China to Import Iranian Shrimp Instead of Saudi Shipments

By

-

The ban came after Chinese customs detected white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in a shipment of shrimp, China’s industry publication Foodspath said.

Citing an industry source, it said Chinese customs implemented the ban “to prevent the disease from entering China”.

The ban was followed by market access being granted to Iranian shrimp exporters, including Daryazad Seafood Products which is headquartered in Bushehr province, producing raw processed and value-added shrimp products.

China is the largest market for Iran which exports some 30,000 tonnes of shrimp a year, London-based global seafood news website Undercurrent News reported.

Iranian veterinary authorities said China endorsed the exporters after they met Chinese laws, regulations and standards, paving the way for direct shipments.

Iran’s exporters have relied on sending shrimp to China through Vietnam in the absence of official export approval. Exporting through Vietnam has become more challenging, however, due to a crackdown in transshipment by Chinese authorities, Undercurrent News reported.

Minister of agriculture Mahmoud Hojjati said in June shrimp production in Iran had quadrupled to 50,000 tonnes over the past five years.

Iran seeks to use aquaculture potentials along its southern coasts to make seafood a main item of export.

It exported some 22,000 tonnes of shrimps worth around $150 million in the last Persian year which ended in March, government officials showed. It has set a target to raise production to 60,000 tonnes by 2021.

The country is carrying out joint projects with several countries, including France, to boost seafood production. A senior Iranian official once said China planned to invest $3 billion in Iran’s fisheries.

On paper, US sanctions on Iran do not target food and agricultural goods but restrictions on dollar-based transactions make trade with the country virtually impossible.

The program has reserved a special niche to production of caviar, a prized delicacy that can fetch more than $100 an ounce.

Iran is traditionally known as the origin of premium caviar, long reserved for royal courts and the gentry. Each kilo of farmed caviar sells for $1,500-$1,600 in the market.

The number of sturgeon aquafarms has been rising amid a ban on sturgeon fishing in the Caspian Sea where the world’s best caviar-bearing fish thrive.

China, where the number of high net worth individuals in China has risen nearly nine times since a decade ago, is an ideal new destination for the Iranian “black gold”, as the delicacy is often referred.

Pardoned by Wife’s Family, Ex-Mayor of Tehran Released on Bail

A file photo of ex-mayor of Tehran Mohammad Ali Najafi [right] and her late wife Mitra Ostad [left]. Najafi killed Ostad in May, but escaped death penalty after being pardoned by his wife's family.

Najafi’s lawyer confirmed his release, saying that the court has allowed him to get out of jail on bail because of his health conditions and following the pardon which was announced on August 14 by the deceased wife’s brother.

The senior politician should still serve some years in prison despite the pardon, but the duration of his new term will be decided in an upcoming court session.

Mitra Ostad, the second wife of Najafi, was murdered at her home in Tehran on May 28. The Police found Ostad’s body with several gunshots in her chest.

Back on July 30, Najafi was sentenced to death for the crime, after the court arrived at the definite conclusion that a deliberate murder had happened and “issued a Qisas [retaliation in kind] verdict”, meaning capital punishment for Najafi.

The former Tehran mayor was also sentenced to two years in prison for illegally carrying a weapon.

Based on Iran’s Islamic penal law, if a person has intentionally murdered or maimed another person, the victim (or victim’s family) is entitled to retribution (an “eye for an eye” in the case of personal injury or a life for a life in the case of murder).

However, the victim (victim’s family) can forgive the perpetrator and have the punishment not carried out. If so, the perpetrator must pay blood money (diyya) to compensate for the injury/death.

Ostad’s brother, however, said they have chosen not to receive any money from Najafi in return for the forgiveness.

A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 67-year-old Najafi was elected mayor of Tehran in August 2017, but resigned in April 2018, citing failing health.

Affiliated with the reformist political faction, he used to serve as the minister of education and the minister of science in various administrations.

He also took the helm at Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) during President Hassan Rouhani’s first term, but resigned after six months.

Menstrual Migraine Could Be Caused by Low Iron Levels

A considerable percentage of women complain of growing migraine pain during their menstrual period which is marked by changes in hormone levels. One of the reasons could be low iron levels.

Has it ever happened to you that you did not get any headaches during your menstrual period, but experienced migraine during the last days of the period? If your answer is “yes,” then your migraine may be due to low iron levels in your body.

Iron depletion is associated with symptoms such as fatigue, pale complexion, irregular heartbeat, vertigo, headache, listlessness and numbness in limbs (arms and legs). Anemia is defined as a drop in the number of red cells or levels of hemoglobin. Ferritin plays a key role in preventing anemia. Studies* show anxiety and/or depression, a lack of concentration and reluctance to establish social relationship is more prevalent among children suffering from anemia due to iron depletion (Iron Deficiency Anemia). It is also proven that among adults there is a link between ferritin levels in the synthroidnews.net of blood and depression while there is no anemia.

Menstrual Migraine Could Be Caused by Low Iron LevelsSo, if you are among those who experience migraine at the end of their menstrual period, you may reduce or even remove the pain by taking the ferritin supplement.

Iran’s Deterrence Power Kept US from Taking Action: Top General

Major General Mohammad Baqeri said the nation’s power of deterrence emanates from the “Iranian thought and measures by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei].”

“If the US made a decision [to take action] against us after the downing of a Global Hawk drone, but stopped short of carrying out its decision under the pretext that several people would be killed [as a result of military action against Iran,] it was because of our deterrence power,” said General Bagheri, the chairman of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces.

The top commander said one of the blessings of the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran is that Iranian people have succeeded in defending the country and warding off wars despite their problems.

On June 20, the IRGC shot down the advanced US-made RQ-4 Global Hawk over Iran’s territorial waters off the coastal province of Hormozgan after the unmanned aircraft breached the country’s airspace on a spying mission.

In a statement, the IRGC said the US-made Global Hawk surveillance drone was brought down by its Air Force near the Kouh-e Mobarak region — which sits in the central district of Jask County — after the aircraft violated Iranian airspace.

Medicinal Herbs: An Effective Treatment for Migraine

Let’s talk about Migraine before going to the effects of medicinal herbs on its treatment.

What are the symptoms? 

Migraine has different symptoms such as headache, eyesight disorders, nausea, digestive disorders, sensitivity to light and sound, etc., each of which can disrupt the day-to-day lives of sufferers from migraine. Therefore, the treatment of migraine is of great significance and is regarded as a major concern for those afflicted by it. With the advancement of the pharmaceutics industry and science, it has now become possible to effectively use medicinal herbs to treat migraine.

What are the causes?

Migraine, which emanates from genetic and environmental causes, usually takes a few hours or even a few days. A disorder inside blood vessels in the brain causes the Migraine; though it is not exactly clear how. According to experts, Migraine has genetic causes in many cases. Of course, environmental factors contribute to the development or intensification of migraine. Among the factors contributing to the development of migraine are hormone changes, hunger, smelling strong perfumes, the smell of tobacco, insufficient sleep, stress, waves and light, sudden stop in taking caffeine, being in noisy places, drinking alcoholic beverages and being allergic to food.

How to prevent the pain?

You could prevent migraine pains to a great extent by avoiding the above-mentioned environmental factors. However, using the existing medications is an effective way to treat migraine. Nevertheless, taking painkillers or other migraine medicines for a long time can have harmful side effects such as sleepiness, severe headaches, depressions and vertigo. While chemical drugs have side effects, the use of herbal medicines as effective painkillers is harmless.

The role of medical herbs

In recent years, the therapeutic effects of some medicinal herbs to treat migraine have been confirmed. Some medicinal herbs have hit the market as well. One such product is the migraine spray which is made up of herbs such as lavender, violet, fennel, etc., whose therapeutic effect have been proven in clinical studies. The feverfew syrup (tanacetum) also prevents the occurrence of migraine to a great extent. Peppermint is another herb used to treat migraine. It contains menthol, which helps reduce the effects of migraine by improving blood circulation. Peppermint oil or peppermint tea can easily reduce migraine pain.

Iran Launches Plant that Builds Advanced Centrifuges on Daily Basis

On a visit to an under-construction national ion therapy center in the city of Karaj on Tuesday, Salehi said his agency has lately inaugurated a modern hall, which has the capability to produce 60 state-of-the-art centrifuges per day.

He further noted that Iran has already installed advanced IR-6 centrifuges regardless of certain states’ protest, and is currently testing a newer generation of centrifuges dubbed IR-8.

The Iranian nuclear chief hoped that the country’s ion therapy center, with an estimated construction cost of 200 million euros, would be completed and fully come on stream within the next five years.

Salehi underlined that the work on building two 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plants, which started two years ago with an estimated cost of $10 billion, will continue.

He pointed out that said Iran has never halted its peaceful nuclear program and will never do so.

“I would like to explicitly tell the people that we will continue our movement towards fulfilling our nuclear objectives and we have never stopped and will never stop in the future,” Salehi noted.

He said the AEOI used to produce 10 tons of uranium for years, while the volume stood at 30 tons last year.

Salehi emphasized that production of uranium may increase to 50 tons if the current trend continues.

Speaking in an interview with the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung on Monday, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran will take the “third step” in reducing its commitments under a 2015 multilateral nuclear deal unless the other signatories take action to protect the agreement.

The third step will be taken on September 6, Zarif said, adding that if Tehran comes to an agreement with Europe and the European side begins to implement it, it will not take such a measure.

The top Iranian diplomat lashed out at the US for unilaterally leaving the nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and pushing the European signatories to follow suit.

The Americans, he said, need to stop preventing others from fulfilling their obligations or pushing them into breaching the JCPOA.

Tehran has rowed back on its nuclear commitments twice in compliance with articles 26 and 36 of the 2015 deal.

Iran says its reciprocal measures will be reversible as soon as Europe finds practical ways to shield the Iranian economy from unilateral US sanctions which were imposed last year when President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal.

The European signatories to the JCPOA have so far failed to uphold their commitments. They have expressed vocal support for the deal, but failed to provide meaningful economic incentives as required under the nuclear agreement.

The Europeans have already missed a 60-deadline set by Tehran, prompting Iran to go for the second phase of cutting its commitments on July 7, which marked the start of a second such deadline for them.

As a first step Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile to beyond the 300 kilograms set by the JCPOA.

In the second step, Tehran began enriching uranium to purity rates beyond the JCPOA-limit of 3.76 percent.
