Syrian Forces Advance in Terrorist-Held Areas in Daraa, Latakia

According to Tasnim dispatches, Syrian forces carried out several operations in the northern suburbs of Latakia, clearing many areas in the province from terrorists and inflicting heavy losses on them.

A military source said terrorists have been surrounded by Syrian army forces in Kinsabba, a town in northwestern Syria in Latakia Province, which is on the verge of liberation, adding that they had received continual support from Turkish borders.

In another operation, an army unit destroyed a vehicle and mortar launcher for Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists northeast of al-Nueimeh town, 4 km east of the city of Daraa SANA quoted a military source as saying on Tuesday.

All members of a terrorist group were killed in an army operation against the positions of the so-called “Liwa al-Mutasem Billah” in Tafas town, 13 km north of Daraa, the source added.

The army also destroyed a command center, several vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and strongholds of terrorists in al-Abassiyeh and al-Manshiyeh neighborhoods and near the Old Customs in Daraa al-Balad area in Daraa, according to the report.

Syria has been entangled in civil war since March 2011. Takfiri terrorist groups controls parts of the Arab country, mostly in the east.

Meanwhile, Russia’s aerial support for the Syrian forces has given fresh impetus to the fight against the foreign-backed terrorists.

Since late September 2015, Russia has been carrying out bombings against Daesh terrorists in Syria, after Russia’s parliament granted President Putin authorization to deploy the country’s air force abroad.

More than 250,000 people have died in Syria -overwhelmingly civilians- and around 4 million Syrian people are now refugees in other countries. Around 8 million others have been displaced internally.

Saudi troops in Syria very dangerous: Iran official

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani made the remark at a meeting with visiting Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Tehran.

Saudi Arabia has expressed readiness to contribute special forces to a US-led coalition that is purportedly hitting Daesh in Syria. Bahrain and the UAE have also hinted at similar deployments.

“Although claims made by these countries are by no means proportionate to their military capabilities, the potential presence of ground troops without the legitimate consent or request of the Syrian government amounts to an interventionist and highly dangerous decision with unfathomable security repercussions for all the regional countries as well as Europe,” Shamkhani said.

Any military incursion would be “a step backward and disregardful of all the efforts that have been undertaken to resolve the [Syrian] crisis,” he added.

“There is no military solution to Syria’s crisis; and the establishment of calm and stability in this country is only possible through inter-Syrian dialog as a means of realizing the Syrian people’s will and demands,” the Iranian official said.

Addressing the Greek premier, the Iranian official said, “Greece has been on the forefront of… the issue of Syrian and Iraqi refugees… and clearly feels the several security and economic problems resulting from it.”

Greece has been serving as the entry point for more than a million refugees who have been fleeing war and misery in the Middle East for more than a year now.

Tsipras, for his part, asserted that Athens was leading an “independent policy” vis-à-vis the Syrian issue.

‘West’s propagandist terrorism’

Addressing a conference hosted in the Iranian capital on Tuesday under the title “The Coalition of Elites against Terrorism,” Shamkani blasted the West for using Daesh to serve its its Islamophobia agenda.

“Accusing Muslims of creating insecurity in the world and casting Islam in a bad light is also a type of media and propagandist terrorism,” he said

All scholars in the Muslim world, either Shia or Sunni, are of the opinion that the actions of Takfiri terrorist groups are illegitimate, he said.

Shamkhani also said that, “Besides military efforts, an intellectual and cultural fight is also required to dry out the roots of terrorist groups such as Daesh.”

Simorgh is an Iranian expendable small-capacity orbital carrier rocket, which was scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2010. It was unveiled by Iraninan President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 3 February 2010, as part of celebrations of the first anniversary of the launch of Omid, the first indigenously-launched Iranian satellite.

Emad is an Iranian-designed, liquid-fuel, intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a claimed range of 1,700 km and 750 kg payload. The missile was presented by Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan on 11 October 2015. Emad features a newly designed reentry vehicle with a more advanced guidance and control system, making it the country’s first IRBM that is precision-guided.

Swiss Firm TOLGA Eager to Invest in Iran’s Solar Industry

During a joint meeting with officials of Iran’s Energy Ministry as well as Renewable Energy Organization in Tehran, senior executives from TOLGA expressed their keenness for cooperation in Iran’s solar power generation industries.

In the meeting held Monday, the Iranian officials outlined the country’s investment process and capacities in the field of photovoltaic and renewable forms of energy.

TOLGA officials said that they are ready to invest in construction of photovoltaic power plants to generate electricity in Iran.

Both side agreed to finalize the details of cooperation in another meeting in the near future.

Iran is the biggest producer of electricity in the Middle East, generating over 70,000 megawatt-hours.

The meeting came after 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.

The comprehensive nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), terminated all nuclear-related sanctions on Iran after coming into force.

Saudis Unable to Attack Syria: Iranian General

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Tuesday, the general highlighted Saudi Arabia’s inability to take military action in Syria, saying the Al Saud has spent all its capacities over the past years in Iraq and Yemen as well as Syria, where its mercenaries have been fighting against the Damascus government.

Since the beginning of conflicts in the region, Saudi Arabia has played a role in creating, dispatching and supporting terrorists, he added.

General Jazayeri also noted that with the grace of God and thanks to strong resistance from the people of the region, the Saudi Arabian military forces and their regional allies have failed to reach their objectives, which are in line with the policies of the US and Zionism.

The comments came after Riyadh on Thursday voiced readiness to participate in any ground operations in Syria if the US-led coalition purportedly targeting terrorists decides to start such operations.

Saudi Arabia is a member of the so-called US-led coalition that has been conducting air raids against what are claimed to be the Daesh (ISIL) terrorists inside Syria without any authorization from the Syrian government or a UN mandate since September 2014.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad underscored during an interview in March 2015 that the US-led military campaign does not aim to “do away” with the terror group.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with Takfiri terrorists from various groups, including Daesh, currently controlling parts of it.

According to the United Nations, more than 250,000 people have been killed and one million wounded during the conflict.

Islamic Revolution’s Ideology Diametrically Opposed to Takfirism: Iran’s Shamkhani

By
Emad Askarieh

Addressing a conference on Takfiri terrorism in Tehran on Tuesday, Shamkhani described the 1979 Islamic Revolution as a “role model” for the Islamic Awakening movements that is “diametrically opposite” to Takfiri thinking.

The Islamic Revolution, led by the late Imam Khomeini, established a new political system in Iran based on Islamic values and democracy.

Shamkhani further emphasized that the West is using Takfiri terrorist groups, like Daesh (ISIL), as a tool to pursue its policy of spreading Islamophobia.

The objective behind Islamophobia is to undermine the holy status of Islam and its progressive rules and justify secularism in the region and the world, the Iranian official stated.

Daesh, as a Takfiri group in Iraq and Syria, is believed to be supported by the West and some regional Arab countries.

The terrorist group has been committing heinous crimes against all ethnic and religious groups, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Izadi Kurds and others in Iraq, Syria and several other countries.

Senior Reformist Criticizes Efforts to Dishearten Iranian People

“They want to dishearten the Iranian people and the reformists,” Aref said in an address to young reformist party members, as reported by Tabnak news agency.

“You should be serious in continuing to follow this path, because participation [in the elections] is our responsibility,” the Iranian reformist told them. He added that no one had anticipated a reformist victory in the 2013 presidential elections, but “the conditions are now much better” than they were then.

He highlighted the recent disqualification of a large number of reformists from running in the elections, noting that the party could not do anything about it.

“We feel responsible for the people, the Revolution, and the Establishment,” he declared, hinting that the party will still participate in the elections, despite the mass disqualification.

He went on to say that the reformists will show that they can achieve their goals by maintaining their hope and calm, and by remaining serious.

“Calmness is a prerequisite for this path. This is the (right) path, we have no other choice. We will define ourselves within the Establishment,” he noted.

Aref defined the reformist movement as a party that is encompassed within the Establishment of the Islamic Republic, saying that reformists consider “Peace and economic prosperity” to be their slogan. He continued, encouraging reformists to maintain their hope and calmness in the upcoming elections, which will be held on February 26.

There are currently 290 seats in the Iranian parliament, known as the Majlis, which are elected by direct popular vote in nationwide elections every four years.

The Assembly of Experts is another high-ranking body, one which elects and oversees the activities of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Members of the Assembly are directly elected to their office by the people for an eight-year term. It appoints a new chairman in biannual meetings.

Iran Newspaper front pages

The €6.5bn European investment in Iran’s mining industry was one of the top headlines in most Iranian papers on February 9, 2016. The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, had a meeting with Air Force pilots on Monday, and also outlined his stance regarding current developments, including the late February elections. Once again, the leader called on every Iranian citizen to come to the polls. He also spoke about the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, saying that the nation’s unity guarantees the mission of the revolution. All Iranian dailies focused on this on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani honoured the diplomats who spent more than two years of their career working on the nuclear talks which culminated in the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which resulted in the lifting of the crippling sanctions on the country. During a ceremony, Rouhani granted the diplomats, including Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif, a medal of honour for their endeavour and achievements regarding the nuclear issue.
