Iranian, German Diplomats Hold Talks in India

Niels Annen and Foreign Minister Zarif held talks at a meeting on the sidelines of the Raisina Dialogue conference in New Delhi on Tuesday evening.

The senior Iranian and German diplomats discussed the latest developments surrounding the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the regional conditions, particularly the situation in Afghanistan.

In the meeting, the Iranian Foreign Minister criticized the Europeans’ failure to honor their JCPOA commitments, and slammed their move to trigger the dispute resolution mechanism as baseless in legal terms and a strategic mistake in political terms.

Annen, for his part, stressed that Germany attaches significance to the relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, adding, “Our stance is defending and supporting the JCPOA, and the spirit of the letter from the three European minsters is not destruction of the JCPOA.”

E3’s Move to Trigger JCPOA Dispute Mechanism Nothing New: Iran

Iran Vows Appropriate Response to US Interception of Mahan Air Flight

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said, “At first, it is necessary to explain that the measure by the three European countries is deemed to be a totally passive action taken from the position of weakness. The process of settlement of disputes over the JCPOA has been triggered by the Islamic Republic of Iran since more than a year ago with the formal letters that our country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has sent to the JCPOA Joint Commission’s coordinator. Thus, nothing new has happened, be it in terms of the processes or in operational terms.”

“The truth is that following the announcement of the US’ illegal withdrawal from the JCPOA and the re-imposition of that country’s (US’) sanctions, which should have been lifted under the JCPOA, the JCPOA fell into a state of imbalance and instability. As a result, the Islamic Republic of Iran started the process of settlement of disputes in accordance with the Article 36 of the JCPOA and referred the case to the JCPOA Joint Commission, and at the meetings of the commission that were held to consider Iran’s request -either at the level of political directors or at the level of ministers- all parties to the JCPOA emphasized unanimously that the US’ illegal withdrawal from the JCPOA is the main reason for the current complicated situation, and the commission passed a series of solutions to address the situation. But, unfortunately, the European parties to the JCPOA failed to take a tangible and serious measure to honour their commitments during one year, despite their JCPOA commitments and also the undertakings they had given explicitly and officially at the Joint Commission meetings after the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, and accordingly, our country employed the regulations expected in the Articles 26 and 36 of the JCPOA, and halted the implementation of part of its nuclear commitments in five steps and with remarkable intervals,” he added.

“In fact, the European parties are announcing the beginning of process of settlement of disputes and activation of Article 36 of the JCPOA while the article has been referred to by the Islamic Republic of Iran long ago, and no new situation will be created. However, should the Europeans –who have claimed in the statement that they have taken such measure with goodwill and with the purpose of saving the JCPOA- keep to the path of submissiveness to the US or intend to abuse the process of settlement of disputes in the JCPOA Joint Commission instead of trying to honor their commitments and making Iran benefit from the effects of removal of the sanctions in accordance with the Annex II of the JCPOA, they will have to prepare themselves to accept its consequences as well, about which they have been already reminded via appropriate channels,” the spokesman added.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is fully prepared, as in the past, to respond to any goodwill and constructive efforts to save such major international agreement with utmost goodwill, and to support any constructive initiative in this path. In return, it (Iran) once again makes it clear for everyone, particularly for the three European parties to the JCPOA, that it will respond to any infringement, ill will and unconstructive measures seriously, decisively and in an appropriate manner,” Mousavi concluded.

What to Do and What to Visit in Iran

Persepolis

Traveling to Iran can be an experience of a lifetime but since it’s so big you will definitely need to make choices and sacrifice some activities for others, at least during your first visits. It will be most comfortable for you if go in the spring but any season is manageable. We’ve combined a list of 5 places you should definitely visit on your first trip to Iran, and we’ll tell you everything you need to know about these spots.

Visit Persepolis

This is a historic metropolis that you’ve probably heard about. According to historians it was built around 500 BCE. the main attraction of Persepolis is the vast palace complex that was built on an artificial terrace. Only remnants of the once-great city remain, after Alexander the Great destroyed Persepolis in 330 BCE as a part of his revenge for the destruction of Athens. The city burned down during the Greco-Persian Wars. The entire complex is a UNESCO world heritage site, along with the necropolis – a burial ground that is located 12 kilometers from Persepolis. The ancient ground is called Naqsh-e Rustam and is famous for its remarkable reliefs. One of the mysteries of Naqsh-e Rustam is the twelve-metre tower, the purpose of which is still unknown. It could’ve had a religious meaning behind it but no one is sure. So if you’re planning on visiting Iran you should absolutely take the opportunity to visit Persepolis.

Admire Nasir al-Mulk

Often nicknames as the Pink Mosque this historic site has one of the most beautiful interior windows in the world. While the name Pink Mosque comes from the abundance of pink roses that grow in Iran’s Shiraz, as well as the pink mosaic tile, resembling the sunrise and the sunset, Nasir Al Mulk is famous for its stained glass windows that are decorated with various motifs. For the best experience, you should probably arrive early in the morning just so you can be there for the sunrise where the stained glass is at its most beautiful with the light shining through. The beautiful gardens surrounded by high walls are fully dependent on artificial irrigation since the conditions are harsh for most of the plants. This tradition dates back centuries and gardens like these are often seen as the symbol of Paradise, against the deserts and huge temperature fluctuations.

Rest and Relaxation

After spending the entire day visiting touristy spots, most of the travelers are looking for a place to rest. Some prefer relaxing in restaurants, and some would rather read a book after a long day or watch a movie, while others like to play online casino games. Since Iran is a Muslim country, any sort of gambling is illegal here, and it’s very unlikely that authorities will allow even a small casino to function in the country. In addition to that there aren’t any licensed online casinos within the country. But the online companies that are located outside of the Iranian border can be accessed by the locals and tourists and the visitors from Iran can play online casino games.

See the Shah Royal Mosque

If you are not interested in restaurants, books or gambling, you can continue to sightseeing and visit the Shan Royal Mosque. This particular mosque was designed to portray paradise as the Quran Describes it. It is a masterpiece of the Persian architecture and dates back to 1612-1637. The mosque was built for the Shah Abbas I of Persia and is located in Isfahan, Iran’s former capital. Imam (Shah) Mosque is also listed as UNESCO world heritage site. It is located in Naqsh-e Jahan Square, which dominates Isfahan. It has always been an important part of the city, previously serving for the military parades and promenades, which it is still used to this day. In each corner of the square, there is a significant building, with the Shah Royal being one of them.

Fall in love with Ali Qapu Palace

You can’t leave Iran without visiting Ali Qapu Palace. It is also located in Isfahan, on the western side of the Naqsh-e Jahan Square, opposite Sheikh Loftollah Mosque. This palace served as the official residence of Persian Emperors of the Safavid dynasty. This Palace is also a part of the UNESCO world heritage sites due to its cultural and historical importance. The palace is 48 meters high and has six floors. The famous Music Hall is located on the sixth floor and you will be able to find rare circular niches and overall is regarded as the best example of Safavid architecture and an homage to Iran’s Islamic heritage. The name of Ali Qapu comes from Persian and Azerbaijani words meaning imperial gate. The name was given to this place as it was located at the entrance to the Safavid palaces. So don’t forget to add the Ali Qapu to your list of must-visit places in Iran.

How to Choose Best Forex Broker in Nigeria

Choosing Best Forex Broker

Financial markets are primarily associated with stocks and shares. However, currencies are also bought and sold, and shifts in corresponding exchange rates bring considerable profits to traders. With Alpari as a Forex broker, South Africans can now access the global marketplace with ease. But what exactly does a trustworthy broker do?

Understanding the Basics

In essence, these companies function as intermediaries between parties willing to act on the Forex market and the marketplace itself. Aside from individual traders, large entities (such as banks and hedge funds) also engage in currency trading. In fact, an overwhelming majority of transactions are completed by institutions, which constitutes over 94% of the overall turnover.

Users in South Africa may benefit from currency exchange by using one of the digital platforms supplied by brokers. Alpari, a well-established name in Forex trading, is a popular choice for a good reason.

Advantages to Look For

There are several distinctive features that aspiring traders in Nigeria should be looking for. Here are just a few of such competitive advantages, which are all demonstrated by Alpari International.

First, it is part of a prominent brand with over two decades of experience in the realm of currency transactions. This company as its part has been rendering first-class services since 2014. It boasts favorable spreads, effortless deposits and withdrawals, regular incentives and rewards, and much more.

The range of finance instruments is impressively broad. Traders gain access to roughly six dozen currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, global equity indices, and commodities. Whether you are keen on digital or conventional assets, there is a service for you. From gold to Ethereum, it’s all here.

Currencies in Use

These are always traded in pairs, the most popular is the GBP/USD combination. It reflects the value of the British pound (base currency) in relation to the US dollar (the quote currency). The other base currency options are Euro, USD, and the Nigerian Naira. All currencies may be bought or sold depending on their relation to one of the quote currencies.

Money transfers to and from personal accounts are simple, with a broad choice of means, from bank cards to Skrill. Naturally, the more is deposited, the more favorable the spread offered by the broker, and the more you eventually stand to gain.

How to Choose Best Forex Broker in NigeriaExecution models offered: there are two possible options available. Both are covered by Alpari International. Its clients choose between the ECN and market maker schemes.

Very favorable leverage: the term refers to the opportunity to trade with bigger volumes than your actual account balance. In the most generous scenario, the indicator reaches 1000 to 1.

Inclusion of swap-free option: also known as Islamic accounts.

Adherence to Rigid Regulation

Check your broker’s legal status in the region. Are its operations overseen by a reputable control body? For example, in the case of Alpari International, the controlling entity is the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius, where it is registered and headquartered.

Software to Access the Market

A trader accesses the currency marketplace via dedicated software tools. Alpari provides two cutting-edge platforms. Both (MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5) are customizable platforms with intuitive interfaces and multiple charting tools.

The embedded strategies, indicators, and scripts facilitate forecasting and trading. The second version is more advanced, with trading robots, new scripts, and indicators in MQL5, as well as speedy back-testing.

Naturally, both programs have been successfully adapted to portable devices. Whether it is your smartphone, tablet or laptop, you gain access wherever you are.

Copy Trading and Its Benefits

This service is indispensable for those who wish to trade, but do not have sufficient time to follow the trends and conduct transactions. In essence, they delegate the job to an expert (strategy manager), whose trades are copied into their account.

Easily Reachable Support

The support team has to be efficient and contactable. The customer care squad at Alpari is headquartered in Lagos & Abuja. It works around the clock on weekdays.

US Trying to Seize Syria’s Oil Wells, Rouhani Warns

Hassan Rouhani - Imad Khamis

In a meeting with Syria’s visiting prime minister in Tehran on Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani expressed gratitude to the Syrian government and nation for their sympathy over the American assassination of top Iranian commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani and the loss of scores of Iranians in the recent crash of a Ukrainian passenger plane.

General Soleimani was a great and highly-revered figure not only among Iranians, but among the whole freedom-seeking people in the region and the world, President Rouhani noted, saying the late Iranian commander was assassinated in a US terrorist attack because he was a supporter of the oppressed people across the region and thwarted the plots hatched by the US and the other enemies.

“We will never forget such grave US crime and believe that the regional nations should not relax until ending the military presence of the US in the region and evicting those invaders,” he added.

“Today, the Americans’ interference in the affairs of the other countries and their attempts to seize Syria’s oil wells have clearly revealed that they’ve never cared about the interests of the regional nations,” the president stated.

He further reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran will keep supporting the oppressed nations in the face of the global arrogance in the same way that it has stood by the Syrian government and nation in the fight against terrorism.

The cooperation between Iran and Syria must continue until achieving the ultimate victory, eradicating terrorism, expulsion of the foreign occupiers from Syria, and the return of Syrian refugees to their homeland, President Rouhani stressed.

He finally expressed hope that the process initiated by Syria’s Constitutional Committee would fulfill the interests of the Syrian nation.

For his part, Prime Minister of Syria Imad Khamis offered his condolence over the martyrdom of Lt. General Soleimani, describing the loss of the Iranian commander as a major disaster for all liberalist nations in the world.

Paying tribute to the late commander for his indescribable bravery, Khamis said Lt. General Soleimani will remain forever in the hearts of Syrians following his great contribution to the axis of resistance in the region.

The Syrian premier also noted that Iran’s retaliatory missile attack on a US military base in Iraq has sent a clear message to the regional and world governments, saying, “This action showed the enemies that the arrogance has no place in this region anymore.”

Highlighting the continued efforts to eradicate terrorism in the region, Khamis added, “The presence of Americans in Syria is a blatant example of occupation, and we believe that all nations and governments must stand against their (US’) illegitimate presence in the region.”

The Syrian premier further offered condolences to Iran over the deaths of people in the Ukrainian plane crash, saying Iran’s admission of responsibility for the accident indicates the Iranian officials’ honesty and prudence.

The Syrian nation is grateful to the “Iranian brothers” for all their support and help, Khamis noted, calling for efforts to expand the trade ties and to broaden cooperation between Damascus and Tehran in various fields.

“In the process of reconstruction of Syria, Iran is definitely our top priority, and we invite the (Iranian) companies and private sector to get involved in the Syrian projects,” the Syrian prime minister concluded.

Iran’s Beauties in Photos: Qadamgah Town

Qadamgah Town

The significance of Qadamgah is mainly because of a visit to the town by the eighth Shiite Imam, Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (PBUH) during his political-historic voyage from Medina to Marv.

During the past centuries, thanks to the large number of travellers, pilgrims and merchants, many public and governmental buildings including ribat (a small fortification built along a frontier), Chapar Khane (courier house), and bathhouses have been developed in the town.

The town is also home to the Qadamgah Garden, a monument located in 24 km to the east of Neyshabour on the route leading from Neyshabour to Mashhad.

The monument was built in 1020 AH by the order of Shah Abbas Safavi with a four-Iwan pattern and a high dome on the top and tilework decorations.

What distinguishes the monument is a spring consecrated by the presence of Imam Reza in the central area of the garden, both flowing from and hiding in that very area.

Iran Develops Electronic Autopsy Table, Software

The product was developed by a group of students at a knowledge-based pharmaceutical sciences company affiliated with Shahid Baheshti University of Medical Sciences, said an official.

“We began simulation work at the university in 2014, and the primary objective was not to develop a product only, but to create a platform and domestically develop the technology from A to Z,’ said Dr. Rezqi, Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.

He said the newly developed software has numerous educational and medical applications.

“This software includes the world’s largest educational anatomy database with more than 20 models, real human bodies, and over 30,000 anatomical parts,” he said.

“The software is capable of simulating more than 5,000 models for specialized anatomical radiological education, and a unique model for specialized training on the bran and nerves,” he said.

For a brief review of Iran’s achievements in various fields of science and technology, check the book “Science and Technology in Iran: A Brief Review – 2019”

He added the software is also capable of reading radiological, MRI, CT Scan and X-RAY data and turning them into a 3-D format.

Among the features of the apparatus and software is high scientific precision, the ability to re-read and reconstruct radiological images, simulate the anatomical model of the brain, the embryo’s anatomy and some models of animals.

One of the major advantages of the apparatus is that it can support more than 20 bodies and schematic models while similar European and American devices can support only one or two.
