The ministry’s spokesperson Bahram Qassemi said Sunday that the Pakistani official will hold talks with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.

“The two sides will discuss the latest developments in bilateral relations and the most important regional and international issues,” added Qassemi.

A statement issued by Pakistan’s Foreign Office said on Sunday that Qureshi will visit Iran, Afghanistan, China and Russia from December 24 to 26.

He told media that his trip is aimed at strengthening ties with these four countries.

Qureshi’s trip to Iran comes after Zarif visited Islamabad in October.

In recent months, Pakistan-based terrorists have carried out attacks on the Iranian soil killing a number of border guards. In their latest attack, terrorists kidnapped 12 Iranian border guards and released 5 of them later on.

Netanyahu, Erdogan Exchange Heated Barbs

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday hit out at President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who told young Turks, “Do not kick the enemy you have brought down to the ground. You are not a Jew in Israel.”

Netanyahu said Erdogan was “the occupier of northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey” in a tweet late on Saturday.

Reacting to the Israeli rhetoric in a Tweet on Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called Netanyahu “a cold-blooded killer of modern times.”

Erdogan’s spokesman and chief adviser Ibrahim Kalin also shot back in comments earlier.

Netanyahu, the spokesman said, “should end the lawless occupation of Palestinian lands and the brutal oppression of Palestinian people” instead of “begging President Erdogan not to speak out the truth.”

“Bashing Erdogan or using Kurds as a political chip will not save him from his domestic troubles,” Kalin added.

Earlier this month, Erdogan likened Israeli atrocities against Palestinians to those perpetrated against Jews in the Nazi Germany.

He said Palestinians were being subjected to “pressures, violence and intimidation policies no less grave than the oppression done to the Jews during the Second World War.”

Turkey broke its diplomatic ties with Israel after an incident in May, 2010, during which Israeli commandos attacked a Turkish-flagged ship near the Gaza Strip, killing nine Turkish citizens.

The two sides exchanged ambassadors in 2016, but Ankara ordered the Israeli envoy to leave in May again over the Israeli military’s killing of Palestinian protesters in the Gaza Strip.

Iran Never Sought to Wipe Out Any Country: Zarif

“We have never sought wiping out any country, while Saudis have sought hurting Iran. But they have proven unsuccessful and hence accuse Iran of expansionism,” the top Iranian diplomat said in an interview with the French magazine Le Point published in French on Thursday.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been seeking cooperation with all Persian Gulf countries, while Saudi Arabia has been seeking to engage in clashes with Iran in the Middle East, he said.

Riyadh’s regional policies designed to weaken Iran have brought unwanted results, Zarif said, pointing to the Saudi government’s failures in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Qatar and Afghanistan.

Saudi Main Problem of Middle East

“The problem of our region is Saudi Arabia. This country tries to enlist the support of the US, France and Britain to wipe out Iran from the region or at least push our country to the sidelines,” he said.

Zarif said Iran would rush to Saudi Arabia’s support in case of an attack, just like the way it backed Qatar during the Persian Gulf crisis and assisted Kuwait when it was attacked by Iraq in early 1990s.

The Iranian foreign minister said the increasing influence of Iran results from Tehran’s honest policies and mistakes by its rivals.

Iran No Threat to Region

Asked to explain about allegations that Iran seeks to dominate the region, Zarif said Iran’s military expenditure is much less than countries like Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates.

Last year, the military expenditure of Saudi Arabia was $69 billion and that of the UAE was $22 billion, while Iran’s military budget was less than $16 billion, he said.

We Don’t Seek Wiping Out Israel

On accusations that Iran seeks to destroy Israel, Zarif said Iran has never said it will wipe Israel off the map.

“When did we announce we will destroy Israel? Just show us one body [Iranian official] who has said this. No one said this,” he said.

Asked about the 2007 remarks by former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Israel will be wiped off the map, Zarif said Ahmadinejad has just repeated the words of Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Revolution.

The top Iranian diplomat said Imam Khomeini had said Israeli’s brutal policies will lead to its destruction, not that Iran will destroy Israel.

This is while the Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Israel would destroy Iran during his visit to Dimona nuclear plant late August this year, Zarif said.

Cord Blood Banking May Save You from Future Diseases

Though it’s not yet common to use stem cells in treating diseases, the cells have already been used in treating type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, systemic Lupus Erythematosus and neurologic diseases like brain stroke, Parkinson, Alzheimer’s, different types of anemia, immunodeficiency and liver diseases and so on.

Scientists have conducted numerous studies on stem cells to draw on their achievements to find a way to extract the cells from body. To this end, they explored various resources including bone marrow and umbilical cord.

The cord is full of stem cells. Once considered a biological waste product, umbilical cord blood (UCB) has emerged as a viable source of haematopoietic stem cells for transplantation.

Despite the fact that the cells have the capacity to be used in treatment of tens of diseases, they are not yet mainly used in treating diseases connected with blood disorders like blood cancer, congenital anemia, thalassemia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Cord Blood Banking May Save You from Future DiseasesUse of umbilical cord blood for transplant is possible only if the blood donator and receiver enjoy the same genetic features. The umbilical cord blood of the first newborn babies has a 50-percent chance of success in transplants but the chance of their brothers or sisters’ blood falls to 25 percent.

To go ahead with a transplant, we need an average 20 to 30 million cells of umbilical cord blood. For example, with 400 million cells of cord blood, we can carry out transplant for a 20-kilogram person. With one billion cells, we can carry out the operation for a person with an average weight of 30 to 40 kilograms.

We have only 5 to 10 minutes to access the cord blood; otherwise the blood will clot and we have no way but to throw away the extracted stem cells. The blood can be collected after full separation of the umbilical cord, and sampling process will inflict no harm on the mother or the fetus.

According to global standards, the blood of umbilical cord could be preserved for 20 years in a blood bank equipped with the latest technologies. This comes as it is possible to preserve the blood by 30 to 35 years. Storing umbilical cord should be carried out in less than 24 hours.

Stem cells taken from umbilical cord are stronger and enjoy a longer life-time. Meanwhile, repeated proliferation can’t shorten their lifetime. By replacing the blood in those hurt parts of body, we can contribute to their improvements.

The technology, which is currently used worldwide for blood banking, has been acquired and is being used in Iran by the knowledge-based company Danesh Pajoohesh Fajr.

Dental Implant Vital Surgery for Oral Health

Implants replace one or more and sometimes all decayed teeth. The replacement should be carried out in several stages so that the implanted teeth could fit together smoothly.

Implants are similar to natural teeth in terms of size and colour and give their owners a sense of having natural teeth in their mouth. The owners also get rid of malnutrition which they usually suffer from because of being incapable of chewing food due to their decayed teeth.

Implants can replace temporarily or permanently for all decayed teeth. The latter refers to a collection of implants with each one having a separate name and function.

Dental Implant Vital Surgery for Oral HealthAmong the main advantages of implants, one can refer to the preservation of the remaining bone which holds a tooth and preventing other teeth from further decadence.

Implant surgery is carried out in four stages through local anesthesia, possibly with the dentist from https://smileworks.us. The time between the first and last surgeries takes about nine months but it may get longer or shorter given a patient’s physical condition and strength of the jawbone as well as their potential to recover wounds.

Implant also has some painful consequences. Being aware of them could play a key role in decreasing the sufferings. The consequences emerge usually about three weeks to six months after the surgery. Among the main consequences, one can refer to the possible removal or loosening of the implant coverage.

One can cope with the consequences through understanding and getting more familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the surgery. Over the past years, a huge progress has been made in this area by hard-working researchers and scientists who are working on modern methods for conducting the surgery.

Implant Technology; Efficient Method for Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedists use implants a lot in their surgeries. All artificial joints are implants. All metal parts inserted inside or put on the surface of cracked or broken bones in surgeries as well as parts used to keep broken pieces of bones together are all implants.

Implants are used widely in orthopedics. They are made of materials which do not trigger any reaction from, and are not rejected by the human body. Steel, titanium, plastic and biomaterials such as hydroxyapatite can be used to make implants.

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”

Orthopedic implants are used in the form of screws, rods and metal sheets in order to keep broken bones in the right position to expedite recovery. An operation is usually needed to put implants in place, and another surgery is required to remove them.

Orthopedic implants can be studied and evaluated from four perspectives: physical, chemical, structural and biological. In the evaluation process, parameters such as the appearance, weight, magnetic properties, material used in the production, the way of production, and environmental friendliness of implants are examined.Implant Technology; Efficient Method for Orthopedic SurgeryWith regards to orthopedic implants, the objective sought today is to develop and use materials that are stronger, more durable and more compatible with the body. At the moment, orthopedic implants are used in a variety of areas. Currently, most pieces of orthopedic equipment are made of stainless steel and titanium alloys, which are durable enough and can be attached to plastic that can be used as false cartilage.

Bone repair operations may take several hours, and, depending on the kind of cracks, local or general anesthesia may be required. Given the type of the crack, the surgeon makes the appropriate incision and uses orthopedic implants, temporarily or permanently, to fix and treat the bone.

Recently, considerable progress has been made in the field of orthopedic implants, making their use simpler and more efficient.

US Presence in Mideast Always Source of Insecurity, Tension: Iran

Bahram Qassemi’s remarks came in response to a question raised by reporters regarding Washington’s announcement that it would withdraw its troops from Syria.

“Basically, US forces’ arrival and presence in the region was a wrong, illogical, tension-provoking and crisis-inducing move from the outset, and has always been one of the key contributors to instability and insecurity in the region,” said Qassemi on Saturday.

“A careful study of the history of the regional developments in recent decades until now shows that the presence of foreign elements in this important and sensitive region under different pretexts has only resulted in tension and intensification of divisions,” he said.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced his plan to pull out American troops from Syria.

Later on Thursday, Trump downplayed those who criticized his decision, and said the United States cannot stay there “forever.”

“Does the USA want to be the Policeman of the Middle East, getting NOTHING but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others who, in almost all cases, do not appreciate what we are doing? Do we want to be there forever? Time for others to finally fight….,” Trump tweeted on Thursday.

He said in another tweet that one should not be surprised by the abrupt announcement.

“Getting out of Syria was no surprise. I’ve been campaigning on it for years, and six months ago, when I very publicly wanted to do it, I agreed to stay longer.”

Iran Leader Urges Police to Win People’s Trust

Speaking in a Sunday meeting with commanders of Iran’s police in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei said the behaviour of police forces is under the public scrutiny, and people tend to generalize their impression of the police’s performance to other parts of the Islamic Establishment.

“You should act in a way that the people find the police a powerful, fair and vigilant force,” he said.

Police forces have made significant progress in improving their behaviour towards people, but they need to improve further, he said, calling for “non-stop progress” so they reach a level that deserves the Islamic system.

“The performance of the police forces must be wise and thoughtful, in a way that it helps the police win people’s trust,” he said.

Abbas’ Dissolution of Palestine Parliament against Democracy: Iran

Zarif made the comments in a Sunday meeting with a delegation of the Hamas faction in the Palestinian parliament, headed by Mahmoud al-Zahar.

The Iranian minister expressed regret over Abbas’ decision, and stressed the need for the unity of the Palestinian nation around the resistance axis.

For his part, al-Zahar said the parliament has been elected legally and should continue its work until the end of its tenure.

“According to the Palestinian Constitution, the parliament cannot be dissolved under any circumstances, even in an emergency situation, and its tenure should end,” he said.

Abbas announced Saturday that his government was going to dissolve the PLC and hold elections within six months.

The president said that he would immediately implement a Constitutional Court ruling to dissolve the PLC, a chamber which is under the heavy influence of Hamas since the party won elections in 2006.

 

Zionists No Real Friend of Muslim Countries

During the meeting, Zarif said that Muslim countries, despite some differences, should unite on the issue of supporting Palestine in order to prevent abuses.

“Unfortunately, efforts to counter the Resistance movement are made from inside the Muslim world today. These pressures are also placed on all countries and Muslim movements,” he said.

“Supporting Palestine is a basic policy of the Islamic Republic,” he said, expressing hope that some regional governments that have pinned their hopes on the support of the Zionists and the US would return to the Muslim world and realize that Zionists are no real friend or partner for anybody.

Al-Zahar, in turn, said Iran provides Palestine with “true support”, expressing hope the resistance of the Palestinian people and the support of the Muslim world will bring an end to the Zionist project.
