New Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile Unviled in Iran

In a ceremony in Tehran on Monday, Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami unveiled the new generation of Fateh missiles, saying the Defense Ministry’s Aerospace Organization is capable of fulfilling practical needs of the Armed Forces by turning ideas into products in a short span of time.

The minister said the new generation of Fateh, an agile, radar-evading and tactical missile with pinpoint accuracy, has been fully designed by the local experts and successfully test-fired.

Mass-production of the new missile will help Iran make major strides in boosting its defense capabilities and deterrent power, the general added.

He further stressed that the Iranian Armed Forces will never back off from plans to promote the missile industry and enhance the capabilities of homegrown missiles.

Denouncing the foreign interference in Iran’s defense sphere and the attempts to cap Iran’s missile power, Brigadier General Hatami said Iran will never allow the outsiders to interfere in its domestic issues.

In comments in October 2017, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also rejected the idea of negotiations on Iran’s defense power, stressing that the country will press ahead with the plans to boost its might and build up its defense capabilities.

“As we have announced several times in the past and announce it once again, the country’s defense capabilities and power are not subject to negotiations and bargaining,” Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time.

“We will have no bargaining and dealing with the enemy over the country’s means of defense and over whatever provides or supports the national power,” Imam Khamenei underscored.

In a Monday statement, Qassemi offered sympathy to the Jordanian nation, government, and the bereaved families of the incident’s victims.

Three suspected militants and four members of security forces were killed on Saturday when terrorists rigged a building with explosives and detonated them when police raided it.

Alleged assailants opened fire and set off explosions that killed the four security forces attempting to storm the building on Saturday night, officials said.

Police had been chasing suspects in a bombing attack Friday in which a police officer was killed.
The Friday attack was launched on a joint patrol of the Gendarmerie and Public Security Department forces in the city of Fuheis on Friday.

The clash was among the deadliest between suspected militants and Jordanian security forces in recent years.

Mismanagement, Not Sanctions, Main Cause of Iranian Currency Devaluation: Leader

Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has blamed the government for the ongoing economic crisis in the country, saying the internal factor has been much more effective than external ones like sanctions.

Addressing thousands of Iranian people in Tehran on Monday, the Leader said, “Economic experts and many of our officials agree that internal elements, rather than external ones, are behind the ongoing issue [of the devaluation of Iranian currency].”

The Leader said he does not rule out the impact of sanctions, but the majority of the problems are caused by mismanagement.

If the economy is managed in a “better, more prudent, and stronger” way, then the sanctions would fail to have any significant impact, and resistance would be possible, the Leader noted.

He harshly criticized the Rouhani administration’s performance in managing the gold coin and foreign currency markets, saying that the officials’ negligence and imprudence led to abuses in these markets.

A dramatic rise in the rate of foreign currencies has adversely affected Iranian markets in recent months.

Amid a historic devaluation of the Iranian rial, the US dollar is currently exchanged for prices above 100,000 rials in the free market.

Even a package of measures recently unveiled by the Central Bank has failed to rein in the recent turbulence in foreign currency market.

Azerbaijan President Denounces US Sanctions on Iran

In a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the Caspian summit in Kazakhstan on Sunday, the Azeri president said his country condemns the American sanctions against the Iranian nation.

Azerbaijan’s stance towards Iran is in compliance with fraternity and the international law, Aliyev noted.

He also assured the Iranian president that “nobody” could ever damage the brotherly ties between Baku and Tehran.

For his part, President Rouhani highlighted the deep-rooted cultural and religious bonds between Tehran and Baku, saying Iran believes in brotherly ties with the Republic of Azerbaijan, something beyond the neighborly interaction.

“By promoting the level of cooperation and coordination, Tehran and Baku will not allow the ill-wishers to harm the two countries’ relations,” President Rouhani noted.

Pointing to the numerous opportunities available for enhanced relations between Iran and Azerbaijan, the president called for efforts to accelerate the implementation of the bilateral agreements and joint projects.

The Iranian president returned to Tehran on Sunday night after taking part in the Caspian summit that concluded with a long-awaited convention on the legal regime of the large lake.

The five littoral states – Iran, Russia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and the Republic of Azerbaijan- also signed six other agreements in the summit.

Iran Parliament Summons FM Zarif to Explain Caspian Sea Legal Regime

Lawmaker Alireza Rahimi said Monday Zarif will attend a meeting of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission next week, ISNA reported.

Iran and four ex-Soviet nations, including Russia, signed a landmark convention on the legal status of the resource-rich Caspian Sea in the Kazakh port city of Aktau on Sunday.

The five states agreed in principle how to divide up the world’s biggest enclosed body of water.

Iranian social media was ablaze on Sunday with rumours that Iran is the main loser in the deal.

This is while Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the delimitation of the seabed, which determines Iran’s share of the oil and gas reserves of the sea, will require additional agreements between littoral nations.

The five countries have been negotiating their shares of the sea for more than 20 years.

US Owes Iran over $110 Billion in Compensation: VP

“Individuals and private firms damaged by the US’ moves in the past decades have filed complaints in Iranian courts and verdicts have been issued in their favour. By now, the amount of compensation the US must pay has crossed 110 billion dollars,” Laya Joneydi said on Sunday.

Speaking to Khabar Online, Joneidi said that following the US withdrawal from the nuclear pact, Iranian courts will begin handling new complaints against the US, and the debt is going to rise.

Back in early May, US President Donald Trump withdrew Washington from the 2015 nuclear pact with Iran reached by his predecessor Barack Obama and other world powers, and ordered tough US sanctions on Tehran.

The Iranian government has filed a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice against the US alleging that Washington’s decision to re-impose sanctions violates a 1955 treaty between the two countries.

Iran is also challenging a ruling by the US Supreme Court in the ICJ to take its money back.

Last year, the US Supreme Court ruled that Iran’s central bank must turn over $2.1 billion in frozen assets to victims of the 1983 Marine Corps barracks bombing in Lebanon, for which Iran was found liable by US courts.

 

Iran, US Could Barter Compensations

Joneidi said the Iranian plaintiffs could appoint the Iranian government as their proxy, so the government can ask its US counterpart to compensate for the damages.

The vice president said the American people claiming to be victims of Iran’s terrorism hold some 80 billion dollars in federal court rulings against Iranian government entities and officials.

Asked if the two countries could barter for compensations, Joneidi said this is a possibility.

“If there are serious negotiations and the two sides have strong will, this can be done,” she said.

Ancient Castle in Western Iran Boasts Fabulous Architecture

By
Fatemeh Askarieh
-

The castle is a historical monument built in the Qajar era.

It is located in a village in Darreh-Shahr town in Ilam province. Based on the manuscript hung at the entrance to the building, it was constructed in 1886 by then ruler Mirgholam Hashemi.

The monument was registered on Iran’s List of National Monuments in 2000.

The castle boasts the Qajar-style architecture, with four porches. Made of rocks and plaster, the building was used for both residential and military purposes at the time.

Although the monument is well over a century old, the facade of the building is robust enough thanks to its architectural style and the construction materials used in it, so much so that the outward skeleton of the monument has remained intact.

The façade of the monument has been coated with mud and plaster, and there are no empty spaces on the walls outside.

The castle has two watchtowers at its northeastern and northwestern ends. There are also three chambers for sentries, two on the western wing and one on top of the lintels at the entrances to the northern wing.

Like in other castles in Ilam, in the middle of the castle’s yard lies a square-shaped pond. Water flows into a canal branching off from a river before it passes under the wall on the castle’s southern wing and flows into the pond. The water then flows out of the pond through the northern wing.

What follows are IRNA’s photos of the castle:

Iranian Researchers Develop Industrial Drier, Breaking US Monopoly

Iranian Researchers Develop Industrial Drier, Breaking US Monopoly

Manager of the project Mehrdad Niakosari says the drier is used to dry different materials, including foodstuffs and medicinal herbs, adding the device could be used to dry materials which are sensitive to heat.

“Unlike what the public may believe, water and, in fact, the radiational-thermal energy of hot water is used to dry things,” he said, as quoted by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).

The apparatus has been optimized and is considered a “green” device, said the researcher.

According to Niakosari, the apparatus is fitted with a system which recycles water and returns it to the drier.

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”

“The temperature at which drying takes place is between 80 to 85 degrees centigrade. The system is equipped with a special polymer which functions like a window; so, heat transfer stops after foodstuffs are dried, keeping them from over-drying and suffering damage,” he added.

He said the technology to manufacture the apparatus had, so far, been monopolized by an American company, but now the monopoly is broken.

“Of course, the apparatus produced in Iran can not only be used as a drier, but has a thickening property, which is a monopoly of Iran,” he said, adding the apparatus has been patented in the United States as well.
