Century-Old House in Qom Boasts Unique Architecture 21

Based on historical documents, the building dates back to the late Qajar era. Of course, parts of the house are older and date back more than 120 years.

The house is located in one of Qom’s old neighbourhoods called Chaharmardan.
The entrance to the house has a low lintel, which is an arch-shaped ceiling made of bricks.
The total area of the house measures around 400 sqm. The house has thirteen rooms four of which are larger than others.

There are also two wind towers in the house. On the east side of the house there is a Panjdari (a five-door structure) which is linked to the outside space and the basement through the wind towers. The Haj-Qoli-Khan house is a precious structure both in terms of architecture and antiquity. The house was registered on the list of Iranian national heritage sites in 1998. It is currently used as an office building and is the location of the local cultural heritage department.

Iran Warns Azerbaijan, Armenia against Posing Security Threats

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the senior spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, made the comment amid an ongoing operation by the Azerbaijan Republic’s military to recapture parts of its territory occupied by Armenia.

“In the wake of a military conflict between the Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia and [their] failure to observe international good-neighbour principles as well as wartime expediencies on the borders of a third country, which resulted in a number of mortar rounds being fired and landing inside Iran’s territory, our Armed Forces will boost their defense lines along the borders and announce that the security of Iranian border areas and people is our red line,” said the general.

“In this connection, we remind both warring countries that first, they should watch out for warmongering and machinations of foreigners; secondly, they should settle their differences via peaceful means and dialogue, and thirdly, they should not jeopardize the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the security and privacy of our fellow countrymen, which is a red line for our Armed Forces, by acting carelessly in their military operations and they should seriously take care in that regard,” he said.

“Following recent fighting between the two countries’ military forces in the Karabakh region, Nakhchivan and Armenia due to the machinations of some regional players, and the rocket and mortar attacks by the warring sides, some border areas of the Islamic Republic of Iran were affected and some of our fellow countrymen living in the border areas sustained damage,” the top general said.

“So, we emphasize that the two [warring] countries should resolve their differences through dialogue and not overstep Iran’s red lines or they will definitely rue the day,” he said.

Iranian, Turkish Presidents Discuss Enhancement of Trade Ties

In a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, President Rouhani hailed the bilateral relations between Iran and Turkey as a model for the other neighbors.

Pointing to the negative impacts of the illegal US sanctions and the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic on the economic and trade interaction between Tehran and Ankara, President Rouhani expressed hope for growing trade ties in full compliance with the health protocols and with a rise in the transit of trucks and number of flights.

The president also stressed the need for the immediate implementation of the previous bilateral deals between the two countries, particularly the trade and banking agreements, considering the most recent meeting of Iran-Turkey High Council of Economic Cooperation, held in Tehran via videoconferencing.

President Rouhani further emphasized the necessity of joint action against terrorism, saying, “The terrorist groups could be a great threat to the region.”

The president also voiced Iran’s readiness to cooperate with Turkey in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic and share its experiences in tackling the pandemic.

President Rouhani then stressed the importance of protecting security of Iran’s border cities amid the escalation of fighting between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, adding, “Our stance on this issue is quite clear. We believe that war is not the solution, and the conflict needs to be resolved through dialogue and negotiations.”

“I believe that Iran and Turkey, as two powerful countries in the region, as well as Russia, can contribute to the establishment of peace and stability in the region, so that we’d see the establishment of peace and calm in the region with the implementation of the international law and territorial integrity,” the Iranian president stated.

Lauding the cooperation among Iran, Turkey and Russia for the settlement of crisis in Syria within the framework of the Astana Process, President Rouhani hoped that the trilateral interaction would resolve the problems in Syria, put an end to terrorism in the region, and protect Syria’s territorial integrity.

President Erdogan, for his part, hailed Iran as a friend and good neighbor of Turkey, and called for the expansion of bilateral ties under the agreements reached in the meetings of the High Council of Cooperation.

He also gave an assurance that Turkey will continue to support Iran against the US’ unilateral sanctions, saying Ankara would do its utmost, like before, to broaden the economic and trade ties with Tehran.

The Turkish president further described the cooperation with Iran in the war on terrorism as a major factor in ensuring regional peace and security, calling for continued interaction in the fight against terrorism.

President Erdogan finally expressed hope that the coordination between Turkey and Iran amid the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute would help settle the crisis through negotiations and restore calm and peace to the region.

Iran Summons Swiss Envoy to Protest US Allegation of Meddling in Election

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran Saeed Khatibzadeh announced that the Swiss ambassador to Tehran has been summoned by the assistant to Iranian Foreign Minister and Director-General for Americas at the Foreign Ministry on Thursday morning after the US regime’s officials raised baseless allegations that other countries are meddling in the upcoming US presidential election.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects the repetitive claims and the fabricated, amateurish and deceitful reports from the US regime’s officials, stressing once again that it makes no difference to Tehran which of the two candidates would reach the White House,” he added.

“The US regime and that country’s intelligence and security services, which have a long record of interference and creating chaos in the elections of other countries and are also imprisoned in their delusional and deceitful world, are raising a groundless claim ahead of the elections in that country in order to carry out their undemocratic project and predefined scenario by pinning the blame on the others,” Khatibzadeh deplored.

“It is not unlikely that masterminds of such childish scenarios are seeking to distract the attention and public opinion and foment suspicious provocations ahead of the elections,” the Iranian spokesperson noted.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran advises the United States to abandon the futile attempts to put the blame on others, the baseless accusations, and the creation of suspicious scenarios, and to try to behave like a normal state at the level of international relations and in relations with the other countries,” Khatibzadeh added.

His remarks came after Director of US National Intelligence John Ratcliffe alleged that Iran and Russia had obtained voter registration information in an attempt to undermine confidence in the US presidential election.

Speaking at a news conference at the FBI headquarters, Ratcliffe claimed that Iran was separately behind a series of threatening emails that were found to be sent this week to Democratic voters, which he said were “designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest and damage” US President Donald Trump.

Iran's Non-Oil Exports Doubled in 8 Years: President

President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday the enemy intended to hinder Iran’s non-oil exports, but to no avail.

“Enemies tried to prevent the exports of oil, gas condensate, oil products and other items which were considered part of our staple exports in the past, but they failed to succeed because of the diversity of our products,” he said.

The president added enemy’s plots against Iran have failed.

“The enemy will definitely not be able to continue its plots,” he said.

President Rouhani added whoever is elected to the White House should submit to the Iranian nation.

“It makes no difference to us which person or which party will win in the US presidential election. Whoever comes to power in the US will have no choice but to submit to the Iranian nation. He has no other option,” he said.

“It is pretty obvious that they chose the wrong path. They wanted to bring the Iranian nation to its knees. They wanted to make our establishment give in to their demands. But we didnt succumb to them, nor will we do so,” he said.

He said non-oil exports have been a lever in Iran’s hands to counter the enemy.
“Our non-oil exports have been a bulwark against the enemy,” he noted.

“Our exports have increased in the steel, aluminium, copper and other sectors. There has been a jump in production, which shows we can be more active than before when it comes to exports.

“Non-oil exports have created problems for the enemy and have prevented the enemy from being successful in its wrong move,” he said.
