The museum, which is also a member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), is the first of its kind in the country initiated in the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi.

The initiative is in line with supporting and establishing global peace. It is the first such initiative in the world aimed at helping promote justice in the education sector and giving all children equal access to classes about museums, paying attention to cultural heritage, promoting the culture of peace, raising children’s awareness, establishing a network of supporters of children’s museums at the national and international levels, and establishing a network of international mobile museums of nations’ culture.

“Iran’s mobile museum of peace culture managed by Ms Soosan Nikzad travelled to Tbilisi and began displaying items – such as spoon dolls registered on the country’s list of intangible heritage – during the flight, which was welcomed by passengers en route from Tehran to Tbilisi,” said Mohammad-Reza Pahlevan, the director of the group of museums of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department of Khorasan Razavi.

“Earlier, this mobile museum had displayed its items on the Peace and Friendship Train as well as Iran’s first Peace Ship,” he added.

“During this trip, the captain of the flight was awarded a tablet of commendation as the first ‘pilot of peace’,” he noted.

“All child tourists on the flight were also chosen as honourary members of the [group of] messengers of peace culture,” he said.

“The Iranian dolls (the ones registered on the national list of cultural heritage) put on show during the flight were donated to Georgia’s national museum,” he said.

Saudi Arabia Most Notorious Sponsor, Source of Terrorism: Iran

ICJ Ruling Proves US Sanctions against Iran Cruel: Statement

Qassemi made the comment in reaction to remarks by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir at the UN General Assembly where he rehashed baseless allegations against Iran.

“Incontrovertibly, Saudi Arabia is the most notorious supporter of terrorism in the world, and the terrorism that has engulfed the whole world, especially the Middle East, today is rooted in Saudi Arabia and the extremist ideologies promoted and sponsored by this regime,” said Qassemi while rejecting the Saudi foreign minister’s claims.

“Adel al-Jubeir proudly announces his country’s support for [US President Donald] Trump’s strategy of countering multilateralism and ruining international agreements and contracts, and this is not strange because his country (Saudi Arabia) is among the key supporters of the camp affiliated with Trump’s thoughts in the United States,” Qassemi noted.

He said the camp, in cahoots with the Zionist regime’s lobby groups and the United Arab Emirates and by spending millions, or maybe billions of dollars, try to steer the United States’ foreign policy in the path they desire, i.e. warmongering and provoking instability.

Qassemi then touched upon Saud Arabia leading a military coalition that has exposed a Muslim country in the Middle East (Yemen) to an unprecedented catastrophe for five years now.

“That the foreign minister of an aggressor country, which is to blame for the destruction of Yemen and the heinous human catastrophe there, hijacks the forum of the UN, whose charter is based on international peace and security, and that he fuels the flames of extremism, animosity, violence and warmongering, are rooted in the ideology based on which he and the House of Salman have been reared,” Qassemi said.

Al-Jubeir on Friday expressed Riyadh’s backing for the anti-Iran policy adopted by the Trump administration.

Saudi Arabia “supports the new US strategy to counter Iran,” he said in an address to the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Jubeir further denounced what he called Iran’s “terrorist activities and aggressive behaviour” and claimed that achieving peace in the Middle East required “deterring Iran’s expansionist and destructive policies.”

Iran Rejects US Accusations, Justifications for Closing Basra Consulate

Bahram Qassemi

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Saturday that the Islamic Republic of Iran censures any attack on diplomats and diplomatic places.

“The ridiculous justification [provided by Americans] for the closure of the US Consulate General in Basra, which came after weeks of propaganda and false allegations against Iran and the Iraqi forces, is a suspicious move aimed at evading responsibility and pinning the blame on others,” noted Qassemi.

Such claims are made while there are numerous overt and covert indications that foreign agents were involved in a recent brutal attack on the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Basra, he noted.

It is clear that such childish justifications by the US are part of its adventurist policies and the White House’s plot to depict Iraq as an insecure country, he went on to say.

He also said the Americans raise such claims in a bid to put pressure on the Iraqi government, which is of course a gross and condemned move.

The US has announced it will close its consulate in Basra and evacuate its diplomats from there after what it called increasing threats from Iran.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cited on Friday “increasing and specific threats and incitement to attack personnel and facilities” by Iran as the reasons for such a decision. He also warned Washington would “respond promptly and appropriately” to any such attack.

Imam Hussein; Highly Respected by Both Muslims, Zoroastrians in Iran

Rostam Kavousianzadeh, a Zoroastrian eulogist of Imam Hussein, says the Zoroastrians’ special love for and dedication to Prophet Muhammad’s grandson has a historical root and reaches its peak with the beginning of Muharram and the Day of Ashura.

“A person who devoted his life and family to a divine cause and the defence of the oppressed, definitely deserves respect,” noted the Iranian mobad.

According to the Zoroastrian cleric, his family has highly respected Imam Hussein and his children for many years. He also added that every year in Muharram, especially on the days of Tasu’a and Ashura, his family distributes free food among people.

Kavousianzadeh, who runs an office of marriage and divorce registration in Yazd, further noted that no marriage and divorce is registered for Zoroastrians during these days in a move to show respect for the month of Muharram and the Day of Ashura, when Shiite Muslims mourn the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein and his companions.

He also pointed to the importance of preserving unity among Iranians on various issues, noting that Yazd is among the cities in which the followers of various religions including Zoroastrians, Muslims and Jews live peacefully together.

Yazd province has a population of 138,000 people, and about 6,000 of them follow the Prophet of Ancient Iran Zoroaster or Zarathustra. These people mostly live in the cities of Yazd, Taft, Ardakan and Meybod.

The number of Zoroastrians in the world is estimated to be around 150 to 200 thousand, of which about 30,000 people live in Iran. Zoroastrians in Iran have a seat in the country’s parliament, and now one of the 11 members of the Yazd City Council is a Zoroastrian man.

Drinking Dodgy Booze Kills, Poisons 300 Iranians

Some of those going to clinics and hospitals are in critical condition. Kidney failure is the most important condition the victims are suffering from, so much so that at least 52 of those using fake liquor have received dialysis treatment.

Iranians in the cities of Bandar Abbas, Karaj and Bojnourd all came down with severe alcohol poisoning on the same day.

Eleven people died in Bandar Abbas alone. Officials at Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences say the number of those coming to visit medical centres in Bandar Abbas with alcohol poisoning symptoms has dropped since Friday morning, but the death toll could rise as some of those hospitalized at the ICU are in critical condition.

Similar reports were coming in from Karaj and Bojnourd. Two died in Bojnourd and as many in Karaj due to drinking ersatz booze, and a large number of people were hospitalized in the cities with poisoning symptoms. Some of them are not in good condition.

Drinking non-standard alcohol has been declared as the culprit, and police authorities in Hormozgan speak of identifying and arresting 3 people involved in producing and distributing the lethal drinks. So far, no further details are available with regards to the incident.

Two of those apprehended are a couple from Bandar Abbas who had converted their home into a workshop for the production and distribution of alcoholic drinks.

The saga began Wednesday night when a number of citizens in Bandar Abbas went to hospital.

In a short time, a large number of people with poisoning symptoms were hospitalized at the city’s medical centres. The number of those poisoned with alcohol considerably increased from Thursday morning.

The trend continued until Friday morning, said Fatemeh Norouzian, the director of the Public Relations Office of Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences.
“All the patients and those who died were aged between 15 and 60,” she said.

Drinking Dodgy Booze Kills, Poisons 300 Iranians“Except for one of them, the rest are residents of Bandar Abbas,” she added.

She says methanol was the cause of the poisoning. She has expressed concern over a possible rise in the number of victims.

“Ten of those affected are in critical condition. Moreover, there are no precise statistics available on how much of the hand-made (fake) liquor was sold,” she noted.

“Most probably, other individuals have also bought the same kind of alcoholic beverage,” she said.

“Although public announcements have been made in Bandar Abbas and across the province, our concern still has not been removed.

Alcohol poisoning also took its toll in the country’s northern provinces, further fueling the already growing concern.

Two lost their lives in Bojnourd and 12 were hospitalized. Four of the victims were in critical condition.

Also in Karaj, two people died of drinking alcoholic beverages and a large number of others were hospitalized.

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

The top story in all papers today was the latest claim made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his address to the UN General Assembly, which was widely mocked by Iranian netizens and media.

Netanyahu claimed there is an undeclared and secret nuclear warehouse in a village called Turquzabad, located in southern Tehran. However, the village’s name is close to a term Iranians use to refer to a place whose name they don’t know, or a “nowhereland”. Many journalists and people even went to the village in southern Tehran and took photos and videos to further ridicule the Israeli premier.

Several papers also covered the EU’s vow to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in order to maintain and facilitate trade with Iran under the US sanctions. Based on the new initiative, the bloc is going to open special channels for payment to/from Tehran as part of its efforts to salvage the Iran nuclear deal.

Iran’s Pavilion Shines at JATA Tourism Expo in Tokyo

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

The fair, which is said to be the world’s largest tourism trade fair, is held annually during the last week of September in Tokyo’s Permanent Fair Ground known as Big Site.

The Islamic Republic has always participated in the event with the main goal of promoting and introducing Iran’s cultural and historical attractions to the world.

Iran’s booth in the fair was inaugurated in a special ceremony attended by Iranian ambassador to Japan, Morteza Rahmani Movahed. He also met with the World Tourism Organization (WTO) Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili on the sidelines of the ceremony.

Abbas-Ali Emamiyeh, the representative of Iran in the expo, says the visitors were amazed by the diversity of products and services offered in Iran’s pavilion in the fields of tourism and handicrafts.

He also expressed optimism over the arrival of Japanese and other East Asian tourists in Iran, particularly after the recent devaluation of the Iranian national currency.

This year’s fair was attended by over 1,300 firms from 130 countries including Iran.

Iran’s Touring & Automobile Club along with three other tourism firms represented the Islamic Republic in this year’s fair after receiving required certifications from the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.

The Japan Tourism Expo 2018 was held from September 20 to 24. The fair was open to industry professionals during the first two days and to the public over the final days.

In a Saturday statement, Qassemi also offered sympathy to the Indonesian nation and government and those struck by the tragic disaster.

More than 380 people have been confirmed dead after a tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit an Indonesian city on Friday.

Waves up to 3m high swept through Palu on Sulawesi Island.

Video on social media shows people screaming and fleeing in panic and a mosque among the buildings damaged.

Strong aftershocks continue to rock the city. Thousands of homes have collapsed, along with hospitals, hotels and shopping centres.

Rescue efforts are under way, though hampered by a major power cut. The main road to Palu has been blocked due to a landslide, and a key bridge brought down.

Hesar Kharvan; A Hub of Passion Play in Iran during Muharram

Ta’zieh is among the religious customs that have been observed in Iran since long times ago. Such plays have already turned into a custom of the region.

In Iran, Ta’zieh is categorized as condolence theatre or passion play, inspired by the tragic martyrdom of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Prophet Muhammad, symbolizing the epic spirit and resistance.

Hesar Kharvan village is among the main and most important hubs of Ta’zieh in Iran.

What follows are Mehr News Agency’s photos of the ritual held in the village:

Iran Mocks Netanyahu’s Nuke Warehouse Claims

By
IFP Media Wire
-

“I really think that some people are pulling Netanyahu’s leg,” Araqchi told IRIB in a short interview on Friday.

Netanyahu’s spectacle at the UN drew swift and wide reaction on social media, with Twitter users posting largely derisive comments using #Turquzabad.

During his speech on Thursday at the 73rd annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York, the Israeli prime minister used a map and photographs of a building that he claimed was a “secret atomic weapons warehouse” in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

“In May we exposed the site of Iran’s secret atomic archive. Today, I’m revealing the site of a second facility; Iran’s secret atomic warehouse,” claimed the Israeli PM, who added, “Iran has not abandoned its goal to develop nuclear weapons.”

Shortly after Netanyahu’s speech, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif lashed out at the Israeli premier for his baseless claims against Iran, saying Tel Aviv is in no position to level such accusations against Tehran.

“Netanyahu must explain how Israel, as the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East region, can put itself in a position to level such brazen accusations against a country whose [nuclear] program has been repeatedly declared peaceful by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” Zarif told IRNA.

Israel is estimated to have 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. The regime, however, refuses to either accept or deny having the weapons.

It has also evaded signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) amid staunch endeavor by the United States and other Western states on international levels in favor of its non-commitment to the accord.

Iran has repeatedly announced that its nuclear program is merely for peaceful purposes and poses no threat to the international peace and security.

Back in June, the Iranian foreign minister decried Israel’s nukes as a real threat to the Middle East region and the rest of the world, calling for a new focus on the occupying regime’s nuclear arsenal.

In a post on his official Twitter account, Zarif said although Iran had no nuclear weapons, Israel, which is the sole Middle Eastern country to possess such weapons, continued to “howl” about “fabricated” Iranian “ambitions.”
