The managing director of the Tehran Municipality Cultural Spaces Development Company, Alireza Jafari, has said a 10,000-square-metre green roof has been built in the Tehran Book Garden.

He added the roof provides citizens with a very pleasant place to spend their spare time and read books.

Jafari said one of the remarkable features of the garden is its vast green space.

He noted that 10 movie theatres and amphitheatres have been constructed in the book garden, of which four have been completed and the rest are being equipped.

According to Jafari, The Tehran Book Garden also has six movie theatres of which three are 708-seater halls and the rest are VIP halls with a capacity of 84 people.

He said the garden will help improve the standards of book production and publication in Iran, encourage innovations, promote the use of modern technologies in the field of publication and provide international audience with easy access to Islamic, Iranian and foreign sources and those about Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The Tehran Book Garden is an option to permanently host the Tehran International Book Fair.

Covering a total area of 65,000-square-meter indoor exhibition space, the book garden is one of the largest of its kind which is scheduled to providee sufficient space and facilities to help promote book reading.

Israel Dividing Muslims to Achieve Its Goals: Iran

Iran Appoints Female Ambassador to Denmark

In a statement ahead of the International Quds Day, the Iranian foreign ministry called on the Muslims across the world to show their unity by taking part in Friday Quds rallies across the world.

The full text of Foreign Ministry’s statement follows:

The International Quds Day is the manifestation of Palestinian refugees and prisoners’ cries of innocence and call for justice over the tyranny, oppression and persecution of the anti-human, child-killing and criminal Zionist regime, which, during the nearly 70 years of its disgraceful life has committed a large number of crimes against humanity. So far, a large number of Palestinians have been massacred [by Tel Aviv], millions of families displaced, and thousands of others tortured in Israeli jails.

The International Quds Day reminds us of this undeniable historical fact that the occupying regime of Israel is the main cause behind the current crises and tensions in the West Asian region. Israel was the initiator of some destructive wars in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1974 and 1982 against the Muslim and Arab nations of the region like Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. The regime has also committed heinous massacres against the Palestinians in Kafr Qasim, Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Add to the list the brutal onslaughts on the Lebanese and Palestinian women and children during the 33-day war on southern Lebanon and the 22-day war on Gaza.

Today, the Muslim and Arab nations of the west Asia need to preserve their unity against the anti-human regime of Israel and discern their common enemy with profound insight. On the other hand, they have to stay extremely vigilant against any plots hatched by the Zionists and their international sponsors to deviate them from the path of resistance and restoration of the rights of the oppressed Palestinians. The Zionists make divisions in the Muslim world to achieve their goals.

Unfortunately, the policies and measures by some so-called Muslim nations in the region serve the interest of terrorist-Takfiri groups leading to the deterioration of crises in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Bahrain. Such policies not only shatter the Muslim world unity, but also pave the way for Israel’s further aggression.

With their non-stop attempts to take the issue of Palestine off the agenda of the Muslim World, the Zionist regime is now drawing on the divisions within the Muslim states in fight against Takfiri terrorists to press ahead with its projects in the occupied Palestinian territories and beyond.

Inflicting a blow on the resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon by calling them terrorist provides Israel with a pretext to put more pressure on the Palestinian civilians and fighters in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. It will also pave the way for Israel to torture the Palestinian inmates in the Israeli jails, accomplish its settlement projects, transform the historical and cultural identity of Quds, destroy the al-Aqsa Mosque and displace the non-Jewish residents of al-Quds. These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Israel’s goals in the region. The Israeli regime is trying to deceive the world’s public opinion by pretending to be an advocate of peace and fight against terrorism and even improving ties with some Muslim countries.

The last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan is a reminder of one of the most important and impressive legacies of the late Imam Khomeini: International Quds Day. He turned the day into a symbolic day of unity of Muslims against Israel as well as the uprising of the innocent nation of Palestine against the occupation.

So, reaffirming its allegiance to the late founder of the Islamic Republic, the foreign ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on all Muslim and freedom-seeker nations of the world to show their unity by taking part in Quds rallies which is remembered in history as the day of fighting against the arrogant powers and supporting the oppressed people of Palestine.

Iran Sends Three Messages by Firing Six Missiles: Analyst

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Iran has no hesitation in giving a strong response to any terror attack, says an Iranian analyst on the latest missile attacks by Iran on ISIS positions in Syria.

In a Farsi piece published by the Iranian news website Tabnak, Mostafa Najafi said that Iran has shown that it is different from many other states that have remained silent towards ISIS attacks on their capitals.

“With the strikes, Iran didn’t intend to create tensions but to remind ISIS militants of the fact that targeting Iran will not remain unpunished. To put it differently, the strikes were totally defensive,” he noted.

The analyst added, “I wrote a piece immediately after Tehran terror attacks arguing that Iran would give a retaliatory response to ISIS terror attacks. Now with Iran’s missile strikes on ISIS positions which have grabbed the headlines across the world, we can make different analyses on the attacks.”

Najafi said as things stand, the attacks carried out by launching six missiles had three main messages:

“The first message was directed at the terrorists (not only ISIS). With these strikes, Iran frankly told them that if London, Paris, Ankara and other major capitals of the world come under attacks and there is no retaliatory response to them, the story is different with the Iranian capital Tehran. Iran showed that it gives a crushing response to any terror attack. So, with these strikes, the terrorists would think twice before launching any attack on Iran. In fact, the missile strikes acted as a powerful deterrent against new terrorist attacks,” he said.

According to Najafi, the second message was for the US.

“As we know, the US-led coalition in Syria has been repeatedly targeting the positions of Syrian army as well as Iran-backed forces in southern Syria over the past weeks. The attacks, if continued, can lead to serious tensions between Iran and the US in Syria. Now with the missile strikes, Iran has showed the US its capabilities to target US-led forces in any region. So, we need to wait for the US’ reaction. It goes without saying that, the US has already received Iran’s message,” he wrote.

Najafi also pointed to the fact that the missiles used by Iran against ISIS’ positions in Syria were of the same models which were sanctioned by the US Senate some days ago.

“By using certain missiles, Iran has also reminded the US of the fact that it would not sit back from its missile programs under any pressure,” he added.

Najafi went on saying that the US deployed a missile system in Syria a couple of days ago with the alleged aim of coping with the potential missile attacks against its forces in southern Syria. He added Iran’s missile strikes could also be viewed as Iran’s response to the US missile system deployment in Syria.

And the third message of Iran’s missile attacks, according to Najafi, is directed at Israel, Saudi Arabia and their allies in the region which have been launching new regional campaigns to establish an anti-Iran coalition. The main aim of the coalition is to undermine Iran and change the regional power balance against Iran.

“It seems this message has already been taken by Israel and Saudi Arabia. A report by Israel’s Channel 7 said Iran’s missile strikes indirectly threatened Saudi Arabia, Israel and the US,” he wrote.

On the other hand, Iran’s missile strikes had some operational objectives as well, Najafi added.

“ISIS has been changing its self-proclaimed capital from Raqqa to Deir ez-Zor. At the same time, the Syrian army is advancing towards Deir ez-Zor. So, Iran’s missile strikes have paved the way for Syrian army in its operations against ISIS militants in the city.”

He also noted that no regional development including diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Tehran terror attacks, Iran’s missile attacks on ISIS and targeting of Iran-backed forces in Syria should be analyzed separately because they are all closely interconnected.

Nazkhatoon is an Iranian food popular with folks in the north of the country. It is cooked a little differently in different towns and cities. In Guilan province, no meat is used in cooking Nazkhatoon, and it is mostly made with aubergine and tomatoes, and can be an ideal meal for vegetarians.

Aubergine does not have much calories because water makes up most of it. Ninety-two percent of uncooked aubergine’s weight is water. Half a glass of cooked aubergine only has 14 calories of energy, less than half a gramme of protein and around 3 grammes of carbohydrates.

Due to its low calorie, aubergine is suitable for those who want to lose weight.

 

Ingredients:

Aubergine:  8

Tomato:  5

Verjuice: half a glass

Pomegranate juice: 2 glasses

Grated onion: 4 spoonfuls

Dried mint: 1 spoonful

Persian hogweed (golpar): 1 spoonful

Salt: a little

 

Recipe:

Wash the aubergines well and put them in the oven for half an hour to be baked. Then peel and chop them to very small pieces.

When the aubergines are in the oven, put the tomatoes in a bowl and pour some hot water on them to help peel them easily. Then chop them and put them aside.

Put the chopped aubergines in a casserole. Then add verjuice and pomegranate juice, and leave the mix to boil well and become thick. Then add Persian hogweed, mint and onions and mix them. Remove the dish from the oven before adding tomatoes. Now remove the prepared food from the casserole and put it in a dish. Garnish with small pieces of walnut.

Iran’s Missile Strikes on ISIS, Strong Warning to US: Syrian Minister

Iran’s Missile Strikes on ISIS, Strong Warning to US-Syrian Minister

Syrian Information Minister Mohammad Ramez Tourjman said Iran’s missile strikes against ISIS positions in the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor have sent a strong message to the government of Donald Trump to drop any potential plan for launching an attack on Iran or mounting a campaign to isolate the Islamic Republic on the international arena.

“Iran’s move to use home-made missiles against ISIS hideouts in Deir ez-Zor was a milestone in fight against terrorism in the region,” he said in an interview with the Tasnim News Agency on Sunday.

Tourjman went on to say that the strikes also carried a message to the sponsors of terrorism, particularly the US government which, on the one hand, claims it is fighting terrorism, and on the other hand sponsors ISIS militants.

The Syrian information minister also added that Iran has no hesitation in targeting any group or state   which threatens its security.

“The missile strikes of the Islamic Republic amounted to a direct response to US President Trump who had threatened Iran with war and isolation just recently,” he said.

The minister also said Syrian government relies on the support of its brother states in the region in fight against terrorism and added the terrorists are seeking to change the region through contributing to ethnic divisions but their efforts are doomed to failure.

The era of exploiting other states through terrorism has come to an end, he said, adding any investment in terrorism would backfire.

“The final victory is with us and the flag of Syria would be hoisted over all of our territories once again,” he concluded.

Back on Sunday night, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) fired six mid-range missiles from its bases in western Iran to target ISIS positions in eastern Syria. As a result of the operation, at least 65 ISIS terrorists were killed and many others were wounded, according to the IRGC Quds Force.

Iran’s “Versailles Palace” Eventually Registered as National Heritage Site

Eventually on Wednesday (June 21), the head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO), Zahra Ahmadipour, ordered Tehran’s governor general to inscribe the Sabet Pasal Mansion in the Iranian capital on the list of National Heritage Sites.

The order was issued following many ups and downs and considerable controversy.

The registration of the mansion, located in the Iranian capital of Tehran, is aimed at preventing the demolition of the mansion by its private owner, who wants to build a high-rise building instead of the architectural masterpiece.

Following the registration of the mansion as a national heritage site, no development will be allowed in the building’s nearby area.

Earlier, Mehdi Chamran, the outgoing chairman of Tehran City Council, had said the building “is of no cultural value” and supported a proposal to construct a mosque in its place as well as a commercial centre “to cover the expenses of the mosque”.

Sabet Pasal Mansion, also known as the “Stone Palace” or “Iran’s Versailles Palace”, is Tehran’s largest historical house located to the north of Africa Boulevard in Elahiyeh neighbourhood. It was built in the second Pahlavi period across an area of over 11,500 square metres, modelled after Petit Trianon Chateau on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles.

It belonged to wealthy Iranian businessman Habibollah Sabet, known as Sabet Pasal, but was seized by Mostazafan Foundation after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It is now owned by Ali Ansari, the managing director of Ayandeh Bank.

IRGC May Repeat Missile Attacks on ISIS Positions Spokesman

In comments on Wednesday, IRGC Spokesman Ramezan Sharif said whether or not new missile strikes will be launched depends on how the enemies behave in various arenas.

“Crushing responses would be formulated and given, proportional to their (enemies’) behavior,” he added.

The general also noted that Sunday’s missile raid sent out a clear signal to “terrorists, their regional and international sponsors, and to everyone who would even think of threatening Iran’s national security.”

On June 18, the IRGC fired six mid-range missile from its bases in Iran’s western provinces of Kermanshah and Kurdistan at the positions of terrorists in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor.

IRGC May Repeat Missile Attacks on ISIS Positions: Spokesman

The missile raid was made in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack in Tehran claimed by the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group.

According to reports, all of the missiles hit their target, wreaking destruction on Daesh sites and killing dozens of the terrorists.

Internal Struggle Imminent in Saudi Royal Family: Analyst

bensalman-Internal Struggle Imminent in Saudi Royal Family: Analyst

Internal Struggle Imminent in Saudi Royal Family: AnalystSabah Zanganeh, a senior political analyst and Iran’s former envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said the decision of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman to relieve Muhammad Bin Nayef of his post as crown prince and replace him with Mohammad bin Salman would involve the Saudi family in bitter struggle among the princes.

“The decision to sack bin Nayef was in the making for a year,” he said, adding that Mohammad bin Salman is a power-hungry politician who has been seeking to replace bin Nayef for many years.

In a Farsi interview with the Mehr New Agency, Zanganeh referred to bin Salman’s thirst for interfering in all military, political and economic affairs of Saudi Arabia and said with the recent developments, it was expected that the Saudi King Salman would elevate Mohammad bin Salman to the crown prince of the country.

He went on saying that the recent decision by Salman is not unprecedented during his tenure as king and added he once relieved one of his own brothers from the post of crown prince and replaced him with Muqrin bin Abdulaziz.

“But as experience shows, bin Salman would suffer the same fate in future,” he noted.

Zanganeh then referred to the “Allegiance Council” in Saudi Arabia and said the council consists of 15 high-ranking princes (The sons of Abdulaziz) and middle-ranking princes (The grandsons of Abdulaziz), and now with the appointment of bin Salman as the country’s crown prince, the council’s credibility has been questioned and this will lead to internal struggle in the Al Saud family.

Zanganeh stressed that since his elevation to the deputy crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman has done nothing but waging war on Yemen and creating tensions with neighbouring states.

The expert also referred to the outrage of other Saudi princes with the elevation of bin Salman, adding, ”From now on we would witness protests by Saudi Arabia’s civil society, cultural classes and traditional religious sections.”

He also noted that the provocative decision of King Salman would put the country’s government into serious problems.

In response to a question on whether or not the decision was made after consultation with US President Donald Trump, he said the consultation is not a matter of significant importance because Trump himself has his own problems at home and even may be impeached in the near future.

“The US is not worried about the replacement because it can work with the crown prince in Saudi Arabia,” he said.

He stressed that Washington does not care much about who is ruling in Saudi Arabia, adding the US is only concerned with its own political and economic interest in the region.

The US attaches importance to Saudi Arabia as far as it safeguards Washington’s regional interests, he said, adding, the US wants to see a ruler in Saudi Arabia who is more concerned with Washington’s interest rather than Saudi Arabia’s.

Touching on the latest diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the subsequent political and economic blockade on Doha by Riyadh and a number of its regional allies, he said Saudi Arabia made a grave strategic mistake by signing a multi-billion-dollar arms deal with the Trump administration because Riyadh’s economy is entirely dependent on oil and foreign exchange reserves.

“Half of the reserves were paid to the US and as a result, Saudi Arabia’s economy is set to experience a free fall,” he noted.

40,000 Inmates in Iran Granted Amnesty in One Year

Ejei

“Last year, 39,791 inmates were granted amnesty. The number was not limited to those who were serving their jail sentence. It also included some inmates whose jail sentence were halved as well as those whose lash sentences were pardoned,” he noted.

Speaking in a press conference on Tuesday, Iran’s judiciary spokesperson also noted that the number of prison furlough grew by 24.5 percent during the last year.

“Meanwhile, 15,757 inmates left the jails on conditional release. We also had a significant growth in our training courses,” he said.

Mohseni-Eje’i said about 290 Quran classes have been established in jails across Iran and added the prisons’ officials held 829 competitions on Quran’s teachings throughout last year.

“383 large and small libraries have already been established in our jails,” he concluded.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the introduction of recent amendments to Iran’s court proceedings, and said the country is now witnessing some positive changes in the judicial system thanks to the changes.

The spokesperson also said the amendments have provided the judiciary with a legal right to pronounce alternative sentences for some crimes.

He went on saying that late last year the judiciary began to test the electronic handcuffs and shackles. Mohseni-Eje’i expressed hope the electronic tools could be used for inmates in future.
