Leading articles
JAVAN newspaper quotes the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) director Abolhasan Faqih as saying that the body under his leadership is not well-prepared to manage the situation lonely if an earthquake happens in Tehran. The IRCS director also said rescue workers were able to set the record of dispatching rescue team to the scene of incident at 10 minutes in the last year. However, he said based on global standards rescue workers must reach the scene of incident in 8 minutes. He said the IRCS is only 80 percent ready in case of earthquake in cities other than Tehran. Faqih also added if a building falls down in Tehran, it will take several days to clear the rubble.
In an opinion column TEHRAN-E EMROOZ says the Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi’s trips to Arab kingdoms of Oman, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar in recent days marked a far-sighted diplomatic maneuver by Tehran at this sensitive juncture. In his trips Salehi once again reiterated Iran’s respect to Bahrain’s territorial integrity and its unequivocal position that foreign interference will only aggravate the crisis in Bahrain. The writer says trips also show that while Iran disapproves of certain policies by regional countries it still seeks negotiation with them. The visits also send the message that Tehran will not sacrifice its ties with Qatar, the UAE, and Oman for competition with Saudi Arabia. Moreover, they send a message to Riyadh that dialogue can be more influential than sulking. At the end the writer says Salehi’s trips to the Persian Gulf states must prepare the ground for trips to other regional countries with the aim to strengthen diplomatic contacts to prevent possible misunderstandings
