Steinmeier’s visit is aimed at preparing the ground for talks between Tehran and Riyadh.

Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia was created when the Saudi rulers executed a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on January 2.

Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia was created when the Saudi rulers executed a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on January 2.

Iran’s Police arrested a number of protestors.

A day after on January 3, Saudi foreign minister announced that Riyadh severed its diplomatic relations with Tehran.

Under the pretext of its embassy issue, Riyadh has formed a so-called anti-Iran coalition and is trying to add members to that coalition by taking unwise measures.

Holding telephone conversations with his Iranian and Saudi counterparts, Steinmeier has stressed importance of avoiding further tensions between Tehran and Riyadh.

He has also called for making any kind of effort not to damage the achievements gained in Syria peace talks in recent months.

At present, the most important issue that Germany is concerned about is to successfully finalize the peace talks on Syria in Vienna to prevent the flow of Syrian refugees into that country.

 

Iran: All sanctions to be annulled today

“Today, with the submission of the report by the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the JCPOA will in fact become implemented, and after that, a joint statement… will be read out to announce the implementation,” Zarif told reporters on arrival in Vienna.

“We think that the implementation of the JCPOA is not only a very good opportunity for the Iranian people by which all the oppressive Security Council sanctions, all the resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors will end and officially be annulled, but all the oppressive sanctions that have been imposed over the nuclear issue against the Islamic Republic will God willing be annulled today… and this is a very good day for the Iranian people,” Zarif said.

“But, besides, we believe that this is a very good day for the region; our region will be relieved of the shadow of an unnecessary conflict that could have caused worry for this region,” he said.

“This is also a good day for the world,” the Iranian foreign minister said, adding, “Today is a day when we prove to the world that threats, sanctions, intimidation, pressure don’t work; respect works.”

“Through respect, through dialog, through negotiations, we can in fact reach mutually-acceptable solutions, implement mutually-acceptable solutions, prove that the nay-sayers were always wrong, and therefore move towards a world in which diplomacy – not force, not pressure – will prevail,” Zarif said.

World’s largest portrait painting workshop

Portrait Painting workshop dubbed “Flight 464” was held here on Imam Hossein Square in Tehran, on Friday, to eternal the faces of those killed during Mina tragedy and crane crash in Hajj 2015.

The crush occurred after two large masses of pilgrims converged at a crossroads in Mina during the symbolic ceremony of the stoning of Satan in Jamarat on September 24.

Saudi Arabia claims nearly 770 people were killed in the incident, but Iranian officials say about 4,700 people lost their lives in the tragedy.

The number of the Iranian fatalities is at least 464, exceeding that of other countries.

Saudi Arabia has come under harsh criticism over its role and handling of the Mina incident.

The tragedy came days after a massive construction crane collapsed into Mecca’s Grand Mosque, killing more than 100 people and leaving over 200 others wounded. According to the figures released by Iran’s Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization, 11 Iranian pilgrims were among the deceased and 32 of the injured were also Iranian nationals.

 

Saudi playing victim over Iran tensions: Leader aide

By
Emad Askarieh

“In my opinion, this (the recent tension) was the result of the wrong policies of Saudis who didn’t know their limits and that’s why they made efforts to isolate Iran by playing victim,” Ali-Akbar Velayati said in an interview with ISNA on Friday.

He, however, added that Iran enjoys a strategic position in the region and gives priority to the establishment of close relations with other countries, particularly neighbors, on its foreign policy agenda.

Velayati stressed the importance of interaction with neighboring states, saying Iran accepts cooperation with countries based on equal footing and mutual respect.

He noted that the continuation of Iran’s relations with other countries depends on their will and said, “It is impossible in the arena of foreign policy to make a decision without taking the opposite side’s demands into consideration.”

The Leader’s aide emphasized that powerful countries currently seek to interact with Iran based on mutual respect due to the Islamic Republic’s might in regional and international scenes.

Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with Iran on January 3 following demonstrations held in front of the Saudi embassy in Tehran and its consulate in the northeastern city of Mashhad by angry protesters censuring the Al Saud family for the killing of top cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.

Some people mounted the walls of the consulate in Mashhad while incendiary devices were hurled at the embassy in Tehran.

 

Thailand plans to raise trade with Iran to $5bn

“The value of trade and [mutual] investment between Iran and Thailand can increase to $1.2 billion two years into the lifting of the sanctions,” Thai Deputy Minister of Commerce Suvit Maesincee said.

“Within four or five years after the removal of the sanctions, the transactions between the two countries can reach $3 billion or even $5 billion,” he added.

Maesincee said Iran-Thailand trade was reduced last year by $600 million due to oil price fall and global recession.

He said Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai is expected to travel to Tehran in coming days.

Maesincee said Iran is located in a “strategic position” providing access to Eurasian countries of 700 million people.

Iran currently enjoys a meager $99 million share in Thailand’s $200 billion market.

 

Sanctions relief

The European Union is ready to lift economic sanctions against Iran as soon as the UN nuclear agency verifies Tehran’s compliance with its obligations under a nuclear agreement it reached with six world powers last July.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected to issue its final report on Saturday confirming that Iran has lived up to its obligations under the nuclear agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The IAEA is expected to confirm that Iran had fulfilled its obligations so that the 28-nation EU, alongside the United States and the United Nations, can end their sanctions on what is known as “Implementation Day” for the JCPOA.

Iran and the P5+1 – the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany finalized the text of the JCPOA in the Austrian capital of Vienna in July 2015.

Under the JCPOA, limits are put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.

Obama lifts ban on aircraft sale to Iran

President Obama delegated that authority to Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday through a presidential memorandum, a directive similar to an executive order.

The historic decision comes against the backdrop of planned implementation of Iran’s historic nuclear deal with world powers at the weekend.

“They have nearly completed their major nuclear steps, and that’s nothing to gloss over,” US Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said.

He added that the decision would take effect as soon as the nuclear agreement is implemented and international sanctions are lifted on Iran.

“The [nuclear] agreement makes two exceptions: Iran can buy U.S. civilian passenger aircraft, and sell certain crafts – specifically carpets and rugs – to the United States,” USA Today reported.

US sanctions ban the sale of aircraft and parts to Iran. Under an interim nuclear deal in 2013, the West eased the ban on sales of spare parts but selling planes is still prohibited.

Western sanctions are the biggest enemy of Iran’s aviation which has been plagued by a series of air crashes, claiming the lives of hundreds of Iranians.

The nuclear accord reached with Tehran last July has provided Iran with a chance to renew its fleet of commercial aircraft.

Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhundi has said that Iran would need to buy 500 commercial aircraft of various models at a cost of $50 billion.

Iran’s civil aviation fleet consists of 248 aircraft with an average age of 20 years, 100 of which are grounded, he has said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected to issue its final report on Saturday confirming that Iran has lived up to its obligations under the nuclear agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The IAEA is expected to confirm that Iran had fulfilled its obligations so that the 28-nation EU, alongside the United States and the United Nations, can end their sanctions on what is known as “Implementation Day” for the JCPOA.

In a strange and rather amazing event, two wives of a 70 years old Saudi man, in an effort to show their gratitude and love to their beloved husband, found him a new bride, Al-Alam Reported.

The somehow lucky man, named by Al-Alam as Awaz Bin Awim Al-Dhuaibi, was surprised when heard that his two spouses without his knowledge have found their own favorite candidate to become the third wife of their husband and have arranged in excellent manner, all the wedding ceremonies.

The co-wives, who must apparently be extremely resolved in doing a favor to their husband, removed all possible hurdles from the path of their husband’s new marriage, so that he can enjoy having a new bride.

Al_Dhuaibi was quoted by Saudi social media as saying at first I could not believe it and took it as a joke but later I realized that it was quite true and serious and they were adamants to make me happy.

The 70 years old bride-groom is enjoying his third honeymoon with his newly wedded bride.

Saudi Daily Okaz has praised the co-wives of the fortunate bride-groom for not being jealous and sharing their aged husband, with a new comer.
