World Must Pressure Israel into Working with IAEA: Analyst

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Nosratollah Tajik, a former Iranian ambassador to Jordan, in a recent interview with Jam-e-Jam Online, said that Tel Aviv must first let the IAEA inspectors visit its facilities, and then officially announce the number of its nuclear warheads.

“The Zionist regime expects other countries to comply with non-proliferation treaties while it keeps its nuclear arsenal and does not allow nuclear inspectors to monitor its activities,” Tajik said.

Under such circumstances, he added, one should not expect that other countries do the opposite and restrict themselves.

He also pointed out that one of the important strategies of Iran after the 2015 nuclear accord was to move towards a Middle East free from nuclear weapons.

This region should have maximum safety due to its vulnerabilities, lack of development, and being a strategic point in terms of supplying energy to countries in the Far East.

Referring to the recent statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly, Tajik emphasised that to understand Bibi’s speech, one should study the Zionist regime’s strategy towards Iran.

He underlined that the Zionist regime is one of the parties that benefited the most from the Iranophobia project.

Tajik argued that before the signing of the nuclear deal, the Israeli regime’s activities had created a global consensus against Iran.

With the signing of the JCPOA, he said, all Iranophobic strategies of enemies failed. “However, with the election of Trump, a new American-Hebrew-Arab conspiracy was formed against Iran to start a project called Iranophobia 2.

Referring to a part of Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, Tajik noted the Israeli PM was able to keep the Arab bloc away from Iran and encourage it to get closer to Israel.

He also pointed to Netanyahu’s theatrics on a “secret atomic warehouse” in southern Tehran, and said it seems a number of Iranian people or organisations, who are seeking to milk the Zionist regime, have sold the Israeli prime minister some inaccurate information in a way that he made fun of himself by repeating those information at the UNGA.

“As an analyst, when I see the IAEA has verified Iran’s implementation of its nuclear-related commitments for 12 times, there remains no doubt that the allegations raised by Netanyahu are a series of fake news aimed at influencing public opinion to make the Islamic Republic isolated.”

Iranian Schools Exempted from Paying Water, Power, Gas Bills

The dramatic devaluation of Iran’s national currency rial against the US dollar over the past few months has been taking its devastating social and cultural toll on Iranian children, hampering their education.

The devaluation has been mainly caused by the US’ sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Despite what the US officials claim, it is the Iranian people, particularly the vulnerable social classes, who are paying a heavy price for Donald Trump’s reckless policies towards other nations.

The new academic year in Iran started a few weeks ago amid a considerable growth of stationary prices due to the record depreciation of rial against the US dollar. The growing prices of basic commodities along with the soaring education fees in the new academic year have left most of the students’ parents incapable of affording to pay the hefty price of education for their children. This has led many students to leave their education unfinished.

To alleviate the problem and decrease the amount of money schools receive from students, the Iranian government has decided to increase the budget allocated to education. As part of the budget increase, the government has exempted all schools from paying water, power and gas bills.

Officials hope a long step could be taken in this field if other related organizations step into the fray and adopt similar measures for the students. This will also help the students’ families, exempting them from paying extra money to schools.

Head of the Public Relations of Tehran Education Department says schools are not allowed to receive money from parents under the pretext of holding special events for students.

“It’s illegal and the families should report any violation to the Assessment Centre of Education Departments,” he noted.

He went on to say that in the new academic year, the Education Ministry has adopted special measures to stop schools from receiving any money from parents.

“For example, exempting schools from paying power, water and gas bills, as announced by the government, is one of these measures.”

According to the official, the announcement should have been implemented as of the first month of this Persian year but the Power Distribution Company and Water and Wastewater Company continued to charge the schools until last month.

“Today, with the follow-ups made by the government, all schools will be exempted forever from paying gas, water and power bills,” he concluded.

Kordolia: A Unique Ancient Underground City in Heart of Iran

The city measures more than 20 square km in area, dating back to the Safavid era.

“When King Abbas II (year 1587) made Armenians migrate to Isfahan, a group of them settled down in the westernmost part of Karvan county in Tiran town and others dwelled in Kordolia village, beginning to get engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry,” says Mohsen Mazaheri, the director of the Cultural Heritage Department of Tiran and Karvan town.

Since then, bitterly cold winter as well as the temporary insecurity gripping the area prompted residents of Kordolia village to dig tunnels under their homes to protect themselves and their cattle from freezing cold.

All the tunnels contain wide corridors and labyrinthine chambers which are connected to one another and they all form a large underground city.

According to Mazaheri, the local cultural heritage department learned about the existence of such a subterranean city in 2016. After several visits to the site, parts of the underground city were restored and fitted with lights by the governor’s office and other officials and upon encouragement by the owners of the homes built on the ground on top of the underground city.

Available records as well as stories recounted by late and elderly locals suggest the city has 80 entrances and was used to fight cold and protect residents and their property as well as their cattle.

Officials say three of the entrances have been restored.

“The restored part is 400 meters long and contains 40 chambers, measuring around 2,500 square meters,” says an official.

Parts of the subterranean city have been open to visitors since March 2018.

Iran Denies Ankara Embassy Evacuation, Bomb Threat

In a Monday statement, Bahram Qassemi dismissed as sheer lies news that the Iranian embassy building in Ankara was the target of a suicide bomb attack and that the embassy had been evacuated.

“Such a claim and news is a sheer lie, and the personnel at our embassy are present at their workplace in full health and security, doing their daily jobs,” said Qassemi.

Earlier, Turkish media claimed that he Iranian Embassy in Ankara had been evacuated after Turkish security forces received a tip about a possible suicide bombing plot.

The reports said Turkish police evacuated the Iranian embassy after receiving the tip and cordoned off Tehran Street where the embassy is located.

Iran Produces Cooling Fabrics Using Nanotechnology

Nanocomposite fabrics have many useful functions including cooling the skin in summer, transferring the body moisture to the environment, rapidly drying textiles, increasing blood circulation, increasing cheerfulness, decreasing vascular cramps, and eliminating the bad smell of sweat and at the same time allowing the skin to continue its natural breathing.

Tehran Zarnakh Company, as the first Iranian company, has managed to produce nylon fabrics called HEALTEX which could reflect infrared radiations, and thus cool down the body.

This product has received a nano-scale certificate from the Iranian Headquarters of Nanotechnology Development this year. These fabrics can reflect infrared radiations and have the ability to retransmit these radiations into the body.

When the infrared radiation penetrates the skin, it contacts the molecules of protein, collagen, fat and water. By creating micrometric fluctuations, a thermal reaction is created which increases the temperature of the body tissue. As blood vessels expand, circulation increases.

Among other products of Zarnakh Company, one could refer to COOLTEX fabrics, which have the ability to rapidly transfer the body moisture to the environment. The presence of micrometric channels in the cross-sectional area of the fibre results in a faster transfer of moisture to a wider level of tissue; therefore, it can increase the evaporation of moisture from the garment.

The heat required for evaporation is provided by the body, and this results in a feeling of dryness and cooling for the person wearing the cooling garment. These features will not be lost by repeated washing of these fibres.

The nanocomposite antimicrobial fibres are among other products of the company. The antimicrobial particles of these threads directly attack the cell wall of the bacterium and DNA, and reduce the possibility of bacteria spreading. In this way, they prevent the creation of odor.

For a brief review of Iran’s achievements in various fields of science and technology, check the book “Science and Technology in Iran: A Brief Review”

No similar garment is being produced in Iran, and just some prominent companies of the advanced countries are active in this field. Therefore, there seems to be a good market for this product now and in the future.

Zarankh Corporation is a nano-based company participating in the 2018 International Nanotechnology Exhibition, which is currently underway in Tehran and will be open to visitors until October 16.

Iran Leader Calls for Upgrading 50-Year Paradigm of Progress

By

In a letter on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei called on Iranian organizations, scientific centers, elites and experts to explore various aspects of the Islamic-Iranian Paradigm of Progress and offer their consultative opinion in order to modify, complete and upgrade the document.

The Leader also ordered the Islamic-Iranian Paradigm of Progress Center to seek advice and fully study all ideas to introduce an upgraded and finalized version of the document within two years at most.

From the beginning of the 15th century of the Iranian calendar (2022), the Islamic-Iranian Paradigm of Progress should take effect with the necessary preparations and proper pace and become the pivot on which the country’s affairs revolve, Ayatollah Khamenei added.

The Leader also urged Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the Parliament, the administration, universities and religious schools to help upgrade the Islamic-Iranian Paradigm of Progress.

Developing an Islamic-Iranian paradigm of progress attracted Iranian elites’ attention after Ayatollah Khamenei’s call for such an initiative in December 2010.

In March 2013, the Leader described developing such a paradigm as a great, glorious, long-term and detailed plan, and stressed, “A prerequisite for developing an Islamic-Iranian paradigm of progress and propagating it among the elites is creating a discourse of such a paradigm in society.”

In April 2016, Ayatollah Khamenei said there are deep deficiencies in the common paradigms of development in the modern world, calling for the formulation of an indigenous model on the basis of Islamic and Iranian values.

The Leader had also explained that the common paradigms were fundamentally wrong and based upon humanist and non-divine principles, saying they have failed to keep pledges of supporting values such as freedom and justice.

Signs of failure of the common paradigms of progress can be seen in some countries that follow those models, including their governments’ huge financial debts, unemployment, poverty and severe social inequality, Imam Khamenei pointed out.

New Hitler to Emerge If Trump’s Lawlessness Ignored: Iran

In an address to the closing of a military medicine conference in Tehran on Monday, General Hatami lashed out at the US government for breaking the international law.

“Everybody witnessed how they (Americans) violated agreements and the world saw Iran expressing its good will for resolution of the fabricated nuclear crisis,” he said.

“The Americans have imposed sanctions on us because of opting for independence, and even blocked our access to medicine,” the Iranian defense minister deplored, warning that lack of action against such US lawlessness would lead to the rise of new Hitlers.

“The whole world must counter countries intending to beat the drum of war with law-breaking, and should not allow certain countries to steer the world to war,” the general stressed.

He then described Iran as a major victim of chemical weapons that has paid heavy costs for the treatment of chemical attack victims, saying the country has become self-sufficient in producing medical equipment and is ready to share its experience with other countries.

Iran has made hundreds of products for protection against radioactive, biological and chemical weapons, he added.

General Hatami also voiced Iran’s readiness to run courses for participants of the military medicine congress to share the experience in countering chemical weapons, saying the Defense Ministry is also open to cooperation in the field of military veterinary medicine.

The 4th edition of Military Medicine Congress in Asia-Pacific Region was attended by military commanders and delegations from 45 countries.

Iran took the rotating presidency of the biennial congress.

US Losing Its Allies, Unable to Isolate Iran: IRGC

“At the present time, the United States is isolated and is losing its allies while Iran is the pivot of the political developments in the region and the world and cannot be isolated by any means,” the IRGC’s second-in-command, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, said on Sunday.

He added that world countries are boosting their unity against the US and are refraining from helping Washington in its measures against Tehran.

The senior IRGC commander also emphasized that the Iranian nation has managed to defeat the enemy through resistance, adding that only a few patrol units are currently in the Persian Gulf, where the enemy had previously deployed its warships and aircraft carriers.

“Along with other military forces of the country, the IRGC is fully prepared to counter any enemy on any scale and defeat it,” Salami pointed out.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Salami said the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, Palestinian militants and other groups affiliated with the resistance front are capable of thwarting all the enemies’ plots in the region, but the United States has not been able to achieve any of its goals despite spending huge sums.

In an exclusive interview with Press TV, IRGC spokesman, Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, said the Iranian nation’s security remains the red line of the country’s Armed Forces, saying the IRGC has always taken practical measures to realize this aim.

He added that the IRGC has repeatedly announced that it would never submit to any effort aimed at creating insecurity in the Islamic Republic and would give a “crushing response” in the shortest possible time to anybody seeking to disrupt the country’s security.
