Iran Can ‘Satisfy’ US by Restricting IAEA Inspection: Larijani

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Larijani slammed the US violation of its commitments under the nuclear deal, particularly the recent anti-Iran sanctions imposed by the US Senate, and warned that the Islamic Republic is capable of changing the situation very rapidly.

If the US thinks the IAEA’s handling of Iran’s nuclear activities is not appropriate enough, Tehran can restrict the nuclear watchdog’s monitoring activities, he noted, according to a Farsi report by ISNA.

“Americans suppose that countering the nuclear would benefit them, while they themselves will suffer the greatest harm,” Larijani went on to say.

“Iran is closely monitoring their behavior, and will respond through practical measures,” he noted, vowing that reciprocal decisions will be made in the Parliament immediately after the US violation of its commitments.

“We arrived at the scene of the incident along the west to east direction of Hemmat Highway immediately after receiving reports in the early hours of Monday,” says head of the firefighting group dispatched to the scene, Mohammad Reza Tanha.

The incident took place on July 23 at the Azadegan Highway ramp, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.

The fire flared up in the engine and spread through the wiring of the console, engulfing the whole body of the car.

“Fortunately, the incident left no casualties and the driver was taken out safely from the car by the firefighters,” he said.

According to Tanha, immediately after arriving in the scene of the incident, the firefighters set up some alarming signs at the scene and took preparatory steps to begin their operation. Then, they distinguished the fire and did not allow it to cause more damages to the car.

An investigation has already begun by the experts into the incident.

A team of assessors from the World Crafts Council have visited Iran’s southeastern city of Sirjan to evaluate “Shiriki Peech” Kilim as a World Heritage.

“Shiriki Peech” is a type of Kilim that take several people to weave.

On the first day of their visit to Sirjan, the representatives of World Crafts Council met with Mahnesa Shahsavari, who is 110 years old and also one of the last survivors of the Kilim-weaving generation.

Kilim-Weaving; A 400-Year-Old Iranian ArtAccording to a Farsi report by ISNA, Mahnesa, the oldest person among Kilim-weavers in Sirjan, Kerman province, has given some explanation to these experts on how Kilim used to be woven in low light in the past.

“At nights, I used to collect firewood from the mountains. As I didn’t have a lamp, I would work in firelight. I used to twist cotton to weave Kilim,” Mahnesa told them.

The lady, who has been weaving Kilims for about 100 years, surprised the agents of World Crafts Council with her words.

The team began their tour of Sirjan city on Saturday morning, July 22, by watching a documentary on Kilim-weaving. Then the mayor and governor of Kerman province described the measures taken to improve Kilim-weaving.

Kilim-Weaving; A 400-Year-Old Iranian ArtPresident of the World Crafts Council’s Asia Pacific Region, Ghada Hijjawi, and the Council’s regional chief, Kevin Murray, visited the stores, workshops and dyeing houses in Darestan village, which is known as the village of handicrafts.

They also visited the Faculty of Arts and Architecture of the Islamic Azad University, and the training workshops of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation.

The warm welcome received from the people in Darestan village and the activities of female weavers in Sirjan attracted the attention of the Council’s evaluators.

Needlework Kilims of Sirjan dyed with natural colours are sold for 600 to 700 dollars, and Germany is one of the top clients of these Iranian handicrafts.

According to Kilim-weaving women in the village of Darestan, the industry dates back to 400 years ago, and the art has been passed down from generation to generation in Kerman province.

Iranian Researchers Produce Eco-Friendly Bin Bags

As shown by the statistics of the International Organization for Standardization, 30 percent of the plastic products are disposable. This is while, only 2 percent of them are recycled.

Since 1970, the grave problems caused by landfilling across the globe have convinced researchers to pay greater attention to the issue of using biodegradable materials, polymers in particular, in producing bin bags.

Thus, they have decided to gradually replace plastic with biodegradable polymers in the production of certain common items. Less energy is consumed in the production process of biodegradable polymers and, in general, materials in contrast with that of common plastics. In addition, these materials are eco-friendly.

Researchers in an Iranian knowledge-based company have produced a kind of biodegradable bin bag with the trade name of “Oxazist” using oxidized nanoparticles.

These nanoparticles help modify the mechanical properties of the bin bags, according to a Farsi report by the Mehr News Agency.

The biodegradable bags’ quality has been confirmed by the Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC). Since three years ago, The INIC has been involved in evaluating the quality of nano products by Iranian knowledge-based companies and confirming their nanoscale dimensions.

The INIC is affiliated to Iran’s Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology Affairs.

Iran Vows Decisive Action on US Violation of Nuclear Deal

Iran Vows Decisive Action on US Violation of Nuclear Deal

Speaking to reporters at his weekly press conference in Tehran on Tuesday, Nobakht underlined that Washington’s fresh sanctions against Tehran would be definitely in violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

He further said the Iranian administration is pursuing the issue, adding that a group is “monitoring” the violations of the nuclear deal by the other parties.

“We will not give up any of the national rights in this agreement, and as soon as we receive official reports (on breaches of the deal)…, we will take a decisive action,” the spokesman stressed.

Last Tuesday, the US state department and department of treasury announced that they were targeting 18 Iranian individuals, groups and networks over the Islamic Republic’s missile program.

In reply, Iran’s Foreign Ministry in a statement described the move against Tehran as “cheap and useless.”

The ministry said that Tehran will respond to the US move, and added that Iran will, in turn, impose new sanctions against a number of American individuals and entities that have taken hostile steps against the Iranian nation and other Muslim nations in the region.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, US, Britain, France, and Germany) on July 14, 2015, reached a conclusion over the text of the JCPOA. The accord took effect in January 2016 and was supposed to terminate all nuclear-related sanctions against Iran all at once, but its implementation has been hampered mainly due to US policies.

Iran Condemns Deadly Attack on Afghan Hospital

In his Tuesday statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the attack and expressed sympathy with the Afghan nation, government, and the families of the victims.

At least 35 people were killed when the Taliban attacked a hospital in central Ghor province over the weekend, a presidential spokesman said today.

“When the Taliban entered the hospital they killed 35, all civilians,” spokesman Shah Hussain Murtazawi said.

Unconfirmed reports Sunday claimed that the Taliban had set the hospital alight and killed those inside.

The Taliban have denied the claim, though a spokesman said that parts of the local hospital were damaged in fighting in the area.

It came as the terrorists captured Taywara district in Ghor province after days of fighting, the latest victory by the resurgent militants.

Afghan forces control 59.7 percent of the country, according to a US watchdog’s report issued in May after the winter lull in fighting, up slightly from the previous quarter.

Iran, France’s Alstom Sign Deal for Building Railroad Cars

By
IFP Media Wire

The country has announced plans to splurge up to $25 billion over the next 10 years in the modernization and expansion of its railway network.

The deal, signed between Alstom, the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO) and Iranian Rail Industries Development Co, is for investment, technology transfer, production and export, and maximum use of domestic capability.

According to Iranian Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, Alstom will hold 60 percent of the project, while each of the Iranian companies will invest 20 percent. The minister did not give the value of the deal.

The aim of the partnership is to develop a railroad car construction factory in the city of Abhar, 227 km to the west of Iran, where 1,000 wagon units are anticipated to be built, he said.

“Given the Alstom company’s major share in this contract, we also demand the export of wagons abroad, in addition to domestic supply,” Nematzadeh said.

“According to the agreement, the latest technology in the world will be coming to the country and in the first part of the cooperation, 2,000 metro rail carriages will be provided,” he added.

Nematzadeh said separate agreements will be signed with other companies for supply of components, including engines, rails, brakes and electrical systems.

“Due to the high domestic demand, the products are currently in order to supply the country and then export,” he said.

Under its vision plan, Iran seeks to stretch out the nationwide railroad line to 25,000 kilometers by 2025 from under 15,000 kilometers now.

Iran, France's Alstom Sign Deal for Building Railroad Cars

Earlier this month, the country signed a deal worth 1.2 billion euros with Italy’s state railway company Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) to build a high-speed railway between the central cities of Arak and Qom.

In July 2015, France’s architectural firm AREP signed a $7 million deal for redevelopment of three main railway stations in Iran.

Iran itself has a sizable capacity for construction of railroad cars. Nematzadeh has already said Iran can produce five passenger train coaches and 3,000 freight wagons as well as 50-60 locomotives a year.

Much of Iran’s transportation is road-based marked by high accident and casualty rates. According to a 2012 report by the World Health Organization, Iran has the highest number of car accidents in the world in which more than 20,000 people are killed every year.

The country, with a population of 80 million, is also struggling to catch up with a runaway urbanization. Tehran and other major cities are aggressively developing a mass-transit system in which metro transportation plays a vital role.

Currently, Tehran has about 190 km of metro rail which ferries 3 million commuters every day. The network is being expanded and expected to reach 400 km when it is complete.

Connectivity is one of the key strengths of Iran, a vast country with a territory more than 1.6 million square kilometers. It is bounded by the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south, giving it a unique position to connect the countries of Asia and Europe.

Iran is a major partner in the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) project, stretching from Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf to Russia, Eurasia and Europe.

Saudi Gunboat Hit by Yemeni Naval Forces: Source

The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the official Saba news agency that the missile precisely targeted the Saudi gunboat on Monday in Hudaydah and destroyed it.

The military official further said that the Saudi vessel was carrying out radar jamming and deception against Yemeni army when it was targeted.

The attack was carried out in retaliation for Riyadh’s relentless airstrikes on Yemeni civilians.

The developments came as Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition led by the Saudi regime for nearly 27 months but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been launching deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Nearly 10,000 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
