Iran requests international police assistance to arrest suspect in 'Natanz' bombing

2021.04.18 - 14:40

 

  

Baghdad - People  

The Iranian "Kayhan" newspaper reported, on Sunday, that Tehran had requested the International Police (Interpol) to help arrest a person suspected of involvement in the bombing of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.  

 

  

The newspaper said, "The Iranian intelligence and judicial agencies are currently trying to arrest him and return him to the country."  

And she continued, "This person is 43 years old, and after his identity was established, the necessary measures were taken through Interpol to arrest and return him."  

As of Sunday noon, a search for the name "Reda Karimi" on the INTERPOL website for wanted persons was showing no results.  

On Saturday, Iranian television published a picture of the person involved in the attack on the Natanz nuclear facility, indicating that he was called Reza Karimi, an Iranian, and that he was 43 years old.  

On Monday, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said that his country would respond to Israel at the appropriate time and place to the Natanz attack, indicating that the incident would have led to a disaster and a crime against humanity if it led to radioactive contamination.  

The Israeli public radio reported, citing intelligence sources, as saying that the "Mossad" agency was behind the Natanz incident.  

A spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Behrouz Kamalondi, confirmed that the electricity distribution network at the Natanz facility had had an accident, while the head of the organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, said that the accident was an act, describing it as "a heinous move and condemned nuclear terrorism."  

In the wake of the Natanz attack, Iran announced that it would raise the level of uranium enrichment to 60%, and the Atomic Energy Organization confirmed that this would start last Friday.

Iran Rattled as Israel Repeatedly Strikes Key Targets.

Iran Rattled as Israel Repeatedly Strikes Key Targets.
Recent attacks suggest that Israel has a clandestine network inside Iran and that Iranian security services have been powerless to break it.

In less than nine months, an assassin on a motorbike fatally shot an Al Qaeda commander given refuge in Tehran, Iran’s chief nuclear scientist was machine-gunned on a country road, and two separate, mysterious explosions rocked a key Iranian nuclear facility in the desert, striking the heart of the country’s efforts to enrich uranium.

The steady drumbeat of attacks, which intelligence officials said were carried out by Israel, highlighted the seeming ease with which Israeli intelligence was able to reach deep inside Iran’s borders and repeatedly strike its most heavily guarded targets, often with the help of turncoat Iranians.

The attacks, the latest wave in more than two decades of sabotage and assassinations, have exposed embarrassing security lapses and left Iran’s leaders looking over their shoulders as they pursue negotiations with the Biden administration aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear agreement.

The recriminations have been caustic.

The head of Parliament’s strategic center said Iran had turned into a “haven for spies.” The former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps called for an overhaul of the country’s security and intelligence apparatus. Lawmakers have demanded the resignation of top security and intelligence officials.

Most alarming for Iran, Iranian officials and analysts said, was that the attacks revealed that Israel had an effective network of collaborators inside Iran and that Iran’s intelligence services had failed to find them.

“That the Israelis are effectively able to hit Iran inside in such a brazen way is hugely embarrassing and demonstrates a weakness that I think plays poorly inside Iran,” said Sanam Vakil, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House.

The attacks have also cast a cloud of paranoia over a country that now sees foreign plots in every mishap.

The Iranian currency is seeing a 4% recovery in a matter of hours

Political| 03:14 - 02/05/2021

 

 

 

 

Baghdad - Mawazine News
The Iranian currency witnessed, on Sunday, a recovery in the currency market in Tehran, by 4%, within hours, as the value of the US dollar fell from 23,150 tomans yesterday, to 22,000 tomans as of writing this news.
Observers attribute this rise to the ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the other parties to the nuclear deal in Vienna, and talk of an initial understanding that would require lifting sanctions on oil and gas exports and Iranian banking dealings.
It is noteworthy that most of the banking shops in the currency market in Tehran are closed due to the Corona pandemic.
It should also be noted that the Vienna talks are taking place within the framework of the nuclear agreement and in the presence of representatives from Iran and 4 + 1 countries only, and there are no direct or indirect negotiations on the agenda of the Iranian delegation with the US delegation.

support for reviving the nuclear deal with Iran">http://non14.net/public/images/large/8-1620236966.jpg

The G7 countries affirmed their support for efforts to revive the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program, considering that this deal represents the best way to ensure its peaceful character.

"The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action remains the best way to ensure the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program," the foreign ministers of the group said in a statement issued today, Wednesday, after their meeting in London.

The "G7" countries, which include the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, affirmed their support for the talks aimed at reviving the nuclear agreement, but at the same time they expressed concern about "Iran's recent actions" in this field without specifying what measures are being talked about. .

The ministers added, "We call on Iran to cease all activities related to ballistic missiles that are inconsistent with Resolution 2231 of the United Nations Security Council, and to refrain from destabilizing actions and to play a constructive role in promoting regional stability and peace."

About 4 weeks ago, Vienna has hosted talks under the auspices of the European Union on ways to salvage the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program in light of the withdrawal of the United States from it in 2018 during the term of its former president, Donald Trump, who imposed painful sanctions on the Iranian side, to respond to the latter by reducing his obligations in the deal since 2019 .

The talks are officially taking place between Iran on the one hand, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany on the other hand, but the European Union has previously confirmed the participation of the United States, whose delegation is staying in a nearby hotel, in the dialogue without engaging in any direct contacts with the Iranian side, which refuses to negotiate with the administration of the American president, Joe Biden, before the sanctions are lifted, while Washington insists on the need to advance the principle of one step for another.

The United States: A nuclear agreement is possible within weeks if Iran makes a political decision

Follow-up A senior US State Department official said on Thursday that an understanding could be reached within weeks on how Washington and Tehran would resume their compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The US official added, "But this matter depends on Iran making a political decision to do so." A Saudi source reveals the Kingdom's expectations from its talks with Iran "Is it possible to see a joint return to compliance with the nuclear agreement in the coming weeks or an understanding on mutual compliance? Answer: Yes! It is possible," he told reporters in a telephone briefing. And he continued, "Is this likely? The answer: only time will tell us that because, as I said, the matter is ultimately about a political decision that must be taken in Iran." He stated that Washington believes that it is in the US national security interest to resume compliance with the Iran nuclear deal if Iran does so

Washington denies the intention to unilaterally release frozen Iranian funds

The idea is facing opposition from the hawks of Congress

The US State Department denied, on Thursday, that Washington is considering releasing frozen Iranian funds as a unilateral US initiative during the nuclear negotiations.

"Reports indicating that we are assessing the release of Iranian funds as a unilateral gesture towards Tehran are not true," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a tweet.

"Any substantive move by the United States must be part of a process in which both sides take action," Price added in his blog.

Reporting suggesting we are weighing the release of Iranian as a unilateral gesture to Tehran funds is not true, which we made clear prior to publication. As we have said, any substantial move by the US would have to be part of a process in which both sides take actions.

- Ned Price (@StateeptSpox) May 6, 2021

The US network CNN said that the administration of US President Joe Biden was considering canceling the freeze of one billion dollars of Iranian funds that the country could use for humanitarian relief, amid the ongoing negotiations to restore the 2015 nuclear deal and return Iran to compliance with its terms.

The network clarified that it is not clear whether the funds will be released unilaterally, but one of the proposals says that this could be a goodwill gesture useful to Tehran, according to three people familiar with the internal deliberations.

The network's report, citing a congressional Republican, added that the idea was facing opposition from hawks of Congress familiar with the discussions.

The source pointed out that some on Capitol Hill viewed the idea of unfreezing any of Iran's funds as a concession that would reduce the influence of the United States.

The talks in Vienna enter their second month without tangible signs so far of a breakthrough, and the Iranians continue to demand sanctions relief in exchange for compliance with the nuclear deal.

Indirect negotiations began at the beginning of April in the Austrian capital Vienna between the United States and Iran, in which, in particular, the Europeans and the rest of the signatories of the agreement concluded in 2015 aimed at preventing Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

The talks aim to find ways for Washington to return to the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action", the official name for the nuclear deal, after former US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew his country from it.

"Reports that we view the unfreezing of Iranian assets as a unilateral gesture towards Tehran are incorrect," Price confirmed on Twitter. "As we said earlier, any meaningful US move must be part of a process that includes both sides."

Price's comments came after a report by "CNN" television, which stated that the United States was considering unfreezing one billion dollars that the Iranian authorities could use for humanitarian purposes.

Germany: The Iranian nuclear talks are time consuming but constructive

BAGHDAD - Mawazine News
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that time is a fundamental factor in the Vienna negotiations aimed at reviving the Iranian nuclear deal, adding that the talks take a long time, but are taking place in a good atmosphere.
Maas said on the sidelines of a meeting with his European Union counterparts in Brussels that "the negotiations are difficult and arduous, but all the participants are holding the talks in a constructive atmosphere."
On the other hand, he added, "Time is running out ... and we aim for a complete return to the Iranian nuclear agreement because this is the only way to ensure that Iran is unable to acquire nuclear weapons."
US officials returned to Vienna last week to participate in a fourth round of indirect talks with Iran on ways to return to compliance with the agreement, from which former US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018, which prompted Iran, after about a year, to start reducing its commitment to the terms of the agreement. / H

Negotiators in the Iranian nuclear talks talk about "an agreement that has begun to take shape."

May 20, 2021

Vienna - (AFP) - Negotiators on the Iranian nuclear file announced on Wednesday at the conclusion of a new round of talks in Vienna to bring Tehran and Washington back to the framework of the 2015 agreement, that "tangible progress" had been achieved, and that the features of an agreement began to emerge.

At the end of the round of talks, European diplomat Enrique Mora, who heads the Joint Commission on the Nuclear Agreement, said: "We have made good progress. (There is) an agreement that has begun to take shape. ”

In a tweet, Mora indicated a "common understanding" about the work that "still needs to be done in the United States" to return to the 2015 nuclear agreement to prevent Tehran from having an atomic bomb, which has been stalling since 2018 after the decision of then-US President Donald Trump to withdraw from it.

An understanding must be reached between Iran and the United States, which is indirectly participating in the talks, about the lifting of the sanctions imposed by Trump and the return of the Islamic Republic to full compliance with the terms of the agreement.

And the three European countries participating in the agreement (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) considered in a joint statement that “on the nuclear and sanctions fronts, we are beginning to see that the frameworks of what the final agreement might be are taking shape. The data is different from what it was when we left the last time.

However, the representatives of the three countries stressed the need not to "underestimate the future challenges", given "the complexity of some technical issues."

Also, the Iranian impression was positive. On Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke in televised speeches about making "big steps", according to what was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency, "IRNA", pledging that his country would emerge "victorious" from the negotiations.

But the American side was more conservative. "The last two rounds of talks have contributed to crystallizing the options that must be taken by both Iran and the United States in order for the two parties to return to the nuclear agreement," State Department spokeswoman Galina Porter said.

The new round of talks will be held early next week in the Austrian capital.

But before that, Iran must extend the "temporary" agreement signed in February with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which expires this week.

The "technical bilateral" agreement announced on February 21 for a period of three months allows United Nations inspectors to continue their field work in the Islamic Republic, noting that Iranian law was issued later that restricted their activities.

Under the agreement, the Islamic Republic pledged to provide all camera and other data if the sanctions were lifted by the end of the three-month period.

The three European countries stressed "the need for Iran to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to continue the necessary monitoring activities." She added that the Agency's entry to the sites of nuclear activities "is essential to the success of our efforts to revive the nuclear deal."

Shafaq News / On Thursday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani revealed that an agreement had been reached to lift the main sanctions on Iran.

 

The Iranian Tasnim news agency quoted Rouhani as saying that the parties participating in the Vienna negotiations have agreed to cancel all the major sanctions imposed on Iran, and now there is talk about partial and detailed issues.

On Wednesday, Rouhani announced that his government is continuing the Vienna talks with the parties to the nuclear agreement, in the interest of the interests of the Iranian people and seeking to lift the unjust embargo on it. Rouhani made clear, during the cabinet meeting, that his government, throughout its eight years of life, had only entered into negotiations and emerged victorious.

 

Since the beginning of April 2021, the Austrian capital has hosted the meetings of the Joint Committee on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program, in order to achieve the United States' return to commitment to the nuclear agreement, the lifting of US sanctions on Iran, and the complete revival of the nuclear agreement.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Reuters

Arab and international Economy News - Baghdad Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced that an agreement had been reached in the Vienna negotiations, where he stated, from Tehran, that the major countries agreed to cancel the basic embargo measures imposed on the oil, petrochemical, shipping, insurance, and central bank sectors. Rouhani added that the main agreement was reached, and the discussion now revolves around the partial and detailed issues. For its part, the International Atomic Energy Agency indicated that it and Iran are currently consulting on the implementation of the existing understandings. Noting that the agreement with Iran regarding monitoring its nuclear sites is in effect. Rouhani's remarks are consistent with comments made by the chief envoy of the European Union to the Vienna meetings on Wednesday, who said he was "absolutely sure" that "a final agreement is not far from here." On the impact of this news, Brent crude fell 1.8% to $ 65.47 a barrel by 11:11 am in London on Thursday, increasing its losses this week to about 5%. Iran is already preparing its oil fields so that it can increase exports, if sanctions are eased. Under the most optimistic forecasts, the country will be able to increase production to 4 million barrels per day from about 2.4 million within a few months. Analysts in "Citigroup" suggested that Washington would allow Tehran to increase exports by 500 thousand barrels per day as of the middle of the third quarter. The bank said the United States would want to see evidence of Iran's compliance with the terms of the deal before allowing more shipments. Negotiators concluded the last round of talks on Wednesday. The European Union and Russia have said they are close to finalizing a document outlining how the United States will return to the deal, which former President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018, and how Iran will scale back its nuclear program. Iran holds the presidential elections on June 18, and Rouhani, who has served two terms, will step down about two months later. His government is eager to strike a deal before the vote.
