Iran president says PMD closure ‘big success’

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the UN nuclear monitoring body’s resolution closing the book on the so-called possible military dimensions (PMD) of the country’s nuclear program constituted a big victory for the Iranian nation .

Addressing the Iranian nation live on state television on Wednesday, Rouhani said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) vindicated the Islamic Republic after nearly 14 years of investigation.

“After nearly 14 years, it became clear that this [Islamic] establishment has been speaking honestly with its own people and the world. It has never lied. It does not lie, [and] it remains committed to its promise,” he said.

Rouhani reiterated that the Islamic Republic will continue to respect its obligations under its agreement with six world powers.

The Iranian president was speaking one day after the IAEA’s Board of Governors overwhelmingly voted in favor of a draft resolution which brings down the curtain on its investigation into the past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

The draft resolution on Iran’s past nuclear activities had been submitted by P5+1 on December 7.

Rouhani said the “resolution of the PMD issue” removed one of the “important obstacles to the implementation” of Iran’s nuclear deal with the world powers, known under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“The ground is now prepared for the implementation of JCPOA,” he said.

Rouhani said international sanctions imposed against the Islamic Republic will have been removed early next year.

“We hope that the other side would take one or two remaining steps in the coming weeks. We also can take positive steps in the coming one to two weeks,” he said.

Iran and P5+1 – the United States, Britain, France, China, and Russia plus Germany – concluded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in Vienna on July 14.

Under 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.

Turkey should be the Turkey it used to be: Iran MP

If Turkey wants to avoid serious harms down the line, it needs to be just that: Turkey, Abbasali Mansouri Arani, a member of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said in an interview with the Islamic Consultative Assembly News Agency (ICANA).

The following is the translation of what else the MP said in an interview ICANA published on December 15:

As a result of self-inflicted blows, Turkey, which was a progressive country on the economic and political fronts until a few years ago, has now turned into a country at odds with what upholds security in the Middle East, the MP said.

He added when Turkey’s economic revenues swelled, Ankara mistakenly decided to blend Ottoman strategies and Ataturk principles to expand the sphere of its influence. “The wrong approach [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan adopted introduced a chain of political, social and security blunders.”

Warning of the consequences of measures Turkey is adopting, the MP said that opting for aggressiveness to expand the realm of influence will not only not produce the intended result, but will raise the incurred costs because it gives rise to tensions.

Arani further said with the passage of time any country that walks into the trap of the vicious circle of strategic blunders will pay incremental costs and see its interests take a blow. “By getting involved in the Syrian conflict, Turkey committed a strategic mistake. Its support for the Syrian opposition paved the way for multinational terrorists to set foot on its soil. Besides, Turkey has had to pay for the financial and security costs of a stream of refugees crossing its border.”

The Iranian MP went on to say that on top of those hefty costs, there are ominous signs that an economic crisis is around the corner for Turkey. “It is true that Turkey has got its hand on cheap oil, but its manufacturers have lost the markets of neighboring countries.”

Over the past few years, the Turkish government coffers have swelled, but its lack of heavy industries and overreliance on tourism revenues will see its income drop dramatically when tensions run high. In fact, the past few months have seen a steep decline in its tourism-related income, the MP said.

The former president of the War University said that economic crises in different countries can spark social crises. What makes the threat Ankara is facing graver is that thanks to the presence of Kurdish, Alawite, Kemalist and leftist groups, Turkey’s society is politically and socially wobbly.

The Iranian deputy further said that unfortunately President Erdogan insists on the wrong strategies that date back to the Ottoman Empire. “Deployment of troops to Iraq and provoking the Iraqi Kurdistan Region are the latest examples of mistakes Ankara has made. Unfortunately, Ankara is so badly mired in its problems that it has ratcheted up tensions with Iran too.”

Recalling the comments of President Erdogan that normalization of ties with Israel would serve the interests of the entire region, he said this dramatic change of heart in dealing with the most despised regime in the world, is a painful sign of the decline in morality among Turkish rulers. Turkey should be what it used to be: Turkey, and should redress its wrong policies.

He said that the recent downing by Turkey of a Russian warplane in Syrian airspace was another glaring mistake. Having its economy revived, Russia built on its energy hegemony in Europe and on its infrastructural and industrial might to become as powerful as the Soviet Union.

He said that Russia has boosted its naval power to the levels of its military might on the ground. That was why it has sent a naval fleet to the Mediterranean. The grave mistake of Turkey is that it thinks NATO would rush to its assistance against Russia in case something happens.

US Visa Waiver Program will push foreign investment in Iran down to zero

December 16, 2015

An Iranian economist says that changes to the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP) will violate the provisions of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and will eventually lead foreign investment toward a no-growth future.

Lotfali Bakhshi, a professor of economics at Allameh Tabatabai University in Tehran, made the remark in an interview and added that if the US Visa Waiver Bill passes the US Congress, which is highly likely, it would view travel to Iran by any Americans as a blight on their record.

Nasimonline.ir on December 14 published the interview and the following is the translation of the remarks of the economist:

Compared with the sanctions imposed on Iran, the new US decision – if it clears the US Congress, which is very much likely – will take a more devastating toll on foreign investment, the tourism industry and trade in the country.

The new Visa Waiver Bill, which infringes on JCPOA, amounts to deep hostility the US government has shown to the Iranian nation. Under JCPOA, the Americans have committed themselves to dropping hostile acts against the Iranian nation, but the congressional decision on visa waiver will violate the US commitments in dealing with Iran.

The Europeans seem to have objected to the US move, and the Iranian officials are expected to inform the American side that Tehran views Washington’s new decision as a hostile act against the Iranian people and violation of JCPOA.

The new US bill will target foreign investment in Iran. This reveals the hostility America bears toward the Iranian people and government, because the decision will virtually cut the foreign investment Iran absorbs and will make it very hard for tourists to travel to Iran.

The visa waiver legislation will also undermine Iran’s normal trade with other nations. It bans foreign investors and businessmen who make a trip to Iran from easily traveling to the United States and elsewhere in the world.

The Europeans and Americans as well as the South Koreans and the Japanese are the main foreign investors in Iran, with countries such as China, the UAE and Turkey which are known as Iran’s trading partners claiming no share of Iran’s foreign investment.

The new visa law in the US will target 80-90 percent of foreign investment in Iran. Countries such as Turkey or the UAE which benefit the most from Iran’s economy have yet to make remarkable investments in Iran. The Chinese have tried to make investment in Iran, but Iran’s economy has yet to reap revenues from what they have done.

During the years Iran was reeling under the weight of sanctions, a number of countries, including Turkey, the UAE and China, could make investment in Iran, but they didn’t. And the new visa legislation will provide them with a new pretext not to put their money into [different sectors in] Iran.

A congressional resolution on the US Visa Waiver Program – resolution, H.R. 158 – has already passed the House of Representatives and has been sent to the Senate for its consideration, along with a similar Senate resolution.
According to the bill, which was passed by 407 to 19 on Tuesday, visitors from the 38 “visa waiver” countries will need to obtain a visa to travel to the US if they have been to Syria, Iraq, Iran or Sudan in the past five years.

Presence of foreign banks spurs competitiveness: MP

Nothing stands in the way of foreign bank presence in Iran because such presence will give a boost to competitiveness of the banking system, Mousa al-Reza Servati, a member of parliament’s Planning and Budget Committee, told the Islamic Consultative Assembly News Agency (ICANA).

He further said that under the laws the chamber has voted for foreign banks that meet the requirements face no restrictions in setting up branches here in Iran. “Of course, the laws determine the stake of foreigners in such banks. Their Iranian partners should claim a bigger share.”

The following is the translation of what else Servati told ICANA:

He said that such presence would infuse liquidity into the national economy which could help production flourish, if managed properly.

The MP, who represents Bojnourd in the chamber, further said to ease concerns about the presence of foreign banks in the country, a team of experts can make all the necessary assessments and remove the legal problems, if any.

He said the presence of foreign banks can also inject competitiveness to efforts to adjust interest rates.

Servati also hailed the Central Bank of Iran’s decision to streamline the currency exchanges and said that measures to clamp down on unauthorized dealers in foreign currencies should continue in cooperation with Law Enforcement.

An ancient grave of a 40-year old wealthy woman, containing 112 artifacts, has been discovered in the Burnt City (Shahr-e Soukhteh) site in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.

With the discovery of the grave, which dates back to 4,600 years, the archeologists have managed to register a new record in the history of their excavations.

Mansour Seyyed Sajjadi, head of the Burnt City’s Excavation Team, said three types of graves have so far been found in the Burnt City including simple ditches, ditches with two sections and burial crypts.

He added it is the second time that a grave, with 112 ancient items, has been discovered at the Burnt City site.

“A grave of 32- year-old man and his 10-year-old child, containing 112 relics, was discovered in the Burnt City in 1998,” he said.

He said archeologists have discovered only two burial crypts during the 15th excavation season in the ancient city.

Seyyed Sajjadi noted that archeologists and genetic specialists have conducted extensive studies on the ancient graves, the skeletons and the relics found in them.

“Genetic specialists, speculated that the skeleton unearthed from one grave belonged to a woman whose height was 155cm ,” he said, adding a number of containers resembling collyrium box, colorful jars and pieces of textile materials have been found near the skeleton.

Seyyed Sajjadi said salt and minerals available in the soil of Burnt City made the textile durable for such a long time.

Prior to the excavations by Iranian archeologists at the Burnt City site, an Italian team had come across 220 graves in the location.

December 16, 2015

Iran’s nuclear chief says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s recent decision to drop the so-called possible military dimensions (PMD) in relation with the country’s nuclear case proved that the entire case was fabricated.

The whole nuclear case of Iran was “manufactured” in order to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, said head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). Ali-Akbar Salehi made the remarks during a televised interview on Tuesdaynight following the closure of the PMD case.

During its meeting in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Tuesday, the IAEA’s Board of Governors overwhelmingly voted in favor of a draft resolution which brings down the curtain on a 12-year investigation into the past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

In a separate development, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araghchi said that the closure of the PMD case on will open a new chapter in Tehran’s ties with the UN nuclear agency.

Araghchi said the ratification of the resolution is a major step toward the implementation of JCPOA, adding that following the closure of the PMD case, Iran will now start fulfilling its commitments regarding two major issues, namely the redesigning of the Arak heavy water reactor and the shipment of Iran’s enriched uranium stock out of the country.

He also noted that Iran will continue to fulfill its other obligations as stipulated in JCPOA, adding that the closure of the PMD case bears testimony to the peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program.

Valuable legislation, meritorious enforcers

An Iranian Shiite cleric says that members of parliament should focus on “Continuous Ijtihad” as they try [to make laws] to improve people’s lives.

Ayatollah Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad, a university and seminary school instructor, made the remark in a fourth conference on the Role of Research in Lawmaking and added that under Article Two of the Constitution, Continuous Ijtihad [an Islamic legal term that means “independent reasoning”] is one of the cornerstones of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but that the Constitution falls short of explaining how this article should be legally binding.

[Article 2: The Islamic Republic is a system based on belief in: (…) continuous Ijtihad of the fuqaha possessing necessary qualifications, exercised on the basis of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Ma’sumun, upon all of whom be peace;]

Entekhab.ir on December 16 published Ayatollah Mohaghegh Damad’s remarks in the conference and the following is the translation of what he said:

A nation’s prosperity rests with its valuable legislation and meritorious enforcers. Educated and meritorious managers will achieve no success in the absence of valuable laws, and valuable laws will do little to help the nation achieve prosperity even if its managers are meritorious.

Continuous Ijtihad is the legislative underpinnings of the country. The responsibility the MPs should undertake is heavier. We lacked a Legislative Branch 100 years ago and our legislation used to be made based on modern laws, with the judges making judgment based on Ijtihad. Back then Ijtihad was a requirement a judge had to meet before they were appointed to the bench.

If laws are written to run [the affairs in] the country, the responsibility [to write the laws] should be based on Continuous Ijtihad.

The Iranian nation calls on members of parliament not to compare their needs with what people needed 30 years ago. The interests of an entire nation are in your [MPs] hands. The MPs should think things over, take into account the country’s national interests, and make brave decisions. The MPs are expected to take into consideration Continuous Ijtihad when they strive to improve people’s lives.

Our country is protected by a holy legislative institution. [Addressing the director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran] Mr. Salehi! I wish you could do something to launch scientific management in the country in addition to the scientific progress the country has achieved. Whose negligence is to blame in this regard? Does it mean that [the Islamic Consultative] Assembly has not practiced Continuous Ijtihad?

The bills and motions [parliament debates on the floor] should be supported by Continuous Ijtihad. Iran has made scientific progress in some areas which are acceptable and a source of pride, but the question that arises here is: Why hasn’t the medical science achieved progress in ethics?

[Recalling the suture removal scandal in Khomeinishahr in Isfahan Province] It is disgraceful and tear-jerking that in a hospital in an Iranian town parents lack money to pay for the stitches their child needs [on his chin] and the medical team takes out the stitches of the child. I pray to God that such a story is not true; otherwise, we need to do something for such decline in morality. We need to shed tears for such an ethical decline.
