Pre-Nowruz Festival of Coloured Eggs Underway in Tehran

Professional and amateur artists submitted their coloured eggs in December 2018 and the selected works were announced in February.

These eggs are to be put on show in 22 districts of Tehran during the Nowruz holidays.

The innovative features, creativity and relevance of the submitted designs to urban situations were reviewed by the jury.

Colouring the eggs on the eve of Nowruz is a traditional custom among Iranians, who put the coloured eggs at Haft Seen Sufra.

Iran, World’s 4th Manufacturer of Medical Linear Accelerators

So far, only three countries in the world had the technology to produce this device, and now Iran has joined the club.

The device is used to accelerate and improve the treatment of patients with cancerous tumors. Now the Iranian company Behyaar Sanaat Sepahan has made this technology indigenous by producing the device.

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to Linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beam-line.

Linacs have many applications: they generate X-rays and high energy electrons for medicinal purposes in radiation therapy, serve as particle injectors for higher-energy accelerators, and are used directly to achieve the highest kinetic energy for light particles (electrons and positrons) for particle physics.

This device, which is located in a room and accelerates particles such as electrons at very high speeds with the help of electromagnetic waves is widely used for the external radiotherapy of cancer patients. It rotates 360 degrees around the patient and is considered as the most practical method in the treatment of cancers.

The method of these devices is that the electron particles are accelerated by the radio waves within the vacuum chamber up to a few mega electron volts in a direct direction. Through direct emissions of low, medium and high electron beams they can treat surface tumors, such as skin cancer.

If a target (tungsten plate) is placed along the path of an electron beam, high-energy X-rays are produced suitable for deep-seated tumors.

The most obvious technical feature of the linear accelerator is its emission of x-ray, and the rate of this device is 200 moles per second.

The cost of a linear accelerator in the country is much less than its foreign samples (about one/fourth). Moreover, all parts of this machine are manufactured in Iran and only less than 10% of its parts are imported.

In each country, for every one million people there must be 3 to 4 of these devices, so the countries around Iran are in dire need of it. This company is ready to ship the device to neighbouring countries, and in the near future, the company would start sale of the technology.

The CEO of the knowledge-based company says the company is ready to provide after-sales services in case of any problems.

Iran Urges Muslim World to Unite against Islamophobia

In a Friday message, Rouhani strongly condemned the terrorist and racist attack on Muslim worshippers in New Zealand, and described the massacre as a barbaric and painful incident which broke the hearts of all Muslim people in the world, especially the Iranian nation.

“This barbaric crime, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of innocent and defenseless worshippers, is another proof of the need for an all-out fight against terrorism and hate-mongering toward other religions and ethnic groups, and the Islamophobia which is common in the West, and unfortunately fueled by certain Western governments,” Rouhani said.

“This crime indicated that terrorism is still among the important issues of the world, and needs an integrated fight and a united approach by all countries against violence and extremism in any part of the world,” he noted.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is still committed to decisive fight against terrorism and racism, and is sure that, thanks to the unity and solidarity of Muslim people, such blind and aimless plots by the enemies would result in nothing but further disgrace for them,” he added.

Rouhani also called on the international community, particularly Muslim states, to show serious reaction to these anti-human crimes, and “disgrace the overt and covert sponsors of such moves.”

The Iranian president also lashed out at certain Western mainstream media for their “unprofessional” and “inhumane” coverage of the terrorist attack, and described it as another proof of their racist attitude and double-standard policies even towards the lives of human beings.

Earlier in the day, Iranian ambassador to London Hamid Baeidinejad had slammed the Persian service of the BBC for refusing to use the term “terrorist attack” in reference to the New Zealand slaughter.

“In BBC Persian’s view, there is only one criterion for describing an attack as a ‘terrorist’ one, and that’s when referring to attacks carried out against the UK; therefore, a knife crime in London is called a ‘terrorist attack’, but the massacre in New Zealand is just an ‘attack’,” he said in a tweet.

At least one gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 40 during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the country’s worst ever mass shooting, which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism.

The Australian gunman behind the massacre, identified as Brenton Tarrant, broadcast live footage on Facebook of the attack on one mosque in the city of Christchurch, mirroring the carnage played out in video games, after publishing a “manifesto” in which he denounced immigrants, calling them “invaders”.

In his manifesto, Tarrant said he saw US President Donald Trump as “symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.”

Iran FM Urges OIC to Hold Emergency Meeting

In a Friday phone conversation with Mevlut Cavusoglu, the foreign minister of Turkey which is the rotating president of the OIC, Zarif called for appropriate reaction of Muslim states to this heinous crime.

The Iranian foreign minister pointed to the New Zealand terrorist attack as well as the Israeli soldiers’ recent insult to Muslims’ mosque in the occupied Palestine, and proposed that the OIC immediately holds an emergency meeting at the level of leaders or foreign ministers.

Zarif had earlier called for an end to Islamophobia in Western countries, saying, “Iranians are deeply shocked and saddened by Christchurch terror today. But we’re not surprised. Banned from travel to the US, and not allowed to abide by our faith if attending French schools, we Iranians know too well what bigotry and hatred of Islam augur.”

An Australian gunman identified as Brenton Tarrant killed 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the country’s worst ever mass shooting.

The shooter broadcast live footage on Facebook of the attack on one mosque in the city of Christchurch, mirroring the carnage played out in video games, after publishing a “manifesto” in which he denounced immigrants, calling them “invaders”.

West Must Stop Supporting Islamophobia: Iran

In a Friday tweet, Zarif said the Australian attacker’s livestreaming of his massacre of 49 Muslims in a mosque in New Zealand was a result of “impunity in Western ‘democracies’ to promotion of bigotry.”

“Impunity in Western ‘democracies’ to promote bigotry leads to this: Israeli thugs enter mosque in Palestine to insult Muslims; Terrorists in NZ livestream their murder of 49 Muslims,” he said.

“Western hypocrisy of defending demonization of Muslims as “freedom of expression” MUST end.”

In his tweet, Zarif cited a quote by US President Donald Trump who said “I think Islam hates us.”

At least one gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the country’s worst ever mass shooting, which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism.

In his sick manifesto, Tarrant said he saw US President Donald Trump as “symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose”.

The 28-year-old terrorist claimed he chose to use a gun over other weapons because it would spark a debate around the second amendment.

Tarrant added, “With enough pressure the left wing within the United States will seek to abolish the second amendment, and the right wing within the US will see this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty.”

“This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the US along cultural and racial lines.”

“Meanwhile the 10,000-ton boulder of demographic change rolls ever forward, gaining momentum and possibly destroying all in its path,” he added.

“Eventually, when the white population of the USA realizes the truth of the situation, war will erupt.”

Iran Strongly Condemns New Zealand Terror Attacks

In his Friday statement, Qassemi dismissed the attacks as inhumane and totally brutal.

The spokesman urged the New Zealand government to immediately identify the perpetrators of the racist move, put them on trial and deal with them without any consideration.

“Any terrorist attack carried out anywhere in the world, by anyone, under any pretext and with any motivation must be condemned by all states,” Qassemi said.

“Governments should not allow racist and Islamophobic movements or ideologies to pose a threat against the security and tranquility of the citizens of states across the world,” he noted.

Two attacks targeting two mosques in New Zealand have left nearly 50 people dead. The attacks took place in the city of Christ-church. The assailant was dressed in a military-style uniform.

He randomly shot at people with an automatic rifle at close range. Reports say the gunman was a right-wing extremist with Australian citizenship.

He published a racist manifesto on Twitter beforehand and then live-streamed his rampage.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described the attacks as terrorist. Muslim leaders from across the world have condemned the attacks.

IRGC Holds Large-Scale Drone Drills over Persian Gulf

In the combat and assault drill, codenamed ‘Ela Beit ul-Muqaddas-1’ (Towards al-Quds), the IRGC Aerospace Force flew tens of military drones toward a target on a tiny island in the Persian Gulf.

The strike aircraft, including 50 Iranian versions of the US RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drones, took off from bases as far as a thousand kilometers away from the operation zone to bomb the target.

During the war game, attended by IRGC Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami and Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the 50 Iranian RQ-170 drones and a number of other combat and assault pilotless planes raided a spot on Bani Farur Island in Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.

All the aircraft in the war game successfully bombed the target at the same time.

In comments on the sidelines of the drill, Commander of the Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters Major General Gholam Ali Rashid said the large-scale war game with such a high number of homegrown drones, some of which have reached the target zone from far distances for a precise air raid, should humiliate the US.

IRGC Holds Large-Scale Drone Drills over Persian Gulf

In separate remarks, Brigadier General Hajizadeh said the presence of squadrons of drones in the airspace of a small area heralds the rise of new air power in Iran.

He said the drones, belonging to the IRGC units in the provinces of Khuzestan, Bushehr, Fars and Hormozgan, launched the simultaneous air raid on the target on the Bani Farur Island.

The IRGC also employed a number of drones similar to the American MQ-1 Predator, the general noted, describing such a breakthrough as a slap in the face of the US and a reminder that the huge US military spending in the region produces such results.

In December, the IRGC Ground Force launched massive military drills in southern parts of Iran.

Iran’s Armed Forces hold routine military exercises throughout the year.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.

Back in February last year, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called for efforts to maintain and boost Iran’s defense capabilities, hitting back at the enemies for disputing the country’s missile program.

“Without a moment of hesitation, the country must move to acquire whatever is necessary for defense, even if the whole world is opposed to it,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on February 18, 2018.

US, Israel Doing All in Their Power to Counter Iran: Leader

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with members of Iran’s Assembly of Experts in Tehran on Thursday.

The Leader further underlined the need for a “maximum mobilization of forces in the face of the enemy’s maximum offensive.”

“The enemy, namely the US and the Zionists, has today mobilized all its resources and capabilities against the Iranian nation, while the Westerners and the Europeans somehow exercise enmity against Iran from the sidelines,” the Leader explained.

Referring to the “toughest ever” sanctions imposed by Washington against Tehran, the Leader said, “They (the Americans) have launched a maximum offensive against Iran, but if (in return) we mobilize all our resources and capabilities, we will deal the heaviest blow in US history to that country with God’s blessing.”

The Leader enumerated different approaches that the country can adopt in dealing with enemy threats, saying the Iranians have extensive experience with the methods being used by the enemy camp in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic.

Ayatollah Khamenei cited Washington’s withdrawal in May 2018 from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as only one of the numerous examples, calling on the country to making use of the new experience it gained when the US reneged on its commitments under the agreement.

“Our real enemy is the US and we will make no mistake in recognizing our enemy,” the Leader stated

The Leader emphasized the need for creativity in facing the enemies, saying the Islamic Republic will hit the enemy where it never thought of if a creative approach is taken against it.

Ayatollah Khamenei received members of the Assembly after it wrapped up an annual meeting focused on major international and domestic issues including the current economic challenges facing the country in the wake of re-imposition of illegal sanctions by the United States.

Attacks on Two Mosques in New Zealand Kill 49

Photo of 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant who identified himself in social media videos as one of the four terrorists behind the March 15 attack on two mosques in New Zealand.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the Friday shooting “an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence.”

Ardern said in a news conference that at least 30 people had been killed at the Deans Avenue mosque and that 10 others had died at Linwood Mosque. More than 20 others who were seriously injured were being treated in the hospital, she said.

The shooting “can only be described as a terrorist attack”, Ardern said.

A number of explosive devices were found attached to vehicles that the police had stopped, according to officials.

They said that four people, including three men and one woman, had been taken into custody. Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia said that one of them was Australian.

A Muslim leader in New Zealand said the attack was especially shocking as it took place during Friday prayers. The police called on mosques nationally to “shut their doors” and urged people to stay away from the mosques until further notice.

A video and manifesto that appeared to be by a gunman involved in the shooting were posted online on the day of the attack.
