Ancient Brick Structure Found Near Tehran

Senior archaeology official Qadir Afroond says an architectural structure belonging to the early Islamic period was recently discovered at a depth of 4 metres in the course of excavating a piece of land near the Imam Ali highway belonging to the Shahr-e-Rey Chamber of Guilds.

“In the initial exploration of this region with a total area of 90 square metres, the architectural structures of the early Islamic centuries (probably the Buyid dynasty) and a broken clay dish belonging to the Seljuk period were discovered,” added Afroond, who is the Director of the Archaeology Department at the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organisation of Tehran Province.

Rey, which has been the capital of Iran for many years and is a major archaeological area of Tehran province, has a lot of historical monuments and tourist attractions. The 6,000-year-old city is considered the third religious city of Iran as it receives more than eight to 10 million pilgrims and tourists every year.

Rey is located in the central plateau of Iran. Bibi Shahr Banoo and Arad mountains as well as the 5,000-year-old Cheshmeh Ali hill are the oldest archaeological sites of Rey.

Rey was the first place in Iran that was connected to capital Tehran by a railroad in 1888 as it was the only important pilgrimage site in vicinity.

No Place for Foreign Forces in Persian Gulf: IRGC Navy

Speaking to reporters in Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad on Monday, Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri said Iranian forces are vigilantly controlling the country’s southern waters in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Highlighting Iran’s intelligence dominance over the enemy and the constant monitoring of hostile forces in the Persian Gulf, the commander said, “We have a message for our Muslim neighbors, and have announced several times that we extend the hand of fraternity to you (the neighbors) and believe that the Persian Gulf is our home, so we can ensure the security of the Persian Gulf and there is no need for the presence of aliens like the US and the countries whose home is not in here.”

Rear Admiral Tangsiri also said that deployment of foreign nuclear warships to the Persian Gulf, which is an enclosed sea, could create environmental problems in the region.

Refraining from dispatching nuclear vessels to their own waters, the outsiders send them to the Persian Gulf, causing problems for Iran and the other Persian Gulf neighbors, he deplored.

Iran has never launched any attack on other countries, the commander reiterated, saying the enemies have misrepresented the reality in order to deploy forces to the region and sell their weapons.

The presence of foreign forces in the Persian Gulf disrupts security in the region, he concluded.

In remarks in 2016, Ayatollah Khamenei underlined that security of the Persian Gulf region comes within the purview of the regional countries alone, and dismissed the US claim of seeking security in the region.

“The Persian Gulf security relates to the countries of the region which have common interests, and not to the US. So, security of the Persian Gulf region should be provided by the countries of this region itself,” the Leader said.

Ayatollah Khamenei has also called for the enhancement of the Iranian naval forces’ presence in international waters and expanding the Navy’s power in balance with the merit of the Islamic Establishment.

ICJ Starts Hearing Iran’s Lawsuit against US over Illegal Sanctions

By
IFP Media Wire

Iran last month lodged a complaint with the Hague-based tribunal, arguing that the sanctions violate the terms of a 1955 friendship treaty between the two countries.

The country opened a lawsuit Monday demanding the UN’s top court order the suspension of the renewed US sanctions.

“The United States is publicly propagating a policy intended to damage as severely as possible Iran’s economy and Iranian nationals and companies,” Iran’s lawyer Mohsen Mohebi told the court.

“This policy is nothing but naked economic aggression against my country,” he said, adding “Iran will put up the strongest resistance to the US economic strangulation, by all peaceful means.”

Tehran has called on the United Nations court to order the immediate lifting of the sanctions, and demanded compensation for damages incurred in their wake.

Sanctions had been lifted under a 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and six other countries – the US, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia.

President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the US out of the deal with Iran in May and pledged to reimpose the most restrictive sanctions on the country.

Washington reinstated the first batch of sanctions in early August and will re-impose the second batch in November which will primarily be meant to undermine Tehran’s oil exports.

The United States’ lawyers will present their arguments on Tuesday. They are expected to argue that the ICJ should not have jurisdiction in the dispute.

The oral arguments, essentially a request by Iran for a provisional ruling, will last for four days, with a decision to follow within a month.

The ICJ was set up in 1946 to resolve international disputes. Its rulings are binding but on rare occasions they have been ignored by certain countries, chiefly the United States.

The US will respond formally in oral arguments on Tuesday, reportedly arguing that the United Nations court should not have jurisdiction in the dispute.

US lawyers will reportedly claim that the friendship treaty signed before the Islamic Revolution in 1979 is no longer valid and that the sanctions Washington has levied against Tehran, do not violate it anyway.

Bike-Riding French Tourists Once Again in Iran after 46 Years

Back in 1972, a group of French tourists travelled all the way from Paris to Isfahan on motorbikes, leaving behind a pleasant memory of their trip.

Now 46 years on, history is repeating itself. Over 30 seasoned French globetrotters have left Paris on 20 motorcycles to visit Isfahan to revive the memory of the previous group of tourists.

One of the tourists says Iran has beautiful cities and that the French tourists have embarked on their journey to visit the cities.

The Chamedan website quoted him as saying that they started from Paris and crossed Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey to reach Iran and go to their final destination, i.e., Isfahan. He says they will also visit several other Iranian cities such as Rasht and the capital, Tehran.

“This is the first time we are coming to Iran,” says the tourist.

The tourists are experienced ones, and the flags of different countries on their motorcycles show they have already travelled to many countries.

They entered Iran on August 21 via the Bazargan border in northwestern Iran.

 

Iran, Syria Sign Defence Cooperation Agreement

The agreement was signed in a meeting on Sunday between Iran’s Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami and his Syrian counterpart Ali Abdullah Ayyoub.

Speaking in the meeting, General Hatami said the agreement enables defence cooperation on a wide range of areas, as the reconstruction of the country is due to begin.

The Syrian defence minister, for his part, said he is pleased to see bonds of friendship between the two countries being strengthened, as Iran is a close ally of Syria and its assistance enabled Damascus to achieve big victories over terrorists.

“We will pursue our national interests in our bilateral cooperation and will not allow any country to harm our robust relationship,” he said.

Late on Sunday, Hatami held a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, in which they explored ways of boosting Tehran-Damascus relations.

The Iranian general, heading a high-ranking delegation, had arrived at Damascus for a two-day visit on the same day.

Iran has since 2011 been assisting the Syrian army in its fight against terrorism.

Iran Says Successful Hajj to Pave Way for Tehran-Riyadh Dialogue

Speaking in a presser in Mecca on Sunday, Seyyed Ali Qazi-Askar, the representative of the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in Hajj Affairs, said Saudis have been improving the quality of their hajj services year by year, particularly in terms of transport and visas.

“This year’s hajj was one of the best ones in terms of execution and spirituality,” he said.

This month, nearly two million worshippers from across the world took part in hajj, the spiritual journey to Mecca that all able-bodied Muslims with financial means must make at least once in their lifetime.

This year, around 86,000 faithful Iranians were also in Saudi Arabia to perform the annual ritual that started last Wednesday and ended on Monday.

He expressed hope this year’s hajj could prepare the ground for improving relations between the two governments.

“Iran and Saudi Arabia are two big countries in the region, which can minimize their differences through dialogue,” he said.

“As we managed to carry out hajj plans though dialogue and interaction, the two governments can engage in talks to improve political relations,” he said.

“Now that the plot of ISIS has been foiled, we should pursue bigger goals and form regional unity with our neighbours,” Qazi-Askar said.

 

Iran Following Up on Mina Incident

Iranians were absent in the 2016 hajj, after Tehran and Riyadh failed to reach agreement on security arrangements following a tragic stampede during the 2015 hajj that killed thousands of pilgrims, including 464 Iranians.

Qazi-Askar, who is the head of Iran’s hajj caravan, says Tehran is still following up on the case of victims of the 2015 Mina incident. He says the two sides are waiting for the outcome of investigations by a fact-finding committee to determine if Saudis are to blame for the incident and must pay blood money.

A long period of worsening tensions, escalated by the 2015 hajj incident, led to a severance of relations by an increasingly aggressive Saudi Arabia early 2016.

Riyadh has since then opted to keep the door of dialogue closed and tensions between the two countries have remained at an all-time high.

The Iranian government went to great lengths to heal widening fissures with Saudi Arabia that has accused Iran of aspiring to dominate the Middle East and employed checkbook diplomacy to tilt regional states toward itself and against Tehran.

Syria Will Definitely Defeat Terrorism, Iran DM Tells Assad

By

“Not only regional people, but people around the world are indebted to the fight carried out against terrorists in Syria,” Hatami said in a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Sunday.

He expressed confidence that the Syrians have the ability to continue their fight against terrorists until achieving a complete victory and defeating terrorism.

The Iranian defense chief reiterated his country’s support for Syria’s unity regardless of threats and pressure from some countries, which are supporting terrorism.

He said Iran stood by the Syrian people and nation since the beginning of war there more than seven years ago and is currently ready to participate in the reconstruction process of the war-stricken country.

“The private sector of the Islamic Republic of Iran has good capabilities and capacities in this regard and can use them in the reconstruction of Syria,” Hatami pointed out.

Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups wreaking havoc in the country.

Iranian First Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri said in June that the Islamic Republic would stand by Syria in the reconstruction process of the war-stricken country.

“As the Iranian government and nation stood by the Syrian government and people in the fight against terrorist groups, they will also stand by the Syrian people now that major parts of Syria are under the control of the country’s government,” Jahangiri said in a meeting with Syrian Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade Mohammad Samer al-Khalil in Tehran.

His comments came after Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran was ready for cooperation with other states to help reconstruct the violence-torn Arab country.

A UN spokeswoman said on Friday that United Nations Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura had invited Iran, Russia and Turkey to talks due to be held in Geneva next month on forming Syria’s Constitutional Committee.

“Special Envoy de Mistura continues his consultation on the establishment of a Syrian-led, Syrian-owned and UN facilitated Constitutional Committee within the framework of the Geneva process and in accordance with Security Council Resolution 22-54 2015,” Alessandra Vellucci said at a news conference.

Iran, Russia and Turkey, as guarantor states for peace process in Syria, expressed their firm determination in late July to counter any plot aimed at partitioning the Arab country.

Iran, Syria must outline long-term cooperation plans: Assad

The Syrian president, for his part, said Tehran and Damascus must outline plans to improve long-term cooperation in order to enhance the steadfastness of the Iranian and Syrian nations in the face of the enemies’ plots.

Assad said the US positions on the Iranian nuclear deal, the imposition of sanctions on Russia and attempts to prolong the war in Syria by supporting terrorists affirm the correctness of the policies pursued by the anti-terrorism axis.

Heading a high-ranking delegation, the Iranian defense minister arrived in Damascus earlier on Sunday to discuss a number of important issues, including the latest regional developments, the fight against terrorism, the strengthening of the resistance axis and the study of strategies for expansion of defense and military cooperation.

In a meeting with his Syrian counterpart, General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub, in Damascus, Hatami warned of extra-regional countries’ plots to sow discord in Syria, vowing the Islamic Republic’s full support for the war-ravaged country in a bid to preserve its territorial integrity and improve its stability.

“Iran will spare no effort to maintain Syria’s territorial integrity, because security in the country will help [improve] regional stability,” the Iranian defense minister said.

UAE Jets Target Allied Coalition Forces in Yemen Shores

Military sources in Yemen said the jets targeted a military unit under the command of the Saudi-led coalition which includes Al-Qaeda militants recruited by the coalition to fight against Yemenis in western shores of the impoverished war-torn country.
A number of the Saudi-led coalition forces including a top commander were killed and wounded in the attacks by the UAE fighter jets.

The attacks came as tens of the military unit’s members began to withdraw from their positions in the face of a massive assault by Yemeni forces backed by Ansarullah fighters.
Lack of coordination among the Saudi-led coalition has put Saudi Arabia and the UAE at loggerheads during the war on Yemen.

Back in 2016, a UAE plane crashed in Yemen, and Abu Dhabi blamed Riyadh for the incident. Saudi Arabia, in turn, rejected the accusation and blamed the UAE for targeting its jets in Yemen’s southern areas.

Saudi Arabia and its allies began a deadly war on Yemen back in March 2015, and have so far killed thousands of Yemenis, mostly civilians.

A report by the UN says Yemen is going through a deadly humanitarian crisis due to the war and blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition on the nation.
