Iran launches NAOK satellite in coming days
Tehran - Saba:
Iran's Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Sattar Hashemi, announced the launch of the Naok satellite in the coming days during a meeting of the Ministry of Telecommunications' Board of Assistants.
He also reviewed the ministry's various work priorities, including the development of the fifth generation (5G) telecommunications network.
According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Minister Hashemi explained that the launch of the communication satellite "Naok" in the coming days is part of the development of the country's space industry achievements.
"This 40-kilogram micro-class satellite, a product of the efforts of the Iranian Space Research Institute, will be launched into space using the upgraded Simorgh space rocket," he said.
"The launch of NAOK is a major step in reaching GEO orbit and enhancing the country's communication capabilities."
He stressed the need to allocate the 1500 MHz band for the development of the fiber optic network. "In this period, the focus is on developing the fiber optic network with the priority of connectivity rather than coverage, which requires more cooperation from municipalities across the country," he said.

Iranian FM Praises Results of Fourth Round of Negotiations with Washington
Muscat - (Saba): Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday that the fourth round of indirect negotiations with the United States was more serious and frank than the previous three rounds. According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Araqchi explained after the conclusion of the round of negotiations in Muscat: "We moved away from the general frameworks a little and delved into the details, which makes the negotiating atmosphere more difficult under such circumstances." He added: The next round of negotiations is likely to be held in about a week, with the possibility of a one-day delay or advance, and the timing will be determined by the Sultanate of Oman. The Iranian Foreign Minister said that the uranium enrichment issue is "non-negotiable in any way," stressing that "this activity must continue." He added: "Some temporary restrictions on certain aspects of enrichment, such as quantity, level, or capacity, may be accepted for the purpose of building confidence and for a specific period of time, as has been done in the past, but the basic principle of enrichment is not up for negotiation." He pointed out that "on contentious issues, the two sides are now closer to each other, and a better understanding of each other's positions has been achieved."

Iranian 1st vice-president: No hope held on talks to solve problems
Tehran - Saba: Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref confirmed that the current Iranian government did not pin its hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems. Iran's Tasnim News Agency quoted Aref as saying on Tuesday: "We did not pin our hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems. Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward." Aref emphasized that the current Iranian government has decided not to link unrelated issues and to adopt a position of equal engagement with all countries, with the exception of the Zionist entity. He added, "We are qualified for negotiations and dialogue, but only under appropriate and balanced circumstances." Aref continued, "Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward. In fact, there are very significant potentials in all areas of the country that we have not sufficiently exploited. There are several reasons for this; one of them is the short-term perspective that officials often adopt, as they seek to achieve results during their term and neglect long-term work." The current Iranian government's approach is to put citizens at the center of business, he added. "Therefore, we have not pinned our hopes not only on these negotiations, but also on any special relationship with any country, even though we deal with all countries that desire a relationship with us, based on our priorities, such as neighboring countries, African countries, and major powers with a successful economic presence and experience in the ancient continent (Asia)." Arif emphasized that Iran's position is the same as that affirmed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran today, and fortunately, there is an indirect negotiation process with America. He expressed his hope that these negotiations will ultimately achieve what is in the interest of the Iranian regime and the well-being of the country and its people.
