Ancient Metal Melting Sites Found in Northwest of Iran

Salah Salimi, a member of the archaeological team, says the excavations, which began in early June in the historical metal workshops, have been conducted exclusively in two cities of Mahabad and Sardasht in an area of 10 square kilometres.

In the first few weeks, very significant traces of metal melting sites were discovered, Iran’s Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT) reported.

“This study focuses mainly on iron melting sites, and the difficulty of gaining access to the routes will prolong the duration of this project.”

He further stated that the exact identification of the location of works to complement the archaeological plan of the region is another goal of the project.

Salimi further pointed out that little archaeological research has been carried out in north-western Iran, especially in metal melting areas. He expressed hope that this study will be the starting point for more metallurgical studies in the northwest.

Dervish Executed for Running over Police Forces in Tehran

Mohammad Salas, driver of the bus that killed three police forces and wounded a number of others during the February 19 disturbance on Tehran’s Pasdaran Street, was executed on Monday morning.

The convict had received the death sentence on March 19 after several court sessions.

During the clashes on Pasdaran Street, Salas drove the bus into a group of police officers, killing three and wounding a number of others. In a separate attack, one member of the Basij forces was run over and killed, while another was stabbed to death.

Police spokesperson said 30 police forces were injured and many public and private properties were destroyed in the riot.

The security forces were trying to quell the disturbance involving Gonabadi Dervishes, a Sufi community in Iran.

In comments after the attack, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said security forces will harshly counter violent law-breaking to prevent a recurrence of the mob attack.

FBI under Fire for Interrogating Iran’s National Volleyball Team

Kolaković expressed his anger at the mistreatment of the national Iranian men’s volleyball team by the FBI agent upon their arrival in the US for the 2018 Volleyball Nations League.

“The Iranian team members were interrogated by the FBI agents at the airport and were forced to respond to the foolish questions raised by the agents one by one,” he was quoted as saying in a report by Al-Alam website.

For example, he said, the volleyball players were shown a number of photos to recognize the persons in them.

“The FBI held us in a small room at the airport for at least three hours. This came as the Polish national team members left the airport with smiling faces without any official checks,” he said.

He then expressed his dissatisfaction with the mechanism to hold the Volleyball Nations League and described it as totally foolish.

“How is it possible on the earth that a team like Iran has to travel from one continent to another one in one week but other teams like France, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, the US and Poland travel only between one or two continents during the matches? Why the young members of my team were denied the US or the EU visas? This is against the spirit of sports,” he complained.

On his team’s conditions, he added, “We won’t have a number of our players due to the injuries they have sustained in the previous matches.”

He noted this is not the only problem that the Iranian team is grappling with. “Despite this, we have to put our focus on the Nations League matches. In our match against the US, we didn’t have our main players like Mousavi, Manavinejad, Toukhteh, Kazemi, Sharifi, Salafrouz, Ghafour and Qaemi.”

In the fourth week of the VNL, Iran defeated the European powerhouse Poland 3-0 on Saturday and achieved a great victory against the former world champion. However, the Iranians lost their next matches against Serbia (2-3) and the US (0-3) on Sunday and Monday.

World’s Largest Mosaic Carpet Catching Eyes in Iran’s Tabriz

The design of this mosaic carpet has been inspired by the design of one of the historical and exquisite Tabriz carpets which dates back to the 11th century and is kept in the Carpet Museum of Iran.

The 42*29-metre carpet has been made with around 500,000 five-centimetre pieces of stones in 12 colours.

The mosaic structure is constructed in Shahid Beheshti Square with the aim of creating a city landscape in the centre, having the history of the Tabriz rung in mind. The project was undertaken in May 2012 as part of the square structure.

The urban space created in the Beheshti Square project is over 22,000 square metres, which includes Karim Khan’s historical mosque, metro station, Silk Tower and surrounding buildings.

Tehran’s Cafes, Movie Theatres Favourite Hangouts for Football Fans

Spending time in cafes has now become one of the most popular hobbies of the middle class people of Tehran. This is assumed as an opportunity to change the repetitive rhythm of urban life.

However, these days many young people spend their time in these cafes to watch the FIFA World Cup 2018 matches along with their friends.

According to a report by Khabar Online, one can say Tehran’s cafes have become more and more popular after the emergence of social networks.

These days, every cafe that starts working in Tehran can become popular if it attracts customers on social networks.

Another important thing about Tehran’s cafes was their thriving days during the holy month of Ramadan.

A group of coffee shop owners believe that during this month, due to the opportunity to have nightlife in Tehran, they could make money even more than normal days between the iftar time and early hours of the morning.

Ashkan, a cafeteria owner in Tehran’s Yusefabad district, says during Ramadan, the amount of income minus current expenses and monthly rent, increased by about 40 to 50 percent.

“We made a good amount of money in Ramadan, mainly because we had good number of followers on Instagram. A month before Ramadan we tried to create our own charms in the cafe to attract customers. Police and security forces also helped us greatly and let us work until 2 a.m. during this month,” added Ashkan.

FIFA World Cup; Opportunity for Cafes

In the northern parts of Shariati Street, Ms Mohebi, one of the cafeteria owners, has enjoyed a good market and is now hoping for better income as FIFA World Cup heats up.

“We did not do anything special. In fact, we installed a 52-inch LCD on the big wall of the cafe and since about 2 weeks ago we told all customers that football matches could be watched in our place. We were totally shocked when it was announced that the police were opposed to watching football in the cafes, but when the licences were issued, we really enjoyed it,” says Ms Mohebi.

She says Tehran’s cafeterias were busy at the time of Iran-Morocco match adding that certainty all cafes with licences had their own customers.

“I think this is a special feature of the Iranians who want to keep the memories of being among others alive. This forces them to get out of home and see an event in a public place. About two years ago, during the holy month of Ramadan, we were among a few cafés that had the licence to show FIVB Volleyball World League, and really received a lot of good feedback.”

Amount of Income

There are no clear statistics on the amount of income for the cafeterias which show football matches. Perhaps the main factor is that cafes do not have their own union as they should. But on the other hand, according to the official statistics movie theatre owners earn about 22,000 US dollars for screening each match.

Ehsan, one of the cafeteria owners in central Tehran, says watching football in cafes is a far better experience.

“Audiences in cafes are not faced with the limitations of a cinema, and the atmosphere is more attractive for watching football,” noted Ehsan.

Watching football in public places (cafes, parks, movie theatres, etc.) has now become one of the few options for the Iranian citizens, whether it is a derby or a match of Iran’s national team in an international tournament. This is something that could create moments to enjoy and enhance social vitality, especially during the days that the social and economic pressures of urban life are harder than before.

Iranian Minister Urges FIFA to Pay Its Frozen Money

In a Sunday meeting with FIFA Secretary-General Fatma Samoura on the sidelines of the World Cup 2018 in Russia, Soltanifar thanked the FIFA official for her hard efforts to pave the way for releasing the blocked money in the wake of the Iran nuclear deal.

He expressed hope that the money is paid to the national team of the Islamic Republic of Iran and deposited in the bank account of the Iran’s Football Federation very soon, a report by Fars News Agency said.

According to the Iranian Minister, part of the money is set to be used in the establishment of a football camp in Iran.

Iran must receive $7 million to $8 million in FIFA funds, which are allotted to teams that make it to the World Cup. The funding is aimed at helping prepare the team for the games. But sanctions on Iran’s financial sector have significantly restricted Iran’s ability to be part of any international transaction.

Soltanifar also thanked the FIFA official for paving the way for Muslim female footballers to attend international matches in their Islamic Hijab.

Iranian Women Front-Runners in Handicrafts Industry

Mitra Moeinzadeh collected Patehs out of interest and established the Kerman Pateh Museum after 35 years. There are currently some 1,000 Patehs on show at the museum.

Making handicrafts is a globally recognized cultural activity and regarded as a skill which can contribute to economic development as well.

Many women are working in the field of handicrafts, but the progress made in this domain is minimal and the art has little impact on countries’ economies. The reason is that people active in the handicrafts domain do not have the right place or appropriate infrastructure to market their products.

There are many women in Iran who make handicrafts in their homes, preserving this traditional art and at the same time earning a living. Women living in Iran’s desert areas produce different types of rugs (rug-weaving is a key handicraft skill of Kerman province), helping preserve this traditional art.

Last year, the Shirikipich rug woven in the town of Sirjan in Kerman province was registered at the World Handicrafts Council. The global registration of this art came about thanks to the efforts by local women.

What follows are ISNA’s photos of handicrafts made by women of Kerman province:
