Iraq takes delivery of Czech armour

The Czech defence company Excalibur Army delivered an unspecified number of refurbished T-72 main battle tanks (MBTs) and BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) to Iraq on 5 February.

"We do not wish to disclose the exact number of vehicles that were handed over to the customer yesterday, nor intend to disclose the overall number of either BVP-1 vehicles or T-72 tanks," Excalibur spokesperson Andrej Cirtek told IHS Jane's . "What I can say is that the contract calls for the delivery of over 100 refurbished vehicles over a period of several years."

The BVP-1 is the version of the BMP-1 that was built in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War.

Cirtek added that Excalibur and the Iraqi defence ministry have agreed not to disclose the value of the contract saying only that it was worth several hundred million Czech crowns.

Apart from supplying the vehicles, Excalibur Army will also deliver complete sets of spare parts for each vehicle.

The Iraqi Ministry of Defence had been negotiating with several potential suppliers from Ukraine, Russia, and elsewhere in Europe.

Excalibur CEO Jaroslav Strnad told media his company was selected by the Iraqi defence ministry over other potential suppliers because of the right balance between price, in-house know-how, and the ability to deliver the vehicles in a timely manner.

Excalibur also began delivering refurbished BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and T-72 MBTs to the government of Nigeria beginning in late January. Similar to Iraq, Nigeria intends to use the armoured vehicles to combat Islamist insurgents active on its territory.

Iraq Praises Iran's Help in Fight Against ISIS

Iraq's Defence Minister Khaled al-Obeidi (R) speaks during a news conference with U.S. Army General Martin Dempsey in Baghdad March 9, 2015. Dempsey, the top U.S. military officer, said on Monday that Islamic State would be defeated, as he visited Baghdad during an offensive against the radical insurgents which has seen Washington's military role overshadowed by Iran.

Iraq’s minister of defense on Monday praised Iran’s contributions in the battle against the Islamic State (ISIS), according to the Associated Press. Iran’s role has been “very positive,” Minister Khalid al-Obeidi said at a news conference in Baghdad.

Although Iran and the United States have been at odds, al-Obeidi said the dueling nations’ influence in Iraq’s fight against ISIS has been “balanced.”

“The situation is acceptable to us,” al-Obeidi told reporters. “We are in a state of war.” His comments were translated by an interpreter, the AP noted.

The AP estimates ISIS controls a third of Iraq and Syria, posing a major challenge to the Iraqi forces they are combating. Recently, ISIS fighters attempted an attack on the Anbar Air Base in Iraq. The base is home to more than 300 U.S. Marines and is used to train Iraqi fighters. The fighters were able to repel the attack and a handful of terrorists were killed in the process.

U.S. General Martin Dempsey also attended the conference, and discussed the care with which the airstrikes are planned in an effort to avoid civilian deaths. The U.S. has led a number of airstrikes against the Islamic State; the exact number of terrorists and civilians the strikes have killed hasn’t been released.

to be honest, I couldn't be more happy.
in Parliament he loudly supports the 2009 rebels which have done similar things but much more worse and he says it was a misunderstanding, now he enjoys the taste of the Ideology which he advertises.

Ali yonesi is actually not that bad if he truly means what he said. Iranians will never accept 1400 year old ISIS traditions and thugs who kill journalists, students and factory workers. It doesn't fit Iran and Iranian culture/wisdom. This is a reality and a cultural change which is taking place and it will be felt in all layers of Iranian society.

Also his comments about Iraq were totally changed in media to make it like Iran wants to annex Iraq.

An adviser to the Iranian president has admitted that human rights violations are being committed in the Islamic republic, blaming them on "extremist" members of the regime, newspapers reported Thursday.

Ali Younessi, a former minister of intelligence who now serves as President Hassan Rouhani's adviser on religious and ethnic minorities, said Iran "should be able to get rid" of such individuals, media said.

"Still now there are many cases of violations in the prisons, the tribunals and elsewhere, where we see the influence of extremist elements which the Islamic republic should be able to get rid of," Younessi said.

In rare comments to the official IRNA and ISNA news agencies and reproduced by the press on Thursday, Younessi goes on to say that "many extremists have infiltrated government circles".

"No one can control them and they act as they wish," he said, without identifying these individuals.

As a result, Younessi said, "Iran is held responsible" by the world community and rights groups for human rights abuse.

Iran's human rights record has constantly come under fire, particularly its use of the death penalty and the arrest of government opponents and rights activists.

Younessi cited the example of Zahra Kazemi, a Canadian-Iranian photo-journalist who died in July 2003 of a brain haemorrhage, after being beaten during detention in an Iranian prison.

Her death had soured diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Those responsible for her death have been punished but "this incident was caused by someone's own wish and the republic continues to pay the price" of such action, said Younessi.

The conservative Iranian daily Javan denounced Younessi's comments, comparing Rouhani's adviser to Ahmed Shaheed, the UN rapporteur on human rights in Iran and "anti-revolutionaries".

Last week Shaheed urged Iran to stop executions in line with its international human rights obligations, just three month after a UN resolution pointed to a "surge" in the use of the death penalty in Iran.

Rouhani, who was elected in 2013, had campaigned on a pledge to improve civil rights.

But the UN resolution adopted in November said Iran's human rights situation has worsened.
