Marble of Iran’s Kurdistan Registered by WIPO

By

-

Although Kurdistan marble had already been renowned globally, its international registration has opened a new chapter for the product at the WIPO.

According to officials, the product being registered by the WIPO will also encourage foreign investment in Iran to launch marble factories.

Until a few years ago, marble workshops were up and running in the province. One could hear the sound of marble being cut. Giant cranes would move large pieces of marble at workshops and they were finally loaded onto lorries to be taken away.

In those days when the construction of buildings was all the rage and when ceramics and other artificial stone products had not yet been so popular, marble was a key construction material and the façade of most chic and modern buildings was decorated with it.

Marble was a luxury commodity and only the well-to-do could afford decorative handicrafts made of marble.

Although stonemasons’ business is slowing down these days, there is demand for marble, even in its raw form, on international markets, namely Italy and China.

Also a top story was President Hassan Rouhani’s remarks about the Saudi assassination of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and the US support for the crime.

A decision by a company affiliated with the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) to sell its shares in Iran’s largest mobile phone operation MCI also received great coverage.

IRGC Sells Its Shares in Iran’s Largest Telecom Firm

By
IFP Editorial Staff

In a statement, IRGC’s Cooperative Foundation said it has sold its share in Tose’e Etemad Mobin, a consortium that owns Telecommunication Company of Iran and its subsidiary, Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran.

“In line with guidelines of the chief of staff of armed forces, the IRGC’s Cooperative Foundation sold its share and left Tose’e Etemad Mobin,” statement said, as quoted by Sepah News.

The move came after calls by Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani that Iran’s Armed Forces must withdraw from the Iranian economy.

Last January, Iran’s Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said Ayatollah Khamenei had tasked the armed forces’ chief of staff to push military forces, including IRGC and Army, to go out of the economy.

However, General Hatami said the armed forces will continue to engage in big national construction projects across the country, upon the government’s invitation.

“This is our principled orientation and we will do our best, but our success depends on the conditions of the market and the possibility of transferring the companies,” he said.

The engagement of IRGC and Iran’s Army in Iran’s economy started in the early 1990s, when the then-government encouraged the IRGC to get involved in construction of the country after the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

However, in recent years, the government has come under pressure in the wake of criticism that armed forces have made it impossible for private sector firms to enter certain parts of the economy.

Iran Congratulates Afghanistan on Holding Parliamentary Elections

In a Wednesday statement, Qassemi hailed Afghanistan for holding its parliamentary elections after a three-year hiatus, saying that the votes became possible with the efforts of the Afghan people and government.

“Tehran considers it as a positive move towards establishment of democracy and achievement of security, stability and development in the neighbouring country,” he noted.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran hopes that, with the formation of the new parliament, the process of change would resolve problems there and lead to lasting peace, security, and prosperity for the Afghan nation,” Qassemi noted.

Millions of Afghan people made their ways on Saturday and Sunday to polling stations to cast ballots despite a number of deadly attacks which were carried out during the voting process.

In a suicide attack in Kabul, at least 10 civilians and five Afghan police personnel were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a polling station in the city. Dozens more were wounded as a result of the bombing. The Taliban insurgents had threatened to attack any Afghan who goes to the ballot boxes.

According to the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan (IEC) almost four million Afghans in 32 provinces voted during the two days of elections in the country.

More than 2,500 candidates, including 400 women, were running for 249 seats in the Lower House of Parliament.

Iran’s Shahin Izadyar; A New Rival for Michael Phelps

Izadyar played a great role in the good position of the Iranian team in Jakarta by acquiring six gold and one silver medals. Not only was he the champion of a country, he became the champion of Asia during the final days of the games, in a way that the swimming tickets were sold out very quickly as all sport lovers wanted to see this Asian Phelps.

Michael Phelps is an American retired swimmer and the most successful and most decorated Olympian of all time with a total of 28 medals. Phelps also holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals. He won eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Phelps had already tied the record of eight medals of any colour at a single competition by winning six gold and two bronze medals.

Now Shahin Izadyar, with an unprecedented success in the 2018 Asian Para Games, has managed to remind everyone of the legendary Phelps.

Izadyar won a medal every time he dived into the water to show his ability. During the games, he was a professional athlete. With a smile, he was always ready to swim and was coming out with a gold medal. However, few people were aware of his conditions outside the venue.

Iran’s Shahin Izadyar; A New Rival for Michael PhelpsAs his trainer says, Izadyar is a very professional athlete who has plans for each moment and gets prepared based on a well-defined schedule.

“Now, we all can boast of having a hero in the country, as the Asians boast of having such a swimmer in their continent.”

“I had plans to win six gold medals before the start of the tournament. All my plans were to make the best possible thing happen,” Shahin said.

“Of course, with respect to all football fans, my beloved team is FC Persepolis,” he noted, adding that his motivation for earning 6 gold medals was that the number is sacred to Persepolis fans.

“In general, I wanted to make Iranian people happy, and I thank God for achieving the best results. It’s really hard for an athlete at this level to win six golds. Thank God, I was chosen as the best Para Asian athlete. I want to thank all those who worked hard for me, and I would like to thank all the correspondents and photographers who were here next to me. All this positive energy resulted in 6 gold medals,” added Izadyar.

He also humbly apologized to the Iranian nation for failing to earn a seventh gold medal, and instead winning a silver one.

The 2018 Asian Para Games was a pan-Asian multi-sport event that held from October 6 to 13 in Indonesia’s capital city of Jakarta. The event paralleled the 2018 Asian Games and was held for Asian athletes with disability. It was the first time Indonesia was hosting the games.

Iran Leader: Arba’een Processions Impossible without ‘Shrine Defenders’

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

The Leader made the remarks in a Monday meeting with the families of Holy Shrine Defenders – the Iranian advisers and military personnel who are helping Iraq and Syria to fight against terrorists in the war-torn states.

“In fact, it is similar to the movement of those who were able to protect the holy shrine of the third Shiite Imam by sacrificing their lives,” added Ayatollah Khamenei.

He further mentioned that this is a great thing carried out by young people. “This was for the sake of God; as we have not encouraged anyone to do it.”

“This time it was not like the Iran-Iraq war period at which we were encouraging the youths to go to war. This time, the young people were enthusiastic themselves,” he added.

Arba’een marks the fortieth day after Ashura, the day Imam Hussain (AS) was martyred in the Battle of Karbala some 14 centuries ago. Millions of pilgrims annually convene in the holy city of Karbala to commemorate the anniversary. Many pilgrims travel miles on foot to reach the Iraqi city.

Ancient Coins Seized from Smugglers in Southern Iran

The coins were seized after the law enforcement officers in the province were informed about the smuggling of these objects in the city of Behbahan.

Two individuals involved in the smuggling of these coins were arrested by the Behbahan police before finalizing a deal to sell them.

Elymais or Elamais was a semi-independent state of the 2nd century BCE to the early 3rd century CE, frequently a vassal under Parthian control, and located at the head of the Persian Gulf in the present-day region of Khuzestan.

It is said that these people were great archers and natives of Susa, which lies to the east of Elymais territory. Most of the Elymais were probably descendants of the ancient Elamites, who once had control of that area in the past.

The coins of Elymais depicted a king; it is not known whether it was a Parthian king or a local ruler, as such information has not come to light. The royal picture is generally based on Parthian coinage, usually with an anchor with a star in crescent figure. The reverse has a figure or bust of Artemis with text around it, an eagle, or often only elongated dots.

The kingdom of Elymais survived until its extinction by a Sassanid invasion in the early 3rd century CE.

Iranian papers today widely covered the AFC Champions League semi-final match between Iran’s Persepolis FC and Qatar’s Al-Sadd in Tehran, which ended with a 1-1 draw, but led to the Iranian side’s victory on aggregate. Persepolis made history by booking a place in the final match, which is to be held against Japanese or Korean teams on November 3 and 10.

Also a top story was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s comments about Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s case, which disappointed those who expected to know the “naked truth” about the murder. Analysts believe the CIA chief’s visit to Turkey has led to a collusion between Riyadh, Ankara, and Washington, and that has kept Erdogan from revealing the truth.

Khashoggi’s Murder Premeditated: Iran President

rouhani

Speaking in a Wednesday cabinet session, Rouhani also hinted at the likelihood of the United States’ being an accessory to Khashoggi’s murder.

“No one would have imagined that today’s world and the new century would witness such an organized murder and that an [government] institution would plot such a heinous murder. I don’t think a country would dare commit such a crime without the United States’ backing,” he said.

“Looks like a tribal group that rules a country enjoys securing backing (immunity) and has committed such a crime with reliance on a superpower which supports them and which does not allow courts around the world that handle crimes against humanity to take action,” President Rouhani noted.

He said the Saudi aggression against Yemen is also supported by Washington.

“How is it that a great nation like Yemen has been under intense bombardments for several years now and the world has remained silent in the face of it? If it weren’t for US support, would Yemeni people still come under such brutal bombardments?” said Rouhani.

He said the stances adopted by so-called human rights advocates over Khashoggi’s murder is a big test for them.

The president further urged Turkey to launch an unbiased and careful investigation into Khashoggi’s murder to shed light on all dimensions of the murder “which has been unprecedented in recent decades.”
