Instead, he is after convincing the international community that even if Iran has adhered to JCPOA so far, there is no guarantee that it would continue doing so. In Trump\u2019s view, Iran\u2019s establishment has shown no respect for international laws, for instance by occupying embassies and hostage-takings; therefore, it can hardly comply with international agreements.<br \/>\nHowever, this policy is problematic: Trump first announced that he plans to decertify Iranian compliance with JCPOA, then asked his cabinet to prepare the grounds for it. Perhaps that is why a number of US Senate Democrats have demanded that the Trump administration provide the Congress with documents which show Iran\u2019s non-compliance with JCPOA.<br \/>\nTo sum up, Trump\u2019s possible refusal to certify JCPOA on October 15 is facing both domestic and international disagreements. Nonetheless, Iran needs to have plans for all potential scenarios. Given Trump\u2019s character, it is not clear whether he will stick to his words or break them.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Shargh&#8221; daily on September 27, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Day after Iraqi Kurdistan\u2019s referendum<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nShargh daily\u2019s editorial focuses on future of Middle East after Iraqi Kurdistan\u2019s referendum for independence.<br \/>\nThe editorialist holds the issue of the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan and separation of Kurdish region from Iraq\u2019s central government goes back to years ago and it is not a recent issue. The issue goes back to the collapse of Ottoman Empire; a Sykes-and-Picot agreement which made new countries without taking into account the regional issues such as language, culture, and religion; etc.<br \/>\nThe editorial then emphasizes on consequences of the referendum\u2019s result for neighboring countries, saying that after the referendum, Kurds, as an ethnic group, will have an \u2018independent base\u2019 and all Kurds will look towards their so-called \u2018motherland\u2019. The day after the referendum and declaration of independence by Iraqi Kurds, the Middle East will be different, even on paper.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, Kurdistan\u2019s independence will create many differences and disagreements among countries of the region, but \u201cWhether we like it or not, the referendum is held and a country will be shaped in middle of mountains, without free land, air or sea borders, with governments that are going to oppose it and with enthusiastic people who have suffered for hundreds of years.\u201d<br \/>\nAt the end, the editorial highlights common denominators such as race and language among Iranians and Kurds, as well as Kurds\u2019 peaceful coexistence with other peoples of the region, hoping that independence of Kurdistan will not create differences in the region. The editorialist adds, \u201cno doubt Kurd ethnic group has suffered injustice in at least past hundred years,\u201d emphasizing that \u201cwe should start thinking about the day after the referendum because Kurds\u2019 issue cannot be addressed any longer the same as before the referendum.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Shargh&#8221; daily on September 26, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Roar of War, Sound of Peace<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis editorial compares and contrasts the UN General Assembly addresses by presidents of U.S. and Iran.<br \/>\nThe writer notes that Donald Trump, in a spiteful speech against Iran, threatened if JCPOA does not serve his country\u2019s interests, he refuses to adhere to it. Trump also threatened to \u201ctotally destroy\u201d a UN member state, namely, North Korea. U.S. President\u2019s UN address can be compared to that of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Unlike the two, President Rouhani emphasized on a moderation policy in his UN speech, saying that Iran is after a comprehensive peace and supporting nations\u2019 rights.<br \/>\nThe editorialist holds that Rouhani has had a successful record due to his efforts in changing the country\u2019s policies, hence changing the world\u2019s opinion of Iran; and offers three suggestions to keep this position. First, Iran should continue its adherence to JCPOA. Second, Iran\u2019s diplomacy in the region needs to be focused on improving relations with its neighboring countries. Third, solidarity among left and right in Iran is of primary importance when facing foreign enemies. The world should hear only one voice from Iran regarding the crisis in the region as well as global issues, concludes the editorial.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Shargh&#8221; daily on September 25, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-436\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/Prominent-News-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"43\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u2666\u00a0<\/span>Iran to build nuclear vessels <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3621\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/09\/535d04ca-d6a8-4bd9-8959-307a7cc2c6f8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1339\" height=\"766\" \/><br \/>\nRear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, the commander of strategic naval forces of Iranian Army, pointed out that with government ratification, Iranian ships can be equipped with nuclear energy, saying these issues are at research stages and are being studied at related centers.<br \/>\nAs for deploying flotillas to international waters, Sayyari said so far, Iran\u2019s 49th flotilla is navigating in the Gulf of Aden, adding that 7 flotillas of \u2018peace and friendship\u2019 were deployed to the Caspian Sea.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Arman Emrooz<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u2666\u00a0<\/span>3 million families under poverty line<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3619\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/09\/\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u064a\u0631\u0627\u0646.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"825\" \/><br \/>\nDeputy to urban housing affairs of the Iranian Revolution Housing Foundation stressed that the condition of housing in Iran still needs the serious assistance of all organizations, adding that 19 million people are suffering from the poor housing in the country.
