Box: 11365/9631 Address: Martyr Shah Cheraghi Street, Ferdowsi Avenue, Tehran – Islamic Republic of Iran Military Inspections Definitely Out of Question Evening(Maghreb) Sunrise “Tomorrow” TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif has called on the international community to play an active role in the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries over Tehran’s nuclear program. By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foreigners will never ever be allowed to have access to Iran’s military sites under any circumstances, a top Iranian military commander said on Sunday. “We reiterate that foreigners will definitely not be permitted to have access to military centers in any way, even if it contradicts accepting the Additional Protocol,” Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said. The armed forces have a duty to safeguard the Islamic Republic’s security and interests, he added, arguing that any foreign access to the country’s military sites or information would run counter to the country’s security and public demands. Jazayeri’s remarks echo earlier comments by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who stressed in May that Iran would not allow the inspection of its military sites. The Leader ruled out any request for interviews with Tehran’s nuclear scientists, and described it as an instance of “interrogation”. “I would not let foreigners come and talk to the Iranian nation’s dear scientists... who have expanded this wide knowledge to this stage,” Ayatollah Khamenei explained. Meanwhile, a senior Iranian lawmaker said the parliament is working on a bill based on which the country can resume uranium enrichment activities in case a possible final agreement on Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program is violated by the other side. Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the par- Iran Rejects ‘Baseless’ Claims to Its Islands TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran has rejected as “baseless” a statement by the Persian Gulf Arab states supporting the United Arab Emirates’ alleged claim to three Iranian islands. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said that the three Persian Gulf islands of the ‘Takfiris Created to Overshadow Palestinian Issue’ Speaking to Arabic-language AlManar TV, Shamkhani touched upon the latest developments in the Middle East and the spread of Takfiri and terrorist groups in the region, saying that extremists have emerged in the region with the support of some Western states and the Zionist regime of Israel. “Western states, Zionists and tyrants have created them Takfiri groups in our region to waste the energy and power of the Islamic Um- 05:48 FM Calls for Active Int’l Role in Nuclear Talks Sponsoring Terrorism mah and prevent the Muslim world from focusing on its basic objective, which is the issue of Palestine,” he said. Earlier this month, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei reiterated that the issue of Palestine is the main issue for Iran and that Tehran’s support for the Palestinian people will continue. Takfiri groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are believed to be supported by the West and some regional Arab countries. The terrorist group claims as an independent state the territory of Iraq and Syria, with implied future claims intended over more of the Levant, including Lebanon, occu- 20:42 Dawn(Fajr)“ Tomorrow” 04:01 Viewpoint TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said by creating Takfiris the West and the occupying regime of Israel seek to prevent Muslim countries from focusing on the Palestinian issue. The Holy Qur’an (9.112) PRAYER TIMINGS Noon (Zohr) 13:04 In the Name of the Most High Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has on several occasions maintained that the United States is promoting terrorism in border areas, seeking to destabilize the Kurdish region by backing insurgents, and using arms and money against the Islamic Republic. In his words: “I say this firmly that unfortunately across our borders, especially our western borders, the Americans are busy making a conspiracy; they are busy fostering terrorism. Money, arms and organizations are being used by the Americans directly across our western borders to fight the Islamic Republic.” Despite his preceding rhetoric of engagement with Tehran, President Barack Obama has said he may be prepared to impose further illegal sanctions against Iran if diplomatic efforts fail to make progress in the ongoing nuclear talks, although he refuses to set what he calls “an arbitrary deadline”. Just as importantly, while Obama apparently stresses the importance of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Prime Murderer Benjamin Netanyahu never utters the phrase or alludes to the possibility of a Palestinian state. Instead, Netanyahu claims: “If the Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish state, then I think we can come to a substantive solution that allows the two peoples to live side by side in security and peace.” Amazingly, he also declines to respond to explicit calls by Obama to both stop Zionist settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories and to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which has been subject to strict blockade by the Zionist regime and Egypt since last year. As maintained by Ayatollah Khamenei, Washington must show a real policy shift toward Tehran and the region, mainly seeing that U.S. forces have been blamed for the sorry state of affairs in Iraq, particularly the recent gains by the terrorist group of ISIL in Ramadi. Regardless of Obama’s promise of “engagement”, there have been no practical changes up until now in the arrogant attitude and behavior of the U.S. government toward the Middle East and the Islamic Republic. Quite the opposite, the Obama administration has evil plans for Iraq (division) and the Kurds (sectarian violence). He is funding terrorist organizations for an escalation of covert operations against Syria too. As always, Iranian Kurds and the entire nation should remain fully aware and watchful. They who turn (to Allah), who serve (Him), who praise (Him), who fast, who bow down, who prostrate themselves, who enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and who keep the limits of Allah; and give good news to the believers. pied Palestine, Jordan, Cyprus, and Southern Turkey. On Saturday, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani described Iran’s support for neighboring Iraq in the fight against terrorism as a sign of Tehran’s responsible behavior. “We do not intend to interfere in Iraq, and are helping them (Iraqis) with the sense of responsibility,” Larijani said. Some countries have an understanding of Iran’s responsible behavior towards Iraq, he said, but also noted that some others are “not sincere” and cause problems. The second group should know that they will have to change their attitude, because Iran will not change its approach, Larijani said. Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa are under the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic, stressing that the repetition of unfounded allegations over the territories would not change historical facts. On Friday, the six-nation Persian Gulf Cooperation Council issued a statement at the end of its meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, supporting the UAE’s claim on the three islands. The map shows the location of the three Iranian islands of the Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa in the Persian Gulf. Emphasizing that friendly ties with neighbors based on a noninterference policy and mutual respect top the Islamic Republic’s agenda, Afkham said Iran does not consider any limit to the promotion of friendly relations with neighboring countries and welcomes cooperation with those states. The three islands have been historically part of Iran. Countless historical, legal and geographical documents in Iran and other parts of the world corroborate Tehran’s sovereignty over the islands. The United Arab Emirates has, however, repeatedly laid claim to the islands. liament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has already passed the bill following Washington’s talk of a gradual, instead of immediate, removal of anti-Iran sanctions once Tehran will have honored commitments under a final nuclear agreement. He also noted that a lasting accord needs to recognize Iran’s right to continue Research and Development (R&D) activities in the nuclear field, something that the Leader has also underlined. “The international community should not just observe the nuclear talks and it is necessary for it to play a role in this regard, so that the negotiations can bear fruit,” Zarif said in a meeting with Indian Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar here. The Indian official, for his part, expressed hope that Iran and the P5+1 group could reach an agreement on the text of a final agreement soon, adding that such a deal could contribute to the promotion of Tehran-New Delhi ties. Negotiators from Iran and the P5+1 – (Continued on Page 7) Zionist Nukes RESALAT: As far as the United Nations, the Arab League and numerous international organizations and watchdogs - including American and European - are concerned, the Zionist regime is the only entity in the Middle Ease that actually has nuclear weapons and the only regime that refuses to submit to international demands and inspections. It is also the only illegal entity in the Middle East that continues to kill and mime without being challenged by the United Nations, the United States and its allies. Iraqi Resistance IRAN: The Iraqi government has on several occasions made it clear that the country does not need U.S. help on reconciliation issues and security, while also warning against regional and international interferences in Iraq’s affairs. This clearly goes against the main U.S. plan which is long-standing occupation. Washington has laid out long-term plans for Iraq such as setting up permanent military bases and having an administration that will always serve its illicit political and economic interests throughout the region. Consequently, it seems rather odd if the U.S. occupying forces leave without attaining these unholy goals. Waking Up KHORASAN: The time is ripe for a mass Islamic movement to challenge the militaristic regimes and lies (unfounded Iranian threat) and overwhelm the Zionist-American fear mongering and militarism with peace and priorities that reflect a new understanding of human security, which would make the Middle East region safer for us all. Seeing the Western-made carnage in Iraq and Afghanistan, the time is also ripe for the Muslim world to wake up and start talking peace and not making war. U.S. Shame QODS: It is a shame that the U.S. government has retreated from its previous position as regards Israel putting a freeze on all settlement activities prior to any peace talks with the Palestinian Authority. Indeed, if the U.S. administration wants to resume the peace process, it will have to compel the criminal regime to halt the settlements and to start the negotiations from where they stopped in 2008.
