“The strategy of the [Iranian] Armed Forces is to eliminate ISIS elements if they come closer than 40 kilometres of the country’s borders,” Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army Brigadier General Ahmad Pourdastan said.

On whether or not there is a possibility of an armed conflict with ISIS operatives on the country’s borders, the top general said, “There are some ISIS forces in Iraq’s eastern Diyala province; of course, our troops have full intelligence about them.”

“Today, the Army’s ground forces are stationed along the country’s western borders with Iraq’s Diyala province, and we are keeping a close watch [on any movements] and there is no need to worry,” said the general, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.

Iranian Acid Attack Victim Hopes to Regain Sight

Iranian Acid Attack Victim Hopes to Regain Sight

Iranian Acid Attack Victim Hopes to Regain SightSoheila Jorkesh, who lost her sight in an acid attack back in 2014, underwent a difficult surgery in Boston back on Friday. The result of the surgery is going to be declared within a few days.

Before the surgery, she had expressed hope she would regain her sight after the seven-hour operation, which was to be held for the first time in the world.

“I’d like to fulfil my wish to meet my favourite president, Hassan Rouhani, after the surgery,” she said in a Farsi interview with ISNA.

Jorkesh also said after the surgery she would like to thank Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iranian interior ministry official Javad Zarrinkolah, Vice-President for Women and Family Affairs Shahindokht Molaverdi, Mr Mehrabadi and all other officials who supported her during her treatment period.

“I’m eager to meet them as well as all nice Iranians living in the US city of Boston,” she said.

She went on saying that after four months of hardship and suffering, the Food and Drug Administration finally issued the license for the surgery on her left eye.

“Since my chance to regain sight has been too low or near to zero in most surgeries, my doctor has decided to perform a major surgery which is being carried out for the first time in the world. That’s why we needed a license from the FDA,” she added.

Jorkesh also said the surgery was the last chance for her to regain the sight of her left eye and called on the Iranian people to pray for her.

She expressed hope that one day comes when peace and love replace violence and brutality across the world.

Jorkesh had earlier undergone several surgeries on her left eye to regain sight, but all the surgeries ended up in failure.

She is one of the victims of Isfahan acid attacks in 2014. At least one woman was killed in the attacks and Jorkesh lost her left eye’s sight. Many more suffered severe burns to their hands and faces.

Following the acid attacks on Iranian women, President Rouhani ordered the relevant organizations to find culprits behind the inhumane assaults.

Iran Not to Forgive Perpetrators of Attack on Iran Air Flight 655

Iran Not to Forgive Perpetrators of Attack on Iran Air Flight 655

On July 3, 1988, the commercial airliner Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from the US Navy’s USS Vincennes. The airplane was destroyed between Bandar Abbas and Dubai; all 290 passengers and crew died.

In a statement released early on Monday, the Iranian foreign ministry once again condemned the tragic attack, and stressed that the Iranian nation will never forgive those behind the anti-human crime.

Here is the full text of the statement:

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Iran Not to Forgive Perpetrators of Attack on Iran Air Flight 655The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemns the cowardly and inhumane action of the US Navy that shot down an Iranian passenger plane on July 3, 1988, and also commemorates the martyrdom anniversary of the terrible crime’s victims.

A look at the United States’ long history of inhumane killing of innocent people around the world, including the innocent people of Iran, shows that adopting anti-human behaviour to achieve one’s goals has become institutionalized among different US administrations.

The Iranian nation believes the perpetrators of this tragic event are irrational pretenders who commit crimes under the cover of protecting human rights and defending nations, while they have to be held accountable for their anti-human behaviours.

In the end, we pay tribute to the martyrs of this painful tragedy and express our sympathy to the families of the victims of this anti-human crime, announcing that the Iranian nation has never forgotten this tragedy, and will not forgive its perpetrators.

CWC Efficacy Undermined by Non-Signatories: Iranian Official

CWC Efficacy Undermined by Non-Signatories

So long as there remain players outside the CWC, the world would not be immune to the threat of chemical weapons, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday, speaking at a conference in Tehran on the 20th anniversary of coming into effect of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the 30th anniversary of massacre of civilians in Iran’s northwestern city of Sardasht in a chemical attack by the Iraqi army.

He also said that terrorist groups’ access to chemical weapons, as in Syria, has jeopardized all efforts for countering those weapons.

Araqchi then called on all CWC signatories, particularly the US, to honor their commitments and destroy their stockpile of chemical weapons.

The Chemical Weapons Convention entered into force in 1997 and currently has 192 states-parties. Only Israel has not ratified the convention.

CWC aims to eliminate an entire category of weapons of mass destruction by prohibiting the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer or use of chemical weapons by states parties.

All states parties have agreed to chemically disarm by destroying any stockpiles of chemical weapons they may hold and any facilities which produced them, as well as any chemical weapons they abandoned on the territory of other states parties in the past, according to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) website.

Qutaiba was burned on Sunday, July 2, in Tal Afar before the eyes of dozens of ISIS armed terrorists.

On Friday, Qutaiba, who was one of the top ISIS leaders and a senior aide to al-Baghdadi, burst into tears when he mentioned the name of the ISIS ringleader during his Friday prayer sermon and implicitly confirmed his death.

He was arrested a few hours after his speech and executed today in the same city, an informed local source in the Iraqi province of Nineveh told Alsumaria News TV.

He said after mentioning al-Baghdadi’s name, Qutaiba had cried and recited a Muslim prayer for the deceased, adding the issue has caused considerable tumult and raised a large number of questions.

The local source noted that the ISIS has announced that Qutaiba’s crime was provocation.

Neither the sources close to the ISIS nor the terrorist group’s official news agency, Amaq, have confirmed the death.

Zarif

During the meeting on Sunday, the Iranian top diplomat said Iran was a victim of chemical weapons used by the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hossein during the eight-year Sacred Defence in the 1980s.

“Therefore, based on our main principles, we always reiterate our opposition to any use of chemical weapons and dismiss such a use as unacceptable,” he noted.

He went on saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always stressed that no side is allowed to use chemical weapons in any armed conflict across the world.

“It is regrettable that the terrorist group of ISIS has used chemical weapons in its war against the Syrian government,” he added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Zarif referred to the reports on the use of chemical weapons in Syria’s Khan Shaykhun region back in April and said Iran has emphasized the necessity of an international probe into the alleged attack to verify the use of chemical weapons in the region.

Iranian Foreign Minister also expressed the Islamic Republic’s readiness to cooperate with the OPCW in Syria.

For his part, OPCW Director-General Ahmet Üzümcü praised the Islamic Republic for its long-time cooperation with his organization.

He also referred to the fact that his visit to Iran has coincided with the 30th anniversary of Saddam regime’s chemical attack on the Iranian northwestern city of Sardasht and added as the head of the OPCW, he has annually issued a statement on the incident.

Üzümcü expressed his thanks to Iran for its readiness to offer cooperation with his organization in a probe into the alleged chemical attack in Syria and said the OPCW is now conducting investigations on the use of Sarin nerve gas in the April attack.

The attack on Khan Shaykhun in Syria’s Idlib province left more than 90 people dead, including women and children.

The Syrian government has strongly denied having any role in the alleged gas attack which sparked outrage around the world as photos and video of the aftermath, including quivering children dying on camera, were widely broadcast.

The US used the attack as a pretext to fire 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea at al-Shayrat airbase in the region on April 7.

ISIS Drone-Making Factory Discovered in Mosul

The Iraqi army forces, who have liberated most of the neighbourhoods in Mosul from the ISIS terrorists, have discovered one of the terrorist group’s factories in the northern Iraqi city, in which they used to make drones.

They found the factory in the al-Shifa neighbourhood on the outskirts of the Old City while advancing on Mosul.

The ISIS terrorists widely used unmanned aerial vehicles to target and shoot Iraqi and Syrian forces.

Some of the drones are used for reconnaissance purposes, but most of them are retrofitted with explosives to be used for carrying out attacks.

Photos of the workshop shows that the terrorists used whatever they could salvage, from metal and plastic pipes to repurposed small engines – including those of motorbikes – to make their drones. The ISIS elements have also used the debris of the Iraqi forces’ crashed drones to make theirs.

A four-wheeled robotic machine was also found in the factory. The device had been built to carry explosives and be used for carrying out suicide attacks.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIS Leader

The ISIS terrorist group has declared in a statement that those who make any remarks about the death of the terrorist group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, or confirm the news regarding the issue will be receive 50 lashes.

According to a local source in the northern Iraqi province of Nineveh, the ISIS released its brief statement in Tal Afar near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The statement is the ISIS’ first reaction to recent reports on the death of al-Baghdadi, who has been most probably killed in the Russian airstrikes on the Syrian city of Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de-facto capital.

Iranian Speaker Congratulates Iraq on Mosul Liberation

In a message to President of Iraq Fuad Masum on Sunday, the Iranian parliament speaker hailed the liberation of the Iraqi city from the occupation of the Daesh terrorist group after three years and underscored the importance of establishing sustained peace and security in the Arab country and the region.

He added that the “decisive” victory was achieved thanks to God’s blessings, the guidance of the country’s Marja’s (religious leadership), sacrifices made by the Iraqi people and military forces, and the government’s constant efforts.

The Iranian official further described the recapture of the city as a major step toward the complete defeat of terrorists in the region.

Daesh militants made swift advances in northern and western Iraq over the summer of 2014, after capturing swaths of northern Syria.

The Iranian official further described the recapture of the city as a major step toward the complete defeat of terrorists in the region.

Daesh militants made swift advances in northern and western Iraq over the summer of 2014, after capturing swaths of northern Syria.

However, a combination of concentrated attacks by the Iraqi military and the volunteer forces, who rushed to take arms after Ayatollah Sistani issued the fatwa calling for the fight against the militants, blunted the edge of Daesh offensive and forced the terrorist group to withdraw from much of the areas it had occupied.

Iraqi military forces on Thursday captured the Mosul mosque at the heart of the northern city, which Daesh had declared its de facto capital.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of the site of the symbolic al-Nuri Mosque in Old Mosul as “the declaration of the end of the statelet of Daesh.”

Iraqi authorities expect the long battle for Mosul to end in coming days as remaining Daesh militants are bottled up in just a handful of neighborhoods of the Old City.

Daesh stronghold in Syria’s Raqqa is also close to falling.
