US Sanctions ‘Crime against Humanity’: Iran President

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-
Iran’s President

“It’s been over one year that Iranian people are under pressures because of unjust sanctions. These sanctions are in fact economic terrorism and crime against humanity because they are indiscriminately targeting everyone, even patients,” Rouhani said Wednesday.

“The people of Iran have withstood and resisted these sanctions well,” he added, speaking to reporters on the occasion of National Journalists’ Day.

Later in the day, Rouhani told another gathering that “the government is doing its best to improve people’s lives and living. The government has limited power, but people’s patience and greatness is unlimited.”

Addressing a ceremony in Tehran, Rouhani said “today’s conditions are very tough because of the unprecedented sanctions and pressures of the enemies of the Iranian nation.”

“Fortunately, with thoughtful measures and people’s resistance, the intentions of our enemies have not been met.”

“From all the messages we receive directly or indirectly and from the political movements we are witnessing in the region and around the world, it is understood that the United States is completely disappointed at breaking or changing Iran’s high aspirations and independence,” he noted.

Rouhani said that Iranians have gone through very difficult conditions last year and this year because of the cruel sanctions and economic war of the United States.

“The Iranian people showed their enemies that they had high patience and resistance in the face of problems.”

The President stated that by faith in the grace and power of God we can withstand the pressure of our enemies and achieve victory.

“The talent of the faithful and believing servants of God will flourish in hard times and we can withstand these difficult conditions, changing them into opportunities.”

Exclusive: Top Diplomats Condemn US Sanctions against FM Zarif

By

In the statement, a copy of which was sent to the Iran Front Page by one of the senior diplomats* on Wednesday, the signatories call on their fellows and colleagues in other countries to show the necessary reaction to such unilateral moves by the US.

They have also warned about the repercussions of a possible war, saying that the consequences would engulf the whole world.

The full text of the statement is as follows:

The United States has put on its list of unilateral and unfair sanctions the name of Dr. Mohammad Javad Zarif, an “efficient” and “responsible” minister in charge of the foreign affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Although this move by the US government has not been the first, and will not be the last injudicious step taken by the politicians of this country against Iran, and the Iranian government and nation know well how to respond to these wicked moves, we, as professional diplomats, would like to draw the attention of the Iranian general public and elite, international public opinion and our colleagues in the global diplomatic community to a few points.

1- The imposition of sanctions on Zarif is a big mistake by the US government which shows the evil “B-Team” has held US diplomacy and global politics to ransom and, despite a tremendous rise in the costs of the US foreign policy, has failed to secure any achievements in the cases of its interest. So, the group has had no option by to resort to abnormal behaviour, which will have no outcome other than further discrediting the United States.

2- The imposition of sanctions on Zarif amounts to imposing sanctions on diplomacy and shows “B-Team,” in order to achieve its illegitimate objectives, considers no value for diplomacy, which is the most obvious norm accepted by the international community.

Both in Iran and around the world, Zarif is recognized as the powerful voice of the peace-loving and civilization-building Iranian nation, and the person responsible for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign policy based on dialogue, understanding and multilateralism, and any effort to silence this voice is regarded as a declaration of war.

Although the Iranian nation has, throughout history, proven that it defends itself against the aggressor and hawkish enemy with unique unity, we ask all international organization and figures and our peer diplomats across the globe to show the necessary reaction to such unilateral moves by the US in a bid to stave off the wickedness of “B-Team” in imposing a war whose repercussions and consequences would engulf the whole world.

3- Sanctions are regarded as a tool of war which is dangerous to the whole world, and spreading the sphere of sanctions from economic terrorism to political terror, the latest manifestation of which is the sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign minister, shows the US diplomacy is wavering between the two options of “withdrawing from international agreements” and “unilateral sanctions” by ignoring regular diplomatic tools. Sanctions turning into the United States’ main diplomacy tool is a dangerous precedent in international politics, which can make different countries fall victim to the United States’ acquisitiveness and unilateralism. Accordingly, countering the United States’ unilateral sanctions as well as political and economic terrorism is an unavoidable necessity for the victory of diplomacy versus war as well as multilateralism versus unilateralism.

4- The policy of sanctions will not settle the US government’s alleged problems and challenges and will be counterproductive. The relentless spread of the domain of sanctions against the Iranian nation shows the evil “B-Team”, after the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, has brought the US diplomacy to a deadlock, and has to turn to abnormal behaviour in order to get rid of it. The Islamic Republic of Iran has reiterated time and again that it has no problem with the American nation. Zarif, who is a professional diplomat, has frequently mentioned the right path for the US government to make up for its mistakes as well as hostile and hegemonic behaviour against the Iranian nation. He has stressed the only way is to have interaction with and show respect for the great Iranian nation and its legitimate rights and interests.

Iran Urges India-Pakistan Dialogue over Kashmir Dispute

Iran Vows to Take Action against US Move to End Nuclear Sanctions Waiver

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is closely following up on the Indian government’s latest decisions regarding Jammu and Kashmir as well as the explanations provided by Indian and Pakistani officials on the developments unfolding in the region,” Mousavi said in a Wednesday statement.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran expects India and Pakistan – as its regional friends and partners – to adopt peaceful methods and dialogue to take effective steps in order to protect the interests of regional people,” he added.

On Tuesday, the lower house of the Indian parliament approved a controversial bill that strips the Indian-administered portion of Kashmir of its autonomous status.

The bill, which had already passed the upper house of India’s parliament, needs to be signed into law by President Ram Nath Kovind.

The measure had been introduced earlier this week by the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which announced that it was revoking Article 370, a constitutional provision that grants special status to Kashmir.

Kashmir has been split between India and Pakistan since partition in 1947. Both countries claim all of Kashmir and have fought three wars over the territory.

Saw Your Critic into Pieces and Still Enjoy US Support: Iran

In an apparent reference to the Saudi crown prince’s mutilation of his critic Jamal Kashoggi, Mohammd Javad Zarif said any wrong move by countries will be condoned if they have friendly ties with major powers.

“If you have cordial ties with a power centre, all of your moves are justifiable and all of your actions can be justified, forgiven and even supported,” said the top diplomat at a meeting in Tehran commemorating World Human Rights Day.

“If you saw a person into pieces, still you can benefit from the biggest military agreements. If you use chemical weapons against people of a country, still you will not only continue to receive more chemical arms, but other weapons as well, and the other side in front of you which has come under aggression does not even receive defense tools,” he said.

“But if the following day the same individual attacks another country which is located somewhere else in the circle of international relations, that individual suddenly changes from an ally to an enemy and they spend $7 trillion to crack down on and topple that individual,” Zarif added.

He mentioned former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein as a case in point.

“One day, Saddam Hussein’s regime turns into one of the key supporters of an anti-Iran human rights resolution, and the day following [Iraq’s] attack on Kuwait, Saddam Hussein’s regime becomes the subject of human rights … and turns into a major rights violator,” the foreign minister added.

He also mentioned the Israeli regime as another example of a US ally whose actions are all condoned and justified.

Staged Photos Depict Hard-to-Believe Iranian Myths

The Bakhtiaris are a southwestern Iranian tribe. They speak the Bakhtiari dialect, a southwestern Iranian dialect, belonging to the Lurish language.

Bakhtiaris primarily inhabit Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and eastern Khuzestan, Lorestan, Bushehr, and Isfahan provinces. In Khuzestan, Bakhtiari tribes are concentrated primarily in the eastern part of the province in the cities of Masjed Soleyman and Andika.

A small percentage of Bakhtiari are still nomadic pastoralists, migrating between summer quarters and winter quarters. Numerical estimates of their total population vary widely.

The Bakhtiari tribesmen have lived in the rugged mountains and crossed the burning deserts of Khuzestan at a time when there was no modern-day means of communication and no one could answer questions about unfamiliar events. Therefore, they have overcome the environment and unanswered questions through myths and motifs.

The following photo collection, created by Maryam Al-e Momen and published on IRNA, is aimed at portraying some of these folk legends.

Al (demon of childbirth) is a wrinkled old woman carrying a basket containing a pregnant woman’s liver. In the past, due to insufficient health and medical care, when a pregnant woman died of an infection or bleeding, people would blame it on a creature dubbed Al and do things to get rid of her.

Merdozma is an evil and cunning creature that appears in the form of humans and domestic animals (sheep, cows, dogs, horses, etc.) and tries to drag them into a valley at the ripe time. It seizes the opportunity to surprise them and push them into the valley or kill them in a battle. It is believed that few people have survived in the fight. They believe that Merdozma is behind the deaths of people who died in the hot and burning mountains and valleys of Khuzestan.

The myth of Mah Titi is the story of a girl who escapes to the mountain with six other girls because of poverty and her stepmother’s plots. There, they meet a cunning old man who intends to eat them; but with the help of a witty orphaned girl all the girls are rescued. Mah Titi fairy tale is a lesson for girls who have to live in the mountains and face the potential dangers.

The legend of the Yellow Calf is the story of a girl, who is deceived by a cunning woman and causes her mother to die. The woman deceives the girl’s father to marry her. The girl has many problems with her stepmother. However, the soul of her mother, who always protests the girl, sends her a yellow calf.

Tips to Capture the Photos of Moving Objects

By
IFP Media Wire
-

As long as the title “Capturing the Photos of Moving Objects” is concerned, I will tell you some very basic tips. However, being basic doesn’t mean these are not effective. Here I will tell you tools and techniques of capturing moving objects in slow or fast speed. By following these points and practicing every day, you will surely be able to capture the Photos of Moving Objects with perfection:

Taking Photos of Fast-Moving Objects:

If objects are moving fast such as Kangaroo jumping, lion running, a bird flapping, or a fish diving, you need to use following four tips to get a perfect photo. These tips are extremely beneficial when it comes to doing natural photography.

1. Take Care of the Shutter Speed:

Shutter speed is the thing that allows fastest focus to capture objects. Some of the mobile phone cameras have extremely low shutter speed hence the pictures feel blue or ghostlike when captured with such device. For fast moving subjects, the shutter speed needs to be 1/500 on per second basis. Later, when the capturing thing is done, you will have to edit photos by using retouchme photo app to enhance the brightness of your objects. This is because high shutter speed often results limiting the amount of light and unexposed photographs if you will not edit photos.

2. Enhancing the Aperture:

Aperture is the image sensor; it is a hole from where light enters the camera for moving fast. The enhanced aperture allows you tackle the low brightness of objects that has appeared due to fast shutter speed. The problem here will be with the depth of your photos. Again, you will have to choose the option to edit photos in order to maintain its depth and your creative level. Retouchme photo app is one of the best apps in the world that allows you to edit images for depth and color quality.

3. Don’t Forget About Flash:

If you are doing indoor or night shoots, you will have to provide artificial lighting to your photo. You will have to use a separate flash light for moving objects in order to maintain its resolution, depth, and to expose the objects in photographs. In this way, you can focus less to edit photos because everything will be maintained.

4. Camera with High ISO:

This is an expensive thing but it can give you extremely professional shots ant that also without using a photo app to edit photos. High ISO doesn’t let the shutter speed lessen the brightness neither it allows aperture to finish the depth of images. However, editing is still required because no professional images can be taken unless you edit photos to remove its problems.

Taking Photos of Slow-Moving Objects by Panning:

For slow moving objects, please follow the follow the following points:

1. Slow Shutter Speed:

As the object is moving slowly and you need to capture it, the shutter speed needs to be slow or else you will get only the shadow of moving object or captured in a way that it won’t look moving at all. Therefore, you will have to use slow shutter speed.

2. Choosing the Best Backgrounds:

In fast moving objects the background is often blue or totally washed out. However, when object to focus is moving slowly, the rest of the objects in the background will also be moving but at a fast speed according to laws of motion of physics. Therefore, the background is focused even in a blur way. Therefore, you will have to choose a good background for your images. If you don’t have it, don’t worry, you can add multiple backgrounds in your photos while editing them with retouchme photo app.

3. Set the Focus in Advance:

As everything in the background and foreground is moving, hence you will have to focus the object you intend to focus in advance. Without focus picture will lose its depth and the fee. You will have to convey to the viewers the actual idea of your photo. You can edit photos with retouchme to enhance the focus of the focused object and make background blur.

4. Release Shutter Gently:

All with this the technique is to release the shutter gently. As you require a slow shutter speed so if you will release the shutter quickly, the focus from the focused object can be diverted. Therefore, you will have to release the shutter gently so that the camera gets enough time to capture and focus the slow-moving object.

Hopefully, these tips will come handy when it comes to capturing the Photos of Moving Objects.

Zarif Condoles with India over His Former Counterpart’s Death

In a tweet early Wednesday, Zarif sent his “deepest condolences” to the government and the people of India on the passing of former External Affairs Minister.

“I had many fruitful and useful discussions with her while she held office, and am saddened by her sudden passing,” he said.

“May she forever rest in peace.”

Swaraj, who served as foreign minister for five years, suffered a cardiac arrest on Tuesday, the Press Trust of India said.

She was a popular minister in Narendra Modi’s first term as prime minister, but did not contest parliamentary elections earlier this year.

She became known for helping Indians stuck abroad by responding to them on Twitter.

Swaraj, 67, had been suffering from poor health and had a kidney transplant in 2016.

The news of her death prompted an outpouring of grief and condolences both from fellow politicians and from Indians across the globe.

“A glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end,” Prime Minster Narendra Modi said on Twitter.

“India grieves the demise of a remarkable leader who devoted her life to public service and bettering lives of the poor. Sushma Swaraj Ji was one of her kind, who was a source of inspiration,” he said.

Zarif: US Targeting Civilians Decades after Hiroshima Bombing

“74 years after US became first & ONLY regime to deploy a nuclear weapon -on a city, designed to maximize casualties- it is STILL targeting civilians,” Zarif said in a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday, the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima by the US in 1945.

The Iranian foreign minister said the US government is still targeting civilians “with Economic Terrorism, violating a historic nuclear deal, and punishing those who seek to adhere to it.”

In May 2018, the US administration withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which had been achieved in July 2015 after lengthy talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of states comprising the US, the UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany.

The US president has also re-imposed the unilateral sanctions against Iran in a move described by Zarif as economic terrorism.

Iran, France Urge Maritime Security in Region

In a telephone conversation on Tuesday evening, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron discussed a range of issues, from the 2015 nuclear deal to the collective efforts for de-escalation of regional tensions.

“Sadly, while Iran and France are trying to reduce the tensions and pave the way for sustainable coexistence in the region, we are witnessing provocative measures by the Americans,” President Rouhani said in the telephone conversation.

Iran emphasizes the need for the security and freedom of shipping in the region and the Strait of Hormuz, the president underlined, noting, “Everyday, tens of vessels travel (through the Hormuz Strait) freely, and Iran’s forces do their monitoring job according to the regulations.”

President Rouhani also described as “positive and a step forward” the negotiations that have been held in recent months to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, reiterating that Iran has reduced certain commitments to the JCPOA in order to secure its interests under the nuclear deal and force the other parties to honor their commitments and solidify the agreement.

The Iranian president then stressed the need for the efforts to expedite the process of Iran’s oil and banking trade with the other nations, describing it as Tehran’s overriding economic right under the JCPOA.

He also called for continued efforts to weight up plans for achieving expert and fair solutions for the fulfillment of Iran’s economic interests.

“The promotion of interaction and cooperation between Iran and Europe could create a calm and assuring atmosphere for the region and the world, and France, as an old partner of Iran in the European Union, can play a constructive role in this regard,” President Rouhani added.

Macron, for his part, reaffirmed France’s commitment to the JCPOA, saying Paris believes it is important to achieve a result that would be agreed on by all parties and would fulfill Iran’s interests under the JCPOA.

The French leader also welcomed the Iranian president’s proposal for consultations between the Iranian and French experts and officials to reach suitable solutions to various regional and international problems, and called for the expansion of cooperation between Tehran and Paris.

The two presidents have held at least four telephone conversations in the past few weeks.

France was the first country to contact the Islamic Republic following Tehran’s May 8 decision to reduce some of its JCPOA commitments in reaction to the US withdrawal from the deal and Europe’s failure to live up to its commitments under the deal.

There were talks of a plan shared with Iran by President Macron, known as “freeze for freeze”, based on which Iran would stop its nuclear decision and the US would lift its nuclear-related sanctions against Iran. However, Iranian officials did not explicitly confirm receiving such an offer.
