Shafaq News/ Oil expert Hamza Al-Jawahiri confirmed today, Tuesday, that oil prices will not collapse with the Iranian-US nuclear agreement.

Al-Jawahiri said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "If the nuclear agreement between Iran and America is concluded, oil prices will not collapse," noting that "these prices may be affected, but for a short period, and there will be a slight drop in prices, but they will rise again after a short period."

He added, "Iran did not stop its oil exports during the sanctions imposed on it, as it is currently selling the oil produced from it to China, India and other countries in several ways, and the market needs more oil, especially with the return of the global economy to openness after Corona."

Oil prices fell on Tuesday, ahead of the resumption of indirect talks between the United States and Iran that could revive the nuclear deal that could lead to the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iranian oil sales and an increase in global supplies.

Talks on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which are taking place in Vienna, are due to resume on Tuesday after a 10-day hiatus.

The United States has restored some exemptions from sanctions, while Iran is demanding a complete lifting of sanctions and an American guarantee that no more punitive measures will be taken.

International oil prices rose to great levels, reaching more than $90 per barrel, in light of the high demand for it and the lack of supply, at a time when OPEC still did not reach its production goals and the United States did not increase production much.

Shafaq News/ Oil prices fell on Tuesday before the resumption of indirect talks between the United States and Iran that may revive the nuclear agreement that may lead to the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iranian oil sales and an increase in global supplies.

Brent crude fell in the latest trading 30 cents, or 0.32 percent, to 92.39 dollars a barrel by 04:42 GMT, after hitting a seven-year high of 94 dollars on Monday, and US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 22 cents at 91.10 dollars a barrel.

Both oil contracts touched their highest prices in seven years recently, buoyed by strong global demand, ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe and the possibility of supply disruptions due to cold weather conditions in the United States.

Talks on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which are taking place in Vienna, will resume on Tuesday after a 10-day hiatus. The United States has restored some sanctions waivers, while Iran is demanding a complete lifting of sanctions and a US guarantee that no further punitive measures will be taken.

However, the decline in oil prices may be temporary, according to analysts, noting that the oil market is still suffering from a supply deficit, driven entirely by the supply side and geopolitical risks.

Saudi Aramco said on Saturday it raised the prices of all grades of crude it sells to Asia in March compared to February, in line with market expectations, reflecting strong demand in Asia and stronger margins for gasoil and jet fuel.

And the agency "CNN" quoted three US officials as confirming that "if the agreement is not saved at the end of February through negotiations in Vienna, Washington will have to change its course."

And she added, "A senior official in the administration of US President Joe Biden confirmed that this round, which resumed on Tuesday, is decisive," while a second official considered "nothing with Iran is going in a straight line at all, but Washington has reached a decisive moment."

Shafaq News/ Estimates of companies tracking the movement of oil shipments showed that Iranian oil exports rose to more than one million barrels per day for the first time in nearly three years, following the increase in shipments to China.

Iran's oil exports have shrunk since former US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018 from the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions aimed at curbing oil exports and related revenues that go to Iranian government coffers.

Iran has kept some exports flowing despite the sanctions by hiding the origin of imports by middlemen. And tanker tracking companies say China was the destination for most of those shipments.

The administration of President Joe Biden discussed the issue of Iranian imports with China, but did not impose sanctions on Chinese personalities or companies. Beijing has urged the United States to lift sanctions on Iran, which China is vocal about its opposition to.

Indirect talks between Iran and the United States resumed on Tuesday to revive the nuclear deal. If the talks succeed, Iran can resume oil sales in the open market.

According to estimates of consultants and analysts in the oil industry, Iran managed to increase exports in 2021 despite the sanctions. But those exports are still well below the 2.5 million barrels that were shipped daily before the reimposition of sanctions

Petro-Logistics, a company that tracks oil shipments, said Iranian crude exports rose in December to more than 1 million barrels per day, their highest level in nearly three years, although they fell to about 700,000 barrels per day in January.

"We do not expect to see a steady export of 1 million barrels per day until there is a change in the political arena," said Daniel Gerber, the company's chief executive.

A senior trade source said January shipments were down about 300,000 bpd compared to December, adding that shipments volumes were fluctuating due to a shortage of ships.

The increase in Iranian exports came as global supply shortages helped push oil prices to a seven-year high of $94 a barrel. Lifting US sanctions would theoretically allow Iran to start returning crude exports at around 2.5 million barrels per day, a rate not seen since 2018.

Iran's oil and foreign ministries did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on oil export levels.

In response to a question about China's imports of Iranian oil, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman's office said, "The international community, including China, is cooperating normally with Iran under the international legal framework, which is logical and legitimate."

France warns Iran about nuclear deal: You don't have much time
 

  

Baghdad - people  

France warned that Iran had only a few days left to reach an agreement in Vienna on its nuclear program, while Tehran's chief negotiator vowed that a deal was closer than ever.  

  

 

  

  

"It is not a matter of weeks, but of days," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told the French Senate, adding that the world would face a severe nuclear proliferation "crisis" if no agreement was reached.  

Le Drian added that "the more we progress, the more Iran accelerates its nuclear actions, and the less interest the parties have in joining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (2015 agreement). From here, we have reached today the turning point."  

For his part, the chief Iranian negotiator confirmed, on Wednesday via Twitter, that the countries negotiating in Vienna on the Iranian nuclear program are close to reaching an agreement.  

Ali Bagheri said, "After weeks of intense negotiations, we are closer to reaching an agreement than ever before, but unless everything is agreed upon, nothing will be agreed upon," considering that it is now up to the "negotiating partners" to take. serious decisions.  

Earlier, Iran announced that it wanted a "political declaration" from the US Congress in which the United States pledged to return to the nuclear agreement and implement it.  

"Public opinion in Iran cannot accept the statement of a head of state as a guarantee, especially from the president of the United States, which withdrew from the nuclear agreement," Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper, Wednesday, and published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 2018 year.  

The Iranian foreign minister revealed that he asked the Iranian negotiators to suggest to the Western parties "that their parliaments or at least their presidents, including the US Congress, declare their commitment to the agreement and return to its implementation, in the form of a political declaration."  

The ongoing talks in Vienna aim to reach an agreement that restores both Washington and Tehran to abide by the effects of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the agreement concluded by the major powers with Tehran in Vienna in 2015 to guarantee the peacefulness of the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions on Tehran.  

The former US President, Donald Trump, withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed tough sanctions on Iran that harmed its economy. In response, Iran ramped up its nuclear activities, violating the terms of the 2015 agreement.  

"We now need political decisions by the Iranians," Le Drian said.  

"They have a very clear choice: either they cause a severe crisis in the coming days, which we can dispense with, or they accept the agreement that respects the interests of all parties, especially the interests of Iran," he added.  

But the French minister stressed at the same time that reaching an agreement was "at hand."  

Le Drian stressed that the rest of the signatories to the agreement (Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia, as well as the United States, which withdrew from it in 2018) reached an "understanding" regarding the agreement to be concluded in Vienna, and all that remains now is Iran's approval of it.  

But he noted that time is running out because Iran continues to intensify its nuclear activities, saying, "The longer this continues, the more Iran will accelerate its nuclear actions."

Shafaq News/ Oil prices fell today, Thursday, after France and Iran announced that the parties were close to reaching an agreement on the Iranian nuclear deal with world powers, which eased the price hike as a result of tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

 

Brent crude was trading at $93.72 at 05:03, down $1.04 GMT, after the contract closed up 1.6 percent in the previous day's trading.

 

US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was trading at $92.53 a barrel, down $1.13 after rising 1.7% the previous day.

 

France said on Wednesday that the decision on saving Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers was only days away and that it was now up to Tehran to make the political decision, while Tehran called on Western powers to be "realistic".

 

With the new deal approaching, South Korea, once one of Tehran's main oil clients in Asia, said on Wednesday it had held working-level talks on resuming imports of Iranian crude and unfreezing Iranian funds.

 

On the other hand, Russia's threatening stance towards Ukraine has dominated the oil markets in recent weeks, with fears that supply disruptions from the main product in a tight global market could push oil prices to $100 a barrel.

 

Russia's announcement of a partial withdrawal of its forces from areas near Ukraine earlier this week was met with warnings from Western governments that Russia was strengthening its military presence near the Ukrainian border, which has led to continued tension.

Iran responds to Reuters' report on nuclear talks
 

  

Baghdad - people   

An adviser to the Iranian delegation in Vienna, which is hosting the nuclear talks, said Thursday that the Reuters news agency report "does not have credibility."  

  

 

  

Envoys from Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany, the European Union and the United States are still negotiating the details of the nuclear agreement, amid Western warnings that time is running out before the original agreement becomes a thing of the past.  

  

Reuters revealed today, in an "exclusive" report, that a large part of the draft text has been settled, but some thorny issues still exist.  

  

According to the agency, the draft agreement, which is more than 20 pages long, provides for a set of steps that must be implemented once approved, starting with a phase that includes Iran's suspension of enrichment above 5 percent.  

  

The text also includes references to other measures including the unfreezing of about $7 billion of Iranian funds frozen in South Korean banks under US sanctions, in addition to the release of Western prisoners held in Iran, a measure that the chief US negotiator Robert Malley refers to as a condition for concluding an agreement.

Whatever Tehran says about its victory in the Vienna negotiations, there are other facts that confirm the opposite. The regime was dancing with joy in the summer of 2015, and the Iranian Foreign Minister at the time, Javad Zarif, had a famous picture, looking out from the "balcony", holding a copy of the document in his hand, rejoicing in it.

Many things have happened since then, most notably the massive and unprecedented financial losses. The regime has taken more than $120 billion, in frozen funds and interest, in Swiss and American banks since the days of the Shah. The leader of the Iranian military project abroad, Qassem Soleimani, lost it to the fighting in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, bringing in tens of thousands of Afghan, Iraqi, Lebanese and other mercenaries. After running out of billions of dollars, Soleimani was forced to blackmail the Iraqis to finance his operations in Syria and elsewhere.

And Iran's losses did not end here. Donald Trump spoiled the party immediately after he took office, imposing tougher sanctions even than before the deal. In five years, the regime was deprived of another two hundred billion dollars, assuming that Tehran could raise its oil production and exports, but it fell to a quarter and had to sell it at discounted prices via expensive transportation routes.

Iranian negotiators failed to obtain compensation for that period as a condition for returning to the comprehensive agreement. On the other hand, international attempts to compel Iran to expand the framework of the agreement and oblige it to stop its regional military and sabotage activities have failed, which was not originally part of the old agreement, but rather the desire of the countries of the region.

We conclude that Iran's talk of its victory is a long series of propaganda. Propaganda is an important weapon that the regime relied on until it remained in the minds of many in the region as facts, and in fact they are just fake images. He portrayed the regime to his disciples as the people's system, a just project, a democratic state, an Islamic leader, and the fortress against American arrogance, and the liberator of Jerusalem and Palestine.

The years were enough to test these allegations, and it can be said that Iran has lost many categories of its regional audience. It was supported by the Arab left, nationalist, Nasserist and socialist, as well as Islamists. Today, most of them see Iran only as an extremist sectarian state with regional ambitions. It also lost its image in front of a large audience of ordinary Arabs who believed that it was a regime committed to defending just causes such as the Palestinian cause. The first shock was its clear support for Iraq's sectarian militias in the massacres they committed, then it became clear that they, too, were a partner in planning and assassinating Lebanese leaders, including Rafik Hariri. The biggest shock that exposed Iran's image to millions of Arabs and turned into hatred was its role in Syria, and its involvement in killing more than half a million people in that ugly war.

Its losses did not depend only on its distant masses, but rather the expansion of the rebellion within the Shiite community against it, after it thought that its loyalty to it was guaranteed. The voices of the symbols of the Shiite intellectuals in Lebanon, Iraq and the Gulf rose against it and its agents on the ground. In Iraq, there is a street war, Shiite forces against the Iraqi groups of Iran. Likewise in Lebanon, the families of thousands of young men who were killed in Iran’s wars in Syria and Yemen are discovering that Hezbollah and Iran are trading in the lives of their children, and it has become known that the regime has become hated among its people in Iran itself.

Therefore, despite the financial hardship, the Iranian regime did not stop funding Hezbollah, delivering aid, compensation, and financial blood money to the Lebanese from the sect, and worked to provide discounted goods to them and its allies, and to buy receivables in a number of countries. Tehran has lost much of its luster and capabilities, and even when the sanctions from the West are ended, life will not be easy for it, and it will be shocked by the forces revolting against it from the majority of the people of Iran and the peoples of the region that hate it.

Shafaq News/ Despite the current diplomatic efforts to revive the nuclear agreement between Iran and America, the differences between the two parties are still faltering somewhat, as the German Chancellor warned last Saturday that the opportunity is now ripe, or that efforts to save the agreement will never succeed.

 

Negotiations in Vienna to revive a 2015 agreement that lifted sanctions in exchange for curbs on Iran's nuclear activities are in their 10th month, with diplomats suggesting the talks should end by the end of February.

 

Traders and oil producers are watching these talks closely, as the agreement could lead to the return of supplies of millions of barrels of Iranian oil to the global market, which was the second largest producer and exporter of oil in OPEC before the sanctions.

 

 

annexation of Iran

 

The “OPEC +” alliance, since April 2021, has restricted its production to control oil prices after these prices witnessed a significant decline during the year 2020 after the spread of Corona, and OPEC + is considering including Iran in this agreement to limit oil supplies, in the event that a settlement is reached to revive its agreement nuclear power with world powers, in an attempt to avoid competition for market share that could hurt prices.

 

The International Energy Agency says that the success of the talks could lead to the lifting of US sanctions on Iran's exports, which would return 1.3 million barrels per day of Iranian oil to the market. Just under $100 a barrel.

 

Note that Iran is excluded from the current agreement between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC" and its allies, in what is known as the "OPEC +" alliance to limit oil supplies, due to the impact of sanctions on its exports.

 

Some analysts believe that Iran will not agree to restrict its oil production again after the sanctions imposed on it by the West, which will lead to confusion and failure of the plan set by OPEC + and will therefore lead to flooding the market with Iranian oil, and there will be a large supply and a decline in oil prices.

 

Events in Iran

 

Iran is preparing to return to exporting its oil again by reviving its agreements with countries that were the main importers of its oil, such as China and South Korea.

 

Despite the sanctions imposed on Iranian oil, for the first time since the end of 2020, China announced the volume of its import of Iranian oil, saying that it reached 1.9 million barrels last December.

 

Unofficially, China's imports of Iranian oil exceeded 500,000 barrels per day on average between last August and October, as buyers considered that the advantage of obtaining crude at cheap prices outweighed the risks of violating US sanctions.

 

Traders say Iranian crude is being exported to China as oil from Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia to evade sanctions, reducing supplies from Brazil and West Africa.

 

Officials from the National Iranian Oil Corporation also met with at least two South Korean refinery officials to discuss a possible return of supplies from the oil-producing country in the Persian Gulf region, where South Korea used to buy mainly Iranian oil, which is very light.

 

 

Claim guarantees

 

During its negotiations, Iran demanded legal, political and economic guarantees that the United States would not disrupt the agreement again, as former President Donald Trump did in 2018.

 

The parties to the agreement, which the United States abandoned nearly four years ago, have indicated growing optimism that a consensus can be reached, which is contingent on oil markets. Its uranium enrichment to be closer to a nuclear weapon.

 

"The moment of truth has come," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at the Munich Security Conference, which was attended by a high-level group of world leaders and diplomats.

Iran: Significant Progress in Nuclear Negotiations
  
{International: Al Furat News} Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday that the ongoing talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers have made "great progress".
 

In his weekly press conference, Khatibzadeh said, "The negotiations have made very remarkable progress, and the scope and number of issues has decreased, but the remaining issues are the most difficult, the most basic and serious that must be resolved. It is among our red lines. According to Fars News,
he added, "If we see the commitment of the other side on the remaining three issues, we will enter the final stage, and we are still waiting for the decisions of Europe and America, but we have not seen their will for this matter until now."
He considered that there was a significant distance left to reach an agreement. He explained that negotiations are underway regarding legal, political and economic guarantees. He said: One of the most important guarantees that we announced in the negotiations, and we are following them seriously, is related to Iran automatically, i.e. the possibility of returning to Iran's programs in the event of any agreement being reached in Vienna, and this It is one of the principles that we declared to the other party.
On the other hand, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, said that talks with European negotiators are ongoing and will continue, while negotiations with the United States are not on the agenda because they will not result in "any breakthrough."

Books / Talal Barakat.

Talal Barkat At first, US President Joe Biden exaggerated the problem of Ukraine and sold antagonists as if missiles and aircraft carriers were ready at the first bullet fired by Putin on Ukraine. Devoting himself to the Russian bear and the Chinese dragon, but it appeared that he did not deal well with adults or with children, because the policy of one option or a mixture of diplomatic solutions to all crises made America in a humiliating and humiliating position because the policy of firmness and courageous decisions are among the duties of the major countries that bear the responsibility of international peace and security As did the former US President John F. Kennedy in the Gulf of Pigs missile crisis in Cuba in 1961.This means that America's vacillating positions have lost its credibility before the world as a superpower. This is why many countries, especially the permanent allies, are no longer tolerated by America's opportunism and its abandonment of its traditional partners, as happened in its sudden flight from Afghanistan and its withdrawal from Iraq, which it handed over to Iran, as well as Syria, which filled Russia is empty, and also its abandonment of its traditional Arab allies. This is why we find Arab laxity in supporting Biden in his campaign to confront Russia, including Egypt, which was a strategic ally of America during the era of President Mubarak. Now, it has deepened its political, military, commercial and tourism relations with Russia, and the matter did not differ with the Gulf states. The Arab and American neglect of their national security and the rush to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran despite Iran’s destabilizing policy of security and peace in the region, in addition to turning a blind eye to Houthi intransigence in Yemen and President Biden’s revocation of the designation of the “Houthis” as a terrorist movement, And its withdrawal from Iraq, which it handed over to Iran, as well as Syria, which Russia filled the void, as well as its abandonment of its traditional Arab allies. This is why we find Arab laxity in supporting Biden in his campaign to confront Russia, including Egypt, which was a strategic ally of America during the era of President Mubarak, but now it has deepened its political relations The matter did not differ with the Arab Gulf states and the suffering of the American neglect of their national security and the rush to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran despite Iran’s destabilizing policy of security and peace in the region, in addition to turning a blind eye to Houthi intransigence in Yemen and President Biden’s cancellation of the “Houthis” classification terrorist movement, And its withdrawal from Iraq, which it handed over to Iran, as well as Syria, which Russia filled the void, as well as its abandonment of its traditional Arab allies. This is why we find Arab laxity in supporting Biden in his campaign to confront Russia, including Egypt, which was a strategic ally of America during the era of President Mubarak, but now it has deepened its political relations The matter did not differ with the Arab Gulf states and the suffering of the American neglect of their national security and the rush to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran despite Iran’s destabilizing policy of security and peace in the region, in addition to turning a blind eye to Houthi intransigence in Yemen and President Biden’s cancellation of the “Houthis” classification terrorist movement, The matter did not differ with the Arab Gulf states and the suffering of the American neglect of their national security and the rush to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran despite Iran’s destabilizing policy of security and peace in the region, in addition to turning a blind eye to Houthi intransigence in Yemen and President Biden’s cancellation of the “Houthis” classification terrorist movement, The matter did not differ with the Arab Gulf states and the suffering of the American neglect of their national security and the rush to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran despite Iran’s destabilizing policy of security and peace in the region, in addition to turning a blind eye to Houthi intransigence in Yemen and President Biden’s cancellation of the “Houthis” classification terrorist movement,

Therefore, Saudi Arabia signed military contracts with Russia to supply it with advanced air defense systems and land and missile weapons, as well as to participate with China in the manufacture of missiles and the transfer of purification without restrictive conditions, as America does. I felt America's opportunistic positions and expanded channels of communication and cooperation with Russia and China, and more than that, its defiance of America and NATO by buying the "S-400" air defense missile system from Russia... In addition to Israel, which is one of America's closest allies and most dependent on the American umbrella, until I found It has been compelled recently to coordinate with Moscow to confront the threat of Iranian militias on its borders with Syria and Lebanon, especially after the Biden administration succumbed to Iran and sharpened its consent in order to return to the nuclear agreement. This means that the decline of the American role in international politics has lost the confidence of allies before friends, in contrast to Russia’s positions, which proved to the world its credibility with allies.. That is why this decline can be considered the beginning of the collapse of American supremacy, because it seems that the old American is living an election complex and that his obsession with his policy has been focused In the face of the Republican Party and the fragmentation of President Trump's decisions to ensure victory in the next round, and so on, everyone will go to hell, but the polls indicate that he will go to hell.

Iran: We Will Not Wait Forever For An Agreement

 
%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%

Information/Baghdad
: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh affirmed, on Tuesday, that Iran is ready to reach an agreement in Vienna, but it will not wait forever.
Khatibzadeh wrote in a tweet to him on Twitter, in response to the statement of his American counterpart, who said that his country was ready to withdraw from the Vienna negotiations if Iran continued to deal harshly: America withdrew from the nuclear agreement years ago. Accordingly, we must make sure that this does not happen again.
He added: Everyone has an alternative plan, but it has been proven by the emptiness of America's alternative plan. Attacks and deception have not and will not bear fruit. Decision making is what pays off.
Khatibzadeh continued, “The agreement is completely within reach if the White House makes its decision. Iran is ready for the agreement, but it will not wait forever.”
It is noteworthy that the eighth round of negotiations between Iran and the “4+1” group began on December 27, during which there was a pause for some time for the delegations to return to their capitals for consultation, and it is still continuing at various levels and the participants are working on completing the draft text of the agreement and making decisions on some controversial issues. finished/25

Israeli channel: US response to Iran over nuclear 'surrender'

2022.03.03 - 19:57
Israeli channel: US response to Iran over nuclear 'surrender'
 

Baghdad - people   

The Israeli "Channel 12" said that the possibility of reaching a new nuclear agreement between world powers and Iran has increased significantly, and that this agreement may be reached after a week or two.  

  

 

  

  

This news channel reported, on Wednesday evening, quoting informed sources, that the US delegation had responded positively to many of Iran's demands to lift sanctions, including lifting sanctions on a number of individuals close to the Iranian leader, Ali Khamenei, and the financial institutions under his supervision.  

  

According to this news channel, Hossein Dehghan, the former defense minister and former commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Ali Akbar Velayati, the leader’s advisor for international affairs and former foreign minister, and Mohsen Rezaei, the former commander of the Revolutionary Guards, are among those who will be lifted, and sanctions against institutions will be lifted. Like the Foundation for the underdog.  

  

According to this channel, Iran's request to lift direct sanctions against the Revolutionary Guards was approved in principle.  

  

The report also referred to an agreement to release American prisoners from Iran's Evin prison.  

  

And the Israeli "Channel 12" quoted sources close to the American delegation and Mikhail Ulyanov, head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna talks, that Washington is ready, in principle, to sign a new agreement with Iran in the near future, even if it is next week.  

  

This channel described the details of the US delegation's agreement in the Vienna talks, from Israel's point of view, as an "American capitulation."  

  

The Israeli and US governments did not comment on the report, but Israel made it clear that it "has always opposed the nuclear agreement and is more opposed to reviving this agreement."  

  

The report of this Israeli channel came at a time when the statements of Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency on March 2, reduced some of the optimism prevailing in the past few days about the approaching agreement on reviving the nuclear agreement.  

  

Grossi said that not only he, but any other official in the International Atomic Energy Agency will not be able to close the uranium file that was found in a number of old Iranian nuclear sites, without a full investigation and discovery of the truth.  

  

Closing the issue was one of Iran's three strong demands last week to clear the way for the nuclear deal's revival.  

  

The Emir of Qatar reportedly tried to persuade Iran to back down during Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi's visit to Doha two weeks ago, but failed.

Shafaq News/ Oil prices fell this evening, Thursday, after recording their highest levels in nearly a decade as sanctions disrupted Russian crude sales, but the rise lost some of its uncertainty due to the growing prospects of concluding a nuclear agreement with Iran.

 

Hilma Croft, an analyst at RBC Capital, says the Iran deal cannot replace the Russian turmoil and the descent will be limited.

 

The benchmark Brent index rose to $119.84 a barrel, the highest since 2012, with additional support coming from data showing that US crude stocks before falling by 20.21 GMT, to $112.75 a barrel.

 

The prices of US contracts fell to reach 109.66 dollars, after prices reached 116 dollars this morning, after an Iranian reporter tweeted about a breakthrough in talks to revive an Iranian nuclear agreement and thus may witness the return of Iranian oil barrels to the market.

 

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which monitors Iran's nuclear activity, will visit Iran on Saturday in another move seen as raising the prospects of a deal.

Nuclear negotiations: An Iranian newspaper talks about 3 solutions to the success of the agreement with the West
 

Baghdad - people  

On Saturday, the Iranian newspaper, Kayhan, presented a set of solutions that pave the way for an agreement in the ongoing nuclear negotiations in the Austrian capital Vienna.  

  

  

According to the newspaper, which is close to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, she said in an article, on Saturday, that "the West is showing great urgency to reach an agreement in the Vienna negotiations, but the optimism and positivity that exists about the results of the negotiations will not be a substitute for a good agreement, as long as all outstanding issues remain." It has not been resolved yet, it is not correct to say that the nuclear negotiations have succeeded."  

  

Regarding solutions, the newspaper explained: "The first thing that must be done is to lift the sanctions, so that the outputs will be: sustainable economic benefit for Iran in the sectors of banking, selling oil and attracting investments."  

  

And she added, "Secondly, it is necessary to verify the correctness of lifting the sanctions in a specific time period of several months, and thirdly, we should obtain significant guarantees that the behavior of America, which it has practiced during the past six years, will not be repeated."  

  

Regarding the Biden administration’s decision yesterday, Friday, to extend the state of emergency for Iran, the newspaper indicated that this step by the US administration confirms that Washington intends to continue imposing sanctions under new names, and this means that Iran cannot benefit from the decision to lift sanctions.

With Iran and the great powers approaching the signing of a nuclear agreement in Vienna, the Israeli political, security and military circles are anxious to discuss the next step. Their options include continuing efforts to thwart the agreement by communicating with the US and European parties, persisting with economic pressure, or putting the military option on the table, despite its high cost, especially with the outbreak of the Ukrainian war.

In recent days, Israelis have put forward what they say is a middle alternative, between accepting the nuclear agreement, despite its harm to the occupying power, and the offensive option that may encounter international opposition. This alternative is intensifying special security and intelligence operations by Mossad, including the assassination of nuclear scientists, cyber penetrations, or the targeting of nuclear facilities with surgical operations.

Israeli military circles are saying that if a new nuclear agreement is signed with Iran, Mossad will be at the forefront of Israel's secret war against the ballistic missile project and the production of a nuclear warhead for Iranian missiles. This, however, is a serious challenge to Mossad's boss, David Barnea, at a time when his agency is undergoing organisational changes and a wave of resignations of its senior leaders.

 

For Israelis, the importance of Mossad's role comes in light of the failure of its political leadership to change the provisions of the nuclear agreement to be signed. The political leadership has made a strategic decision not to clash with the Joe Biden administration, as Benjamin Netanyahu did when he clashed with Barack Obama in 2015. Meanwhile, secret channels witnessed Israel's attempts to influence the contents of the agreement and persuade Washington to insist on certain points in the negotiations in Vienna. Similar efforts were exerted by the diplomatic channels of the Foreign Ministry with Britain, France and Germany, but all to no avail.

The security community is watching a number of risks resulting from the signing of the nuclear agreement, especially given the weak US position in the negotiations with Iran following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. It seems that Biden is running out of patience and rushing to conclude an agreement with Iran, while emphasising that Israel is not a party to the new agreement. Israel, however, opposes him and has made its position clear to the great powers, stressing that it maintains the independence of its decision on how to deal with Iran after the signing of the agreement, especially since its security will be affected in several important areas.

The nuclear agreement is raising numerous Israeli concerns. These concerns include Iran's abilities to: progress in uranium enrichment and become a nuclear "threshold state"; continue on the secret military path to building a nuclear bomb; proceed with the ballistic missile project; maintain its support for its allies in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Gaza following the lifting of some important economic sanctions; and finally the flow of funds it will gain from the sale of oil, and the resolving of frozen funds that will enhance its economic strength.

At the same time, with some exceptions, most Israeli forums have begun to realise that the signing of a new nuclear agreement with Iran effectively neutralises the Israeli military option and prevents it from launching a pre-emptive strike on Iranian nuclear sites. Therefore, senior Israeli politicians are demanding economic and security compensation measures from the US after signing the nuclear agreement and the provision of additional guarantees that enhance Israeli security.

The apparent absence of an Israeli military option against Iran does not mean that Mossad is also out of the picture. Rather, it is expected that a huge budget allocated by the government for the military option will be directed to the implementation of the new plan that Mossad will lead. This is in conjunction with the army's focus on preventing the Iranian military presence in Syria and the transfer of Hezbollah's advanced weapons in Lebanon via Syria as part of the "battle between wars". Mossad will be tasked with weakening Iran's economic and operational capabilities.

Israeli forums consider this a very big challenge to the head of Mossad, who is leading Israel's secret campaign against Iran, especially since the agency is going through a series of internal shocks as part of the new organisational changes and a wave of resignations of its seniors. Mossad will be tasked with collecting intelligence information for future operations, especially those related to the sites where the missile's warhead intended to carry the nuclear bomb is manufactured, the mechanism of its activation and targeting many nuclear and rocket scientists.

Besides this, Mossad is expected to continue cyber-attacks against sensitive facilities in Iran related to the nuclear programme and ballistic missile project, and to encourage opposition elements in Iran such as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (People's Mujahidin), to take measures against the Iranian regime in order to shock it with various actions.

The nuclear agreement with Iran, which is likely to be signed in the coming days in Vienna, is bad for Israel in all respects, but simultaneously, it gives it a relatively important period to prepare a reliable and effective military option for the day of confrontation. The agreement does not include an international request for Iran to dismantle the advanced centrifuges they have installed or cease the research and development of newer centrifuges. Instead, Iran will have partial removal of sanctions imposed on it.

 

This means that Israel may pursue a serious policy of convincing the US that Iran, under the agreement, will be more aggressive and violent, with much more money to do so. With quite a few unresolved issues at stake that Iran has with Israel and other countries, there will be "pillars of blood, fire and smoke". This calls for continuous operational and intelligence coordination in the face of Iranian threats to overcome them, increasing, in the first place, the number of options to deal with them once the agreement is signed.

Concurrently, the Israeli military and security forums say that they should be better prepared to confront this threat in the future, as only partial compensation for the intended agreement. Until then, we will be facing an escalation of mutual operations between Israel and Iran throughout all possible fields of confrontations, including military, security, cyber and economic, in a campaign that is only expected to escalate.

Disclosure of three obstacles to the Vienna agreement between Iran and Western countries
 

Baghdad - people  

On Sunday, the Iranian newspaper, Vatan Emrouz, revealed three unresolved obstacles to the Vienna Agreement between Iran and Western countries.  

  

  

The newspaper, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, said in an article followed by "Nass" (March 6, 2022), that "three issues have not been resolved in the nuclear negotiations so far: the guarantees demanded by Tehran and the other parties refraining from agreeing to them, and the sanctions imposed on Iran under former US President Donald Trump, and finally put the Revolutionary Guards on the list of terrorist organizations."  

  

The newspaper added, "The continuation of these sanctions on Iran practically means that it will not benefit from the nuclear agreement."  

  

On the other hand, the fundamentalist "Kayhan" newspaper, which is close to the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, commented on the developments of the Iranian file and the negotiations aimed at reviving the nuclear agreement, while warning Iranian officials not to be influenced by Western pressure.  

  

And she stated, "The West should know that the Iranian Republic will not be affected by its pressures, and if it was given the choice between the "bad deal" and "no-deal", it would definitely choose the "no-deal" option, because reviving the nuclear agreement without lifting sanctions is a pure loss."  

  

The newspaper pointed out that "the Western parties are trying these days to put the Iranian delegation between two options: no agreement, and the "bad agreement", which is an agreement that fulfills the desire of America and Europe."
