JCPOA revival talks
Iran’s president has taken a jab at the administration of US President Joe Biden for sticking to the failed policies of its predecessor against the Islamic Republic. Ebrahim Raeisi noted that this approach is the main obstacle to achieving acceptable progress toward reviving the 2015 deal known as the JCPOA. Raeisi made the comments in a phone call with the Japanese prime minister. Fumio Kishida, for his part, expressed his country’s support for restoring the accord. Iran and the remaining signatories to the JCPOA resumed talks in the Austrian capital on Tuesday. Iran wants the removal of sanctions that the US imposed following its unilateral withdrawal from the deal in 2018. Tehran also seeks guarantees that Washington won’t leave the deal again.
Iran-Malaysia relations
Iran and Malaysia can strengthen economic ties despite US sanctions. That’s according to Malaysia’s Plantation Industries and Commodities minister Zuraida Kamaruddin. In an exclusive interview with Press TV, Kamaruddin says the two countries can use barter for their trade transactions as a way to get around the US sanctions. She says Tehran and Kuala Lumpur are discussing the possibility of using local currencies, which could greatly boost the volume of bilateral trade. The Malaysian minister believes Iran has the potential to become a hub for the export of Malaysian commodities, particularly palm oil to Central Asia.
Canada trucker protests
Protests in the Canadian capital Ottawa against Covid-19 restrictions drag for almost two weeks as authorities warn of economic damage to the country. The protesters, opposing a vaccine or quarantine mandate for cross-border truckers, have also blocked two main crossings to the United States. A key link used to move goods between the two neighbors known as the Ambassador Bridge, has been shut since Monday night. Another border crossing in Alberta has also been closed since Tuesday night. Police have threatened to arrest protesters blocking Ottawa streets. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the blockades unacceptable and a threat to the economy. The White House has also warned that the protest action risks hurting the auto industry.
