Iran Condemns Saudi, Bahrain’s Support for Blacklisting IRGC

In a Wednesday statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi lashed out at Bahrain and Saudi Arabia for welcoming and supporting the US move against the IRGC adding that the inept and unwise positions of these two countries are in contravention of the principles of non-interference and respect for the sovereignty of other countries.

Qassemi described the Saudi and Bahraini positions as a despicable and passive acclamation of the US-backed anti-Iran measures, noting that the positions expressed by the two countries indicate their short-sightedness and lack of a true understanding of the realities of the region.

“It also shows they are not aware of the consequences of the US’ adventurism and strategic mistake for the stability and security of the region,” he maintained.

“Some countries in the region are accustomed to blindly agreeing with what their trans-regional bosses say. These countries themselves are the main propagators of the doctrines and ideas of terrorism in the region and the world, and have not missed any opportunity to help and support terrorist groups in recent decades.”

Qassemi said these countries have made undeniable investment in training terrorists and “are not in a position to express their stances against the Islamic Republic of Iran by playing a deceitful role.”

“Undoubtedly, they will fail to hide behind such worthless stances and deflect the world’s attention away from their responsibility in promoting terrorism across the region and the world,” he added.

US Forces in Iraq Tighten Security Measures after Iran Warning

An Iraqi source says that any escalation between Washington and Baghdad could be felt in Baghdad, and Iraqi forces in Anbar, Baghdad and Saladin bases have reported that Americans are intensifying security measures around barracks.

The reports came after Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces vowed that Iran will not remain silent over the unwise decision made by the US government.

Major General Mohammad Baqeri said if the US forces in the Western Asia do anything wrong, Iran will firmly respond, Fars News Agency reported.

He said Washington’s move shows the US government’s weakness and desperation in dealing with this lawful and popular organisation.

Following Trump’s Monday announcement, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran officially designated the US regime a “State Sponsor of Terrorism” and its Central Command (CENTOM) a “terrorist organization”.

‘US Sanctions Depriving Iranians of Right to Development’

In an address to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum in Geneva on Tuesday, Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi said the unilateral sanctions imposed on certain states is a prime example of human rights violation and serves as an impediment to sustainable development.

“So, the international community needs a mechanism to prevent certain states from using their development technologies as a tool to impose their will on others,” he said.

Azari Jahromi added the current sanctions imposed by the US on Iran deprive Iranian citizens of receiving services provided by the global suppliers. “This hampers the Iranians’ investments in the IT area and impedes their online businesses,” he said.

He then expressed Iran’s readiness to establish cooperation with all members of the international community particularly its regional neighbours to prepare the ground for further business to business (b2b) and business to customer (b2c) communications in Western Asia and beyond.

He also added that despite all challenges, the Islamic Republic is determined to press ahead with its projects.

The minister then said sustainable development deals with a responsible and efficient government and added through developing electronic government, the Islamic Republic has been seeking to establish accessible, efficient, transparent and responsible entities in public sector.

“At present, Iran offers electronic services in 201 public sectors and 734 specialized electronic services in various areas from judiciary to agriculture, health and culture,” he noted.

According to the Iranian minister, 44 government bodies including the Central Bank, Police and so on offer GSB services.

He then maintained that peace and sustainable development are interconnected and that closing our eyes to each of them will lead to insecurity in the world.

World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum is a global United Nations (UN) multi-stakeholder platform facilitating the implementation of the WSIS Action Lines for advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It provides an opportunity for information exchange, knowledge creation and sharing of best practices, while identifying emerging trends and fostering partnerships, taking into account the evolving Information and Knowledge Societies.

World Will Never Forget Zionists’ Crime In Deir Yassin: Iran

In a Tuesday statement on the anniversary of the 1948 massacre in Deir Yassin village, Qassemi said the shallow foundation of the Zionist regime is based on violence, aggression and terror.

“To press ahead with its inhumane expansionist goals, the Zionist regime – the murderer of the innocents – resorts to lots of hypocritical plots,” he added.

The spokesman said the terrorist nature of the Zionist regime is based on massacre of defenceless people and innocent civilians.

“To kill its opposition figures, the regime has gone beyond overt terrorism, clinging to covert terrorism. The regime feeds on stigmatization and defamation of resistance [forces] in addition to physical assassination,” he said.

According to the spokesman, the Israelis try in vain to create a thin shell of security and peace for themselves by pinning the blame on others and forgetting their nasty history dotted with terror, aggression and looting.

“But they are unaware that throughout history, no violence has survived forever and sooner or later, the blood of the oppressed people shed unjustly will put a curse on the infanticidal regime,” he said.

Qassemi said the massacre of the Palestinians in Deir Yassin village by the terrorist Zionists in April 1948 serves as an example of the violence of the [Zionist] killers.

“Each year, on April 9, the world’s freedom-seekers mark the memory of all martyrs of Deir Yassin massacre,” he said.

The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 men from the Zionist paramilitary groups Irgun and Lehi attacked Deir Yassin, a Palestinian Arab village of roughly 600 people near al-Quds.

The assault occurred as the militia sought to relieve the blockade of al-Quds during the civil war that preceded the end of British rule in Palestine.

US Must Open Its Eyes to Iran’s Realities: Qassemi

In an opinion piece published on ISNA on Tuesday, Qassemi slammed Washington for ignoring the realities of Iran and continuing its hostile measures against the Iranian nation.

“Is it possible to talk of building bridges of communication but at the same time destroy all the bridges behind and ahead?” Qassemi asked.

“Almost all US presidents, each with his own language and gesture and through similar or different rhetoric, have talked of the need to establish a bridge of communication with the Iranian people; but behind this false mask, they have not only refrained from taking any step to repair the broken bridges and end the [Iranian people’s] historical mistrust but have also closed all the by-ways that could lead to mutual understanding between the two nations and in numerous cases, have even soight to destroy, sanction and threaten Iran,” he noted.

Qassemi went on to say that the US presidents speak of the need for dialogue and negotiation while, despite their numerous claims and gestures of democracy, they resisted the Iranian nation’s demands for transformation and independence.

“They cut their political and trade ties with the Islamic Republic unilaterally, desperately and out of fear,” he said.

The spokesman said that Iran has never cut its political and trade ties with any side except for the racist Zionist regime and South Africa (which was at the time grappling with the bloody and discriminatory paws of Apartheid).

The US severance of ties came as the dark memory of the 1953 coup was still fresh, painful and annoying in the minds of Iranians, he noted.

Qassemi said as confirmed in all original and honest accounts of the contemporary historians, the US was always the biggest ally and supporter of the former anti-people establishment in Iran and overthrew a democratically-elected government in Iran despite its apparent support for the Iranian nation.

“Instead of making efforts to compensate for their mistakes in the past and alleviate the sufferings of Iranian people, the American officials persist in taking ambitious paths and trying to restore their lost domination [in Iran],” he said.

The spokesman noted the US officials claim to be friends of the Iranian people, but that claim is tainted with accusations, threats and sanctions.

“Over the past 39 years, Iran’s independent and honourable nation has been bombarded with deluges of accusations and sanctions.”

“And today, after so many years and on the anniversary of the day when Americans killed those cruel relations over their hatred of the public uprising of the freedom-seeking nation of Iran, the US has adopted a hasty measure, deeply rooted in its outrage at the defeats of the terrorist groups it trained and sponsored in the region, to sanction a major section of Iran’s establishment, government and brave men who have whole-heartedly defended Iran’s territory and authority against the US-sponsored terrorism and inflicted a humiliating defeat on them through their iron will,” he said.

Qassemi described the US blacklisting of IRGC as another step taken by the US officials out of their long-time fear, hatred and hostility.

“Today, right on this day [anniversary of severance of Iran-US ties], the hollow and talkative pseudo-saint, Brian Hook, has once again clumsily made good wishes for Iranians and talked of his country’s interest in establishing ties with Iran.”

He dismissed Hook’s remarks as too deceptive and hypocritical and said, “Wise people once again raise this question that, isn’t it the time for the US to widely open its eyes to see Iran’s realities?”

4 Ways to Improve Yourself in College

By

One of the hardest things I had gone through while in college was to find someone who can help me write an essay. That, however, does not mean that I did not have any other struggles like regulars students do.

Surviving college life is not easy because you need to ensure that you graduate. While you are likely to meet different kinds of people, it is imperative that you never forget who you are. More so, you should know that nothing is more important in college than making sure that you have perfectly balanced your academics and the fun using these tips.

It is ok to get help

One problem that many students have is the fear of being seen as stupid. This is the kind of mindset that is wrong especially in a learning environment. College comes with piles of work, essays to write and research to do. All this work can be too much to handle especially if you need to meet deadlines. Added to preparing for examinations, your life can be unbearable. Thankfully, you can today offload some of the pressure to online companies that offer essay writing services. This is the kind of help that does not deny you anything; instead gives you a chance to score a better grade.

The reason why online essay writing companies are becoming so popular is that it is discreet; hence other students will not be able to judge you. It is also important to know that the fact that you are hiring essay writing services does not mean that you don’t understand the unit. Sometimes it is okay to designate.

Don’t have all the fun

When most students join college, they have one thing in their mind; partying and visiting all the night clubs in the city and of course drugs. While it can be assumed that this is all part of college life, you need to set limits. The moment you sink your head into having fun, you will not have the time to do anything else and your graduation may take longer than you thought. There are so many college students who got addicted to the fun when they started college, but with time, they came to realize that there is more at stake. Nothing is different with you.

You can put more time into studies and other academic-related activities. Also, you should be careful what fun means to you in college. You might find reading your type of fun thing to do but still, don’t do it so much while in college because work without play is dangerous as you know it.

Choose your friends carefully

Friends are the most critical part of your college life because they determine how your experience in school will be and how it will end up. A student that is focused on their grade will find it hard to hang out with students who are more into club life. Funnily enough, it happens in college to the extent that one side influences the other.

Also, your friends can be the reason why you can never reach your full potential in your academics. Never forget that what you discuss and do while out on class has a significant reflection on your results. You can always change friends in college and find better ones with the same goals as you.

Be nice to your lecturer

Students today will want to walk in and out of class without being noticed by the lecturer mostly because they perform poorly at that particular unit. What they don’t understand is, they are hiding away from the only help available around them. Being close to your lecturer will give them the notion that you are interested in their subject, but you are just weak in it. They can then device better ways of coaching you if you let them.

Conclusion

To survive in college, you must always ensure that you have your guard up. Getting good grades and living a regular student’s life can only be easy if you want to be a real student and do what good students do. The only problem with students today is that they know exactly what to do to improve their lives in college, but very few manage to do it.

Two States Would’ve Fallen to ISIS without IRGC, Rouhani Tells Macron

By

Hassan Rouhani - President of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The Iranian president made the remarks in a Tuesday phone conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, in reaction to the recent move by the US to designate the IRGC a “terrorist organization”.

Rouhani described the move as a “very provocative, dangerous, and unprecedented” one in the history of international relations, and said it was made at the request of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as explicitly admitted by him.

“Without the sacrifices made by the IRGC forces, at least two regional states would have fallen to the ISIS terrorist group by now,” the Iranian president said.

“Through their sacrifices and efforts, the IRGC forces dealt a heavy blow to the ISIS and other terrorist groups in the region,” he noted.

Rouhani’s comments came after Trump on Monday released a statement designating the IRGC “a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.”

In reaction to the designation, Iran labeled the US CENTCOM as a terrorist organization, and threatened that US forces in the region would not have calm anymore.

Rouhani, however, told Macron on Tuesday that the Iranian government is resolved to protect regional security and prevent tensions from growing.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian president referred to the Iran nuclear deal and Europe’s commitments under the 2015 accord, saying that both sides of the important deal must fully implement their obligations, so that Iran would be able to reap the legitimate economic benefits of JCPOA.

“Despite living up to its commitments, Iran has yet to see any considerable practical move by the other side,” he added, highlighting 14 reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency confirming Iran’s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

He also called for accelerated and effective implementation of the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) introduced by Europe within the frameworks enshrined in the agreement.

Macron, for his part, once again underlined that Paris and its European partners are seriously pursuing the implementation of all their commitments under the deal.

“France is closely monitoring the regional developments, and will do its best to secure Iran’s interests under the JCPOA,” he said.

France and its other European partners will do their utmost to encourage the US to moderate sanctions against Iran, Macron said, highlighting the “highly significant” role of Russia and China in this area.

He also expressed sympathy with the Iranian nation and government, particularly the families of the flood victims, saying that his country decides to dispatch humanitarian aid to the people affected.

Heavy floods have affected at least 23 of the country’s 31 provinces since heavy downpours began on March 19, killing over 70 people so far.

Major floods have been reported in the provinces of Golestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, Kordestan, Ilam, Lorestan, Fars, Northern Khorasan, Kermanshah, Khuzestan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad as well as Sistan and Baluchestan.

Historical Wall in Northern Iran Resistant to Devastating Floods

“Some stretches of the Historical Wall of Gorgan in Gomishan and Aq-Qala areas are still under water, but this historical wall is not facing the threat of possible destruction as the water [which has inundated it] keeps flowing,” said Ebrahim Karimi, the director general of the provincial Cultural Heritage Department.

The Great Wall of Gorgan

Speaking in an interview with ISNA, he said provincial protection units have been deployed along the wall. He added the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps is constructing a canal to direct water toward the sea.

“Based on the arrangements made, the path of the canal does not run from under the wall, and this means the wall is fortunately facing no threat of destruction,” he stated.

Another official has also weighed in on the issue.

“The Gorgan Wall runs parallel with the Gorganrood River. In its western part, the wall is almost level with the ground. So, the wall is not that high,” said Jebrail Nokandeh, who is in charge of archaeological research on the Historical Wall of Gorgan.

He said the wall goes back to the Sassanid era and used to have a moat with a width of 30 metres.

“After all, all sites had moats during the Sassanid era,” he noted.

This archaeologist said the wall was, in fact, a system to contain floods.

He noted parts of the wall runs across the river bed, and some parts lie under the ground.

“The wall is under the ground in Gomishan area as well, and almost no brick can be seen on the surface,” he said.

He added there used to be castle-cities on the Gorgan plain, and that no one lost their lives when floods hit those castle-cities as they had minor and major canals as well as moats, which kept water from getting in.

He said there is also a water canal in the north of Aqqola going back to the Sassanid era.

Meanwhile, experts say the wall should not remain under water for long.

Historical Wall in Northern Iran Resistant to Devastating Floods“If the Gorgan wall remains under water for a long time, that will affect the wall’s architecture. However, mainly the moat next to the wall has been filled with water so far, and the moat has not been affected,” said Hamid Omrani, the director of a cultural heritage office charged with protecting the Gorgan wall.

He said a 40-kilometre stretch of the wall has been deluged, and roughly 70 to 80 kilometres of the wall have been affected. According to him, parts of the moats, wall and associated castles are also being threatened by water in some parts.

However, the wall could serve as a perfect barrier to hinder the flow of the recent deluges.

The accomplishments are in various fields and industries including exploration, fuel cycle, technical issues, laser development, power plants, extraction and therapy.
