Iran Congratulates Lebanon on Anniversary of 33-Day War

Zarif, who is in Beirut on an official visit, offered congratulations to the Lebanese nation and government in his separate messages to Charbel Wehbe and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Later in the day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran released a statement on the anniversary of Lebanon’s victory in the 33-day war against the Israeli aggressors.

What follows is the full text of the statement:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran congratulates the Lebanese nation, government, army, and resistance, especially the secretary-general of Hezbollah, on the 14th anniversary of the proud victory of Lebanon’s Islamic resistance against the Zionist regime in the 2006 war, which imposed a historic defeat on the occupying regime.

The great victory was achieved in light of domestic solidarity among various tribes and synergy among the Lebanese people, and resulted in stability, security, and dignity for Lebanon and the region. The resistance of Lebanese women and men and the struggle of the brave young fighters of the resistance gave a lesson to the aggressors and sponsors of terrorism, which will protect Lebanon against the fake regime of Israel’s threats and aggression.

The Islamic Republic of Iran believes resistance against the Zionist regime will result in their imminent defeat, as the 33-day war – a symbol of people’s resistance and power against the heavily-armed Zionist regime – ended with a sweet victory for the Lebanese nation.

There is no doubt that the Lebanese nation will always remember the sweet taste of the victory, and will not allow enemies to play with the country’s security, independence, and sovereignty. The Lebanese nation will overcome the current crisis through unity and synergy, and that is a great lesson for all regional governments and nations.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has always stood by the Lebanese nation and government, and will stand by them forever. The ongoing visit of the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Beirut on the anniversary of the great epic and his talks and meetings with Lebanese officials and personalities is aimed at promoting constructive relations between Iran and Lebanon as two friendly and brotherly countries and is in line with Tehran’s all-out support for the government, nation, army, and resistance of Lebanon.

About 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, lost their lives during the 33-day war waged by Israel against Lebanon.

According to the 629-page Winograd Report by the Israeli regime, Hezbollah fighters involved in defending Lebanon against the Israeli war defeated the enemy and Tel Aviv was compelled to withdraw without having achieved any of its objectives.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the 2006 war, calls on Israel to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

(The story was updated on August 14, 2020, to add the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s statement on the anniversary of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.)

Oil Tankers Seized by US Had Nothing to Do with Iran: Envoy

Oil Tankers Seized by US Had Nothing to Do with Iran: Envoy — FILE - In this May 25, 2020 file photo, the Iranian oil tanker Fortune is anchored at the dock of El Palito refinery near Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. / Photo by AP

In a post on his Twitter account, Hojjat Soltani described the allegation as a lie and another psychological war launched by the US propaganda machine against Iran.

Soltani stressed that the vessels seized by the US are not Iranian-flagged or owned by the country.
“The terrorist president of the US cannot make up for his defeat and humiliation against the great Iranian nation by using false propaganda,” he said.

The US has reportedly seized the cargo of four tankers it says was targeting for transporting Iranian fuel to Venezuela, US officials said Thursday.

A senior US official told The Associated Press that no military force was used in the seizures and that the ships weren’t physically confiscated. Rather, US officials threatened ship owners, insurers and captains with sanction to force them to hand over their cargo, which now becomes US property, the official said.

It is not clear where the vessels or their cargoes currently are.

Prosecutors alleged the four ships were transporting to Venezuela 1.1 million barrels of gasoline. But the tankers — the Bella, Bering, Pandi and Luna — never arrived at the South American country and then went missing. Two of the ships later reappeared near Cape Verde, a second US official said.

As commercial traders increasingly shun Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro’s socialist government has been increasingly turning to Iran.

In May, Maduro celebrated the arrival of five Iranian tankers delivering badly needed fuel to alleviate shortages that have led to days-long gas lines even in the capital, Caracas, which is normally spared such hardships.

Iran Condemns UAE’s ‘Stupid’ Move to Establish Ties with Israel

Iran Condemns Bahrain’s Plan to Normalize Relations with Israel

In a statement released on Friday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly denounced the establishment of diplomatic relations between the UAE and the Zionist regime, describing it as a strategic stupid move made by Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv which would undoubtedly strengthen the axis of resistance in the region.

The statement underlined that the oppressed people of Palestine and all free nations in the world will never forgive the normalization of ties with the usurping and criminal regime of Israel and aiding and abetting the regime’s crimes.

“Undoubtedly, the blood shed unjustly during seven decades of resistance for the liberation of the holy Palestinian territory and the first qibla of Muslims will haunt those betraying the cause of Palestine sooner or later,” it added.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers Abu Dhabi’s shameful move to normalize relations with the fake, illegitimate and anti-humane Zionist regime as a dangerous measure, warns against any interference by the Zionist regime in the Persian Gulf region’s equations, and declares that the Emirati government and the other governments siding with it must accept responsibility for all the consequences of this move,” the statement noted.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has also expressed confidence that history will show how the strategic mistake made by the Zionist regime and the move by the UAE to unfairly stab the Palestinian people and the whole Muslims in the back would backfire, strengthen the axis of resistance, and maximize unity and solidarity against the Zionist regime and the regional reactionaries.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has finally advised the rulers, who are inside glass palaces and claw at the faces of Palestinians and other oppressed people of the region like Yemenis, to wake up and not go the wrong way in realizing their friends and foes.

The United Arab Emirates and Israel have reached a deal that will lead to a full normalization of diplomatic relations.

The agreement came after a phone call between US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and the de-facto ruler of the UAE.

Harsher Revenge Awaiting US for Gen. Soleimani Assassination: Iran

Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said on Thursday the enemies created a constant source of “danger and revenge” for themselves by assassinating senior Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

“The killing of General Soleimani will be avenged,” he said.

“The martyrdom of this glorious commander breathed new revolutionary life into the body of Islamic territories and brought everlasting glory upon the Islamic Revolution, the Establishment, the Iranian nation and the IRGC,” said commander Salami.

He underlined the flag that late general Soleimani raised will never fall to the ground.

Commander Salami then described the “geography of the Islamic Revoluion” as an arena for “constant confrontation” with enemies of Islam.

“What all these confrontations had in common was that there was the Islamic Revolution led by Iran on the one side, and global arrogance led by the US on the other,” he added.

The top general said the passage of time has shown that the Islamic Revolution, thanks to the vigilance and prudence of its leaders … has always had the upper hand in these arenas,” he noted.

He then underscored the key reason behind the United States’ failures is a lack of wisdom and common sense in the system leading the country.

Iran Urges Promotion of Economic Cooperation with Neighbours

Speaking at a Thursday ceremony held via videoconferencing to inaugurate a major water project, President Hassan Rouhani said the project coming on line today is a great sign of triumph for the Iranian nation.

“Under these tough conditions caused by sanctions which the enemies thought would bring us to our knees, they should now see that we are inaugurating projects every week, including this week when a major water and soil development project is inaugurated in the west of the country,” he said.

“This is a big sign to the US, Zionism and reactionary countries showing that our great nation is always victorious and stands up to all problems, and that our land will, God willing, become more and more prosperous every day,” he noted.

Iran’s History in Photos: Ancient Temple of Anahita

The Temple of Anahita is located in Kangavar, in the middle of Hamadan-Kermanshah road in western Iran, on the historical route of Ecbatana to Ctesiphon.

Based on historical records, this temple- the second stone building of Iran after Persepolis– has been used as a fire temple to honour Anahita, the ancient Persian goddess of water, during Achaemenid, Parthian and Sassanid periods.
The ancient Iranians considered Anahita to be the guardian of water; the angel of abundance, beauty and fertility who had an elevated position.

Water and the goddess of water are focused in the building’s architecture. The corridors around the temple beautifully led the water to a square pool in the centre of the structure.

Persian Architecture in Photos: Reliefs of Persepolis

Heads of four bulls have been placed face to face on both sides of the temple, whose images reflected in water when the pool was flooded, making a legendary atmosphere.

A large number of burning marks exist on the stone plates of building, proving that it has been a temple.

It is not possible to determine the exact construction date of Anahita Temple, nor its type of use, architectural space and actual body, but it is attributed to the Parthian era. This great historical monument has been subject to several natural disasters, as well as both inadvertent and intentional human destruction.

What follows are Tasnim’s photos of the temple:
