Iranian Researchers Develop Luminous Fibres for Rugs, Carpets

The so-called “light-emitting” smart fibres look like ordinary threads, but they shine in the dark.

“The only difference they (luminous fibres) have in comparison with ordinary fibres is that they shine in the dark,” said Samaneh Balbasi, a member of the research team that developed the smart fibres, as quoted by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).

The fibres could also be used in the form of patterns that show the logo of the company producing the carpets, she said.

According to the researcher, the plan is aimed at preserving the originality of Iranian carpets and rugs.

She also said the technology can be used in other products as well.

The researcher said the plan is on the course of being registered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty before being patented.

Bank Account of Iranian Embassy in London Reopened

The bank account of the Iranian Embassy in London had been closed since 2009 because of sanctions on the country over its nuclear program.

With the recent reopening of its bank account, the embassy will be able to handle its daily financial affairs, the official said on the condition of anonymity.

The issue of Iranians’ legal and personal bank accounts in the UK has been among the sticking points between the two sides over the past years.

Back in November 2017, Iran’s ambassador to the UK Hamid Baeidinejad criticized British banks for what he described as their unwillingness to deal with the Islamic Republic, even though a growing number of European banks were doing so.

The issue had been raised by the Iranian president as well. While receiving Britain’s new ambassador to Tehran in October last year, President Hassan Rouhani said “It is essential to upgrade the level of economic, scientific, cultural and political ties and all this depends on re-establishment of a complete banking cooperation.”

There is widespread frustration among Iranian and British companies about the lack of banking ties between the two countries.

While Iranian banks have been able to open around 400 correspondent bank accounts with their counterparts in the Middle East, Asia and other parts of Europe, the UK has remained a significant gap in their networks.

In a telephone conversation with leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party on Wednesday, Rouhani said the bonds between Iran and Pakistan are beyond those of two ordinary neighbors, as they have always served as the “strategic depth” of one another.

Stressing the need for closer economic cooperation between Tehran and Islamabad, the president urged “significant progress” in Iran-Pakistan trade relations.

For his part, Khan expressed his country’s willingness to expand its relations with Iran in all fields, particularly in trade.

Pakistan held general elections on July 25 to elect members of the 15th National Assembly and the four Provincial Assemblies.

The former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan and his party won the parliamentary elections, promising a new Pakistan following a vote that was marred by allegations of fraud and militant violence.

US Disappointed with Military Options for Containing Iran: IRGC

“The enemies have found that the Iranian nation will never surrender and they need to talk with our people with respect,” IRGC Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami said.

The top general said the real problem of Iran’s adversaries is the country’s defence power and economic threats are part of their strategy to decrease the Islamic Republic’s military might.

Salami said adversaries have launched a psychological operation to create anxiety among the Iranian people over the country’s economic situation and force the Iranian government to come to the negotiating table.

“Today, Iran’s military power has increased and adversaries seek to conduct negotiations to limit this power,” he said, adding that the Iranian nation’s “deep insight” will foil all hostile plots.

On Monday, Washington re-imposed a round of sanctions against Iran that went into effect early Tuesday.

The US administration hopes the move would further damage the Iranian economy and force Tehran to give concessions on the country’s regional and defence policies.

The US has threatened to destroy the Iranian economy through sanctions.

Cheshmeh Ali is an enclosed area which Persian kings used for their summer pastime. As the historical source of Damghan’s water, the fountain is flanked by two historical mansions dating back to the Qajar dynasty.

It is one of the most attractive areas of Damghan and an ideal recreational place for summer holidays. The fountain annually hosts lots of tourists and locals who come for bathing and spending their leisure time.

The Qajar dynasty was an Iranian royal dynasty of Turkic origin, specifically from the Qajar tribe, which ruled Iran from 1794 to 1925.

It was during the Qajar Dynasty that the Iranian Constitutional Revolution, also known as the Constitutional Revolution of Iran, took place between 1905 and 1911.

The revolution led to the establishment of the first parliament in the history Iran. The Revolution opened the way for cataclysmic change in Iran, heralding the modern era.

A few days ago, Iranians marked the 112th anniversary of the day when Mozaffar ad-Din Shah of Qajar agreed to allow a parliament to be formed in 1906.

US Not Trustworthy, Iran President Warns N. Korea

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Rouhani made the remarks in a meeting with North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho in Tehran.

The president reminded the North Korean official – whose country is currently negotiating with Washington over its nuclear program – of the US’ withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“The US performance in recent years has turned it into an untrustworthy and unreliable government that does not honour any of its (international) commitments,” he said.

Ri Yong-ho’s trip to Iran comes as the US has stepped up its political and financial pressure over Iran’s nuclear energy program while calling on North Korea to be denuclearized.

After decades of arduous negotiations, Tehran and world powers reached an agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief of sanctions that were largely spearheaded by the US.

While the UN inspectors said Iran was complying with the deal, US President Donald Trump unilaterally walked out of the agreement, saying it does not go far enough to meet the US benefits.

Elsewhere in his Wednesday comments, Rouhani said that the Islamic Republic supports peace in the Korean Peninsula.

Pointing to the decades-old relations between Tehran and Pyongyang, Rouhani said the two countries need to expand the current level of cooperation and support each other in international organizations.

Pyongyang established a close relationship with Tehran by coming to Iran’s aid during Iran-Iraq eight-year war in the 1980s.

The North Korean FM, for his part, condemned the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, saying the move runs counter to international norms.

Ri Yong-ho said his country attaches key importance to its relations with Iran and said, “Expanding relations with the Islamic Republic and standing against unilateralism is North Korea’s strategic policy.”

Iran’s Labour Minister Voted Out of Office

Rabiee failed to secure a vote of confidence from lawmakers on Wednesday, August 8, 2018.

Out of the 243 legislators who cast their votes, 129 voted in favour of his removal, 111 against, and 3 abstained.

Rabiee’s impeachment came on the heels of growing unemployment and failure to create enough jobs.

During his impeachment, the minister argued that he always supported labourers. “I’m not saying that the situation of workers is good, but I was with them in most cases,” said Rabiee.

At the same time, he said that he respected the MPs’ decision.

Alim Yarmohammadi, the lawmaker representing the underdeveloped Sistan and Baluchestan Province in the Parliament, was in favour of Rabiee’s dismissal. The lawmaker argued that job creation has stood at “zero level” in his province.

The Parliament had earlier attempted to impeach the minister a few months before, but he had secured a vote of confidence and remained in office until the recent impeachment.

He was being criticized for failing to improve the jobs market and create job opportunities.

In a Wednesday message, Rouhani extended his congratulations to Zimbabwe on the successful holding of its recent elections, which concluded in a peaceful atmosphere based on the report by the Iranian monitoring delegation.

He further felicitated Mnangagwa on his victory in the election, and expressed satisfaction with the growing trend of relations between the two countries.

“I am confident that during your term in office, we would witness further development of relations and excellent cooperation in international communities,” he added.

He also wished health and success for Mnangagwa and prosperity and felicity for the people of Zimbabwe.

Millions of people voted peacefully across Zimbabwe last Monday and the turnout appeared extremely high, with long lines of voters forming outside polling stations across the country.

Mnangagwa beat Nelson Chamisa‚ the leader of the MDC Alliance, in last month’s general elections‚ and won 50.8% of the vote. Chamisa got 44.3%.

The president-elect will be inaugurated for a five-year term on Sunday‚ the foreign affairs ministry said on Tuesday.

Mnangagwa’s win in the election has already been endorsed by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa‚ Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza‚ Tanzania’s President John Magufuli and Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi announced that an Iranian election monitoring delegation sent to Zimbabwe had endorsed its voting process.

Speaking to Pupils Association News Agency (PANA) on Wednesday, Qassemi said at the invitation of the Zimbabwean government, a delegation from the Islamic Republic of Iran was sent to the African country to monitor how well the recent parliamentary, local, and presidential elections were held in Zimbabwe.

Qassemi stressed that the Iranian monitoring delegation maintains that the recent elections in Zimbabwe were held in “free, peaceful, fair and valid conditions.”
