Assistant Dogs in Iran to Help Autistics Control Their Disease

Use of assistant dogs is among the new methods used by many medical centres in the world to control autism disorder in children.

“Iran has already developed a new plan to use assistant dogs to control autism disorders. The plan is now set to be implemented as a pilot plan in the capital Tehran but we are prepared to implement it in any other part of the country in the near future,” said Amir Esmaeili, a donator who has financed the plan.

He then expressed hope that the plan could provide the children suffering from autism disorder with a chance to have a better future.

Majid Sadeqi Ja’fari who is charge of implementing the plan, said a number of animal trainers have already been recruited to train the assistant dogs for the purpose.

For now at least 10 assistant dogs and 10 animal trainers along with a number of psychological teams have been stationed in nine centres, he noted.

According to Sadeqi, patients suffering from autism disorder spend at least one hour per day with the assistant dogs in the centers. “The treatment course lasts for 72 hours during which children with autism interact with the dogs that have learned certain necessary skills to deal with them.”

He then went on to say that psychologist teams begin their work in due time amid the emotional interactions made between the children and the assistant dogs.

The plan is set to become operational for the first time in Iran as of September 23. The Autism Foundation and Iran’s Autism Association are in charge of implementing the plan. A number of children with autism between 7 and 14 years old who have already been recognized will be dealt with in the pilot plan.

Efforts are underway in the same centres to develop new plans to use assistant dogs for dealing with blind and deaf people as well as those suffering from psychological problems in the near future.

Iran Says Trump Not Eligible to Chair UNSC Meeting

Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, the Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, believes after German strongman Adolf Hitler, who committed various crimes and violated numerous international treaties, no one has violated so many conventions as Trump did.

He pointed to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s upcoming trip to New York to attend the UN General Assembly, and said he must question Trump’s presidency over the UN Security Council meeting in his speech.

“This year’s UNGA has coincided with the United States’ presidency over the UN Security Council, so Rouhani’s presence should be more effective than previous years.”

He added that experts will prepare President Rouhani’s speech, but a few issues must be addressed seriously in Rouhani’s speeches and meetings at the UN.

“The first issue is the illegitimacy of the United States’ presidency over the Security Council. After the withdrawal of the United States from the nuclear deal, Tehran took a logical position and showed it is responsible towards the world. The Islamic Republic was not trapped by the US shenanigans, and adopted a diplomatic stance.”

At this year’s summit, the president should outline this position of Iran and state the costs that Iran has paid for it, underpinned Falahatpisheh.

President Rouhani should articulate Iran’s expectations from other countries in the world, and emphasise that they should not follow the sanctions of the United States and appreciate Iran’s multilateral approach, stated the lawmaker.

He added that the president should also show the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran at this summit.

Falahatpisheh’s remarks were in reaction to criticisms against President Rouhani’s visit to New York, which began with the comments of Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, the chairman of the Assembly of Experts a few days ago.  

He was strongly opposed to a possible meeting between Hassan Rouhani and Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

Following these remarks, Mahmoud Vaezi, the president’s chief of staff, called such statements “baseless”.

However, Rouhani recently said that Iran receives a message once in every two weeks from the United States to negotiate.

“On the one hand, they are putting pressure on the Iranian nation, and on the other hand, they send messages that we can hold talks,” said Rouhani.

Iran Rejects Concerns over Delayed Appointment of Envoys to India, China

In comments on Sunday, Bahram Qassemi criticized “certain people in the country’s bureaucratic or legislative bodies” who are unfamiliar with the lengthy and complicated process of selection of ambassadors but repeatedly voice concern, either deliberately or unintentionally, about the absence of ambassador to a few foreign capitals.

The spokesperson then gave a detailed explanation of the process for selection, introduction, ratification and appointment of an ambassador to a foreign country, saying the country’s diplomatic missions carry out their tasks in the normal way even without an ambassador.

Qassemi’s comments came after member of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Naqvi Hosseini urged the Foreign Ministry to immediately appoint ambassadors to Beijing and New Delhi, deploring the lengthy absence of envoys to the major partners of the country.

Iraq No Base for Anti-Iran Attacks: New Parliament Speaker

“We won’t accept [dealing] damages to Iran from the Iraqi soil. We should protect the country and our neighbours,” Mohammed al-Halbousi said in his first TV appearance after being elected as the Iraqi parliament speaker on Saturday.

Also in a Monday phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani, Halbousi described the US sanctions on Iran as “unjust”.

“Iraqi lawmakers are totally against any pressure or economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic and reject the measures as injustice. We will remain behind the Iranian nation,” he said.

The Iraqi parliament speaker then referred to the current regional instability and insecurity and said Iraq is ready to contribute to efforts underway to restore peace and security to the region along with Iran.

Halbousi further expressed his gratitude to the Islamic Republic for its support for him and said the Iraqi nation and lawmakers have always been thankful to Iran for its unconditional support for Iraq in the past and present, particularly in the liberation of the country from the grip of the ISIS terrorist group.

He also officially invited his Iranian counterpart to visit Iraq.

 

Iran to Keep Standing by Iraq

Larijani in turn congratulated Halbousi on his election as Iraq’s new parliament speaker and expressed hope that the Arab country could move towards further stability.

“I hope with the efforts made by you and other Iraqi lawmakers, we could see the completion of Iraq’s political process by the election of the new prime minister and president,” he said.

This could lead the country towards political, economic and social stability, security and social welfare, Larijani added.

He then told his Iraqi counterpart that the role played by the Iraqi parliament speaker in restoring peace to Iraq is highly critical under the current situation.

The election of the Sunni lawmaker paved the way for the creation of a new government four months after the general election.

Halbousi is the former governor of Anbar province and was the nominee of the pro-Iran bloc inside parliament.

Under an unofficial agreement among Iraqi politicians dating back to 2003, the prime minister position is reserved for Shiites, the president is a Kurd, and the parliament speaker a Sunni.

His election triggers a 90-day process that will eventually lead to a new government.

Iran’s Embassy in Greece Attacked by Kurdish Militants’ Affiliates

The attackers, about 10 people, have hurled bottles of paint at the embassy and left the scene on their motorcycles.

Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the incident, Greek Reporter news website said.

According to Tasnim News Agency, a spokesperson for the group said on his Facebook page the attack was carried out in response to what he called “Iran’s crackdown on Kurds”.

Earlier, the Iranian embassy in Paris also came under assault by supporters of a terrorist group calling itself the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan.

The attacks seem to be in retaliation for a missile attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) at the terrorist group’s headquarters in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region on September 9.

The IRGC said the missile strikes were in response to recent terrorist activities along the Iranian border with Iraq and came after terrorist ringleaders ignored serious warnings by officials from the Iraqi Kurdistan region about the Islamic Republic’s determination to dismantle their bases and the need to end their activities against Iran.

Iran FM Censures Twitter for Blocking Iranians’ Accounts

In a tweet on Sunday, Zarif took his complaint to the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, highlighting the network’s double standards.

“Hello Jack. Twitter has shuttered accounts of real Iranians, including TV presenters & students, for supposedly being part of an ‘influence op’. How about looking at actual bots in Tirana used to prop up ‘regime change’ propaganda spewed out of DC?” Zarif said.

Last month, Google, Facebook and Twitter announced the blocking of pages and accounts they said were part of an alleged influence operation linked to Iran.

Twitter announced it had suspended 284 accounts for “coordinated manipulation,” shortly after Facebook announced it had removed 652 pages for the same reason.

Zarif’s tweet comes shortly after the Doha-based Al-Jazeera network aired a program exploring the extent of the operation to spread anti-Iran propaganda by MKO.

Members of the MKO are highly active on Twitter, using fake accounts to spread their anti-Iran propaganda on the network.

The group is hated by most Iranians inside and outside the country for its killing of thousands of Iranians in early years of the 1979 revolution and siding with Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.

Ali-Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said on Monday the AEOI is interested in mutual scientific collaboration as well as cooperation in the fields of research and development in the domain of peaceful nuclear energy and its peaceful applications on different fronts.

He made the remarks in the meeting with Alexey Likhachev, the CEO of the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM.

Salehi also expressed gratitude over the growing peaceful nuclear cooperation between the two countries.

The two sides also reviewed the latest situation of new power stations currently under construction. They further discussed the production of stable isotopes used in industry and medicine. The two sides further reviewed grounds for the establishment of laboratories needed in that regard.

Likhachev, for his part, reiterated his country’s support for the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He also described as successful Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent trip to Tehran, welcoming further deepening of mutual cooperation in different areas in the nuclear industry sector.

He said ROSATAM stands ready for bilateral cooperation with the AEOI to produce reactors with average power in order to generate electricity and desalinate water.

The IAEA meeting opened in Vienna on Monday and will run for four days. High on the agenda is the IAEA’s latest report on Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA.
