Davoud Alizadeh is a 58-year-old farmer in northern Iran. He is from a village in Sowme’eh Sara town in the northern province of Gilan. He has been planting sugar cane and producing sugar in a traditional way for about 40 years. According to him, all the villagers are involved in farming sugar cane and have their own traditional sugar-producing workshops.

Alizadeh says after harvesting and drying the canes, he and the villagers have to work non-stop for about 10 hours to produce sugar. During the process, they have to actively oversee and put hard efforts into completing the process to produce sugar.

The pictures below, retrieved from IRNA, portray a detailed process of traditional sugar producing:

In an address to the Tenth Conference of Hand-Woven and Pictorial Carpets held in the city of Qazvin, Mohammad Mehdi Farshchi, the deputy head of Iran’s National Carpet Centre, said within the last Iranian calendar year, the Islamic Republic has exported carpets worth over $295 million to the world.

“With a 33-percent increase this year, Iran exported carpets worth $395 million to 78 countries,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by the Fars News Agency.

He further noted that the government is resolved to develop the country’s non-oil exports.

“To this end, exporting hand-woven carpets can play a key role particularly because of the huge demand for Persian rugs which enjoy a top international status,” he concluded.

Iranian Breakfast; A Meal with Great Diversity

In the Iranian culture, the easiest and most ordinary breakfast is hot traditional bread with cheese and sweet tea, served with walnuts and sometimes cucumbers and tomatoes.

Other Iranian breakfasts include Haleem (a pudding popular in the Middle East that includes wheat or barley, meat, and sometimes lentils), Sholeh-Ghalamkar Soup (Hodge-Podge Soup), Kalleh Pacheh (a dish of boiled sheep or cow’s feet and/or head), fried eggs, omelette, butter, jams and honey, along with the most delicious Iranian breads like Sangak, Barbari, Taftoon, and Lavash.

One-fifth of the daily energy intake should be provided by eating breakfast. It is best to include several different food groups in your breakfast. Milk, cheese, eggs, lentils soup and even nuts are protein sources, while bread, cereals, fruits, vegetables, honey and jams are sources of complex and simple carbohydrates. Of course, sugar and fats (such as jam, butter and cream) should be consumed at a low level.

Iran Calls on China, Pakistan to Join Fight against Terror

Iran Calls on China, Pakistan to Join Fight against Terror

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani made the appeal during a two-day conference on terrorism, which began in Islamabad Sunday with the participation of his counterparts from Pakistan, Russia, China, Turkey and Afghanistan.

“We need to strengthen alliances like the one between Iran, Russia and Turkey, because these meetings can play a role in this regard, and if China and Pakistan also help us in this matter, we will certainly succeed,” he said.

Larijani said the US-led coalition was supposed to eliminate terrorism in Afghanistan and stem the production and smuggling of narcotics, but it has not made any headway in either field.

On the contrary, “the fight that Iran, Russia and Turkey have had in Syria has been successful given the blows which it has dealt to Daesh,” the speaker added.

Larijani mocked President Donald Trump’s claims that the US and its allies “crushed … (Daesh) terrorists on the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, and will continue pursuing them until they are destroyed.”

“You were the ones who created Daesh. How are you now claiming to fight terrorism? This is a funny claim,” he said, referring to Trump’s remarks while unveiling US National Security Strategy earlier this month.

The American strategy in the region has led to a “security mess”, Larijani said, adding the US is after a “new adventurism” through its decision to declare Jerusalem al-Quds as the so-called capital of Israel.

“What motivations did the Americans have in their plan to move their embassy to al-Quds? Everyone saw that the whole world reacted to this decision,” he said.

Larijani said the US today has turned into “a symbol of an evil state.”

“The issue of terrorism in Iraq and Syria has not been resolved yet and the Americans have stirred the issue of Palestine. The people of the world and the Palestinians will certainly not remain silent on this measure and start a new intifada.”

Museum of Sound to Open in Iran's Tabriz

The Museum of Sound will open in the city of Tabriz, the capital of the northwestern Iranian province of East Azarbaijan, marking the designation of the city as the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) capital of tourism in 2018.

Over 300 items related to “sound” will be showcased at the event; reports the Persian-language Mehr News Agency.

The Iranian musician and researcher Hossein Sajedi has collected the items over the past three decades; Mehr quoted the Iranian Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization as saying.

According to the researcher, not only will the museum serve as a tourist attraction, preserve treasure troves of artworks and promote the lofty status of the Iranian culture; but it can also be used for research and training, as well as reinforcing the country’s cultural pillars to hold back intrusive cultures.

He said music is the common language of all nations around the world, and that is why cultural inroads into other societies and penetration into other nations’ cultural structures are made through music.

The researcher added a whole variety of musical instruments; including strings, percussions and wind instruments, will be put on show at the museum.

Audio files of calls to prayers, holy Quran recitations and other religious and national events will also be displayed at the museum, said the researcher.

Among other items to be showcased in the Museum of Sound are old doorknockers, bells, radios, gramophones, black-and-white televisions, etc., he said.

Dazzling Meteor Showers in Iran’s Skies

A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories.

Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth’s surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1000 meteors an hour.

Two meteor showers known as The Perseids and The Geminids mostly happen in December, around the winter solstice, and are more attractive than the others.

They were visible in many parts of Iran in the last days of autumn. The following photos by IRNA have been taken in Vafs village and Meighan Wetland near Arak in Iran’s Markazi Province:

Iran Urges France Not to Fall into Trap of US’ Wrong Policies

Iran-France

“The French are sometimes influenced by the allegations raised by the enemies of the Islamic Republic and those who promote Iranophobia project,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday.

Speaking in his weekly press conference, Qassemi urged the European statesmen, particularly the French, not fall into the trap of wrong policies pursued by the US and some of its foolish allies.

He also called on the new French government to understand the significance of Iran and avoid making mistakes to appease certain countries.

Qassemi referred to “certain wrong, illogical, and inappropriate remarks” made by some French officials about Iran and the region during the past weeks, and said Tehran has previously responded to such allegations.

“We certainly have common points in many issues, but there is no doubt that we don’t have the same opinion on certain areas,” he added.

The French foreign minister will soon visit the Iranian capital to discuss bilateral and regional issues, he said.

Qassemi also pointed to the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Iran, and said it is on the agenda of both countries, but no date has been specified for it.

“We welcome the exchange of delegations between Iran and France,” he said, adding that there is no preconditions for Tehran-Paris negotiations.
