Iran Condemns US Oil Deal with Syrian Kurdish Group

Iran Condemns US Oil Deal with Syrian Kurdish Group

In a statement on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry spokesman condemned the oil agreement that the US has signed with a Syrian Kurdish group as a measure in contravention of the international law and in violation of Syria’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“The signing of the agreement by the US, as an occupier force that is illegally present on the Syrian oil, lacks any legal validity and amounts to another step taken by that country (the US) in plundering Syria’s natural resources,” Mousavi added.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that an American oil company had signed an agreement with Kurdish-led rebels who control northeastern oilfields in what it described as an illegal deal aimed at “stealing” Syria’s crude.

Reports suggest that American company Delta Crescent Energy LLC has secured the contract with the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to develop and export crude oil from northeastern Syria under a deal approved by the US government.

Turkey has also slammed the Washington-approved oil deal as “theft”.

Iran’s Nature in Photos: Reza-Abad Desert

The desert is 100 metres away from a village of the same name – a perfect example of a desert, tourist village.

Reza-Abad has been the winter place of Choudari or Choubdari nomads, the Afghan tribes who migrated from Herat to the edge of desert, before the construction of current houses. The nomads still live there in tents.

Sand dunes in various forms, black nomadic tents, brick dome houses, herd of camels and clear skies are among the attractions of this desert region.

What follows are IRNA’s photos of Reza-Abad desert in central Iran.

Iranian Researcher Discovers Two New Species of Fauna

Iranian Researcher Discovers Two New Species of Fauna

Specialized in entomology, Dr. Javad No’ei is a member of Faculty of Agriculture in Birjand University. He has introduced 20 new species to the world, four of which are from Birjand.
“Based on studies conducted on arthropod and spider species, two new genera called Razgthrombium and Birjandtrombella farniae have been introduced to the world,” Dr. No’ei told ISNA.

According to him, the first genus was discovered in Razg village, and the second in Amirabad and Rech village, both near the city of Birjand. They have been named after their place of discovery.Iranian Researcher Discovers Two New Species of Fauna 1

“Ticks belonging to the families of discovered species are among natural enemies of agricultural pests,” No’ei added. “In the biological control method, some plant pests control harmful agricultural pests, and make it unnecessary to use chemical pesticides.” These species are about three-tenths to six-tenths of a millimeter (300 to 600 microns) in size.
He mentioned that the discovery has been published in “Systematic and Applied ‎Acarology‏”, a prestigious Australian scientific journal.

Door Knocker; A Less-Known Part of Persian Architecture

Door Knocker; A Less-Known Part of Persian Architecture

The wooden doors at the entrance of homes in the old district of Bushehr, southern Iran, are adorned with different elements: patterns and engravings, nails, anchors, and of course double brass door knockers.

Interestingly, these knockers have long been produced in two types: one for men and one for women.

The masculine knocker has a low pitch; while the feminine has a high pitch. This way, the owner of house learns if the guest is male or female by hearing the knocker’s sound.

Today, new buzzers and other audio, visual alarms have replaced those knockers; and iron doors have taken the place of those lovable wooden doors. However, the old knockers are still an integral part of the Iranian culture in more traditional areas.

What follows are IRNA’s photos of the historical door knockers in Bushehr:
