80 Ancient Relics Confiscated in Central Iran

The relics, including iron and pottery items, were confiscated during a car inspection by the police in Shazand.

“So far the authenticity of at least 20 antique pieces has been confirmed and our experts are studying the rest of the pieces,” said Alireza Izadi, the provincial head of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization.

Some iron and pottery pieces as well as glazed beads, thermos, bowels, bracelets and rings were among the confiscated items.

According to Izadi, the pieces date back to the Parthian dynasty in Iran (247 BCE-224 CE).

He said so far tens of fake pieces with ancient images have been spotted among the confiscated pieces. “Such items lack any historical value,” he said.

Izadi went on to say that the authentic ancient pieces reveal the ancient civilization of the region.

He also noted that at least one person has been arrested in this connection.

Iran Rejects ‘Baseless’ Accusations in Arab Leaders’ Statement

Mousavi said the Islamic Republic has no doubt that the contents of such statements don’t necessarily reflect the real stance of all members states.

The spokesman also expressed regret over Saudi Arabia’s abuse of its privilege as the host of the emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Mousavi said Saudi Arabia has made instrumental and political use of the blessing of the holy month of Ramadan as well as the holy city of Mecca to level accusations against Iran in a statement attributed to the participating delegations.

“Instead of seizing the opportunity of the International Quds Day as well as the summit of Arab and Islamic states to raise and pursue the issue of the holy Quds and the Palestinian people’s rights, Saudi Arabia has opted for the wrong approach and continued to sow division between Islamic and regional countries, which is the wish of the Zionist regime,” he said.

“We see the attempts by Saudi Arabia to rally neighbouring and Arab countries against Iran as the continuation of futile attempts by America and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic,” he added.

The spokesman finally expressed hope that Saudi Arabia’s failure to support the cause of Palestine and the wrong approach adopted by certain Islamic states of the region during the summit of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council in the holy city Mecca could be compensated.

He also called on Muslim states not to let the issue of Palestine and the holy Quds be overshadowed by such divisive policies and strategic mistakes, because it has been the long-time dream of the Zionist regime that Islamic and Arab states forget about their main and joint enemy and get involved in their internal affairs.

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Friday ratcheted up the rhetoric against arch-rival Iran, calling on Arab states to confront its “criminal” actions after attacks on oil installations sparked fears of a regional conflagration.

The king’s remarks came at the start of two back-to-back emergency summits in Mecca in the early hours, which drew near-unanimous support for the Sunni kingdom from Persian Gulf and Arab states — with the notable exception of Iraq.

The summits came after hawkish US National Security Advisor John Bolton said on Wednesday that Iran was “almost certainly” behind May 12 attacks on four ships, two of them Saudi oil tankers, off the United Arab Emirates.

Tehran dismissed the accusation as “laughable” and accused Bolton of pursuing “evil desires for chaos in the region.”

 

Iranians Pour into Streets to Mark Int’l Quds Day

The nationwide rallies are being held in over 950 cities, and are covered by over 4,000 reporters, photographers, and cameramen including 250 representatives of foreign media outlets.

Muslim people in other countries in the world also mark the day by holding massive rallies and demonstrations, condemning Israel’s violation of the Palestinian nation’s rights.

Back on Wednesday, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei stressed that participating in this year’s Quds Day rallies is much more important than previous years considering the sensitive developments in the region.

He was apparently referring to the US president’s so-called “peace plan” for Palestine, and the upcoming Bahrain conference on the economic phase of Trump’s “Deal of the Century”.

On the eve of Quds Day, Iran’s Foreign Ministry called on Islamic nations to form a united front against the plots hatched by the Israeli regime to sow discord among Muslims and divert attention from the Palestinian cause.

In a statement on Thursday, the ministry warned against a US-devised plan to be unveiled on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a related Washington-led conference in Bahrain in June, saying the plan, if implemented, will be an “eternal loss” for Palestine and a major gain for its occupiers.

“The current circumstances in Palestine and the region require Muslim nations and governments to maintain their unity, solidarity and integrity against the Zionist regime more than ever,” the statement said.

“While exercising maximum vigilance against this common enemy, Muslim countries need to resist the conspiracies [hatched] by the regime and its supporters to create division in the ranks of the Muslim Ummah and make the issue of Palestine — the top priority in the Muslim world — slip into oblivion,” the statement said.

The International Quds Day is a legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, who designated the day in solidarity with Palestinians.

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the International Quds Day has been held worldwide on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Iran to Decide How to End Possible US-Waged War: Top General

In a statement released on Wednesday ahead of the International Quds Day, Major General Baqeri said the Iranian people will once again attend massive rallies on Friday to demonstrate that the cause of Palestine and al-Quds is never-ending and the occupiers of Palestine are doomed to fail by God’s grace.

Liberation of the occupied territories and return of the displaced Palestinians will heal the wounds of the first Qibla of Muslims and revive a “mighty, independent and dignified Palestine,” he stated.

Highlighting the Islamic community’s resolve to reaffirm allegiance to the goals of Palestine in the Quds Day rallies, the general said the demonstrators are going to condemn the “occupying, fake and child-murdering Zionist regime and its regional and ultra-regional sponsors.”

He went on to say that the US ruling regime has to face the collapse of “the abortive deal of century” it is trying to impose on Palestine, stressing that the American plot will suffer the same fate as the debacles of “Greater Middle East” or “Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates”.

Pro-Palestinian people across the world are going to mark the International Quds Day on Friday, an annual event during which demonstrators express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposition to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Zionist regime of Israel.

This year’s Quds Day on the last Friday of Ramadan will be marked against a backdrop of growing anti-US and anti-Israeli sentiments among Muslims, aggravated by the White House’s push to hammer out what it calls a peace deal between Palestine and Israel, known as the “deal of century”.

According to the Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council, the knowledge-based firm’s growth surpassed all earlier predictions.

The knowledge-based firm has been involved in mass producing eco-friendly plastics over the past few years, a report by Mehr news agency said.

The plastics used for producing various types of disposable dishes, packaging and agricultural products, shopping and garbage bag enjoy good potential to replace the current plastics which are harmful to the environment.

The products are exported to Turkey, India, some of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and some others like Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Last year, the firm also unveiled new grades of its products.

Jewish MP Urges Fellow Jews to Attend Anti-Israel Quds Rallies

“This year, too, Iranian Jews see it as a national and religious duty to take part in Quds Day demonstrations, and by participating in these large rallies, they will display the solidarity of all monotheists of the world in fighting hegemony and Zionist occupiers,” he said.

“At a time when the arrogant enemy has mobilized all its power against the national interests of the dignified Iranian nation, Iranian people from all walks of life, while obeying the orders of the Supreme Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei], will chant slogans in unison and with one voice against the US and occupying Israel,” Moreh Sedgh noted.

He also noted that “we are confident that the liberation of holy Quds from the clutches of infidels and full emancipation of the heroic Palestinian nation are not far away, and that the resistance front will soon celebrate their victory.”

“I call on all monotheists, especially freedom-seeking Jews, around the world to take part in the rallies. Particularly, the turnout of open-minded Jews will reiterate their uncompromising opposition to criminal, political Zionism,” he added.

The International Quds Day is an annual event during which demonstrators express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposition to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel.

The day is seen as the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who officially declared the last Friday of Ramadan as International Quds Day back in 1979.

This year’s rallies will be held under the slogan “En Route for Quds” in the Arab countries.

Iran Condemns Bahrain’s Plan to Normalize Relations with Israel

What follows is the full text of the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s statement released on Thursday:

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The International Quds Day symbolizes the oppression against the besieged and displaced Palestinian people and their call to be emancipated from 70 years of tyranny and aggression and crimes by the usurper Zionist regime which, during the dark history of its existence, has committed different kinds of massacres, genocides and crimes against humanity in occupied holy territories of Muslims, and which, during its evil and wicked existence, has produced no other result than the displacement of millions of people, inhumane incarceration and torture of thousands of innocent people, making thousands of Palestinian children orphans, and triggering insecurity and instability in the region.

The Zionist regime has a list of crimes and anti-human rights moves in its track record, including the organized occupation of the Palestinian territory, making systematic efforts to fully Judaize Quds, destruction of the historical and civilizational identity of holy Quds, expansion of [Jewish] settlements in the West Bank, forced emigration of non-Jewish residents of Quds, depriving Palestinians of access to holy sites in the city of Quds, illegal confiscation of their landed property, destruction of their land, imposition of intense anti-human pressure on people in Gaza Strip, and denying them access to basic food, medicinal and hygienic items.

The current situation in Palestine and the region makes it all the more necessary for Muslim nations and governments to pay due regard to maintaining their unity and solidarity against the Zionist regime. While remaining extremely vigilant against this common enemy, Muslims should stand up to the conspiracies of this regime and its supporters which are aimed at creating divisions within the Islamic community and consigning the issue of Palestine as the most pressing issue of the Muslim world into oblivion. They should also prevent Israel and its backers from putting their compromise-based political machinations into force, including the so-called “Deal of the Century” initiative and holding a meeting of deception and deceit in Bahrain [where the initiative is to be unveiled] and if that happens, it will definitely be an eternal blow to Palestine and a major achievement for the usurpers of this land.

The Islamic Republic of Iran underlines the importance of Palestine as a pivotal issue in the Muslim world and the necessity of countering the Zionist regime’s occupation. Iran also believes lasting tranquility and peace will not take hold unless the oppressed Palestinian nation’s rights are fully restored by having all Palestinian refugees return and by holding a referendum in the occupied Palestinian territories with the participation of all main owners of this land.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran praises Palestinian people’s struggles aimed at liberating Palestine and calls on resistant Iranian people from all walks of life as well as all Muslims and freedom-seeking nations around the world to actively participate, like previous years, in rallies marking International Quds Day.

Iran Develops Homegrown Waste-to-Energy Machine

By
IFP Editorial Staff

The CEO of the firm in the central province of Isfahan said the new machine is capable of turning wet trash into three solid, liquid and gas fertilizers that can be used in turn to produce electricity.

“The new machine has been designed in three 1, 3 and 5-tonne classes which can be used for various academic and military purposes, among others, he was quoted as saying in an interview with Mehr news agency.

He said the new machine will be used mainly in villages because most of the trash produced in the villages are “wet” as they come from livestock centres.

“There are many foreign versions of the machine but this is the first time that an Iranian firm has achieved the technical know-how to produce such a machine and we are going to mass produce it.”

Elaborating on the function of the machine, he said the trash are usually buried in a certain area. “Then, an x-ray material is injected into the burial place, activating some especial bacteria which turn the wet trash into solid, liquid and gas fertilizers for producing electricity.”

According to the CEO, the process desulfurizes H2S gas before it is used to produce electricity.

Given the fact that Iran is among the countries that generate high amounts of waste, the new machine is expected to prove helpful in a wide range of fields.

Iran Congratulates Barzani on Election as KRG President

Iran Congratulates Barzani on Election as KRG President

In a phone conversation on Wednesday, the Iranian top diplomat also wished success for Barzani and the people of the Kurdistan region.

The Iraqi Kurdish parliament elected Barzani, the nephew and son-in-law of veteran leader Masoud Barzani, as president of the autonomous region on Tuesday.

The deputy leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) won 68 votes from the 81 members present in the 111-seat chamber.

Last year, the KDP emerged as the largest bloc in the parliament following the September 30 election with 45 seats.

The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) of late Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, a bitter rival of the powerful Barzani clan, had called for a boycott of the vote, along with the New Generation Movement.

Nechirvan is the second person to hold the office of president. It was occupied by his uncle from its creation in 2005 until late 2017, when he quit following an independence referendum opposed by Baghdad.

The younger Barzani, who was born in northern Iraq in 1966 but spent part of his life in Iran, speaks fluent Kurdish, Persian and English.

In 1996, five years after the region won autonomy in the face of a brutal campaign of repression by Saddam Hussein, he became vice prime minister, then head of the government in 1999.

The Kurdish region of northern Iraq was deeply split, with its Sulaimaniyah province remaining under a rival authority run by Talabani’s PUK.

When the two camps decided to reunite the region under a unity government in 2006, Masoud was chosen to head it.

Barham Salih, a senior PUK leader who is today president of Iraq, later took up the post, but the younger Barzani was reinstated in 2012.
