In a statement on Saturday, Qassemi said the ancient land of Iran with a genuine and cultured people is home to a very unique history, culture, civilisation, and democracy, and is one of the most independent countries in the region.   

The Iranian spokesman added that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the nightmare of the failed rulers of Bahrain and other reactionary states, who only suppress the majority of (their own) people, and commit crimes against the people with the support of other trans-regional countries.

In a series of rude and offensive tweets, Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa claimed on Friday that Iran has been living on the sufferings of the Palestinian people for decades and is utilising their cause to ensure that terrorist organisations, such as Hezbollah, remain.

“The biggest harm to the Palestinian cause is those who benefit from the sufferings of the people of Palestine”, the minister said on Twitter.

General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri

In these congratulatory messages, General Baqeri said undoubtedly humanity’s return to the teachings of divine religions and holy prophets, next to the boosting of friendship, fraternity and interaction among all nations, will improve the peace and stability, and would lead the humanitarian community towards truth and justice.

According to a Farsi report by Fars News Agency, the Iranian commander also noted that the teachings of prophets would eradicate such elements as oppression, discrimination, injustice and terrorism which threaten security and salvation of societies and nations.

Baqeri further expressed regret over the US president’s decision on Jerusalem al-Quds and condemned the recognition of the first kiblah of Muslims as the capital of the occupying regime.

The Iranian top commander hoped that one day all Palestinians, including Muslims, Jews and Christians could live in peace next to each other based on justice.

General Baqeri also wished health and prosperity for his counterparts and the military forces in Christian countries.

Baastermeh; A Turkmen Fish Pilau with Pomegranate

Baastermerh, a popular Turkmen food, has been around since the distant past and is cooked and served in parties and ceremonies. One of the features of the food is that it is made with pomegranates, potatoes, onions and fish, which give it a unique taste. Turkmens usually use sturgeon to cook Baastermeh.

 

Ingredients:

Rice: 500gr

Sturgeon: 400gr

Potatoes: 2

Onions: 2

Pomegranate: One deseeded pomegranate

Butter: 80gr

Olive oil: 2 spoonfuls

Crushed coriander seeds: 1 teaspoonful

Turmeric: 1 teaspoonful

Salt and pepper: as much as necessary

Liquid saffron: 2 spoonfuls

 

Recipe:

 

Phase 1:

Leave the rice in a mixture of water and salt for several hours.

Clean the fish and cut it into pieces as big or small as you wish. Mix the olive oil, coriander seeds, salt, pepper, turmeric and saffron to make a special sauce. Lie the fish in it for several minutes.

 

Phase 2:

Boil the rice in a casserole before draining it.

 

Phase 3:

Pick a casserole, put it on the flame and put some oil in it. Wait until the oil gets hot. Put potato slices inside. Lay onion slices, pieces of fish and pomegranate seeds on the potato slices respectively. Then add rice, put the lid on, and turn up the heat. When vapour begins to come out of the casserole, add melted butter to the rice and turn down the heat. Put the casserole lid back on and let the food cook on low temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.

After Baastermeh is ready, remove the lid, put a bigger dish on the casserole and turn the casserole upside down.

 

Notes:

Turkmens usually make Baastermeh in as many small dishes as there are people to be served. When the food is ready, they turn the dishes upside down onto plates.

If sturgeon is not available, you may use any other boneless types of fish.

If you are using sour pomegranates, you can add some sugar to the pomegranate seeds to make its taste better.

Iran’s Larijani in Pakistan to Attend Anti-Terror Conference

The top Iranian parliamentarian will join his counterparts from Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, China and Afghanistan for the two-day meeting.

It will be held on December 24-25 to discuss and address the challenges of terrorism and inter-regional connectivity.

The idea to hold such a gathering was put forward by Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan Sardar Ayaz Sadiq during the 2nd meeting of the Eurasian Parliaments’ Speakers in Seoul, back in June, according to Pakistani sources.

In 2015, Iran’s Interior Ministry unveiled plans for a series of joint meetings with Pakistani experts to discuss how the two neighbors can coordinate efforts in the fight against terrorism and narcotics smuggling.

Earlier in December 2014, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani expressed the country’s preparedness to cooperate with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and extremism, after gunmen attacked a school in Peshawar and killed 132 students.

Iran has always called for concerted action by the regional countries in the fight against terrorism, and has launched security and intelligence cooperation with the neighbors in countering terrorist operations, particularly along the border areas.

“ISIS Element Outraged after His Turn to Commit Suicide Ignored!”

By

Major General Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), has recounted a harrowing story about two ISIS militants.

The top general’s story indicates how deeply the Takfiri ideology has infiltrated the minds of the terrorists and how brazen the militants are in killing people.

The shocking tale shows that the acts of terror committed by ISIS and triggered by the Wahhabi ideology would not be eliminated simply by military operations, but that a well-thought-out plan and cultural work is needed to counter terrorist acts. In the meantime, as long as blatant injustice and poverty are the order of the day in the four corners of the world, there will be a breeding ground for violence and extremism.

In a video released in General Soleimani’s Instagram account, the top commander says when he was listening in on a conversation between two ISIS terrorists and their commander, he was really shocked.

The top general says he heard one of the terrorists complaining to his commander about a fellow terrorist.

The disgruntled terrorist was saying that it was his turn to conduct a suicide attack, but his fellow terrorist did not allow him to do so and assigned another militant to do the job, according to General Soleimani.

The complaining terrorist was even telling his commander that he would leave the group and defect to another terror cell because his right to carry out a suicide attack had been violated!

Iran Rejects Dutch MP’s Claim on Tehran’s Christmas Gift

Iran Rejects Dutch MP’s Claim on Tehran’s Christmas GiftA video recently aired by POW channel showed Henk Krol, the parliamentary leader of 50PLUS party in the House of Representatives of the Netherlands, dumping a Christmas gift he had received from the Iranian embassy. Krol claimed in this video that the gift had been sent only to male members of the Dutch parliament.

In reaction to the move, Iran’s embassy in The Hague said many women have been among the recipients of the message of the Iranian Ambassador as well.

According to a Farsi report by IRNA, the embassy announced in its statement that the video of throwing away of the Christmas gift sent by Iran’s embassy has been released by a cheap and yellow media.

Iran’s embassy said that every year the embassy sends a greeting card and a small gift to Dutch officials and salient figures on the New Year’s Eve.

“This year, the number of recipients of the message increased and the congratulatory message was sent to the parliamentary figures as well. Unfortunately, this person, with an incomplete and negative outlook at the Islamic Republic of Iran, claimed that the embassy congratulations were sent only to men. While the fact is that the New Year greetings have been sent to officials and personalities regardless of their gender, and many women have also been among the recipients of the greetings of the Iranian Ambassador,” reads the statement.

According to the statement, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also expressed regret at this ignorant act of the Dutch party figure.

Many Iranians living in the Netherlands have also denounced the move calling on this person to apologize.

The wide, palm tree-lined boulevards that circle the island of 100 square kilometres attract any tourist, especially during the autumn season when the weather is very pleasant. If you are energetic, walking is one of the best activities on this island, which is often called the Pearl of the Persian Gulf.

The Kish coastline is one of the least dangerous coasts in the world. Kish has gorgeous white sandy beaches for relaxing walks. The number of Kish visitors has leapt from 2.2 million a year in 2009 to 5.2 million in 2015, and an even bigger increase is expected.

Iran Hails UN Resolution against US’ Jerusalem Decision

Iranian legislator Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh has lauded the UN General Assembly’s overwhelming vote in favour of a resolution that calls on the United States to withdraw its controversial recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s capital.Iran Hails UN Resolution against US’ Jerusalem Decision

“The resolution on al-Quds issued at the UN General Assembly will draw the United States’ reaction, but as far as public diplomacy is concerned, it is a valuable resolution because [under the document] the US move was condemned at the US General Assembly for the first time, and only nine countries got on board with the Americans,” said Falahatpisheh as quoted by ICANA in a Farsi report.

He said the overwhelming vote is a clear message in the face of US President Donald Trump’s unfair policies as “the Americans failed to get other countries on board even by adopting a carrot and stick approach.”

“The United Nations had some shortcomings, but by accepting Palestine’s membership in the world body, the UN practically tried to counter the ‘ethnic cleansing’ policy of Netanyahu and Zionist extremists because Jewish and Christian Zionists claim that Palestinians cannot have a government,” said Falahatpisheh, who sits on the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.Iran Hails UN Resolution against US’ Jerusalem Decision

He said the US was trying to offer extremist Zionists the biggest service by relocating its embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds.

“The UN General Assembly’s overwhelming vote on the situation of holy al-Quds shows the United States’ carrot and stick policy toward world countries is a nonstarter, and that the United States’ hegemonic power is diminishing,” he noted.

The United Nations General Assembly passed a draft resolution on the status of al-Quds with 128 votes in favour, 9 against and 35 abstentions. The approval followed by the United States’ vetoing a resolution on the legal status of al-Quds and Trump’s financial threats against those opposing his decision to recognise al-Quds as Israel’s capital.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has openly threatened to cut off Iran Hails UN Resolution against US’ Jerusalem DecisionWashington’s aid to the countries that voted for the resolution.
