US Sanctions on Iranian Officials Show Its Desperation: Tehran

Spokesman Condemns US Envoy’s Comments on Military Action against Iran

In a statement on Thursday, Mousavi condemned the new sanctions, and said the US regime’s addiction to imposition of sanctions is indicative of the country’s unlawful and arbitrary behaviours against the integrity of the international law and order.

“The US regime targets the legal bodies and officials of independent governments with its hostile policies,” Mousavi noted.

“The futile, repetitive, and blind sanctions imposed by the US regime against the interior minister, the commander of the Law Enforcement, and other officials of our country indicate the weakness, desperation, and confusion of the US regime,” the spokesman noted.

He said the new sanctions have been imposed based on Washington’s usual delusions, under the influence of ill-informed advisors, and in reaction to the regime’s failures vis-à-vis the strong resolve of the Iranian nation and government.

“The recent sanction is considered another blatant violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and the US government’s commitments under the international law,” Mousavi said, urging the international community to hold the US accountable for such blatant violations.

“By imposing and implementing such sanctions, the United States has ignored deep-rooted internationally-accepted decency and conventions, and has directly targeted individuals and bodies who are closely intertwined with the order and security of the Iranian nation, and the security of the region in a broader sense,” he concluded.

Mousavi’s comments came after the United States imposed sanctions on eight Iranian officials, including Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli.

The US treasury announced the sanctions Wednesday amid the Trump administration’s anti-Iran campaign.

Iran’s Law Enforcement Force Commander Hossein Ashtari is among the seven others sanctioned.

The measure was said to be aimed at holding “accountable Iranian officials and institutions” over the November 2019 unrest in Iran.

Iranian Mothers Can Now Pass Nationality to Children

Iranian Mothers Can Now Pass Nationality to Children

Government Spokesman Ali Rabiei said Wednesday the cabinet has approved the regulations for allowing children of Iranian mothers and foreign fathers to obtain Iranian citizenship.

Rabiei said the children who have reached the age of 18, even if their mother dies or gets divorce, can enjoy the benefits of this law and obtain Iranian citizenship.

Many believe the law could improve the lives of thousands of children, including those with Iranian mothers married to undocumented immigrants.

In May 2019, Iran’s Parliament adopted the reform to the law, but it went back and forth from the Guardian Council to determine whether it is in accordance with Iran’s Constitution and Islamic law.

Iran’s Guardian Council finally approved the legislation in October 2019.

Iran to Give Firm Response to Disruption of Shipment to Venezuela

No Obstacle to Development of Strategic Arms in Iran: DM

Brigadier General Amir Hatami said the Americans and others know Iran will certainly not hesitate to respond in this regard.

“Disrupting the navigation of tankers is against international rules and security, and international organisations are sensitive to the rules and safety of waterways,” he said in a weekly cabinet session.

Hatami said this is a kind of piracy and Iran’s policy is very clear. Tehran has announced very clearly that it will not tolerate any provocation.

Five Iranian tankers likely carrying gasoline are now sailing toward Venezuela, amid the tensions between the two sanctioned nations and the United States.

Washington has called for the cessation of shipments between the two sanctioned countries.

Tehran and Caracas have had strong ties for years, in part due to their hostile approach towards the United States. Both countries help each other maintain trade in the face of US sanctions.

Iran to Resume Trade with Arab States in Compliance with Health Protocols

Iran to Resume Trade with Arab States in Compliance with Health Protocols

The Islamic Republic’s Health Minister Saeid Namaki said Iran is interested in expanding trade relations with these countries, and has announced readiness to provide technical support in the field of disease management to Yemen, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman.

Speaking in a televised speech on Wednesday, he said in separate phone conversations he and his Arab counterparts have talked about various issues regarding the spread of the coronavirus in these countries and exchanged views on how to deal with these problems.

“I also thanked the friendly country of Qatar, for its cooperation in providing some equipment, especially masks, during this period,” added Namaki.

7,000-Year-Old Earthenware Found in Iran

7,000-Year-Old Earthenware Found in Iran

Supervisor of a team of archaeologists said the six earthenware dishes have been found without any damages after excavation at ‘Moshelan’ archaeological site near Savojbolagh in Iran’s northern province of Alborz.

Apart from the earthenware dishes, which had been buried in the fifth millennium BCE probably as part of a burial ceremony, ancient layers of soil, earthen objects and bones have been also discovered in the site, Siavash Saraqi added.

The new findings include footed dishes, clay vats, and dishes with red gutter-shaped spouts decorated with geometric patterns and drawings of animals, such as goats, dating back to the Cheshmeh-Ali era, he noted.

The Moshelan Hill, also known as Ismail Abad, is a major archeological site located in Savojbolagh in Iran’s central plateau that dates back to the fifth millennium BCE, he added, saying the area was excavated for the first time in 1957-1958, and once again later in 1977 by Masoumeh Navaei.

Considering the expansion of rural areas in the region, the historic hill has been poorly protected, he added, saying the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism has authorized a delegation to begin feasibility studies to determine boundaries for the Moshelan Hill archeological site.

The studies show that the historic area is much larger than what has been reported earlier, Saraqi said, noting that much of the site in the western wing has been sadly bulldozed and turned into gardens and private villas.

Human civilization in Iran dates back to the Lower Paleolithic era, over 800,000 years ago, which is proven by archaeological finds made in the Kashafrud Basin.

Some of those evidences can be found at the Zagros Paleolithic Museum in Kermanshah in western Iran.

Iran’s Leader: Abolishment of Israel Not Equal to Abolishment of Jews

Iran Leader Grants Clemency to Large Group of Iranian Inmates

The Persian-language Twitter account of Ayatollah Khamenei sent a post on Wednesday ahead of the International Quds Day, reiterating that the Islamic Republic has nothing to do with the Jewish people.

“The abolishment of the Israeli government does not mean the abolishment Jews. We have nothing to do with the Jewish people,” the Leader said in the post.

“The abolishment of Israel means that the Muslim, Christian and Jewish people of Palestine should be able to choose their government themselves and oust the foreigners and ruffians, like Netanyahu,” read the message.

“The abolishment of Israel means this, and this will surely happen,” said the tweet.

The message included an excerpt of a speech that Ayatollah Khamenei had delivered on November 15, 2019, in a gathering of the heads of government branches, a group of government officials, ambassadors of Islamic countries and participants in the International Conference on Islamic Unity in Tehran.

Iran Rejoiced that Stability Returning to Iraq, Afghanistan: Rouhani

Rouhani Condemns US for Sanctions on Medical Supplies

President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday Tehran is pleased that a new government was formed in Iraq following consensus among various groups.

“This was a major step to ensure stability and boost economy in Iraq at these tough times.”

He further added that Iran welcomes the establishment of peace and stability in all neighbouring countries including Afghanistan.

“Thank God, the differences in Afghanistan were resolved and that led to a deal between political groups. We do hope this will bring more peace and security to our eastern neighbour.”

“We are very concerned about the fate of the Afghan people because we have helped the Afghans significantly during the past 42 years. We have received their migrants warmly during this time and will continue to do so,” he added.

Rouhani also noted that Iran is deeply rejoiced to see stability achieved on the east and west of the country.

On the other hand, bad leadership brings a harmful effect to your business and you must also do your part to retain your employees. Apart from your customers, they play an essential role in your business. Make them feel that it’s their business as well. Give credit where credit is due and allow them to grow without putting too much pressure on them.

Lastly, take time to learn and continuously study your business. Learn from the mistakes of successful businessmen and take note of the good points that they have previously implemented. While there is no such thing as a perfect business, an individual that is open to learning and isn’t afraid of venturing on new things wisely is the best key to a fail-proof business.
