Iran Bandar e Khamir

The mayor said for the first time, Bandar e Khamir, along with the city of Varzaneh, next to Gavkhouni Lagoon, has been registered as wetland cities.

Mahmoudi added that the people of Bandar e Khamir made efforts for many years to win this title and now they have made it.

He added that Bandar e Khamir was already in the focus of national and international attention due to its people’s involvement in social activities, particularly their efforts to preserve Khur Khuran wetland.

Mahmoudi noted that Bandar e Khamir succeeded in getting itself registered as the first Iranian wetland city and also win the membership of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities.

A certificate and award to this effect will be bestowed on Bandar e Khamir’s mayor in Wuhan, China in late summer

Iran and Venezuela Presidents Raisi & Maduro

In an interview with Iranian Students News Agency, ISNA, Elaheh Nouri noted that Venezuela sits on nearly 8 percent of the world’s oil reserves and for this reason, this issue is the most important aspect of deal.

Nouri also said expanding ties with Venezuela at this time of Western sanctions will naturally alleviate the pain inflicted by the bans.

The Iranian expert added that the US has always feared close ties between Iran and Venezuela and that US media launch a propaganda campaign whenever Tehran and Caracas show signs of expanding their relations.

Nouri also said such partnership deals as the one with Venezuela produce results in the long term.

Meanwhile, Hadi Aalami, another Iranian expert on Latin American affairs, has dismissed the notion.

Aalami told Iranian Diplomacy that strategic partnership treaties with countries like Russia and China under sanctions will not pay tangible results, let alone a country like Venezuela.

But Elaheh Nouri believes Iran and Venezuela are both important and decisive players in the global oil market.

She says cooperation between the two countries is an important move which cannot be ignored.

Iranian pilgrims Hajj
The first group of Iranian Hajj pilgrims heads to Saudi Arabia to perform the Islamic rituals.

This forced Iranian pilgrims who are heading to Saudi Arabia for Hajj these days to get jabs approved by the Saudis.

The vaccines approved by Saudi Arabia are Sinopharm, Sputnik and Astrazenca which have been widely used in Iran during the inoculation process.

After Riyadh announced this list, Iranian officials urged the kingdom to reconsider its decision and accept Iranian-made Barakat jab, which has been used by many in Iran. But Saudi Arabia did not change its mind.

The Saudis have said all pilgrims must be double-vaxxed. But Iranian Hajj officials have called on all pilgrims to get three doses in case the Saudis change their decision again.

Many of the Hajj pilgrims from Iran are triple-vaxxed, and those who got Barakat jabs are now trying to complete their vaccination.

All pilgrims are required to have their negative PCR test result and vaccination cards 72 hours before flying to Saudi Arabia.

40,000 Iranians will perform Hajj this year.

Vienna Talks

Mahmoud Ahmadibighash said people should not pin their hopes on the negotiations by some officials.

As to the reason why the talks will produce no results, Ahmadibighash said that’s because neither Iran nor the West is willing to give up its principles.

The MP said it’s true that the anti-Iran sanctions harm the public but a group of people benefit from the bans. Ahmadibighash also spoke about the recent IAEA resolution against Iran.

He said such resolutions have been issued in the past and will be passed in the future as well, what matters is that the Iranian people should rely on themselves.

Ahmadibighash urged Iranians to not pin their hopes on the West. He however concurred with former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s famous remark that “sanctions are no more than a torn piece of paper.”

Ahmadibighash said were this not the case, how come life has been going on in Iran for 43 years.

The MP also referred to the job performance of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

Ahmadibighash hailed Raisi as a pious and hardworking person but noted that the president’s team is weak.

President Joe Biden

Hossein Askari, professor of political science at George Washington University and a former advisor to the ex-Saudi king, in an interview with Iran’s Mehr News Agency on Monday, said under the current economic and political circumstances in the US, the Democrats’ chances for winning the next presidential and Congressional elections are fast plummeting.

Asakri touched on Biden’s scheduled trip to Riyadh to seek support from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to avert the current crisis, saying Riyadh alone cannot resolve the US fuel crisis by increasing its production by even one million barrels of oil per day.

He added Biden needs to be rid of the immense pressure from pro-Israeli lobbies to avoid confrontational policies with oil-rich countries like Iran and Venezuela and deal with them more realistically.

During his presidential campaign, Biden called for Riyadh to be made a “pariah” over the assassination of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and its human rights record including the arbitrary detention of political dissidents and the war on Yemen.

As shown in the video, the driver fled the scene after falling down. There is no word on what happened next.

COVID in Iran

The Health Ministry also logged 192 new infections including 32 hospitalizations.

The daily fatalities have remained single-digit despite the slow pace of Iran’s countrywide vaccination campaign.

Figures show that people are not willing to get their booster shots despite calls from officials to do so.

The number of Covid vaccine shots administered is slightly more than 150 million. Iran crossed the figure several months ago.

Authorities say despite the low number of infections and deaths, Iran is still not out of the woods and people must be cautious.

Iranian minister: West’s stance on children’s rights ‘major disgrace’

Afghan Children

Addressing the 1st National Conference for the Protection of Children and Young Adults Against Social Harms in the capital Tehran on Monday, Ahmad Vahidi said the West’s attitude towards the children of Palestine, Yemen and Afghanistan is a “major disgrace”, as it tends to ignore these nations.

Vahidi said a large majority of Afghan children in Iran were displaced after the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and the takeover of the country by the Taliban.

He, however, noted that the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has ordered that all Afghan children in Iran be permitted free schooling regardless of their residency status. The move improved the living conditions for hundreds of thousands of Afghan children in Iran.

Vahidi said the west’s conventions on children’s rights are at best “dark and repulsive” and are “void of morality, identity, and spiritual growth”.

He warned Islamic nations to be aware so the West does not impose its own agenda on them under the guise of children’s rights.
