Cleric Underlines Significance of Irans Naval Presence in High Seas
TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehrans provisional Friday Prayers Leader Hojjatoleslam Kazzem Sediqi stressed the importance of the Iranian Navys presence in international waters for the countrys security.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of people on Tehran University campus today, Sediqi said that such naval presence will repel dangers.
Though free international waters are general, presence of foreign naval fleets may raise dangers for the country; so, presence of domestic naval fleets will repel the dangers he stressed.
Last week, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined the peaceful nature of Iran\'s presence in the high seas, but meantime said the growing might and power of the Iranian Navy, displayed through its presence in international waters, has worried the enemies of the country.
Addressing high-ranking officials of the Iranian Armed Forces in Southern Iran on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to Iran\'s naval presence in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, Suez Canal and Bab al-Mandeb, and stated, \"This presence has made enemies nervous and worried.\"
\"The strong presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran\'s Navy in the high seas is promising and inspiring for nations,\" the Leader continued.
Iran has remarkably boosted its naval power in recent years. Early in July, Iran\'s Yunes submarine, sailing alongside warships of the 14th fleet of the Iranian Navy, returned home from an almost two-month-long mission in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The deployment of Iranian military submarine in the Red Sea was the first such operation by the country\'s navy in far-off waters.
Iran has also deployed warships in the Red Sea to combat Somali pirates.
The Iranian Navy has been conducting anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden since November 2008, when Somali raiders hijacked the Iranian-chartered cargo ship, MV Delight, off the coast of Yemen.
Iran\'s naval power has even been acknowledged by foes. In a Sep. 11, 2008 report, the Washington Institute for the Near East Policy said that in the two decades since the Iraqi imposed war on Iran, the Islamic Republic has excelled in naval capabilities and is able to wage unique asymmetric warfare against larger naval forces.
According to the report, Iran\'s Navy has been transformed into a highly motivated, well-equipped, and well-financed force and is effectively in control of the world\'s oil lifeline, the Strait of Hormuz.

[28 May 13] Afghans say US presence blamed for insecurity - English

In May 2012, Obama and Karzai signed a security pact that authorized the presence of US troops for a period of 10 years after 2014, which was the original date agreed earlier for the departure of all foreign combat troops from Afghanistan.
Washington is also after signing a security deal with Kabul that will give foreign forces in Afghanistan immunity from prosecution among other terms. Meanwhile, on May 9 this year, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Washington had demanded to keep several military bases across Afghanistan.
The pretext of the US and its allies for their presence in Afghanistan is to establish security in the region. But now after more than a decade of US invasion, Afghans still say the foreign presence has led to more insecurity in the region.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says it will not allow the presence of an international force in a future Palestinian state.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri has said in a statement that the presence of an international force under a peace deal with Israel would be no different from the Israeli occupation. He urged the United States to revise its position since Hamas won\'t allow anyone to undermine its rights. Abu Zuhri also called for a united front of factions to reject the so-called peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and their outcome. He further said that the Kerry plan was put together by Americans and the Zionist entity to eradicate the Palestinian cause. Earlier, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh slammed the talks, saying the resistance movement would not be bound by any deal with Israel.

Afghan tribal elders have convened in the capital Kabul to debate the fate of the US forces in the war-torn country beyond 2014.
The participants in the gathering known as Loya Jirga are discussing the draft of a long-awaited bilateral security deal between Kabul and Washington. The draft agreed on Wednesday appears to meet US demands on some thorny issues. Among them are US troops\' unilateral operations, their authority to enter Afghan homes and immunity from prosecution. In his opening speech at the meeting, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said 15000 foreign forces would remain in Afghanistan if the deal is inked. The presence of US-led forces in Afghanistan has generated deep anti-US sentiments among Afghans who accuse Washington of violating their country\'s sovereignty and killing civilians.
