Iran Appears More Willing To Talk Human Rights — UN Investigator

Pointing to United States presidential order and European Union ratification that have ordered removal of sanctions in written and have published it in their legal gazettes, President Rouhani has expressed hope that removal of sanctions would open a new chapter in Iran’s economy to benefit its natural, social and political capacities to achieve Resistance Economy policies.

The United States has stressed that it believes the test may have violated UN Resolution 1929, which prohibits Iran from launching ballistic missiles that are capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

“No other country in the Middle East is able to do this”, said Salehi, adding Iran is exporting radiomedicines as well.

“But other developments in Iran over the past 12 months gives us pause on why we should not put too much weight on this because there have been rising executions”, Shaheed said, adding that women are still treated as second-class citizens. Gentiloni’s Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, will accompany Rouhani to Rome to discuss increasing Italian investment in Iran and strengthening bilateral ties, prospects made more attractive by the signing of the Vienna nuclear agreement.

“It’s not surprising that groups who oppose the JCPOA are seeking to cast every instance of Iranian bad behavior as a violation of it”, said J Street Vice President of Government Affairs Dylan Williams. Oil services firm Halliburton, for example, has gotten around this restriction by having a Tehran office that is not controlled by the USA parent and is staffed by non-US persons.

“All parties must consider the statements of the Supreme Leader as the final word as such, they are paramount over their own positions and his commands and advice are more important than partisan issues and disagreements because he is the monitor and guardian of the Islamic Revolution”, he said.

The White House and Iran countered that the launch did not violate the nuclear deal because it does not include missile testing.

More than 800 people have been executed so far this year, and Iran is on track to reach 1,000 by the end of the year, its highest total in years.

Finance, energy, and automobile manufacturing are three of the largest and most politically influential industries in the US. If that happens, stay tuned for scathing Congressional hearings.

The vista of the agreement bringing lifted sanctions in the not too distant future has excited Iranians eager for more involvement with the rest of the world, including importantly those advocating more democracy.
