Iran Says Venezuela Will Foil US-Hatched Plots

Speaking after receiving the credentials of the new Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran Carlos Antonio Alcala Cordones, Rouhani said the US is against popular revolutions and independent governments and seek to stop them as part of its hegemonic policies.

“We back Mr Maduro’s legal government and believe the Venezuelan people, united with and standing by the government, will foil this plot the same way previous plots were foiled,” Rouhani said on Saturday.

Rouhani also noted that Iran would keep up developing friendly relations with Venezuela.

“In political, economic and investment fields, we will keep treading the previous path in bilateral relations,” he said.

Alcala Cordones, in turn, said his country is fighting a battle against global imperialism, and the Venezuelan people will finally emerge victorious.

Pointing to friendly relations between Iran and Venezuela in different grounds, the new ambassador said Venezuela counts on Iran’s support in its fight against imperialism.

Venezuela has been rocked by protests since Jan. 10 when President Maduro was sworn in for a second term following a vote boycotted by the opposition.

Tension climbed when Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself the acting president on Jan. 23.

‘Anti-Iran Poland Conference Sign of US Failure in Mideast’

Iran Warns E3 Will Get Response for Triggering Dispute Mechanism

Speaking to the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen channel on Saturday, Larijani said controversies surrounding the conference and contradicting statements by US and Polish officials on the agenda of the meeting show this is not a well-planned conference and is unlikely to produce tangible outcomes.

“The Warsaw conference is more like a psychological operation and they want to create [empty] grandeur for themselves,” ICANA reported him as saying, referring to the conference planned to be held in Poland mid-February.

Larijani said the US has been seeking to change Iran’s behaviour in the region, but they have failed to achieve this goal.

“The conditions of the Warsaw conference show that they have faced problems in realizing their goals and have failed to solve [their] issues in the region,” he said.

Pointing to an eight-country tour of the Middle East by US State Secretary Mike Pompeo in January and the Poland conference, Larijani said they are signs of the US weakness.

“Such moves are not signs of the US might. If Americans could do something, they wouldn’t need such trips and conferences,” he said.

 

Europe Moving Towards Independence

Larijani said the US has lost the close cooperation of its traditional allies in Europe, as they are dissatisfied by unilateral US moves, notably Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal that was taken as an insult in Europe.

The speaker said the US is seeking to create tensions among Europeans in a bid to prevent the EU measures from decreasing dependence on Washington.

However, Larijani said, Europeans have understood that their dependence on the US is highly dangerous and are determined to decrease it.

The speaker said Europeans no longer want to be highly dependent on the US, the traces of which can be seen in an announcement by some European governments that they seek to create an army, in Europe’s move to create the special financial mechanism (INSTEX) for trade with Iran, and their recent conference on the European internet.

“If Europe wants breathing room in the future, it must be able to stand on its feet in the international scene. Europeans have understood that this level of economic dependence is highly detrimental for them,” he said.

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

All newspapers on Saturday covered the European Union’s announcement of the establishment of INSTEX, a long-awaited special purpose vehicle (SPV) aimed at facilitating trade with Tehran in the face of the US sanctions.

Reformist papers cautiously welcomed the move by the EU, but conservative ones mostly downplayed the mechanism, describing it as an ineffective effort which is being made too late.

Deal with US Not Even Worth the Ink: Iran FM

“Yet another withdrawal from an accord by the Trump administration; this time the #INFTreaty. It’s not just the #JCPOA or Iran: Seems this clique is allergic to anything w/ US signature on it. Message: Any deal with US govt is not worth the ink; even treaties ratified by Congress,” Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter on Friday.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that Washington will suspend its obligations under the INF (the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) on Saturday and will withdraw from the landmark 1987 arms control accord in six months if Moscow does not end its alleged violation of the pact.

“For years, Russia has violated terms of the INF Treaty without remorse. We will provide Russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice that the United States is withdrawing from the INF Treaty effective in six months, pursuant to Article 15 of the treaty,” Pompeo said.

Russia denies violating the treaty, which bans either side from stationing short- and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe.

In a similar move in May 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the JCPOA, the nuclear deal that was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of negotiations among Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Can WordPress Really Benefit Your Business?

So many new posts are made on WordPress every second, with users taking advantage of the platform’s perks to share content and attract users to their website in an attempt to boost brand awareness and growth.

Can your business really benefit from having a WordPress website? These are some of the reasons why you should create a website immediately.

WordPress is open source and free

It has remained this way since its development in 2003, allowing users to share content and market their brand for no charge. The open source nature of WordPress allows users to change any aspect of code they would like to in order to create a customized website that meets their exact desires. If you have some technical coding skill, you can manually tweak the code to create the best site for you. If you are not sure how to go about it, you could always use plugins to set up a preferred site.

It is ready to use

Many content management systems will require additional calibration after installation that will probably affect the ease of use. If you do not understand exactly what you need in order to configure your website ideally, you could create an inefficient and unsatisfactory website. You will need to look for certain basic features, which will take a lot of time and require some skill or experience. For WordPress, you could be finished with the installation and set up within minutes. WordPress has certain necessary tools such as social media integration, comment boxes, RSS feeds and revisions embedded into its core code. It is ready to run as soon as it is finished installing.

It is flexible

No other CMS offers the flexibility of WordPress. You can customize your website to meet all your needs because the platform is the most flexible in terms of customization options. There are tens of thousands of plugins available, with a large number of themes as well. users can also make manual changes to the open source code to suit their needs, which makes it the most customizable option available. Whether you are looking to create a blog, interactive website, dedicated company social media or ecommerce site, WordPress will be compatible with all your choices.

Can Wordpress Really Benefit Your Business?

It is safe

WordPress is a popular target for malicious attackers because it is popular. They have a larger victim base to reach, since there are many users on the platform. However, attackers are not likely to be successful on websites whose owners take sufficient precautions. WordPress updates the core code regularly, helping to keep it fresh and strong against attacks. The brand takes security matters very seriously, with each release guaranteeing high levels of safety. The automatic updates helps to strengthen the code against potential attackers. If you regularly update your website and plugins, you will be safe from potential attacks. You may also need to avoid using plugins from non official and untrustworthy third party sources.

It is compatible with a multimedia variety

WordPress will be suitable for any type of content that you are interested in sharing. Whether you are using audio, image, text or video files, you can upload these onto your website easily. You can also edit your uploads through the dedicated media library page. The diverse multimedia compatibility allows users to post content that they believe will attract as many of their target audience members as possible. Different types of content are easy to upload onto your website, although larger files may cause it o be significantly slower to load, which may affect performance, user satisfaction and SEO ranking.

It is mobile friendly

From a website owner’s perspective, there is a WordPress application for mobile phones and tablets that will help you manage your website on the move. This will make it convenient to monitor your site and make posts from the comfort of your home or in collaboration with other activities. You do not have to hire WordPress developer to provide these services just because you may have less time to handle them yourself. The mobile friendliness also makes it easy for your visitors to access your site. WordPress has themes which are responsive to the mobile interface, which means that mobile phone users, who are the majority of internet visitors, can access your site easily. You will not lose out on a potentially massive customer base.

Can Wordpress Really Benefit Your Business?

WordPress will notify you as soon as any updates are available, both for the core code, and any plugins or themes used. It is also equipped with an inbuilt auto update mechanism to help boost security. The themes and plugins will alert you as soon as updates are available, making it hard to miss out on these aspects. Plugins may be used to monitor he security activity of your website, and send feedback to your email.

There are many dedicated forums and tutorials available on the internet, which will make the CMS even easier to understand, install and use. The community also includes developers, who come up with new tools and themes regularly. Aside from keeping your website looking fresh, you can hire WordPress developer to optimize your website and help improve user experience, which could increase your visibility.

“Hoveizeh has a range of over 1,350 kilometres and is used against fixed ground targets,” Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said during the unveiling ceremony.

General Hatami said the surface-to-surface missile could be quickly prepared for launch, can fly at low altitudes, and is highly accurate and explosive.

The general also noted that Iran has successfully test-fired the missile.

“The Hoveizeh cruise missile was test-fired and managed to accurately hit targets at a distance of 1,200 kilometres,” he said.

The missile was unveiled in an exhibition of Iran’s defensive achievements, which is being held ahead of the 40th anniversary of the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Iran’s missile program has made great progress in recent years, with the Iranian military developing dozens of home-grown ballistic and non-ballistic missiles.

The attack, carried out by the Jaish al-Adl terrorist group on Saturday, targeted the morning parade of IRGC forces in the city of Nikshahr, Sistan and Baluchestan province.

According to local prosecutor Mohammadi, Morteza Ali-Ahmadi has been martyred in the attack, and five others have been wounded, two of whom are in severe conditions.

The wounded have been transferred to a local hospital in Nikshahr, and efforts are underway to arrest the terrorists.

Iran Starts Ten-Day Celebrations of 40th Revolution Anniversary

By

An apparent air of triumph and perspicacity hangs in every corner, especially after hawkish US national security adviser John Bolton said in 2017 that “the Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1979 revolution will not last until its 40th birthday.”

“The outcome of the president’s policy review should be to determine that the Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1979 revolution will not last until its 40th birthday. And that’s why, before 2019, we here will celebrate in Tehran!” he told a terrorist MKO convention in Paris.

Iranians, however, are facing a dramatic rise in US pressures through tough sanctions imposed last May, which prompted Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to warn of bigger subversive American plots for 2019.

The nationwide ceremonies kicked off at 9:33 a.m. local time (0603 GMT), the time when the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini returned to the Iranian capital on February 1, 1979 after a 15-year exile in Paris.

A special ceremony is being held at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum south of Tehran, with a host of senior state and military officials as well as thousands of people from all walks of life in attendance.

Another ceremony is held at Behesht-e Zahra cemetery south of the capital, where Imam Khomeini delivered his first speech after the exile, in an address to five million people.

Similar ceremonies are held across Iran and in other parts of the world to mark the first day of the Ten-Day Dawn period.

On Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei paid respect to Imam Khomeini and Iranian martyrs in the lead-up to the Ten-Day Dawn period.

Ayatollah Khamenei visited Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum in southern Tehran, where he offered his prayers and recited verses from the Holy Qur’an.

The Leader then visited the burial ground of martyrs, where he prayed for the souls of the people who lost their lives either during the popular uprising that led to the Revolution or in the course of their struggle to uphold revolutionary values afterwards.

Ayatollah Khamenei also paid tribute to those martyred on June 28, 1981, during a bomb attack staged by the notorious US-backed Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) terror group in Tehran.

The Leader further offered prayers at the tombstones of those who lost their lives during the 1980-88 Iraq war against the Islamic Republic.

Imam Khomeini spent more than 14 years in exile, mostly in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf. He also spent some time in Turkey and France before his return to Iran.

Millions of people converged on the capital from across the country on the day of his return. His arrival gave considerable momentum to popular protests against the US-backed Pahlavi regime, which eventually led to its overthrow ten days later.

The 10-Day Dawn festivities will culminate in nationwide rallies on February 10 this year, the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

The period witnessed last-ditch efforts by the Washington-backed regime of Iran’s former monarch to hold onto power by unleashing deadly force against pro-Revolution protesters.

The entire struggle resulting in the Revolution was led by Imam Khomeini, who successfully united the people against Pahlavi oppression and dependence on the US.

Iran Congratulates Qatar on Claiming AFC Asian Cup Title

In his statement, Qassemi wished greater success for the meritorious players and coaches of the Qatari national football team.

In a match on Friday night, Qatar defeated the four-time champion Japan with a stunning 3-1 to win its first Asian title.

The pair both found the net brilliantly in an inspirational first half for Qatar, while, despite a spirited second-half display from Japan, Akram Afif added a late penalty to secure the West Asian nation’s first-ever Continental crown in spectacular fashion.

On a historic night for the Qataris, Felix Sanchez’s talented charges recorded their seventh successive victory, while Ali’s ninth strike of the competition saw him break Ali Daei’s record for the most goals by a player in a single edition of Asia’s premier event.

While there was unbridled joy for Qatar, the defeat ended Japanese hopes of claiming what would have been a record-extending fifth title.

Japan, who had Tsukasa Shiotani replacing Wataru Endo, were quick to take the game to Qatar as Yuya Osako sent a fourth minute effort wide of the target.

However, it was to be their opponents who took the lead just eight minutes later through a moment of brilliance from Ali.

The young striker received the ball from Afif before juggling the ball twice and sending a spectacular overhead kick beyond the reach of Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda to etch himself into the record books and further underline his burgeoning reputation.

Iran Congratulates Qatar on Claiming AFC Asian Cup TitleAfter their early setback, Japan looked for a quick response, but continually failed to find a way through a resolute Qatari defence that had not conceded a single goal en route to the title showdown.

With their frontline failing to shine, worse was to come for Japan on 27 minutes when yet another Akram Afif assist – his 10th of the competition – found the back from suspension Abdelaziz Hatim who curled a delightful effort into the bottom corner to double Qatar’s advantage.

Two nearly became three for Qatar shortly after, as captain Hassan Al Haydos hit the outside of a post with an angled shot following Pedro Correia’s deflected cross.

To their credit, Japan refused to buckle, and they came close to reducing the deficit on the stroke of half-time, Osako narrowly failing to apply a finishing touch to a Yuto Nagatomo cross when well-placed.

In need of a response, Japan once again started brightly, with Maya Yoshida heading over from a corner inside the first five minutes of the second period.

With the game’s pace showing no sign of relenting, Almoez Ali then skied a chance from close-range, while, at the other end, substitute Yoshinori Muto and Yoshida both flashed headers off target as the Samurai Blue continued to press.

Their persistence duly paid off on 69 minutes as Takumi Minamino reduced the deficit courtesy of a wonderful dinked finish over Qatar custodian Saad Al Sheeb after being set up by Osako.

It mattered little however, as, with eight minutes remaining, referee Ravshan Irmatov pointed to the spot following Yoshida’s handball and a subsequent VAR review. Akram Afif converted the resulting penalty with aplomb to confirm Qatar’s title.
