TEHRAN In a statement on Friday, the Taliban Ministry of Water and Energy announced that Kabul is committed to the Iran-Afghanistan Water Agreement and announced the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan is ready to implement the water rights agreement with the Iranian side.

The pronouncement of commitment to water share was made by Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid through Twitter.

The statement said that in connection with the management of the Helmand River, it will adhere to all legal, technical issues and annexes to the water treaty signed between Iran and Afghanistan in 1351.

The ministry stressed that it is ready to cooperate with friendly and neighboring country of Iran in an atmosphere of trust to implement the provisions of this permanent agreement.

On March 13, 1973, Iran and Afghanistan signed a water agreement on the Helmand River water rights.

According to the agreement, Iran must receive 820 million cubic meters of water from the Helmand River.

In his press briefing on January 31, Saeed Khatibzadeh, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, stressed that the ministry is seriously pursuing the implementation of the water rights agreement.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the governing body of Afghanistan has announced that this right is definite and they have opened the dam, but the water has not arrived. It is important to us how committed the governing body is to international and bilateral law, Khatibzadeh said in response to a question posed by the Tehran Times correspondent.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Islamic Republic of Irans peaceful nuclear activities was inked by the United Nations Security Councils five permanent (P5) members China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States plus Germany on one side and Iran on the other in Vienna, Austria, on June 14, 2015, and was adopted by the UNSC in Resolution 2231 on July 20, 2015.

But as Donald Trump took the saddle of the US presidency and rode into the Oval Office, he trampled on this international agreement, which resulted not only in the US withdrawal on May 8, 2018 but its unilateral exertion of more sanctions, which ran the implementation of the JCPOA into numerous problems.

TEHRAN Iran Between Two Revolutions by Ervand Abrahamian, an Iranian-American historian of the West Asia, has been published by the Ney publishing house in Tehran.

Originally published in 1982, the book has been rendered into Persian by Ahmad Golmohammadi and Mohammad-Ebrahim Fattahi.

Emphasizing the interaction between political organizations and social forces, Abrahamian discusses Iranian society and politics during the period between the Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1909 and the Islamic Revolution of 1977-1979.

Presented here is a study of the emergence of horizontal divisions, or socio-economic classes, in a country with strong vertical divisions based on ethnicity, religious ideology and regional particularism.

Abrahamian, who is widely regarded as one of the leading historians of modern Iran, focuses on the class and ethnic roots of the major radical movements in the modern era, particularly the Constitutional Movement of the 1900s, the communist Tudeh party of the 1940s, the nationalist struggle of the early 1950s, and the Islamic upsurgence of the 1970s.

In this examination of the social bases of Iranian politics, Abrahamian draws on archives of the British Foreign Office and India Office that have only recently been opened; newspaper, memoirs, and biographies published in Tehran between 1906 and 1980; proceedings of the Iranian Majles and Senate; interviews with retired and active politicians; and pamphlets, books and periodicals distributed by exiled groups in Europe and North America in the period between 1953 and 1980.

Abrahamian explores the impact of socio-economic change on the political structure, especially under the reigns of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah, and throws fresh light on the significance of the Tudeh party and the failures of the Shahs regime from 1953 to 1978.

Abrahamian is a distinguished professor of history at Baruch College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
