US Annual Report on Religious Freedom ‘Unrealistic, Baseless’: Iran

By

Bahram Qassemi

“This report has once again portrayed a distorted and politicized image of religious freedom conditions in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Qassemi noted in a Wednesday statement.

The report has also raised false accusations against the Islamic Republic, which are undoubtedly unacceptable and rejected, he added.

Qassemi referred to the interpretations of religions and religious beliefs included in this report, and said, “Offering such fabricated and baseless interpretations of religions and religious beliefs will finally lead to exacerbation of interfaith crises and problems and fail to yield any positive results.”

“In order to settle religious differences and getting them [religions] closer to each other, one should strongly avoid politicizing the issue,” he noted, adding that dialogue, respect for each other’s beliefs based on human values, and respect for the followers of all divine religions are the only ways to heal such rifts.

“The US administration seems to have forgotten about this important goal and is only trying to take political advantage of the existing religious diversity in some countries in the world,” he went on to say.

“It is believed that the US does not even have a realistic evaluation of domestic situation in these countries, particularly their demographic and religious conditions,” Qassemi added.

“The great people of Iran are freely practising their religions based on the progressive articles of our Constitution and within the framework of the country’s law,” he noted, adding that Iran’s law safeguards these freedoms.

“In the time of communications and the current intertwined world, one can clearly see that racial and religious discriminations, Islamophobia, and xenophobia are prevalent and common phenomena among American statesmen,” he noted.

“Muslim people in the US are, on a daily basis, falling victim to the violent and discriminatory measures of state bodies like the police and security forces, and are targeted by the Islamophobic propaganda and measures of certain religious bodies and media,” he added.

Qassemi said the insults to religious sanctities and beliefs, lack of freedom for practising one’s religion, and attacks on Muslims’ places of worship have turned into a routine in the US.

“Instead of judging religious freedom conditions in other countries, the US government is expected to immediately take legal and practical actions to support freedom of religion, particularly the rights of Muslim people in the US,” the Iranian spokesman added.

In its latest annual religious freedom report for 2016, the US Statement accused Iran of harassing, interrogating, and arresting members of religious minorities and imposing heavy restrictions on their public and private lives.

Russian DM Visits Iran’s Cultural Pavilion in Moscow

On Sunday (August 13), Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu paid a visit to Iran’s cultural pavilion in Alabino park in the Russian capital, Moscow, where the Middle eastern country, along with 17 other states, were holding a group exhibition on the sidelines of the International Army Games – 2017.

According to a Farsi report by the Asr-e Iran news website, during this visit, Shoigu was briefed on the items showcased in the pavilion and was presented with a precious paisley fabric in a wooden frame as a sign of Iran’s long-lasting culture and civilization.

Iran’s pavilion has been set up by the cultural office of the Iranian Embassy in the main venue where the International Army Games were being held.

Iranian artefacts as well as books in Russian and English, such as the one titled “Iran, the Cradle of Peaceful Religious Coexistence”, have been showcased in Iran’s pavilion in the exhibition.

Posters featuring photos of the Sacred Defence (eight-year war imposed by Iraq on Iran) and stories of the imposed war as well as accounts of the operations performed by Iranians in that war, were put on display in Russian in Iran’s pavilion.

Among the artefacts on display in the Iranian pavilion were calligraphy works, miniatures, dishes with vitreous enamel coating and marquetry artworks. Iran’s tourist attractions were also presented in the country’s pavilion in the Moscow-based expo.

The 15-day exhibition closed on Monday (August 14).

In a statement on Wednesday, Qassemi condemned the deadly explosion in Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria, and expressed sympathy with the bereaved families of the victims.

“The continuation and exacerbation of terrorist attacks in different parts of the world shows that, despite the efforts and moves made at the international level, the world community has a long way to go in full eradication of the ominous phenomenon,” Qassemi noted.

He also highlighted the necessary of using all national, regional, and global capacities to cleanse the world of terrorism.

A female suicide bomber blew herself up and killed at least 27 others at a market in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, in an attack bearing the hallmark of Boko Haram.

Two more suicide bombers detonated their devices at the gates to a nearby refugee camp, wounding many people, an emergency services official said.

The regional Emergency Agency said 45 people were “critically injured”. The death toll could be as high as 30.

In all, at least 83 people were wounded in the three explosions near the city of Maiduguri, the epicentre of the long-running conflict between government forces and Boko Haram.

Iran’s Annual Handicrafts Exports Stand at $250m

“At the moment, the country’s handicrafts exports have tripled, and even inside the country there is a growing interest in handicrafts given the measures adopted,” said Bahman Namvar, a top handicrafts official.

“The handicrafts of every country are the first representation of that country’s culture for tourists, and, hence, are very important,” he added, according to a Farsi report by the Mehr News Agency.

He said roughly ten percent of the turnover in the country’s handicrafts sector is associated with exhibitions, which not only serve as a forum for economic activity, but also serve as an opportunity to make the public familiar with handicrafts.

He said the handicrafts sector can bring in money and create jobs.

“Official figures suggest the country’s handicrafts exports stand at $250 million annually. With just $1 million in the handicrafts sector, we can create ten times as many jobs as we can with one million petro-dollars,” he said.

“Handicrafts have a very high added value, and this industry does not need contribution by foreign companies,” he said.

He said Iran has the most diverse handicrafts in the world, adding, “We should use handicrafts in our homes to promote an Islamic-Iranian lifestyle. We should keep this culture and cultural diversity alive.”

Riyadh Testing Reactions to Possible Détente with Iran

A Saudi Arabian journalist, close to Al Saud family, has implied that Riyadh will soon have close and strong ties with Tehran and Baghdad, as the two states are useful neighbours of his country.

The Arabi21 news website has reported that the liberal Saudi journalist and publisher, Othman al-Omeir, who is known for having close relations with the ruling Al Saud family, has implicitly said in a Twitter post that his country will soon have close and strong ties with Iran and Iraq as they are Saudi Arabia’s useful neighbours.

Riyadh Testing Reactions to Possible Détente with IranAccording to a Farsi report by the Shafaqna News Agency (Shiite International News Agency), the tweet posted on Monday (August 14) by al-Omeir reads: “There is a neighbour which is useful and a neighbour which is useless; I certify that Iran and Iraq are useful neighbours.”

In his post, al-Omeir also stressed that his remarks have been made following the recent improvements in relations between his country and the other two Middle Eastern states which have helped reduce tensions and differences among them.

Experts maintain that al-Omeir’s statements are made to assess Saudi people’s reaction to future probable developments in relations among Tehran, Riyadh and Baghdad, which may lead to the creation of new coalitions between them.

Iran Produces Sheets for Direct Reduction Pipes

“By changing the composition of its products, the Mobarakeh Steel Company has managed to produce sheets used in pipes for direct reduction,” Shahrokh Pour-Mostadam, a metallurgy expert, was quoted by IMNA as saying.

He said the Mobarakeh Still Company has added around half a percent of molybdenum to iron during the process of melting as the substance increases iron’s durability in high temperatures and boosts its resistance to corrosion.

Moreover, he added, the temperature was carefully controlled in producing hot iron rolls and the standard mechanical properties were controlled.

As a result, the expert added, they managed to produce the sheets required by Iranian factories.

He said the sheets measure up to ASTM standards and are a kind of alloy steel containing molybdenum.

According to the official, Iran did not have the knowhow to produce this kind of sheets, but has now developed the technology, which saves the nation huge sums of foreign currency.

He said the sheets produced at the Mobarakeh Steel Company have high quality and are on a par with similar products produced overseas.
