Top MP outlines parliamentary review of JCPOA

By

Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly Ali Larijani says that parliament took into account different aspects of the nuclear case when it reviewed the bill on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Larijani made the remark in a gathering on the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in Tehran on Sunday and added that he had no personal interest in the nuclear case and did what he did based on the responsibilities he had undertaken.

The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Sunday covered the speaker’s remarks which mainly focused on the passage in parliament of JCPOA and the critical comments on its approval. After his speech a woman approached the top MP and criticized what she called the ceremonial passage of JCPOA in the chamber. The following is the translation of part of his remarks in response to that woman’s criticism:

[Addressing the woman] I appreciate your critical comment. This amounts to promotion of virtue and prevention of vice. But why did you use the word “ceremonial”? In promoting virtue, a soft tone should be adopted.

Nuclear talks lasted almost three years. One year during the previous government’s tenure and two years in the current government’s; Iran pursued the talks and moved forward with eyes wide open. The Supreme National Security Council and other councils were involved in the [process of concluding the] Iran nuclear deal and provided parliament with explanations. Finally we reached the final stage and an agreement was concluded which came with certain frameworks.

Some said that JCPOA is to the detriment of the country and should be shelved. In case of rejection, what would have been the consequences? Others said that it is a good document and should be fully implemented, but there was a third view in between suggesting that the document should be controlled within the framework of certain conditions. The last view sounded more sensible.

We did not want to disapprove JCPOA, nor did we want to implement a US version of the deal. That’s why debates got more heated in the Supreme National Security Council with some wondering what should be done and others insisting that we should reject JCPOA. But we said that it could be implemented with some strings attached.

In the end, the Supreme Leader asked for the review of JCPOA in an open parliament session. We did not want to limit a parliamentary decision to a report released by one of its committees. To that end, we tried to pass a law so that parliament does not have to play an inactive role.

[…]

Parliament debated the JCPOA implementation bill after listening to the JCPOA Review Committee’s report. The chamber voted for the bill’s general outlines after a four-hour-long debate. That day some came and asked for the rejection of JCPOA and others came and said that the bill on JCPOA should be shelved in parliament. You may not believe your ears if I reveal the names of these people. They were saying that parliament does not need to decide on the bill, but we said that we need to make a law because the Supreme Leader has stressed that JCPOA should be reviewed in parliament. […]

In light of a threat that the Western side wants to implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in a different fashion, we passed the JCPOA implementation bill to prevent it from happening. According to one article of the bill, JCPOA should be brought to a halt if sanctions are not terminated or the other side fails to remove them on any grounds.

On Sunday, the second day of a state visit by Frank-Walter Steinmiere to Tehran, the German foreign minister met with Chairman of the Expediency Council Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

After the meeting, the German top diplomat visited different parts of the Expediency Council building and was impressed by the delicate Khatam (inlaid designs set into the walls of the building).

He also delivered a speech at the University of Tehran on the role of education in sustainable development. In the speech, he praised the steadfastness of Iranian students and called for more grants and scholarships to Iranian students, especially those majoring in architecture, and cultural and scientific programs.

At the close of the ceremony he was given a present by the university officials in praise of his appearance in the oldest modern university in Iran.

The following images of the German FM’s day in Tehran have been released by Fararu.com and ana.ir:

Historical cemetery of Armenians in Tehran

The historical cemetery of Armenians in Tehran was registered on the list of national monuments in 2000. Its largest section, a plot 47,000 square meters in area, is dedicated to Christians of Armenian origin. Catholic, Orthodox, Assyrian and Chaldean Christians have the largest share of the remainder of the cemetery space.

All but half of the Catholic section of the cemetery belongs to the Poles and the rest is the ultimate resting place of Christians of French, Italian, British, German origin and other foreign nationals.

The graveyard dates back to the Zand era when a number of Armenian stonecutters took up residence in Tehran.

Interesting images and specially-designed stones, including a pilot’s gravestone which looks like a propeller or terraced graves of a young girl and boy which lead underground catch every visitor’s eye.

The following are photos of the historical cemetery different websites have released:

Iran welcomes German investment in industry sector

Nematzadeh

The minister of industries, mines and trade has said that Tehran supports long-term investment by German firms in different industrial sectors in Iran.

Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh made the comment in a meeting with visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Sunday and added that to ride out the current trying times Iran needs to enter into partnership with German firms. The following is the translation of what else Nematzadeh said in the meeting:

Nematzadeh said that sanctions have downgraded trade and industrial ties between Iran and Germany, adding that after the termination of sanctions the stage will be set for Iran and Germany to have joint investment in the industry sector.

He further said that the German government largely helped solve questions surrounding the nuclear case, adding that Tehran hopes the results of the nuclear deal Iran and P5+1 inked can create better opportunities for the two sides.

Germany is one of Iran’s largest trade partners in Europe, he said, adding that German firms used to meet 50 percent of Iran’s industrial needs because Iranian companies attached great significance to the quality of industrial products, even if they carried a heavier price tag.

The Iranian minister went on to say that Iran is holding talks with a number of [foreign] companies so that it can start to carry out joint investment projects in the long run once the sanctions are lifted.

It is of great significance for Tehran and Berlin to have a joint market, Nematzadeh said, arguing that it can help educated Iranian youth exploit the experience of German firms and boost the synergy between Iran and Germany.

“Iran attaches great importance to development of trade and industrial ties with German companies. Iran’s trade and industrial ties have been reduced over the past few years, but I think we can make up for it [what we lost] in the new era,” said the minister.

Nematzadeh said that he had productive talks with his Afghan counterpart and added that Iran, Afghanistan and Germany can make profitable investment in different mining and industrial sectors.

Termination of sanctions has opened up big opportunities to work with different nations on technical and industrial fronts, he said, adding that Iran is interested in developing cooperation with small-, medium- and large-sized German firms in different areas.

Iran has entered into talks with German companies on economic issues, home appliances and medical devices, Nematzadeh said, hoping that talks with Volkswagen Group (VW) will bear fruit soon and the two sides can start to work together.

“Sanctions threw a big obstacle in the way of the two countries’ banking cooperation. Unjust sanctions prevented Iran from using the money it had in the German banks,” Nematzadeh said and added that he is sure all problems will soon become history after the Iran trip of the German foreign minister.

Iran’s defense measures are independent of nuclear talks: Velayati

Aliakbar Velayati

Recent allegations by the Americans that Iran has violated the UN Security Council resolution by test-firing a ballistic missile are nothing new, Head of the Strategic Research Center of the Expediency Council Ali Akbar Velayati told reporters Saturday.

The following is the translation of what else Fars News Agency quoted him as saying on October 17:

Velayati, who also serves as an advisor to the Supreme Leader for international affairs, said, “Based on the country’s needs, the Islamic Republic chooses the type of weapons and missiles it wants to defend itself.”
Recalling the fact that some regional countries are supplied with different weapons by the US, he said, “At a time when the region is gripped by chaos, Iran won’t ignore defense issues, whether they like it or not.”

 

He concluded, “We have not bowed to military restrictions in nuclear talks,” adding that Iran’s defense measures have nothing to do with nuclear talks.
