Iran’s Non-Oil Exports Could Reach $41bn This Year: President

In comments on Thursday, President Hassan Rouhani further described exporters as “soldiers and commanders at the forefront of the campaign against US terrorism.”

He urged all producers and exporters to redouble their efforts to give fresh impetus to production and exports.

“The enemies, led by the US, seek to create problems for the country with regards to the supply of foreign exchange, but this US conspiracy will be foiled as all of us become active in the production and exports sector,” said the president at a ceremony to inaugurate projects of the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade in a number of provinces.

“The inauguration of Rls. 58 trillion worth of projects in a single day indicates the failure of sanctions and certain acts to impede our efforts,” he noted.

“This year, a total of 200 industrial and mineral projects with an overall price tag of Rls. 1,700 trillion will come on line,” he said.

“Despite propaganda campaigns in cyberspace, I’m telling people that through unity, making efforts, consultations and working on the path to production, we can stand up to the enemy well and solve problems,” the president said.

Iranian Woman Turns Farmland into Doll Exhibition

Khadijeh Abbasi, who lives alone in a village in Ardakan in Iran’s central Yazd province, has been making creative dolls, a work that is astonishing and unbelievable. 

She is a 58-year-old woman who has been making dolls for five years with old clothes, scrap metal, and small pieces of other materials.

She is from the city of Ardakan, but has been living with her husband in one of the villages of Ardakan for eight years where she spends her time with geese, chickens and sheep.

They are the only ones who live on this farm. Khadijeh has been working on carpets since she was a child, and has woven many silk carpets on her own, but in the past few years, she has been making dolls.

“I had to create an entertainment for myself. So I started making dolls. The first doll I made was called Henna. I don’t make these dolls for sale. I even received orders to make dolls, but I did it for them free of charge. I will not take any money in return.”

Now Khadijeh’s house has turned into a doll farm, each with its own story. Following are the pictures of her dolls published by the Young Journalists’ Club:

Iran Condemns Expansion of EU, US Sanctions on Syria

In a statement on Thursday, Mousavi said lying, levelling accusations and hatemongering are among the main elements of the US foreign policy, especially in the current regime.

Mousavi described US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a “hatemonger”, saying that his recent remarks stem from the same approach pursued by US officials.

The Americans, who feel they have not succeeded in extending the UN arms embargo on Iran in the international arena and the Security Council, are trying to make up excuses for continuing their maximum pressure and advancing their evil goals by levelling accusations and lying, he added.

Mousavi further pointed to the five-year siege imposed by the United States and Saudi Arabia on the Yemeni people, killing thousands as a result of starvation and malnutrition.

“Instead of being held accountable for their crimes in Yemen, the two regimes (US and Saudi Arabia) are trying not to fulfil their responsibilities and be held accountable for their inhumane behaviour and crimes by accusing others and making baseless allegations,” he noted.

Pompeo announced on Wednesday that Washington and partner forces seized a boat in June carrying Iranian weapons to Yemen as he renewed his call for the UN Security Council to extend an arms embargo on Iran.

Rouhani Urges New White House Ruler to End Economic Terrorism against Iran

President Hassan Rouhani said Washington and Tel Aviv not only try to divide people and the government, but also make every effort to create divisions within the Establishment.

Speaking at a Cabinet meeting in the capital Tehran on Wednesday, Rouhani said enemies want to disappoint the Iranian people’s hopes in the System. He urged all to stand up to enemies’ plots and maintain their unity.

He also praised Tehran’s efforts to have several UN Security Council anti-Iran resolutions lifted, despite US efforts to keep them in place.

The president then touched upon the handing over of “Justice Shares” to people. He said part of the shares have been freed up, the rest will be gradually freed in the coming months.

Justice Shares refer to shares issued in the name of Iranian people as part of the government’s privatization plan.

The shares, owned by people, had until recently been under the control of the government, which has just begun to free them up, so that their owners can trade them as they wish.

Iran Blames Growing COVID-19 Toll on ‘Criminal US’

In remarks on Wednesday, Namaki said “the criminal US” which has imposed the worst, the cruelest, and the most unfair sanctions on Iran is to blame for the worsening situation in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

He also warned that escalation of economic woes and loss of livelihoods under the pressure of poverty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak could result in insurrection.

“This country’s president must think about the people’s livelihood. This country’s administration, the security forces, the law enforcement and the military forces must think about the livelihood and prevention of formation of insurrection,” he added.

The health minister then pointed to the coronavirus stimulus packages in the other countries, saying while the UK government, for example, has provided even the foreign students with a sum of 20,000 pounds to deal with the coronavirus problems, Iran does not have sufficient financial resources to support the businesses affected by the pandemic.

Namaki finally noted that the Health Ministry was obligated to stop opposing the reopening of businesses when the government is unable to provide financial support for a booth owner, a taxi driver, or a shopkeeper.

Iran’s Health Ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday that 153 patients have died of the novel coronavirus in the past 24 hours, increasing the overall death toll to 12,084.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has repeatedly announced that his administration is engaged in a battle on two fronts at the same time, dealing with the cruel foreign sanctions and addressing the coronavirus and its economic consequences.

Khoda-Afarin Natural Bridge; A Tough Mountain Pass for Nomads

Khoda-Afarin Natural Bridge (29)
Livestock crossing the stairway

Khoda-Afarin means “Created by God” in Persian. It’s a dangerous, hard-to-pass route navigated by nomads in Gazestan region.

Khoda-Afarin is in fact a bridge, a natural passage made by mountain drift on the roaring river of Bazoft, where the water amazingly disappears under the huge rocks all of a sudden.

Its steep slope and narrowness makes this pass very dangerous. The slightest mistake causes the livestock to go berserk and fall off the precipices.

The women and children cross the river’s calmer parts along with the large cattle using Balam, also called Kalak or Sini; some type of traditional boat made of musk.

The Bakhtiari nomads have created stairs there, in the heart of hard mountain rocks, using axe and pickaxe. Some believe the stairs have been carved a thousand years ago.  An inscription with Islamic themes is also engraved on the stones.

What follows are Mehr News Agency’s photos of Khoda-Afarin pass:

Iranian Diplomat, Syrian President Discuss Return of Refugees

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri and Defence Minister of Syria General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub have signed an agreement to promote military and security cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries, Al Mayadeen reported on Wednesday.

The two officials have also discussed the latest developments in Syria, with both stressing the need for the withdrawal of foreign forces that have been deployed to the Arab country illegally.

In the meeting, the top Iranian general has pledged that the Islamic Republic will strengthen Syria’s air defense systems as part of the military cooperation.

Major General Baqeri has also criticized Turkey for the delay in honoring its commitments under the Astana Process to force the terrorist groups out of Syria, saying, “Turkey must know that settlement of its security problems would be possible via negotiations and reaching a compromise with the Syrian side, not through military presence on Syrian soil.”

The senior Iranian commander has also pointed to the regional nation’s aversion to the US, saying the military agreement between Tehran and Damascus would strengthen the two countries’ resolve for mutual cooperation against the American pressures.

The Syrian defense minister, for his part, has warned that the US government would not hesitate for a moment to bring Iran, Syria and the axis of resistance to their knees if it had the capability to do so.

General Ayyoub has also denounced the Israeli regime as a main partner of the US in the war against Syria, saying the activities of terrorist groups are part of the Israeli aggression.

Iran, a staunch ally of Syria, has been giving its support to Syria’s government in countering both Takfiri terrorists and foreign-backed rebels over the past nine years.
