Ali Shamkhani

Shamkhani made the comment after the Taliban’s takeover of the Afghan capital Kabul.

“In December 2018, during my visit to Kabul, I had a challenging meeting with the Afghan president. Today’s painful comments by the country’s defence minister reflect the effect of 20-year occupation of Afghanistan by the US and the depth of the infiltration of the Afghan government by Washington and its influence [on Kabul],” he said in a tweet Monday.

“Just like the past 40 years, we support the people of Afghanistan and their will,” he added without elaborating.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also said in a tweet Sunday that he welcomes the establishment of the coordination council by the Taliban leaders. He said Iran will help efforts to restore peace in Afghanistan.

During the Monday meeting, Zarif elaborated on the views of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the recent developments in Afghanistan. He underlined Iran’s support for the coordination council on peaceful transition of power in Afghanistan with the aim of preventing any escalation in violence and breakout of war amid the current situation in Afghanistan.

Zarif touched on the issue of those displaced due to the recent developments in Afghanistan and their flood toward neighbouring countries as one of the most important and vital issues arising from the Afghan developments. He said this needs serious attention especially with regard to the difficult situation the coronavirus pandemic has created.

At the start of the meeting, Zarif also extended his congratulations on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Iran and China and, speaking on behalf of the Iranian government, thanked the Chinese government for supplying coronavirus vaccines to Iran.

During the meeting, Yue also extended his congratulations on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of political ties with Iran and described the strategic cooperation between the two countries as significant. He also outlined his country’s views on the Afghan developments and underlined the necessity of cooperation among regional countries, especially Afghanistan’s neighbors, on the issue.

“Regarding the status of Iran’s missions in Afghanistan, I should say that out of the five Iranian missions in Afghanistan, including in Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif, Jalalabad, Herat and Kandahar, our colleagues have already left three missions in Mazar-i-Sharif, Herat and Kandahar and have been conducting their activities from Kabul,” said Saeed Khatibzadeh when asked by reporters about the status of Iranian missions in Afghanistan.

“Of course, due to some reasons, it had been decided that the closure of these missions not be announced,” he added.

“At the moment, only the security guards and a few local colleagues are present at these three missions,” Khatibzadeh said.

“Iran has also drawn down staff members at its embassy in Kabul, and a number of our colleagues have returned, leaving only enough personnel to handle the embassy’s essential activities,” he explained.

He also weighed in on the situation of Iran’s consulate general in Herat, saying, “Our diplomats are in full health and have no problem travelling to and from Iran, but to be on the safe side, we preferred them to stay at the mission for now,” said the spokesman.

“Until before 2005 when the Cultural Heritage Department of Hamadan Province invited [archaeologist] Mahdi Rahbar to make speculations in Dokhaharan neighbourhood, no action had been taken to explore the Laodiseh district,” said Mohsen Janjani, the head of the team of archaeologists, as quoted by the Public Relations Office of the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Research Centre.

The lead archaeologist underlined that speculations and excavations had been conducted in four seasons in 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2019.

Ancient Objects Unearthed at Site of ‘Lost City’ in Western Iran“Given the densely constructed buildings in Dokhaharan neighbourhood, which is regarded as an underprivileged district in Nahavand, the team of archaeologists faced numerous problems, including choosing a proper location for speculation.

He touched upon the ongoing excavations at the site as well as the outcome of those excavations, saying, “Antiquities belonging to the Seleucid and Parthian eras, including capitals, columns and pottery were found.”

Ancient Objects Unearthed at Site of ‘Lost City’ in Western IranHe underlined search is underway to discover the Laodiseh temple, expressing hope it will be found in the upcoming excavations.

Laodiseh is known as the lost city of Seleucid whose discovery will bring to light well-kept secrets of this historical dynasty.

This historical site and the Dokhaharan area where the Laodiseh temple is thought to have been located was registered as cultural heritage on Iran’s List of National Monuments.

Tehran Hosting Exhibition of Unique Abstract Paintings

Some of the works are 3-D paintings created by using plastic, canvas and paint.

The paintings created by artist Hasaniyeh Roomi reflect order emanating from a sort of chaos.

The collection called “Post-, Pre-Time” has taken shape from a whole gamut of various points in time, showcasing a mixture of the present and the past and offering an unparalleled, timeless and colourful amalgamation.

In these paintings, objects and creatures are floating somewhere between the commencement of creation and eternity.

“This is how I create these works: I pour paint on the canvas arbitrarily, which creates an abstract atmosphere from which I extract figurative images and different elements such as plants, objects, etc.,” says Roomi.

“The elements created from an abstract atmosphere are usually imaginary and may not actually exist in reality,” the artist adds.

The exhibit runs until August 17, 2021 at Sales Art Gallery in central Tehran.

Mohammad Mokhber underlined the necessity of self-reliance, adding the country cannot pin its hope on abroad in order to solve its problems.

“The Supreme Leader and the president highlight [the necessity of] the lifting of sanctions, but we are unlikely to get anywhere by reliance on the hegemonic system,” he said.

“We cannot base our programs for running the country on the removal of sanctions, and we should make plans with the supposition that the hegemonic system will not lift the sanctions,” he added.

“As the Supreme Leader said, we are completely optimistic about the future of the country and we hope to be able to weather the current situation with honour,” he noted.

The top official underlined that hegemonic powers are trying their utmost to exert economic pressure on the country.

He said hegemonic powers are planning and trying to take revenge on Iranian people and leave no stone unturned in that regard and even compromise on people’s health to achieve their objective.

“Amid the coronavirus pandemic, we saw that the necessary measures were adopted to import vaccines, but, in the last moment, they prevented this necessary commodity from entering the country,” he said.

Mokhber said hegemonic powers claim that there are no restrictions on Iran when it comes to procuring medicines, but, in practice, they do not allow Iran to make payments for the drugs and practically prevent the imports of medicines.
