JCPOA remains if sanctions are away

2018/07/16 | Council, News

Strategic Council Online: President of Strategic Council on Foreign Relations emphasizes that because of US illegal withdrawal from Joint Plan of Action (JCPOA) I.R. Iran expects other parties of the deal to help Iran to leave US sanctions behind, because non-execution of the deal means that there is no benefit for Iran to remain a party to the deal.

Dr. Kamal Kharrazi on his China trip and besides participation at Beijing World Peace Forum, visited some international relations and foreign relations studies institutes.

The China Institute of International Studies (CHS), Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA) and The China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations were among those Chinese institutes that were visited during this trip.

Regional issues, Terrorism, US policies and tensions in international system, US withdrawal from JCPOA and its consequences were among subjects which were discussed with presidents of those institutes.

In these meetings, both sides emphasized on the necessity of bilateral cooperation, regional détente in Far East and Middle East, preserving JCPOA and fighting against terrorism.

Emphasizing on Iran’s stabilizing role in the region and preserving status quo in Iraq and Syria, Dr. Kharrazi said unfortunately expansion of terrorism in the region and creation of terrorist groups like ISIS would be impossible if some countries in the region didn’t help them financially and logistically.

On bilateral economic cooperation, President of Strategic Council on Foreign Relations hinted on Iran-China cooperation in “One belt – One Road” project, development of Chabahar in South East of Iran, and Gwadar port in Pakistan. Development of these vast geographical regions contributes to easier access of Middle East and Mediterranean region.

In these meetings, continuation of dialogues between the Iranian-Chinese scholars and cooperation between the two sides were emphasized.

It Was America That Abandoned Nuclear Diplomacy/ Iran Also Considers Diplomacy the Best Approach

2024/05/13

Strategic Council Online: The President of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations stated: “The US State Department spokesperson, after my interview with Al Jazeera, reiterated their past remarks, stating that they won’t allow Iran to build nuclear weapons, but ultimately said diplomacy is the best approach. Yes, we too prefer diplomacy since based on the Fatwa of our Supreme Leader are not for nuclear weapons; rather, we are advocates of diplomacy to make the Middle East a nuclear-free region. But, in case the Israeli regime threatens us with nuclear weapons, we surely cannot sit idle and wait for permission from others.”

Europe’s Confusion in Securing Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea

2024/05/12

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The strategic Strait of Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea have recently faced serious problems and crises due to the Gaza war. This is because of the protectionist approach of the Yemeni army forces toward Palestine, which, since the beginning of the Israeli regime’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, has included attacks on ships bound for or from the origin of the regime in the Red Sea.
They said they will continue their attacks until the Israeli regime’s military aggression in the Gaza Strip ends. The United States, as the most important supporter of the Israeli regime, was the first country to respond to this policy of Yemeni army forces and tried to form a global coalition to counter these attacks under the cover of supporting freedom of navigation, which, of course, failed because of conflicts of interests of Western countries and ended in the actions of the US and British attacks on positions in Yemen. Of course, although European countries were not seriously involved in the American coalition, they have numerous and complex interests in this inflammatory, and as a result, have adopted a particular and independent approach.

The prospect of Possible Departure of Hamas Political Office from Qatar

2024/05/12

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on regional issues said Qatari authorities will definitely resist Western pressure to expel Hamas leaders from their territory, and probably the United States will not move towards a zero-hundred equation in this regard because if the Hamas leaders remain in Qatar, which is an ally of the United States, is better than moving to a country outside the power of the United States to exert pressure.

Messages and Consequences of Student Protests in the United States

2024/05/12

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Student protests in America take on new dimensions every day.
Because the university enjoys higher public trust and social capital than other civil and social institutions and is, therefore, more effective, the current protests put the U.S. government in a “difficult situation” that is clear in the statements of current and former U.S. officials.
