Wedding Ceremony of Iranian Acid Victim Goes Viral

Marzieh Ebrahimi, a young Iranian girl who fell victim to an acid attack years ago, has tied the knot. Her marriage has turned into the most high-profile one in the country, not because she is a celebrity or an artist, but because she is the victim of an acid attack.

Back in 2014, Marzieh had an appointment with a dentist and was stuck in traffic in the central Iranian province of Isfahan. She rolled down her car’s window only to see a huge volume of pure acid splashed on her face.

Unfortunately, she lost part of her face and the cornea of an eye in the acid attack. Marzieh had not been heard from for a long time. However, the news of her marriage made headlines in media, particularly in social media.

The news was so impressive that Navid Mohammadzadeh, a renowned Iranian actor who plays the role of an acid-attacker in one of his movies (Lantoori), has posted on his Instagram page about that.

Wedding Ceremony of Iranian Acid Victim Goes ViralThe man who married Marzieh did so without paying attention to her appearance. This beautiful and impressive development can send important messages to young couples.

The top story in all Iranian newspapers today was the Monday referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistan’s independence. The referendum is being held despite international and regional opposition and warnings by its neighbours. Newspapers widely covered the move by Iran and Turkey to close their airspaces to the Iraqi Kurdistan at Baghdad’s request.

The remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an interview with CNN about the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers also received great coverage.

Meanwhile, reformist papers covered the speculations about incumbent Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani’s possible bid for presidency in 2021 as a reformist candidate, and quoted reformist figures as saying they have better options for the next presidential votes. The speculations were raised after Larijani, in a ceremony, sat next to reformist leader Seyyed Mohammad Khatami and had informal talks with him.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:

Kurdish Referendum: Voting Begins despite Regional Warnings

Kurdish Referendum: Voting Begins despite Regional Warnings

The referendum has begun as the Iraqi government asked the autonomous Kurdish region to hand over control of its international border posts, its international airports and called on foreign countries to stop importing Kurdish crude oil.

On the eve of the controversial independence referendum, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said his government will take “necessary measures” to preserve national unity.

“To take a unilateral decision affecting the unity of Iraq and its security, and the security of the region, with a referendum on separation is unconstitutional and against civil peace,” al-Abadi said on Sunday.

“We will take the necessary measures to preserve the unity of the country,” he said, without specifying what action his government might take. “We won’t engage with the referendum or its results.”

Abadi had warned earlier of military intervention if the referendum led to violence.

He also said the poll remains “unconstitutional”, reiterating that Baghdad “will not recognize its outcome”.

“We will never forsake our Kurdish citizens, their security and welfare. We reject the sectarian, racist state,” Abadi said, alluding to the independent state sought by the Kurds.

He said leaderships had the duty of “protecting civilians from surrounding dangers rather than endangering them and implicating them in useless conflicts,” in an obvious repetition of his earlier warning that the vote could spark a civil war.

Abadi also accused Kurdistan government of corruption as for its handling of oil production at areas under its control. Oil revenue sharing had been a central issue of dispute between Baghdad and Erbil.

Barzani, meanwhile, said in a concurrent press conference that Kurdistan was going ahead with the referendum, adding that “partnership with Iraq is over”.

“It was Baghdad that had declined to accept us,” Barzani said, adding that his government had sought to resolve issues of dispute with Baghdad through the international community.

He, however, said Erbil would engage in “open negotiations” with Baghdad after the referendum, adding that security cooperation would continue regarding the war against Islamic State militants.

“We will not allow a war to break out among Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen,” Barzani stated.

Kurdistan predicts 900,000 to vote in the poll rejected by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and regional powers Turkey and Iran.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said it did not recognize the referendum and would view its outcome regarding a future Kurdistan as null and void, adding that the Iraqi Kurdish government was threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and the whole region.

Iran also warned the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) against holding the referendum, and said it would stop its cooperation and close its borders with the autonomous region.

Iran and Turkey both closed their airspace to the Iraqi Kurdistan on Sunday at the request of Baghdad.

Merkel Wins 4th Term as Far-Right Surges in German Elections

Angela Merkel

Merkel’s party won the majority of votes and became the largest party in the Bundestag with an estimated 218 seats. However, the Party’s score, sharply down on the 41% of the vote it collected in the previous 2013 elections, was widely seen as disappointing and is likely to leave Merkel diminished on the domestic political stage.

Merkel’s main rivals (and outgoing coalition partners), Martin Schulz’s Social Democrat SPD, crashed to just over 20% and a projected 138 seats. Within an hour of the first exit poll, Schulz confirmed statements by other senior party figures that the SPD would not renew its “grand coalition” with the CDU but head into opposition.

The far-right, anti-immigration AfD made a historic breakthrough, winning 13.5% of the vote and a projected 87 seats and becoming the first overtly nationalist party to sit in the Bundestag in 60 years. The party’s performance marks a major shift in Germany’s postwar politics that is likely to produce a very different tone and dynamic inside the Bundestag.

The SPD’s decision to become the official parliamentary opposition leaves the only feasible coalition for Merkel a three-party tie up between the CDU/CSU, the pro-business FDP party who scored 10%, and the Greens, who won 9%: the so-called black-yellow-green Jamaica coalition, which has worked at state level but never been tried in federal government. This could prove tricky to negotiate, The Guardian reported.

Merkel said in her post-election speech that the CDU had hoped for a better result but had faced – referring to the 2015 migrant crisis – an “extraordinary challenge” and had still managed to remain Germany’s largest party. She pledged to listen to AfD voters and win back those she could with “good politics”.

The AfD promised “constructive opposition” in parliament but the Greens have already complained that “Nazis have returned to parliament”.

Trump Following Footsteps of Goebbels: Iran’s Larijani

By

“It seems Trump is following the footsteps of Goebbels when it comes to lying,” Larijani said on Sunday, referring to Joseph Goebbels, the German politician and Reich Minister of Nazi Propaganda who was notorious for his big lies.

“Trump speaks of Yemen crisis but closes his eyes to the fact that it is the US which is providing Saudi Arabia with deadly weapons to target the oppressed nation of Yemen,” he noted, according to a Farsi report by ICANA.

Larijani further referred to Trump’s repetition of his baseless statements about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), saying, “This is a source of shame that the US president keeps uttering such baseless statements.”

The Iranian parliament speaker called JCPOA an international treaty adopted by the United Nation’s Security Council. “The US has been wriggling out of its commitments under the nuclear deal. But this was the Iranian nation who had been dealing with the negative approach with constructive behaviour.”

“We warn the US that it may reach an irreversible point,” he added.

Larijani said Trump has received a due response by the Iranian president in the UN. “We also saw how isolated the US and the Zionist regime were when most of the world’s states voiced their support for the JCPOA.”

Larijani also said Trump spoke in the UN in the language of disco-owners. “His absurd tone as the US president reveals the declining trend of the US status in the world,” he added.

He also raised this question that ‘wasn’t it better for Trump to make a logical stance towards Myanmar massacre instead of levelling baseless accusations against Iran with a foolish and aggressive language?’

”It seems Trump, because of his low-level mentality, has not yet realized the fact that the world has changed. Today the nations have waken up and come to this conclusion that the Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved its goals drawing on the nation’s hard efforts and despite the East and West’s conspiracies.”

The parliament speaker said the Iranian nation has managed to turn itself from a puppet of the US in the region into a proud nation with freedom-seeking causes.

“All states have observed and realized this change in the Iranian nation. So we are witnessing a political vigilance among the Islamic nations which will not be reversed with some leaders’ hollow statements like those of Trump,” he added.

He referred to some parts of Trump’s anti-Iran rhetoric and said the US is seeking to establish its own puppet government in Iran. “But, I tell Mr. Trump that the Iranian nation has been living with satisfaction over the past four decades under a government which overthrew your puppet government and replaced it with a democratic one.”

Larijani said Trump is lagging behind world developments for at least half a century and added just recently more than 70 percent of Iranians went to the polls and elected their next president. “I’m wondering why the US president has not yet seen the huge turnout of Iranian people,” he noted.

He also pointed to the US election saying Trump came to office with Electoral College instead of public votes. “Now the main question is which system is closer to the real democratic values, the Iranian system or that of the US,” he asked.

The Iranian official also said it seems the US officials are suffering from mental inversion. “As the US former secretary of state confessed, the US created ISIS to press ahead with its plans in the region. But it was Iran who rushed to defend the innocent people of Iraq and Syria who came under brutal attacks of ISIS.”

Iran Stops All Flights to/from Iraq’s Kurdistan Region

Kurdistan

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has closed the country’s airspace to Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan ahead of its Monday referendum.

“At the request of Iraq’s central government, all flights from Iran to Sulaymaniyah and Erbil airports as well as flights entering the Iranian airspace from the Kurdistan region will be stopped,” said Kayvan Khosravi, the spokesman for the council.

He said the council held an extraordinary meeting to review the Iraqi central government’s request that Iran block its air borders with the Kurdistan region.

“Given the failure of our country’s benevolent political efforts and the insistence of officials of the Kurdistan region on the holding of a referendum in the region, Iran’s air borders were closed, at the request of the Iraqi central government, for flights coming in from the Kurdistan region,” he said.

“Based on the decision, all flights from Iran en route to airports in the Kurdistan region have also been stopped,” said the spokesperson.

“Hasty decisions by some authorities of the Kurdistan region will not only restrict Kurds’ power of playing a role and involvement in constructive talks in [determining] Iraq’s sovereignty, they (the decisions) will also compromise the security of the Kurdish and Iraqi people as well as regional nations.”

Iran’s move was immediately echoed by Turkey, which closed its airspace to the Iraqi Kurdistan at Baghdad’s request.

Kurdistan Referendum Part of Israel’s Plot: Iranian MP

By

An Iranian Kurdish lawmaker has referred to the decision of Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government to hold an independence referendum as a plot hatched by the Israeli regime.

The representative of Kurdish-majority city of Boukan in the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Qassim Osmani, said all Iranian Kurdish lawmakers are totally against KRG’s referendum vote as the vote is a plot hatched by the Zionist regime.

In his address to the open session of Iranian parliament on Sunday, Osmani also noted that the current chaos in the region is too harsh to abide by. “Unfortunately the efforts to tackle the current problems are not strong and determined enough,”  he said, according to a Farsi report by ICANA.

There are conflicting reports as to whether a referendum on possible secession of the Iraqi Kurdistan on Monday will go ahead as planned after several regional officials warned the vote could have serious consequences.

A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government traveled to Baghdad Saturday for talks with the Iraqi government and unconfirmed reports said Kurdish leaders had accepted to stay the plebiscite.

Iraqi Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani also delayed a scheduled news conference on the referendum as international pressure mounted for a postponement.

However, the high council for referendum affairs which is supervised by Barzani, rejected reports of a postponement as rumors, the Kurdistan 24 broadcast news station said.

The Israeli regime has come out in apparent support of the controversial referendum. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Tel Aviv regime “supports the legitimate efforts of the Kurdish people to attain a state of its own.”

Iraqi Vice President Nouri al-Maliki, however, has denounced the referendum in northern Iraq, warning that Baghdad would not tolerate the establishment of “a second Israel,” after the occupying regime became the only entity to support the so-called plebiscite.

Zionist Lobby Groups Trigger Anti-Iran Policies in US: MP

Iranian MP Jalil Rahimi Jahan-Abadi says the lobby groups including American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) play an important but invisible role in the US decision making circles.

As a senior member of the Parliament’s Judicial Commission, Jahan–Abadi also said AIPAC has triggered most of the US anti-Iran policies over the past decades including imposing sanctions on Iran under Bill Clinton and calling Iran a member of axis of evil under George W. Bush.

He went on saying that AIPAC also has an influential role in the White House and the Congress and added most of the lobby groups like AIPAC in the US work to meet Israel’s demands.

“To this end, most of the anti-Iran policies of the US are triggered by such groups,” he noted, according to a Farsi report by ICANA.

Jahan-Abadi said a great part of these groups’ animosity with the Islamic Republic of Iran is due to Iran’s support for the oppressed people of Palestine in the face of Israel’s brutal aggression.

“That’s why the lobby groups in the US are working hard to inflict a blow on the Islamic Republic by manipulating the decision makers of the US,” he said.

According to Jahan-Abadi, the AIPAC’s influence in the decision making circles of the US goes beyond the official power centers in the country.
