The World Economic Forum will open in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, January 30, with two senior Iranian officials in attendance. The Iranian government's news website reported on Tuesday evening that Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister, along with Mohammad Nahavandian, the head of the Iranian President's office, have left Tehran for Davos. According to the World Economic Forum's website, Zarif and Nahavandian will speak on Wednesday at a session titled 'Next Steps for Iran and the World,' which refers to the lifting of global sanctions against Iran following the nuclear agreement between Tehran and six major powers. Following this, Zarif will attend a press conference focused on the same topic of sanctions relief and regional developments. Other session titles at this year's World Economic Forum indicate that recent global crises such as the influx of refugees into Europe and the bloody attacks in Paris, Beirut, and Ankara are also central to the organizers' concerns. Another issue is the slowdown in economic growth in China, which the World Economic Forum is focusing on, and finally, climate change and the environmental challenges it poses are other topics that the Davos meeting will address. Meanwhile, AFP reports that Leonardo DiCaprio, a prominent Hollywood figure who has long been active in environmental issues, delivered a speech in Davos on Tuesday. In part of his speech, he stated, 'Our planet cannot be saved unless we allow fossil fuels to remain in the ground, where they belong. Twenty years ago, we viewed this problem as an addiction to fossil fuels. Today, we have the tools to end this addiction.' At the recent climate change summit held in Paris, world leaders reached a historic agreement to save the planet, which included agreements on reducing greenhouse gases and using fossil fuels. In this context, has the migration crisis endangered Europe's future? World leaders in Paris; efforts to reach an agreement to 'save the planet.' The Paris meeting; Obama's emphasis on the necessity of combating global warming. Iran in the global scene of 'competitiveness.' Changing the game for 'proxies'; war against the people in the streets of Iran. The first paragraph; the responsibility of the opposition and the possibility of radicalizing Iranian society. The death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iran crisis. Trump: I hope there is no need for further action regarding Iran; they were killing people indiscriminately. The shadow of war over Tehran; 'Trump is seeking decisive military options against Iran.' Trump says if the Islamic Republic attempts to assassinate him, 'it will be wiped off the face of the earth.' Trump emphasizes 'stopping executions in Iran': we do not know what will happen in the future. A senior American official: the Trump administration is closely monitoring the case of Reza Valizadeh.
