Our response to the aggression of the Zionist regime will be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner

In response to a question about Iran’s response to the aggression of the Zionist regime, Araghchi stated that “Iran has proven its strategy very clearly to the Zionist regime and anyone else who looks at Iran with greedy eyes” and stressed: We will not allow it. we will not allow any aggression against our land to go unanswered. We have proven this in practice with the operation of the operation True Promise 1 and 2.

We will never respond to the language and politics of pressure

He said about how to adjust the calculations of America: We will never respond to the language and politics of pressure, we have proven this in practice. Every time they have adopted a policy of maximum pressure, we have also adopted a policy of maximum resistance.

Stating that “we have defeated the policy of maximum pressure by their own admission”, the foreign minister of Iran said: We advise them to use maximum rationality instead of maximum pressure. In this case, they will probably get a different answer.

In this press conference, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran also said in response to a Syrian journalist’s question about the joint and collective efforts of Islamic countries to stop the Zionist regime’s crimes against Syria, Lebanon, etc.: Iran’s political efforts to counter the attacks The Zionist regime and stopping these crimes in the region has been a comprehensive effort, and we have pursued this issue in the form of bilateral consultations as well as regional consultations, and we have coordinated with the Syrian government in this regard.

Araghchi added: It is very important to create a united voice in the Islamic and Arab world in this regard, it is very important to increase the pressure on the Zionist regime, and we believe that the pressure was effective to a large extent, but it was not enough to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime.

Hezbollah has reorganized its capabilities

This high-ranking diplomat of the Islamic Republic of Iran also stated that it is really regrettable that the United Nations Security Council could not fulfill its duty of establishing peace because the United States prevented this issue and said: We present our positions from international platforms and we emphasize on stopping the crimes, but what is decisive is the field and the resistance, the resistance is ongoing, Hezbollah has reorganized its capabilities and grounded the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon.

The secret of victory is definitely resistance

Araghchi added: The secret of victory is definitely resistance, and of course our political efforts to create a voice and a united policy to stop these crimes and the isolation of the Zionist regime will continue, and as I mentioned, we are in constant coordination with Syria in this regard.

If we have a look back at the number of disgraces specially political ones, we need considerable time to count the disgraces but in recent decades, several disgraces under the title of “Gate” like “the Watergate” have happened in the U.S. and now another disgrace under the name of the “Garbagegate” has emerged and it is a new headache for U.S. President Joe Biden who is amid this disgrace.

Since some classified files have been found in the garbage of Biden’s house, the disgrace is known by the media outlets as the Garagegate.

Since the failure of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election and victory of Biden in the election and invasion of Trump’s fans at the Capitol Hill, the Democrats in the U.S. have been trying to resort to any move to put an end to Trump’s political career and everyday pro-Democrat media publish some accusations against Trump and they have been busy with increasing pressure on Trump for taking some confidential papers and files illegally from the White House to his residence and now a twist is happening because such a disgrace has re-emerged in Washington and this time Biden is in trouble and it is the Republicans’ turn to  increase pressure on Biden at the time that the majority of the Congress is in hands of the Republicans and they now have this chance to take revenge on the Democrats and change the game.

Now Biden is in trouble and another disgrace is looming on this country which usually asks other nations to respect the laws and rules while their statesmen themselves ignore the recommendation.

Now Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives launched an investigation on Friday into the Justice Department’s handling of improperly stored classified documents possessed by President Biden, and questioned whether his son, Hunter, had access to any.

In a Jan. 13 letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, top Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee said the Justice Department’s appointment of Robert Hur as special counsel for the case this week raised “fundamental oversight questions.” They demanded all relevant documents and communications between the department, the FBI, the White House and Biden’s attorneys.

The letter came a day after Biden’s legal team acknowledged it had found classified documents relating to his time as vice president in the Obama administration at his Delaware home, including some in his garage. Aides previously found another batch of classified documents at his residence, and at a Washington think tank he was associated with.

Earlier on Friday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote to the White House asking whether Hunter Biden had access to classified documents found at the president’s private residence.

“It is unclear when the department first came to learn about the existence of these documents, and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections,” House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and fellow panel Republican Mike Johnson told Garland in their letter.

“We expect your complete cooperation with our inquiry,” they wrote, setting a Jan. 27 deadline for compliance.

White House and Justice Department officials were not immediately available for comment.

The two Republican probes present a distraction for the Democratic president, who has criticized his Republican predecessor Donald Trump’s handling of classified material, and could cast a shadow over Biden as both he and Trump gear up for a possible 2024 election rematch.

It also provides fodder for House Republicans, who have pledged to focus their new majority on a number of investigations into the Biden administration.

In addition to examining Biden’s handling of classified documents, Republicans are preparing to probe Hunter Biden’s past business dealings in Ukraine.

In Comer’s letter to the White House, House Oversight Committee chairman said the home where the documents were found was listed as Hunter Biden’s address on his driver’s license as recently as 2018.

“The Committee is concerned President Biden stored classified documents at the same location his son resided while engaging in international business deals with adversaries of the United States,” the letter read.

Republicans have sought to compare the investigation of Biden’s handling of classified documents to the ongoing probe into how Trump handled classified documents after his presidency.

But their cases are not the same, legal experts say.

The White House said Biden’s attorneys found a small number of classified documents and turned them over after discovery. Trump resisted doing so until an August FBI search turned up about 100 classified documents, raising questions about whether Trump or his staff obstructed the investigation.

So people in the world are gradually realizing that the U.S. as the so-called big power is not a dream land for those who seek respecting laws and human principles, as the Republican and Democrat statesmen are ready to resort to any violation of law for keeping their seats and American officials are better to solve their own problems rather than justifying any disgrace in their countries and they are also recommended to forget meddling in the other nations’ affairs because they have lots of domestic problems that one is unable to enumerate them.

The lawmakers stated that in a situation that the country was under the pressure of the sanctions and the European countries refused to issue permission of exporting even face masks to Iran and the people were coping with preparing medical items, the Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order Headquarters played the best role.

The headquarter in the very first days of the coronavirus outbreak started to produce face masks, disinfectants, sanctioned medical drugs, medical equipment, and immediate diagnosis kits, turning the threat into an opportunity, the statement added.

The statement highlighted the amazing success of the Iranian young expert to achieve the first vaccine for COVID-19 in the of Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order Headquarters, which gained the WHO’s license for the human test.

The Iranian parliamentarians attributed the success in the production of the national vaccine to the jihadi and revolutionary management as well as belief in domestic power and young human resource.

“Given the foreign companies’ lack of documented scientific evidence and production infrastructures and also the impossibility of the examination of the American, British, and French vaccine, on the one hand, and given the existing evidence for the global side-effects and deaths due to the injection of the very vaccines, on the other, Majlis bans the import of the vaccines produced by the American, British, and French companies to prevent risking the compatriots’ health and considered the notes made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution as the final word,” the Iranian lawmakers stressed.

Meanwhile speaking in the northern Mazandaran Province, Health Minister Saeed Namaki also provided scientific reasoning for the rejection of the Western vaccines.

He said the Western vaccines had been produced “based on the mRNA method.” Inside the US itself, he added, some articles had been published showing how the approach could manipulate the recipients’ immune system and afflict them with autoimmune diseases.

“Even in the U.S. and Europe, many people avoid the vaccines because of these speculations,” he said.

Namaki also recalled how the same Western countries had been preventing and severely complicating Iran’s access to medicine in compliance with the U.S. sanctions.
