Ebadi urges world action to weaken Iran rulers on revolution anniversary

February 8, 2019 channelnewsasia Leave a Comment

PARIS/LONDON: Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi said she first had doubts about the 1979 Islamic Revolution when members of the Shah's regime were executed on the rooftop of a school housing its leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.She has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of Iran's clerical leadership, 40 years after Khomeini returned from exile in Paris on a special Air France flight to ecstatic crowds on Feb 1, 1979.But as Iran commemorates the rise of Khomeini, who won the support of millions opposed to the US-backed Shah's lavish lifestyle and ruthless secret police, her criticisms of its current rulers are compounded by frustrations about US policy.US sanctions designed to undermine Iran's ruling theocracy have only hurt ordinary Iranians who face widespread hardships, said Ebadi, a human rights lawyer and former judge who has been living in exile in Britain since 2009."The economic sanctions are not to the benefit of the people. They make the … [Read more...] about Ebadi urges world action to weaken Iran rulers on revolution anniversary

By The Associated Press Thu., Feb. 7, 2019 TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has pardoned a “large number” of prisoners in honour of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, state TV reported Thursday.

Some prisoners would be released while others would have their sentences reduced. According to judiciary website Mizanonline.com, the pardon covers a wide range of people, from those serving a year in jail to life in prison. It said convicts in jail on armed opposition charges, kidnapping, rape, armed robbery, fraud, embezzlement, bribery, forging bank notes and coins, money laundering, smuggling and organized crimes will not be pardoned.

TEHRAN: Iran announced the “successful test” of a new cruise missile with a range of over 1,350km yesterday, coinciding with celebrations for the country’s 1979 Islamic revolution. “The test of the Hoveizeh cruise missile was carried out successfully at a range of 1,200km and accurately hit the set target,” Defence Minister Amir Hatami said, quoted on state television which broadcast footage of its launch. “It can be ready in the shortest possible time and flies at a very low altitude,” he said.

Iranian oil: 40 years of revolution, war, sanctions and bans

November 3, 2018 channelnewsasia Leave a Comment

LONDON: Nearly 40 years after the 1979 Islamic revolution saw the exit of Western oil companies from Iran, the Iranian oil sector faces yet another costly disruption after a series of interruptions from war, sanctions and diplomatic isolation.Washington will reapply sanctions to Iran's oil sector on Nov. 4, after ending its participation in an international deal governing Iran's nuclear sector. Iran's oil buyers outside the United States will stop or reduce purchases because of secondary sanctions applied on foreign companies that use the U.S. banking system.Having lifted a self-imposed revolutionary ban on foreign investors in 1995, Iran has struggled to attract external investment for any sustained period.The isolation caused by poor relations with the United States and, in recent years, Tehran's efforts to develop a nuclear capability have prevented Iran building output capacity.But huge reserves run by the National Iranian Oil Co have helped it cling to its position as one of the … [Read more...] about Iranian oil: 40 years of revolution, war, sanctions and bans
