He noted that engineering, procurement, construction financing (EPCF) studies on the development of the gas field are being conducted by a consultant.

“In the meantime, foreign firms have the chance to announce their readiness if they are interested to develop the gas field.”

Iranian FM, UN Special Envoy Discuss Syria Crisis

Iran FM Zarif- Staffan de Mistur

During the meeting held in Tehran, Zarif and de Mistura conferred on the latest political and field developments in Syria and the political initiatives to settle the crisis through dialogue.

De Mistura, who arrived in Tehran on Sunday, also plans to meet Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari.

De Mistura’s visit to Iran has come ahead of the next round of Syria peace talks in Kazakhstan’s capital city of Astana, slated to be held in mid-September.

The Kazakh Foreign Ministry said in a Tuesday Facebook post the timing of the talks would be set at a meeting in late August between experts from Russia, Turkey and Iran and “provisionally, we could be talking about mid-September.”

Astana has hosted five rounds of peace talks for Syria since January. Russia, Iran, and Turkey serve as guarantor states in the peace process. The negotiations are aimed at bringing an end to the foreign-backed militancy in Syria, which began in March 2011.

The Astana talks have so far resulted in an agreement on four de-escalation zones across Syria.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, three of the enclaves have been created to date, in the country’s sprawling central province of Homs, in the Eastern Ghouta area of the southern Rif Dimashq Province, and a southwestern militant-controlled stretch along the border with Jordan.

Pishgaman-e Asr-e Ertebabat, a production unit in the Iranian city of Yazd, has managed to indigenize the technology to make stone paper.

According to a Farsi report by Tasnim News Agency, Iran is one of the few countries worldwide that possesses the technology.

Also known as rock paper, stone paper is an extremely durable and highly strong paper-like product manufactured from calcium carbonate bonded with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The product is said to be ecofriendly as it can be recycled into stone paper again.

The unique characteristics of stone paper, such as being durable, oil and tear resistant and waterproof, are pushing it to fast popularity.

4.9-Magnitude Quake Wounds 13 People in Northwestern Iran

According to the Iranian Seismological Centre of the Institute of Geophysics of Tehran University, the earthquake hit Sharabian at 03:44 local time.

Vahid Shadinia, a local emergency official, told the Tasnim news agency that 13 people have been wounded in the quake.

“Among those wounded in the quake are a pregnant woman and a patient with heart problem, all of whom have been taken to the hospital,” he noted.

He also noted that a baby was taken out of the rubble alive, and was transferred to Sarab hospital.

The epicenter, with a depth of 7 km, was determined to be at 37.89 degrees north latitude and 47.09 degrees east longitude.

At least 25 aftershocks also jolted the same area within the next few hours.

Here are IRNA’s photos of the damages caused by the earthquake:

Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90% of the country. As a result, earthquakes in Iran occur often and are destructive.

The deadliest quake in Iran’s modern history happened in June 1990. It destroyed the northern cities of Rudbar, Manjil, and Lushan, along with hundreds of villages, killing an estimated 37,000 people.

Bam in the country’s southeastern province of Kerman witnessed a strong quake in December 2003 which killed 31,000 people.

Iran Not to Cross Its Red Lines in Cooperation with IAEA

Bahram Qassemi

“We will continue to cooperate with the agency in line with previous commitments and we will certainly not cross any of the red lines set by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Bahram Qassemi said in an interview with the IRIB news agency on Sunday.

He added that in view of its independent nature and the importance it attaches to its international standing, the IAEA was not probable to give in to illogical and unrealistic demands, which may be imposed on it.

The Iranian official expressed confidence that the Americans would not be able to impose their own demands on others, saying, “We have given necessary warnings to the agency and made necessary recommendations and will continue this trend in the future.”

He emphasized that Iran would never allow others to engage in off-limit issues in the landmark nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), adding that the IAEA inspections in Iran would be carried out only within the framework of the country’s policies.

Cooperation with the UN nuclear agency has an “unchangeable” framework, Qassemi said, adding that Iran had cooperated with the IAEA in “the best” possible manner and the agency had repeatedly verified Tehran’s full compliance with the JCPOA in its various statements.

“We will completely try to safeguard the JCPOA, because it is a multilateral agreement to which we must all remain committed and other parties must also carefully fulfill their commitments,” the Iranian spokesperson said.

Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany – signed the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Under the nuclear agreement, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran.

The IAEA is tasked with monitoring Iranian compliance with the deal, a basically technical matter that falls within the agency’s area of expertise. The IAEA has consistently verified that Iran is in compliance since the deal started being implemented in January 2016.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Qassemi urged the European countries of the P5+1 group to counter the US unilateral policies and said they must not allow any country to unilaterally undermine the JCPOA.

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley on Friday called on the IAEA to request access to Iranian military sites, in what is regarded as an attempt by Washington to undermine the multilateral nuclear deal with Iran.

“We are encouraging the IAEA to use all the authorities they have and to pursue every angle possible with the JCPOA, and we will continue to support the IAEA in that process,” she said at a news conference in New York.

Iran Not to Cross Its Red Lines in Cooperation with IAEA

The US is a party to the JCPOA, which was negotiated under former US president, Barack Obama. But the administration of US President Donald Trump, which took over in January this year, has been opposed to the accord and is believed to be looking for a way to potentially withdraw from it.

Former Iranian FM Ebrahim Yazdi Dies at 85

Ebrahim Yazdi

Former Iranian FM Ebrahim Yazdi Dies at 85Yazdi was born in Qazvin on 3 October 1931. He studied pharmacology at the University of Tehran. Then he received a master’s degree in philosophy again from the University of Tehran.

After the US-backed military coup of 1953, which deposed the democratically-elected government of Mohammad Mossadegh, Yazdi joined the underground National Resistance Movement of Iran, and was active in this organization from 1953 to 1960.

This organization opposed to the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Yazdi travelled to the United States in 1961 to continue his education and in the US, continued his involvement in political activities against the Shah. In 1967, he enrolled at Baylor University and received a PhD in biochemistry.

He was cofounder of the Freedom Movement of Iran, abroad, along with Mostafa Chamran, Ali Shariati, and Sadeq Qotbzadeh in 1961.

When the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini moved to Neauphle-le-Château in Parisian suburb from Iraq in 1978, Yazdi also went to Neauphle-le-Château and began to serve as an advisor to the Ayatollah. He was also his spokesperson in Paris.

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Yazdi served Iran’s deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs in the interim government of Mehdi Bazargan, until his resignation in November 1979.

His resignation came after Bazargan, Yazdi, and then Defence Minister Mostafa Chamran held talks with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the then foreign policy advisor to US President Jimmy Carter.

The talks outraged revolutionary groups inside Iran, and led to the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, which was later known as Iran Hostage Crisis.

How Iran’s Talks with Brzezinski Led to Hostage Crisis

After his resignation, Yazdi ran in parliamentary elections and served as a member of the Iranian parliament from 1980 to 1984.

In subsequent elections in Iran for president, parliament, and city councils, Yazdi and other members of the Freedom Movement filed for candidacy but were barred from running by the Guardian Council.

Even though he was known in Iran as a pro-US figure, the United States refused to grant him a visa in early 2017, when he needed a medical surgery.

On 27 August 2017, Yazdi died of pancreatic cancer, at the age of 85 in Izmir, Turkey, where he was under treatment. His body is due to be transferred to Iran and buried in his hometown, Qazvin.

In a message on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif offered his condolences to the family and relatives of Yazdi, and described him a prominent figure in anti-Shah struggles before the Revolution.

Zarif also wished that the former foreign minister would rest in peace in heaven.

Uber Picks Iranian-American Entrepreneur as New CEO

According to sources close to the company, Uber’s board made the decision late Sunday, but has yet to release an official statement.

Uber has been without a CEO since founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick resigned in June after an investigation into the company’s culture.

The firm is battling to repair its image after a series of scandals.

Several big names – including Hewlett Packard boss Meg Whitman and General Electric chairman Jeff Immelt – had been touted for the role.

A spokesperson for the company declined to comment on the appointment and there has been no comment from Khosrowshahi.

He has been chief executive of online travel firm Expedia from 2005.

If he takes the Uber job, he would have a steep task ahead of him. It includes repairing Uber’s corporate image, improving relations with investors and creating a profitable business after years of losses.

The Iranian-American businessman was born in Tehran in 1969. During the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, he and his family were on vacation in the State of New York, but they did not return in spite of several manufacturing businesses they ran in Iran.
