A |     Israel is the “main source” of instability and a driver of terrorism in the Middle East, and the “full support” that Washington continues to provide to Tel Aviv belies US claims of seeking peace for the region, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has said.,“The Zionist regime is the main source of instability and a major driver of the spread of organized terrorism in the region. The full support of America for the regime is the compelling reason that invalidates the US government’s claims of pacifism,” Kanaani said, responding to an opinion piece penned by Joe Biden in the Washington Post over the weekend in which the US president touted his administration’s efforts to foster regional peace.,Iran Says Biden's Sanctions Policy Contradicts Stated Goal of Rescuing Nuclear DealYesterday, 12:50 GMT,Kanaani suggested that a stable Middle East will only be achieved “if the United States ends its divisive policies among the regional countries, stops the flow of weapons to the region, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries, abandons the policy of unconditional support for the Zionist regime, and ends the policy of Iranophobia.”,Accusing the Biden administration of following his predecessor’s “failed maximum pressure policy,” the spokesperson also dismissed Biden’s comments about the US’s role in fighting regional terrorism, pointing to Washington’s January 2020 assassination of anti-terror commander Qasem Soleimani and the impact it had in strengthening Daesh (ISIS)*, al-Qaeda* and other terror groups.,In separate comments over the weekend, Kanaani warned the US against any plans to increase its presence in the Middle East, saying such a move could have “no other outcome but insecurity, instability and [the] spread of terrorism across the region.”,Commenting on US plans to forge a new regional air defense alliance between Israel and the Gulf oil kingdoms, Kanaani suggested that the US “comes up with such ideas without having a correct understanding of the region’s realities.”,US Reportedly Considers Lifting Ban on Sale of Offensive Arms to Saudi Arabia 11 July, 12:33 GMT,Arab NATO Doomed,The foreign ministry spokesman’s sentiments were echoed by Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament, who accused the US of serving as an “executor” of Israel’s wishes, and called such behavior a “historic and strategic mistake by the American president, which will end up being detrimental to the Biden government before anyone else.”,“All the evidence shows that [Biden’s regional trip] was arranged by the Zionists and that the American president is implementing the programs and projects of the Zionist regime, as the main enemy of the nations of the region, has designed,” Qalibaf alleged.,Separately on Monday, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy commander for political affairs Yadollah Javani expressed confidence that US efforts to create an anti-Iranian “Arab NATO” would fail.,“When the United States and the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia were at the peak of their power, the coalitions that they built to counter the Resistance Front and the Islamic Republic had no other result but failure," Javani said, citing attempts to crush the Houthis in Yemen, and the US-led proxy war in Syria, as examples.,“Despite spending trillions of dollars over these years…everyone saw they were defeated and today, the Resistance Front is more powerful than ever before,” Javani said. “Therefore, it is quite easy to predict the possible fate of the so-called Arab NATO. Compared to past coalitions, the new alliance will be even weaker and lack effectiveness in the face of the Resistance Front and the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said.,Iran and Israel cut ties in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and regularly accuse one another of being the region’s biggest supporter of terrorism, violence, and instability.,Joe Biden will arrive in Israel on Wednesday as part of a much-anticipated regional trip which will also take him to the occupied West Bank and Saudi Arabia. The four-day visit will be his first tour of the region as president.,Biden: Saudi Arabia Trip Important for Countering Russia, China & Keeping US Leadership Afloat10 July, 04:13 GMT,* Terrorist groups outlawed in Russia and many other countries.。    NAIROBI, Kenya -- Tanzania's government signed a controversial port management deal with Dubai-based DP World that had fueled protests in the African country in the past months and led to arrests of dozens of critics.The deal was signed on Sunday in the presence of Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who has recently been accused of cracking down on critics such as her predecessor, the late John Magufuli.Tanzania Ports Authority Director General Plasduce Mbossa said that DP World, based in the United Arab Emirates, will only operate four berths and not the entire port. Its performance would be reviewed every five years for a total contractual period of 30 years.The opposition and civil society have protested the government decision to have a foreign logistics company manage Tanzania’s ports. The government has said the move would increase port efficiency and grow the country’s economy.The ports agreement was approved by Tanzania’s parliament on June 10, triggering protests in which more than 22 people have been arrested so far, according to Human Rights Watch.The international rights group in August urged Tanzania to respect freedom of expression and the right to protest. Tanzania has made some reforms since the death in 2021 of autocratic President Magufuli, who cracked down on critics and introduced draconian laws.Hassan, who is serving out Magufuli’s term, has been accused of continuing his anti-democratic policies. However, she was lauded in 2022 for lifting a prohibition on four newspapers that had been banned by the former leader.。
