Nevertheless, the result of the 10th JCPOA Joint Commission so much depends on Europe\u2019s stance towards JCPOA and their pressure on the U.S.<br \/>\nThe editorial goes on to say that what can guarantee the future and interests of Iran is Europe\u2019s critical stance and pressure on the U.S. Nonetheless, it is possible that some members of the nuclear deal may remain silent about the U.S. violation of JCPOA, or even take side with America. For example, the French president has taken a position in line with the White House regarding Trump\u2019s claims about Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles. Before this, the U.S., Britain, and France issued a joint statement, asserting that the issue of Iran\u2019s ballistic missile should be investigated by United Nations.<br \/>\nAt the end, the editorialist holds that if all parties in the nuclear deal act with good intentions, then obviously some of the existing problems might be expected to be resolved. But if the other parties intend to agree with the U.S. views, then the result of 10th JCPOA Joint Commission might be just a gentle recommendation to the U.S.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An Editorial in &#8220;Arman Emrouz&#8221; on December 12, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0Trap Named Giving up on Rouhani<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe editorial of Arman daily focuses on the issue of reformists and Rouhani\u2019s supporters giving up on him \u2013an issue raised particularly in recent months and after Rouhani allocated money to certain organizations and institutes in the annual budget this year.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, objections to allocating budgets to these institutes and organizations must be considered from different angles. The government naturally couldn\u2019t eliminate or decrease some institutes\u2019 budget, as in that case, the Parliament would disagree with it, thus creating new challenges for the government. The government doesn\u2019t have the power to close these institutes or deprive them of budget.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: all those who supported Rouhani in presidential election had some goals, and if they haven\u2019t achieved their goals, then they can logically raise the issue of giving up on Rouhani. Those who voted for Rouhani for his plans, the general conditions, or removing possible dangers have either achieved their objectives or not. If they have not attained their objectives, then they must give up on Rouhani.<br \/>\nThe editorial then ponders on different ways of giving up on Rouhani: some think it means personally opposing him, and some want to achieve their desirable outcome by not supporting the government, while putting it under pressure. But, the editorialist holds, what is for sure is that those who now bring up the issue of giving up on Rouhani will regret it later, after seeing that nothing changes by giving up on the president.<br \/>\nAt the end, the editorial considers the possibility that some people outside the reformists\u2019 circle raise such issues to make the reformists lose hope, believing that this hopelessness will result in people not participating in future elections. However, it must be known that if a populist, like former president Ahmadinejad, takes office after Rouhani, it will have disastrous consequences for the country.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An Editorial in Arman Emrouz on December 12, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0Necessity of Developing Iran-Britain Relations<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe editorial of Arman Emrouz focuses on reasons why Iran must continue its dialogue with Britain for both political and economic reasons.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, if Iran is after developing economic relations with Europe including Britain, and if Iran wants Britain to emphasize on implementing the nuclear deal (JCPOA) amidst existing tensions between Iran and the U.S., then it must continue its dialogue with Britain. Iran\u2019s decision-makers in foreign relations, as well as Iranian president himself, must think about how to resolve some of the existing issues between the two countries.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: it is only after solving such issues that Britain can be expected to help Iran economically, boost Iran\u2019s position against the U.S., and help lifting banking sanctions against Iran. Lifting these sanctions is so vital for Iran\u2019s economy because if a country signs any kinds of economic contracts with Iran and intends to invest in the country, there are no banks in Europe and the U.S. to transfer investments into Iran.<br \/>\nThe editorial then points out to Britain\u2019s special place in international relations. This country is still an influential member of EU, and is also one of the parties in the nuclear deal with Iran. What is more, Britain can soften recent stances of French president against Iran.<br \/>\nAt the end, the editorialist asserts that Britain most certainly has the power to influence U.S. sanctions over Iran\u2019s banking issues, but such a measure depends on how Iran and Britain can have common achievements in negotiations. The decision is up to Iranian officials. They are the ones who should decide about political and economic relations between Iran and Britain.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An Editorial in &#8220;Arman Emrouz&#8221; on December 11, 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><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u2666<\/span> Altercation between Ahwaz\u2019s MPs with head of Environment Organization<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-4083\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/13_Karun-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1417\" height=\"1071\" \/><br \/>\nThere was an altercation between Ahwaz\u2019s MPs and Issa Kalantari, head of Environment Organization, in objection to his confidential letter to Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri for transferring water of Karun River from this province.
