Iran revealed today, Saturday, a new missile system, which it described as advanced and unique.

While the head of the International Atomic Agency is expected to arrive in Tehran at a later time, the Iranian government expects the US sanctions to be lifted "soon."

The Iranian army unveiled the "Bahman" radar system, which was described as unique, in addition to an autonomous command headquarters, according to the Iranian Fars News Agency.

The commander of the army's anti-air force, Ali Reza Sabahi Fard, said that the "Bahman" radar system is unique and has no parallel in the world.

"One of the features of this system is to work during idle, and its ability to detect all aircraft and flying objects flying at very low altitudes, such as marches, as well as very small flying objects," he added.

He also said, "We can use this system in a functional way starting today."

He explained that the self-moving headquarters can be used in all military confrontations, as well as during the occurrence of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, "as it can accomplish its tasks independently."

US sanctions

In the context of the nuclear program, a spokesman for the Iranian government said today that they are sure that the US sanctions will soon be lifted despite the continuing "diplomatic row" over reviving the nuclear deal.

Iran and the United States are at odds over who should take the first step to revive the 2015 deal.

Tehran insists that the United States must first lift sanctions imposed by former President Donald Trump, at a time when Washington says Tehran must first return to compliance with the deal.

The White House said on Friday that the United States intends not to take any additional measures in response to Iran's pressure, ahead of possible talks with it and with major powers about returning to the agreement.

However, the Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency today quoted government spokesman Ali Rabiei as saying, "We are confident that the diplomatic initiatives will yield a positive result despite the diplomatic quarrels that are a natural prelude to the parties' return to their obligations, including lifting all sanctions in the near future."

Grossi to Tehran

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, is scheduled to arrive in Tehran later today, on the eve of the expiration of a deadline set by Iran to reduce the work of inspectors in the event that Washington does not lift the sanctions imposed on it.

Earlier, Grossi said, "Tomorrow I will travel to Tehran to meet with senior officials in order to reach a mutually acceptable solution, consistent with Iranian law, so that the agency can continue its basic verification activities in Iran."

He added, via Twitter, "I look forward to (achieving) success, this is in everyone's interest."

For his part, the head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, confirmed that the new step would take effect on Tuesday.

The official television website quoted him as saying that Iran was implementing the parliament’s decision, and "the other party has not yet fulfilled its duties to lift the sanctions, so inspections that go beyond (agreement) guarantees will be suspended."

Salehi added, "During tomorrow's meeting with Grossi, the IAEA's considerations will be reviewed and discussed within the framework of the safeguards and bilateral cooperation agreement" between it and Tehran.

It is noteworthy that the nuclear agreement concluded in 2015 aims mainly to lift many of the sanctions imposed on Iran, in exchange for reducing its nuclear activities and ensuring that it does not seek to develop a nuclear weapon.

But the former US president withdrew from the agreement and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran, which in turn responded by disavowing some of the obligations that the agreement entails.

American messages

The administration of US President Joe Biden expressed its willingness to participate in talks sponsored by the European Union, and with the participation of all parties to the nuclear agreement, to discuss possible ways to revive it.

On Friday, Biden told the Munich Security Conference that his country would cooperate with its allies in ways to deal diplomatically with Iran, after his predecessor Trump adopted a "hostile" policy toward Tehran that was mainly based on "maximum pressure."

Biden said, "The threat of nuclear proliferation still requires careful diplomacy and cooperation between us."

"That is why we said that we are ready to re-engage in negotiations with the" 5 + 1 "group on Iran's nuclear program," he added, "referring to the permanent five members of the Security Council and Germany.

"We must also address Iran's destabilizing activities throughout the Middle East, and we will work in close cooperation with our European partners and others, and move forward," he said.

Dimona ... Western silence

In a related context, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Israel is moving to develop the Dimona nuclear site, criticizing the absence of Western officials' response to it.

Zarif wrote in a tweet on Twitter today, "Israel is working to develop the Dimona site, the only nuclear bomb factory in the region."

Following this message, Zarif sent notifications to the Twitter accounts of the US President, the International Atomic Energy Agency, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, asking them to comment on the matter.

Addressing these leaders, Zarif added, "Are you deeply concerned? Are you a little worried? Do you want to comment? This is what I thought!"

In reference to the leaders' silence about Israel's expansion of its nuclear powerhouse.

The International Committee of Fissile Material Group released satellite images showing that Israel has developed the NCO Center for Nuclear Research (the nuclear power plant in Dimona).

According to this report, new construction works have been carried out near the nuclear power plant in Dimona and the nuclear recycling station. A place of 140 meters in area and 50 meters in width has been excavated, and the nature of these constructions is still unknown.
