1- Iranian conservatives -specially Majlis- welcome resumption of diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.

Keyhan declares the deal has angered pro-West reformist factions (without providing evidence). It says both Tehran and Riyadh made concessions.
2- IRNA quotes Iran’s diplomatic mission to UN as admitting that Tehran has finalized purchase of Sukhoi fighter jets from #Russia. The mission says Iran’s intention to buy Russian jets dates back to late 1980s, reiterates 🇷🇺-🇮🇷 military cooperation not related to Ukraine war.
3- ⬆️ Despite the statement by Iran’s UN mission, some words suggest #Iran already received the Sukhoi-35s from Russia, AND Iranian pilots had training sessions during flight missions with Russian aircraft in #Syria.

**Those reports NOT VERIFIED**
4- ISNA reports Iraq has released $800 million of Iranian frozen assets in past 2 months and continues. A member of Iran-Iraq chamber of commerce claims the US allowed Iraq to unfreeze $500m more. He says Iraqis put Iran’s frozen assets at $18B but CBI says it us 10B.
5- ⬆️ let’s not forget with #Qatar’s mediation, #Iran’s Central Bank recently held talks with the #US Treasury Department.
6- Deputy president for political affairs M. Jamshidi says restoration of ties with regional countries has been a priority for Raisi’s government. He speaks of a crisis of trust btw Tehran and Central Asia countries, that’s why Iranian diplomats first focused on that region. Image

A 🧵 on #Iran-#SaudiArabia agreement:

1- The agreement is a “security deal” and has the blessing of leaders of both 🇮🇷and 🇸🇦: SL Ali Khamenei and King Salman (or MBS).

Iranian media describe Ali Shamkhani first as “Khamenei’s representative” then “SNSC Secretary” Image
2- The fact that Iranian and Saudi national security advisors -not diplomats- clinched the deal after 5-day intense talks shows they had to settle out persistent disputes. They made the ground and relayed the torch to diplomats to meet, introduce ambassadors & reopen embassies.
3- The trilateral #Iran-#SaudiArabia, #China statement insists on “the two countries’ respect for each other’s sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs of each other”. It mentions a 2001 security deal & a 1998 agreement as the basis for cooperation. Image

Iranian diaspora opposition is furious with #Switzerland ambassador to #Iran.
Nadine Olivieri Lozano wore a chador (black veil covering head to toe) while visiting the Shrine of Sayyida Ma’asuma in #Qom. It’s a norm to wear a chador when visiting shrines in #Iran & #Iraq. ImageImageImageImage
Wearing a chador is exactly what the UN special Representative for Iraq does. Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert wears a black veil each time and every time she meets with Grand Ayatollah Sistani in Najaf or when she visited the Imam Hussein Shrine in Karbala. ImageImageImageImage
The Iranian opposition can’t tolerate seeing a women wearing chador inside a holy shrine, (as it is required) , I wonder how come they want to bring freedom to all women of Iran, religious or non-religious??
