commander Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, and chief of Kayhan newspaper Hossein Shariatmadari attended the gathering. Again, conservative media covered it as an amusing conference warmly received by students and officials, and reformists described it as another attack on the administration.

A recent statement by world powers encouraging European banks and businesses to do business with Iran was also widely covered. Conservatives downplayed it as yet another show of commitment on paper, and reformists described it as a result of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s consultations, which have borne fruit.

Japan’s Ex-PM Urges Tehran-Tokyo Enhanced Ties

By
Golrokh Askarieh
-

“I hope that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Tehran and six world powers would help Iran and Japan further improve their relations,” Fukuda said at a Friday meeting with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araqchi in Tokyo.

Araqchi, for his part, briefed the Japanese official on the latest developments pertaining to the implementation process of the nuclear deal.

In his two-day visit to Japan, the senior Iranian diplomat also held talks with members of Japan’s International Friendship Exchange Council (FEC), members of the parliamentary friendship group of Liberal-Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) and his Japanese counterpart Shinsuke Sugiyama.

During his meetings with Japanese officials and reporters in Tokyo, Araqchi expressed optimism that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s upcoming visit to Iran would help promote relations between the two Asian countries.

Japan’s Abe plans to visit Iran in late August to strengthen economic ties between the two nations, according to reports by Japanese media. He will be the first Japanese prime minister to visit the Islamic Republic in 38 years.

The visit will come against the backdrop of a new wave of interest in ties with Iran after Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015 reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on Tehran’s nuclear program and started implementing it on January 16.

The comprehensive nuclear deal, known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, terminated all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.

Experts believe that Iran’s economic growth would rise remarkably after the final nuclear deal takes effect.

Global Banks Need Immunity from Allegations of Sanctions Breaches: CBI Chief

“Some movement and western officials have made some positive pronouncements, but banks need tangible reassurances that they would be immune from baseless allegations (of sanctions breaches),” Valiollah Seif told the Guardian in an interview published on Friday.

He made the remarks on the sidelines of the Euromoney Iran Conference in London. The aim of the one-day conference was to provide a platform for Iranian and international banks to discuss the necessary steps for Iran’s re-integration into the international financial community.

Seif further said that obstacles preventing Iranian banks from rekindling ties with the global financial system show that the US and the EU have failed to comply with their commitments under the nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“Banks need enough reassurances, even if this means rewriting guidelines or revising regulations, or giving banks written guarantees,” he said.

“Until our western interlocutors have fully fulfilled their obligations under the nuclear deal, we won’t see a real change in our banking relations.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, the top Iranian banker called on London to help Iranian banks resume their activities in the British capital.

“Our first expectation from Britain is to provide assistance so that our Iranian banks can start operating in London again,” he said.

Seif said Iran was unable to repay its debts to some of its foreign suppliers during the sanctions years because it did not have access to any payments channel, even though it had enough money.

Moreover, restriction on Iran’s access to the dollar system has created serious issues, Seif said, even in cases where no dollars are exchanged, he added.

“If we want to change Omani rials to euros, we don’t need dollars, but the system is designed in a way that it has to be changed to dollars first, then euros. They should find a way for us to resolve this issue.”

Seif further said that Inflation has declined from 45% in 2013 to around 8% recently, the foreign exchange market has stabilized, and some key reforms have been executed after the implementation of the JCPOA in January.

Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015 finalized a comprehensive deal on Tehran’s nuclear program and implemented it on January 16.

 

However, some Iranian officials have complained about the US failure to fully implement the accord.

Two months ago, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Americans have yet to fulfil 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, Imam Khamenei said, criticizing the US for its moves to prevent Iran from taking advantage of the sanctions removal.

Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan Resolved to Enhance Strategic Ties

By
IFP Editorial Staff

Here’s IFP’s translation of a report by Kurdpress.

During the meeting held in the Kurdish capital on Thursday, Zahedi highlighted the importance of mutual cooperation in security fields, stressing that Iran considers the security of Kurdistan as its own.

Abdol Hamid Zahedi“The Islamic Republic of Iran will remain a supporter of oppressed regional nations, especially the people of Kurdistan region, as it has always been,” he noted, referring to the threats of ISIS (also known as ISIL or Daesh) terrorist group.

He also pointed to the commercial ties between the two sides, and urged the swift development of bilateral relations given the existing capacities.

Sinjari, for his part, underlined that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is willing to further deepen its highly important cooperation with Iran.

“The relations of the Iraqi Kurdistan region with the Islamic Republic of Iran are of strategic importance; we are trying to broaden them,” Sinjari said.

He reiterated that the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan region will always remember Iran’s assistance during the difficult times.

In April, KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani praised the Iranian government and nation for assisting the Kurdish civilians to overcome ISIS threats and other security crises in Iraq.

“Iran has played a very positive role during the ISIS attack on Iraq’s Kurdistan region,” Barzani said in a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad Hassan Danayee Far in Erbil.

The Iranian governor arrived in the Kurdish region on Wednesday at the head of a delegation. The visit is aimed at boosting bilateral ties, particularly in trade and security.
