Jahan-Nama Museum; A Collection of Artworks from Entire World 1

Jahan-nama means “orrery” in Persian: it is the most perfect name given to the western part of Sahebqaraniyeh Palace in Niavaran Complex, which has been allocated to the preservation of works donated to the Pahlavi dynasty or purchased by them.

Indeed, Jahan-nama Museum displays a world in a limited space, where you can clearly recognize the evolution and development of human talents and feelings. It contains historical objects from different cultures, and works by different artists.

The building includes four halls on the ground floor and one in the basement. It was allocated to the perseveration of works donated to or bought by Farah Diba, the former Iranian queen, in 1976. On the roof of the middle hall, there is a painting on wood with the famous Persian theme of “Rose and Nightingale” of Shiraz.

Jahan-nama Museum was inaugurated in February 1998. The works in this museum are displayed in two sections: prehistoric art, and works of contemporary visual arts from Iran and the world.

Examples of works in the first section include the ancient remnants of pre-Columbian civilizations, Lorestan bronze, Amlash pottery, and the North American Indian art from the first and second millennia BCE.

In the other part, there are works by contemporary Iranian artists such as Sohrab Sepehri, Nasser Oveisi, Faramarz Pilaram, Jafar Rouhbakhsh, Parviz Kalantari, Bahman Mohasses, Sirak Melkonian, Jazeh Tabatabai, Mash Ismail and Parviz Tanavoli; as well as the non-Iranian ones like George Brock, Paul Gauguin, Paul Klee, Picasso, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Diego Giacometti, Fernand Léger and Mark Chagall.

Tehran-Beijing Cooperation to Disrupt World Order Sought by US: Iran

Tehran-Beijing Cooperation to Disrupt World Order Sought by US

Mahmoud Vaezi, the chief of staff of the Iranian president, said the Tehran-Beijing cooperation plan has been criticized overseas.

“This [cooperation] document, whose full text has not been released yet, has immediately come under fire abroad, and they make inappropriate comments about it, which shows they are concerned over this agreement,” said Vaezi on state TV.

He said if the agreement contains commitments on both sides, then it must go through the Parliament for approval, but if it does not contain any commitments, the document will be discussed at a Cabinet meeting before being sent to Parliament which will see if the document accords with the Constitution.

He said the text of the 18-page document will be released only after it is signed.
“If we reach an agreement, the text will definitely be released, but it depends on what the outcome of talks with the other side will be about the agreement and its release. If there is confidentiality, then we will make another decision,” he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Vaezi touched upon Europe’s stance on the Iran nuclear deal.
He said the three European countries seem to be interested in preserving the nuclear deal, but cannot live up to their obligations under the US pressure.

He then weighed in on the reason for the Europeans’ flip-flop on Iran. “What the Europeans have shown so far has not been based on any logic and principle and they have acted very hesitantly,” he said.

“The Europeans are in such a situation because of their weakness in interacting with the US – they failed to reach any principles in their relations with the US,” he said.

“In my idea, the Europeans are waiting for the remaining months to the US elections to pass, and they believe Trump will not win the election; hence, they are hopeful of the future, and this goes for Europe and many other countries which have problems with Trump’s behaviour,” he noted.

Iran Vows to Take Action If UN Arms Embargo Not Lifted

In an interview on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said the ban must be lifted as scheduled in accordance with relevant documents.

“It is our legal right. This is a privilege that Iran enjoys under the JCPOA and [UNSC] Resolution 2231. By virtue of those documents, the ban on the purchase and sale of weapons by Iran must be lifted by October,” he said.

He said Washington is likely to try to keep the arms embargo in place. “Naturally, the Americans will struggle to prevent it and take action such as what they are doing now, including propaganda campaigns and spreading lies about Iran’s moves,” he said.

“They want to build a new consensus against Iran and create the impression that it (the lifting of the arms embargo would harm security. But we have shown those that are subversive of security, peace and stability in the region are foreign forces, especially the Americans, together with the actions they are taking,” the spokesman noted.

He warned that Iran will take the necessary action should the arms ban remain in place.
“We have already warned that if the Americans and some European countries buckle under political and diplomatic pressure by the US and lead to a reinstatement of the arms embargo, the Islamic Republic of Iran will take serious action as it has planned to. We hope we won’t get to that point,” he said.

However, he noted, the United Nations Security Council is unlikely to succumb to US pressure.

“In our estimation, the UN Security Council is not moving toward that direction. Now we should wait and see what the Americans and the rest of the world will do,” Mousavi said.

He urged all countries to act wisely with regard to global peace and security. “Again, we hope and we urge independent nations not to make injudicious decisions about international peace and security under US pressure,” he said.

President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday if there is a need for certain gatherings to be held, they must be held on a very limited scale.

“Now it is not a time to hold festivals and seminars,” he stressed in a meeting of the Headquarters of Fight against Coronavirus.

“Businesses and economic activities may continue only with full compliance with health protocols; there is no second way,” he said.

The president underlined that Iranian researchers keep working to develop a vaccine for the virus.

“Our scientists are trying to produce the necessary medicines and a vaccine for the disease caused by coronavirus,” said the president.

He asked people infected with COVID-19 not to hide their disease.

“Hiding the disease is a violation of others’ rights,” he noted.

He urged all to work together closely as before to contain the disease.

The president noted there is no way to stop the spread of the virus other than abiding by health protocols.

He further expressed his gratitude to all government institutions and the Armed Forces as well as all others involved in the campaign against coronavirus.

Snake Tongue Canyon; Bizarre Attraction in Lut Desert

Snake Tongue Canyon; Bizarre Attraction in Iran’s Lut Desert 5

The canyon is divided into two branches, east and west, and for this reason, due to its resemblance to the tongue of snakes, it is known as “snake tongue” canyon.

Traveling to the area where the “Snake’s Tongue” is located requires complete familiarity with the area, having the right equipment, having enough experience and a permit from the relevant authorities.

Due to the looseness of the walls and the possibility of rock parts falling, approaching the walls, staying overnight and producing sound in this place will lead to numerous dangers.
The floor of the valley is covered with sand which is thrown into the valley by the wind.

The height of the valley is about 190 metres above sea level, which makes it a low-lying area, and the length of the valley is about 9 kilometres. You must visit the valley on foot because it is not possible to advance by car anymore shortly after entering the valley, and the canyon becomes narrower due to the existence of sand.
In the valley, you can see bird carcasses and the footprints of foxes. They indicate that the foxes come into the valley to feed on the carcasses of birds.

Lut Desert where this canyon is located is a plain in the southeast of the country. This plain is located in parts of Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan and South Khorasan provinces and has a lot of scenic areas.

Smuggled Iranian Antiquities to Return Home from Austria

The antique objects had been illegally taken out of Iran by profiteers and smuggled into Austria.

The antiquities were delivered to the Iranian representative in Austria on July 9, 2020 under a judicial cooperation agreement between the two countries with the cooperation of Iran and Austria’s Interpol offices.

Present at the ceremony were top Vienna police officials as well as the Iranian representative, who expressed gratitude to Austria’s police and prosecutor’s office for their cooperation in discovering and returning the antique items.

He said the cooperation was a sign of deep-rooted historical and cultural relations between the two countries, calling for expansion of those ties.

The artifacts will be returned to Iran as soon as possible.

Kiling Gen. Soleimani Clear Example of US State Terrorism: Iran

Iran Urges Saudi Arabia, Israel to Come Clean on Nuclear Activities

Majid Takht Ravanchi said the crime makes the US government internationally responsible for it.

“The United States’ killing of General Soleimani and his companions is seen as a criminal terrorist act by any standard,” said the Iranian envoy in a letter to UN Secretary General António Guterres and the chairperson of the UN Security Council.

“In recent years and in line with the commitments of the Islamic Republic of Iran and UN Security Council resolutions on fighting terrorism, martyr Soleimani had a key role in helping the people and governments of some regional countries, at their own request, in defeating the most dangerous terror groups such as ISIS and other groups designated as terror groups by they UN Security Council,” he said.

“The officials of the said countries had also overwhelmingly and repeatedly admitted that martyr Soleimani had taken action [in fighting terrorists],” said Iran’s ambassador to the UN.
He said the terrorist act of assassinating general Soleimani was committed upon direct orders by US President Donald Trump, saying the move was a blatant violation of the principles of international laws, especially the principles stipulated in the UN Charter.

“This illegal and, at the same time, adventurous move by the US reveals that Washington’s claim of fighting terrorists is a hollow one. In fact, the United States is fighting those who are combating terrorists,” he noted.

“This hypocritical policy which runs counter to the United States’ international commitments in fighting terrorism, including those under UN Security Council resolutions, seriously undermines regional and international efforts in the war on international terrorism,” he said.

Takht Ravanchi said the designation part of a government’s military as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” is in breach of the principles of international law and the UN Charter, including the principle of equality of sovereignty of governments, and can, by no means, be regarded as a pretext to use threat or force against them, including in other countries’ territories.

He roundly rejected all unfounded arguments by US officials to justify the criminal assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and categorically condemned that “heinous crime.’

“The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves every right under international law to adopt the necessary measures to safeguard its innate right to legitimate defence,” he said.

“This very provocative move by the United States was made to increase tension in the region up to point where it would get out of control, and obviously this country should accept full responsibility for all its consequences,” said the ambassador.

“In the meantime, the UN Security Council should discharge its responsibility and condemn this illegal criminal act given the grave repercussions of this dangerous military adventurism of the US for international peace and security,” he noted.

“I should emphasize that the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially the Qods Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which have always been at the forefront of the campaign against terrorism and extremism in the region, are, in line with the international obligations and rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran, set to decisively follow in the footsteps of martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soliemain in fighting terrorist groups in the region until they are fully eradicated,” he noted.
