A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

The top story in Iranian papers today was the remarks made by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani about the heavy costs of Iran’s failure to adopt the standards set by global anti-money laundering body, Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The remarks were widely criticized by conservative media, which argued the previous deal, JCPOA, did not lead to what Rouhani had promised, and his new promises – that FATF will make people’s lives less costly – won’t be realized either.

The ongoing protests in France also remained a top story, with conservative media blasting the Iranian Foreign Ministry for keeping silent over the violence.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:

Old Rituals Inseparable Part of Wedding Ceremonies in Kalat

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Kalat, a county near the city of Sabzevar, has its old history and customs, including special traditions for weddings.

Wedding ceremonies in Kalat traditionally take three days; however, today some of the old customs are no longer performed.

The first night of the wedding ceremony is called “consultations night” in which the bridegroom’s relatives come together to assign works.

The second night is the hana-bandan, where local musicians perform music and dance, and bring henna to the bride’s house. The bride and groom’s best men dye their hands with henna.

The wedding ceremony is held on the third day. The bride rides a mare while a four or five-year-old boy walks before them. This is to wish their first child would be a boy.

The bride stands near the groom’s house, and the bridegroom, who rides on his own horse throws a pomegranate, or dances with a pomegranate in his hand and then gives it to the bride.

What follows are photos of the ceremony retrieved from Mizan Online:

Iran Rejects GCC’s Claims, Raps Its Unconstructive Approach

By

Bahram Qassemi

“Unfortunately, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council seems to be influenced by the wrong and destructive policies and behaviours of some of its member states. The council has turned into a platform for expressing positions that are in line with the past miscalculations and wrong policies,” the Ministry’s Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said in a statement on Monday.

The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council can resolve misunderstandings and internal and external disputes by taking a logical approach independent of its capacity, noted Qassemi.

“However, it not only has not taken such an approach, but also shamefully praises the divisive policies of some transnational countries,” he noted.

“In practice, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council has turned into a front for proclaiming the policies of a few of its members, and takes stances at the expense and in the name of all members, which do not help regional peace and stability in any way,” he added.

Iran believes that the positions expressed in the final communiqué of the Riyadh summit do not necessarily reflect the stance of all its members, he said.

Qassemi said Saudi Arabia’s failure to achieve its goals at the summit can be seen in the contradiction between the text of the Council’s final communiqué and the practical approach of some of its members towards Iran.

“Some members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council have always had a clear understanding of the realities of the region, the requirements of good neighbourliness, and Iran’s policy towards its neighbours. These members have always been pioneers in clearing up misunderstandings.”

Qassemi further lauded the mostly benevolent stances held by the Emir of Kuwait in recent years, including at the recent Riyadh Summit, saying that his approach has been aimed at resolving and reducing disputes through inter-regional mechanisms.

If all GCC leaders practically adopt such an approach instead of the recent baseless statements by the secretariat of the Council, it would be less costly for the peoples of the region, and could make it easier to achieve peace and stability, he added.

Qassemi also referred to the issue of the three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf, saying that the repetition of groundless claims about the trio islands of Iran will not change the historical and geographical realities of the region.

“The three islands are and will remain inseparable parts of the Iranian territory,” he emphasized.

The 39th session of the GCC summit was held recently in Riyadh. At the end of the summit, the Council issued a final communiqué called ‘Riyadh Declaration’, which included seven points including matters related to the Persian Gulf countries, the region and the world.

The summit came to an end without any major breakthroughs to resolve diplomatic crisis that continues to grip the region.

In his opening remarks, Saudi King Salman accused Iran of “continuing to interfere in the affairs of the countries in the region.”

He stressed the importance of the council and the need to “defend, in collaboration with partners, security and stability in the [Persian] Gulf”.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE gather every year to discuss cooperation and regional affairs.

Louvre Museum Urges Rediscovery of Qajar Art

The Louvre Museum in Lens recently hosted an exhibition of Qajar art, which attracted over 450,000 visitors. The ‘Empire of Roses’ exhibition started on March 28 and was open to the public for three months.

The exhibition, organized by the Louvre Museum’s Department of Islamic Art, allowed those interested in Persian art to take a close look at a collection of unknown Iranian pieces of art.

Lintz, the director of the Islamic Art department, believes the warm reception of enthusiastic visitors in France indicated the need for conducting new research to rediscover the artworks of Qajar era.

The warm public reception has triggered Louvre officials to plan a similar exhibition of Qajar arts in Paris, the French art specialist said in an exclusive interview with IRNA.

“The Qajar art is not highly known for most French people. That’s why we have decided to put on display a collection of Qajar art pieces kept in the stores of Paris without any written record,” she noted.

She said Qajar art pieces enjoy a unique feature that distinguishes them from others, and people will realize their artistic aspects more in the future.

Lintz also said she is attracted to the similarities between the European art and that of the Qajar era due to her expertise in the 19th century arts.

The exhibition was held in line with a cooperation agreement signed earlier between Louvre Museum and Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) during the Iranian President’s visit to France in January 2016.

19 unique art pieces from Golestan Palace including eight oil paintings, a gallery of photos taken by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar who ruled Iran from September 1848 to May 1896, a copper crown owned by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar (the founder of the Qajar dynasty of Iran, ruling from 1794 to 1797), two historic Qurans with calligraphy, and six scrapbooks by Naser al-Din Shah, Mirza Baba and Mohammad Baqer, Asadollah Shirazi, Esmail Jalayer and Ja’far Khan.

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

The top story in all papers today was the fresh round of Yellow Vest protests in France and other European countries, which took thousands of protesters to the streets for the fourth consecutive week.

Several papers also covered the remarks by conservative politician Ebrahim Raisi in criticism of the government of his former rival Hassan Rouhani.

The recent deal on output cut clinched by members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was also described as a heavy blow to the US administration, which was pressurizing the OPEC to avoid cutting its oil output to keep the prices down.

Dialogue, Respect Key to Making Strong Region: Iran FM

By
IFP Media Wire

“What we need is a stronger region rather than strongmen. For this we need dialogue,” and “respect for international law,” Zarif said in a tweet posted on his official Twitter page on Sunday.

The top Iranian diplomat also mentioned “inclusion, security networking, economic cooperation, and more people-to-people contact,” as other factors, which can help regional states achieve the goal of having a stronger region.

The Iranian foreign minister also took to task the “strongmen,” who have risen to power in Middle Eastern countries, for the destructive role they have played in the region, noting, “Our region has had far too many strongmen who have only caused war & misery.” He, however, made no direct reference to any specific regional politician.

In another part of his tweet, Zarif brought up some key points included in Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s statement before the regional parliament speakers’ conference in Tehran on the requisites for the realization of a stronger region.

Addressing the Tehran conference on Saturday, President Rouhani said that deepening of multilateral and bilateral bonds and the pursuit of multilateralism in diplomatic and economic relations were key factors for achieving this goal.

The adoption of security networking with the participation of all neighboring countries and displaying mutual respect for national sovereignty were other factors mentioned by Iran’s chief executive, who also called for strengthening comprehensive defense capabilities and reduction of militarism at the regional level.

In an address to the closing ceremony of the conference, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said the United States sought to engage Asian countries in wars and acts of terror with the purpose of exhausting their resources and hindering their progress.

He added that the US had created terrorist groups in Asia, because the region enjoyed great economic and energy potential, noting that for this reason, Asian countries have been engaged in wars over the past three decades and now most of terrorist groups are in Asia.

Iran on Saturday hosted the second Speakers’ Conference in the capital Tehran, which focused on the challenge of terrorism and inter-regional connectivity. The event was attended by parliament speakers from Afghanistan, China, Iran, Pakistan, Russia and Turkey.

Iran’s Kish Island Hosts RoboCup Asia-Pacific 2018

The tournament was held in two sections of real-life robots and student robots. 2,200 people from 15 countries participated in this tournament.

This round of games was attended by Iran, Russia, Australia, Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates.

Virtual robots also participated in the event this year.

Seyyed Mohammad Mousavian, a member of Ahwaz Student Robotics Team, says “the virtual robot presented at the exhibition is a rescue robot for natural disasters. It can save the people stranded under the rubble.”

A large number of robots participating in this tournament were football players. Javad Rahnamaie from the University of Isfahan says the reason is that the International Federation of Robotics plans to hold a football match between humans and robots in 2050.

“To this end, teams are working hard to upgrade their robot football players,” he added.

Singapore and Germany competed with five Iranian teams in the field of industrial robots in this round.

Firefighter robots, rescue workers, submarines, as well as freight and shipment robots were among the robots presented at Kish Robotics Fair.

Iran Says OPEC Agreement Deals Further Blow to US

OPEC Fund Earmarks $500,000 to Help Iran Fight COVID-19

In an address to a cabinet session on Sunday, Rouhani said the US once failed to press ahead with its meddlesome policies in the world after leading oil exporters reached consensus on creating a new balance in oil supply in the world.

“Despite its efforts, the US once again failed to press ahead with its meddlesome policies due to the resistance of the OPEC member states and their allies as well as the leading role played by Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh to make coordination among them, ” he added.

He made the remarks after Zanganeh briefed the cabinet ministers on the latest decision made during Friday meeting of the OPEC in Vienna.

OPEC finally managed to break an impasse over production cuts and agreed on a larger-than-expected cut with allies after two days of hard negotiations.

Despite the US pressures, the member states and their allies reached consensus on removing 1.2 million barrels a day from the market, with OPEC itself shouldering 800,000 barrels of the burden.

Iran emerged as a winner from the contentious talks, saying it’s secured an exemption from cuts as it suffers the effects of US sanctions.
