“Iranians Pay No Heed to Trump’s Opportunistic Comments”

By

Bahram Qassemi

In a statement on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the “cheap, worthless, and invalid” comments recently made by US President Donald Trump and the US State Department, saying, “The Iranian people pay no heed to the opportunistic claims of American officials, particularly President Trump.”

“The great nation of Iran for sure has closely watched the active participation of Mr Trump in violating the human rights of Palestinian, Yemeni, and Bahraini people,” he noted.

“Moreover, they definitely remember the US president’s malignant hostility towards the educated people of Iran, the restrictions he imposed on the entry of Iranians to America, and the arrest of many Iranian nationals living in the US on fabricated pretexts.”

Therefore, he added, the Iranian nation views the opportunistic and deceptive support of these officials for gatherings in some Iranian cities in recent days as nothing but the US administration’s hypocrisy and deception.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Constitution has provided democratic frameworks for legal support of people’s civil demands, and it is totally possible to pursue such demands within the framework of law,” he added.

“The Iranian people are the biggest assets behind the country’s security and development,” Qassemi noted, adding that the people’s turnout in the elections with the aim of deciding their fates and the active participation of the entire nation in monitoring and criticising the country’s state bodies guarantee the prosperity and progress of Iran and the Islamic Revolution.

“The Iranian nation’s insightful presence is the most important factor behind the country’s resistance to ill-wishers,” he said, adding that the Trump administration has proved to be the head of those ill-wishers.

Qassemi finally referred to 70 years of interference in Iran’s domestic affairs by various US administrations, including the US’ role in plotting and leading the 1953 coup against Iran’s national and legal government, Washington’s full support for the Pahlavi regime’s crackdown on Iranian freedom-seekers, and its all-out support for the criminal regime of Saddam Hussein during the eight-year war on Iran, and said, “The US officials are not in a position to show sympathy for the great and wise nation of Iran.”

Iran Not to Let Enemies Fulfil “Regime Change” Dream: Top General

By

-

“The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow the realisation of the nefarious and evil dream of weakening and changing Iran’s ruling system and the Islamic Revolution,” said the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, Major General Mohammad Baqeri in a statement on Friday.

The statement came as certain foreign officials, in meddlesome comments, tried to provoke the Iranian people against the Islamic Establishment.

Following a series of protest rallies in a number of Iranian cities, where people expressed their protest at the country’s economic woes, US President Donald Trump said, “Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian gov’t should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching!”

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also tried to take advantage of the popular protests to pursue their own so-called “regime change” policies.

This comes as hundreds of thousands of supporters of the Islamic Republic on Saturday poured into streets on the 8th anniversary of the “9 Dey Epic”, the day when pro-Establishment rallies in 2009 put an end to the post-election unrests.

Here are photos of the Saturday demonstrations across Iran retrieved from various news agencies:

Disabled Iranian Devises System to Make Life Easier for Invalids

Vahid Rajabloo, a disabled Iranian man, has devised a startup system which can make life easier for the disabled. The 30-year-old man has 98-percent disability and does things with only 20 percent of his right hand’s ability.

He was born with the genetic disease SMA, and gradually lost the power of his limbs. However, he has been able to earn a living for 11 years now. He is making ends meet by writing programs and designing webs. In a competition of startups, he finished third by presenting his own startup system.Disabled Iranian Devises System to Make Life Easier for Invalids

In a Farsi interview with the Mehr News Agency, Rajabloo has explained how he launched the initiative.

He has studied up to the second grade of high school only and was not able to continue his education because of his physical condition. Then he began working with his computer and learned programming on his own before entering the job market.

Before starting school, his disability was between 30 to 40 percent, which has reached 98 percent now.

“Only 20 percent of my right hand works, and I use it a lot,” he says.

He has been designing web pages for 7 years now. “I work alone. I cannot do team work because I’m not able to commute.”Disabled Iranian Devises System to Make Life Easier for Invalids

He says the system he has devised brings together different businesses which are ready to offer services to the disabled.

“For example, I can call the barber and ask him to come to my home.”

According to Rajabloo, he was also invited to an event where companies and businesses are called on to use disabled people as employees.

“They asked me to take part, and I came in third among 22 startups that had participated in the event,” he adds.Disabled Iranian Devises System to Make Life Easier for Invalids

Rajabloo also teaches computer programming. “I charge ordinary people, but teach the disabled for free.”

He says he seeks to further promote his startup system to better serve invalids.

Iranian Architect Wins American Architecture PrizeZaredar, who holds an MA degree in architecture from Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran, received the prize for designing an educational complex in Tehran for students with special needs, a Farsi report by Honar Online said on Saturday.

Elaborating on her plan, Zaredar said the building design draws on a combination of open and closed spaces. “In my plan, the closed spaces are interconnected with each other with the aim of creating a diverse space enjoying the sunlight.”

She further cited flexibility as one of the main features of her building design and said the plan includes a number of large and small spaces, each of which are designed for students with special needs who are suffering from certain physical problems.

“The diverse sizes of the open and closed spaces provide the whole system with an opportunity to survive,” she noted.

The American Architecture Prize has turned into one of the most respected awards in the industry and aims to showcase the phenomenal talent and vision displayed by architects all over the world. AAP winners have their work showcased to a worldwide audience, receive the AAP trophy, and enjoy extensive publicity throughout a year.

Back in 2015, Zaredar had managed to win the prestigious International Design Awards (IDA) as the “Phenomenal Talent” of year.

The International Design Awards are a group of awards that recognize, celebrate and promote design visionaries and emerging talent in architecture, interior, product, graphic and fashion design.

Two More ATR Planes Land in Tehran

Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran has issued the registration licence and flight permit for the two 70-seat jets. With this delivery, the number of airplanes received by Iran after the nuclear deal will reach 11.

Iran Air, the country’s flag carrier, signed a contract with ATR back in April to purchase 20 ATR 72-600 planes worth $400 million based on list prices.

Six of the turboprop short-haul regional airliners have already been delivered to Iran so far, according to the Mehr News Agency.

The nuclear deal—otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—led to the removal of international nuclear-related sanctions against Iran on January 2016. In exchange, Tehran has committed to limit the scope of its nuclear program.

Iran has taken major steps in boosting its aviation sector post sanctions. To renew its fleet, Iranian airlines have ordered a total of 323 (with the option of adding 50 more) new jets worth tens of billions of dollars from the world’s giant aircraft makers, namely Airbus, Boeing and ATR.

So far, Iran Air has received nine airplanes (one Airbus A321, two Airbus A330 and six ATR 72-600), Financial Tribune reported.

Some Iranian airlines are opting for secondhand aircraft to renew their fleet. Iran’s fourth largest airline, ATA, took delivery of its first Embraer ERJ 145 jet in mid-December. The 50-seat jet is the first of 15 aircraft, which has been purchased by the airline.

 

Mohammad Reza Zonnouri, the owner of the airline, said ATA expects to take delivery of all of the planes by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2018), noting that his firm might purchase more Brazilian planes in the future if they help raise profitability.

US Push for Economic Collapse of Iran Has Gone Nowhere: VP

Speaking in a ceremony in Tehran, Jahangiri cited the JCPOA as one of the main achievements of the administration of President Hassan Rouhani and said the nuclear deal was expected to create an appropriate and positive opportunity for Iran to develop.

“However, the US is seeking to hamper any efforts to create an appropriate ground for Iran’s growth,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by Khabar Online.

He also noted Iran needs to turn the current threats it is facing into opportunities. “We are facing some big challenges like unemployment and regional and international threats which should be turned into opportunities.”

Jahangiri also said, to resolve economic problems, the Iranian government needs to establish international communications with the world and to take advantage of its current domestic capacities.

Jahangiri called on the Iranian elites to reach consensus on the main problems that the country is facing today and added “to resolve the problems we need to allocate the required resources to bridge the current gap of social division and create consensus on the main issues.”

He then expressed hope that the elites would provide the government with new and creative solutions to the current problems.

Elsewhere in his address, the first vice president said if Iran wants to become a law-oriented country, it needs to create an appropriate ground for establishing civilian institutions and free political parties.

Jahangiri noted democratic principles should be applied to all social and economic fields as well.

He finally called on the political parties and factions inside the country to join hands to remove the problems of the country.

Iran Condemns Terror Attack on Cultural Centre in Afghanistan

In a statement on Thursday, Qassemi denounced the attack on the cultural centre and the office of the Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) in Kabul, which killed and wounded dozens of Afghan scholars, intellectuals and university students and professors, who had come together in a cultural-religious gathering.

Qassemi also expressed condolences to the Afghan government and nation as well as the survivors of the victims of the tragedy, especially the reporters and intellectuals’ communities.

“Launching attacks on cultural and information centres as well as institutions of intellectuals, whose thoughts and words shed light on extremist and violence-oriented ideologies, shows the great extent of terrorist masterminds and elements’ hatred of, and grudge against freedom of expression, awareness, cognition, thinking and unity of Afghan people,” he said.

“Following their heavy defeats, bird-brained ill-wishers and hate-mongers see, more than ever before, that regional chaos and unrest as well as killing innocent people will serve their petty interests.”

“Vigilance by the Afghan government and people as well as unity among all ethnic groups together with cooperation among all regional countries holds the key to overcoming hardships and merciless terrorists’ endless grudges and enmities,” he said.

At least 40 people died and 30 more were injured in a terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, the deputy spokesman of the Interior Ministry said.

Hossein Bonyadi has been asking bakeries in the city of Zabol to contribute to the program. So far, he has managed to get 87 bakeries on board.

“Most of the 87 bakeries, which are members of the plan, have been able to build confidence and advance the program,” says Bonyadi.

According to a Farsi report by Mehr, he says the needy families who live in the vicinity of each bakery take priority.

“The more contributions are made by the people, the more [needy] individuals will be covered [by the plan],” he says.

He has also explained how the bakeries are picked and how the plan is implemented.

“We choose all the bakeries in the city as well as in satellite towns and villages for the plan, talk to them one by one and tell them how the job is done. Based on the statistics we have received from the Bakeries’ Union, there are around 160 bakeries in Zabol and we intend to take all of them on board with the plan,” he notes.

Based on the plan, he says, arrangements are made to use public contributions to pay for the bread that needy families buy from bakeries.
