Ghoochannejhad

Voetbal Inside has selected Ghoochannejhad as the best player of the Dutch league’s 19th week.

The Iranian international scored a hat-trick in Heerenveen’s match against PSV Eindhoven last Sunday (January 22) to become the Eredivisie’s top scorer with 12 goals at the end of the 19th week, according to a report by Voetbal Inside.

His award was presented to him by Voetbal Inside’s Simon Zijlemans.

In a Twitter post, Ghoochannejhad expressed his appreciation for receiving the prize and thanked his teammates and Voetbal Inside.

“Very grateful for winning this Award! Thanks to my teammates for all the effort and Voetbal Inside.”

By the end of Eredivisie’s 19th week, Ghoochannejhad has played a total of 1,651 minutes (more than 18 matches) for Heerenveen and has scored one goal every 138 minutes.

The Iranian forward shares the top spot in the table with Feyenoord’s Danish striker Nicolai Jørgensen who has had 18 appearances (1,626 minutes) for his team, scoring a goal every 136 minutes.

With only two assists to his name, Ghoochannejhad lags considerably behind his Danish rival having eight.

In the most thrilling match of the 19th week at the Philips Stadion, PSV scored two late goals to steal a thoroughly entertaining 4-3 win over Heerenveen, despite Ghoochannejhad’s hat-trick.

At the end of the Eredivisie’s 19th week, Heerenveen stands fourth in the table with 32 points.

Academy Raps Trump’s “Troubling” Ban that May Bar Iranian Filmmaker from Attending Oscars

‘The Salesman’ Deserves Academy Award

“The Academy celebrates achievement in the art of filmmaking, which seeks to transcend borders and speak to audiences around the world, regardless of national, ethnic, or religious differences,” an Academy spokesperson said in a statement.

“As supporters of filmmakers — and the human rights of all people — around the globe, we find it extremely troubling that Asghar Farhadi, the director of the Oscar-winning film from Iran, ‘A Separation,’ along with the cast and crew of this year’s Oscar-nominated film ‘The Salesman,’ could be barred from entering the country because of their religion or country of origin.”

Meanwhile, the Public Relations office of Farhadi’s latest film announced that the acclaimed director has no “legal barrier” for travelling to the US, but he will officially declare in the coming days whether he will attend the Oscars.

 

Earlier, Taraneh Alidousti, the star of “The Salesman,” announced this week that she would be boycotting the Oscars in protest of what she called a “racist” immigration ban.

 

Her reaction was warmly received by Iranian people and officials.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani described Alidousti’s move as a symbol of Iranian people’s national pride.

 

fajrAlso at the opening ceremony of Fajr International Film Festival held on Saturday evening in Tehran, the head of Iran’s Cinema Organization Hojjatollah Ayoubi and veteran cinema professional Gholam-Reza Mousavi, among others, praised her move. Mousavi even raised his hat to show his respect for Alidousti’s reaction.

Many people across the US have held protest rallies inside or in front of airports to condemn US President Donald Trump’s visa restrictions for Syrian refugees and nationals of 7 countries, including Iran.

Farhadi’s picture is also seen in placards held by these protesters as a symbol of those who might be barred from entering the United States.

Texas Mosque

Fire Department was called after smoke and flames billowing from the Islamic Centre of Victoria were spotted at around 2 a.m. It took about four hours to extinguish the blaze.

There is no lead or information as to what started the fire and what happened, according to media reports.

No injuries were reported in the 17-year-old structure that caught fire.

Firefighters Contain Blaze at Tehran’s Oil Refinery

Oil Refinery

Firefighters managed to extinguish a massive fire after four hours. The operation ended early this morning.

A lightning strike set fire to an oil tank and the fuel leaking out made the fire spread through the surrounding area.

This was the second major fire in Tehran in the past two weeks.

On January 19, top stories of the Plasco building in downtown Tehran caught fire in the morning, and the whole building crumpled to the ground four hours later.

More than 20 people, including 16 firefighters, died in the incident.

Another Airbus Plane Painted in Iran Air’s Livery

Iran Air-Airbus a321

“Iran Air’s new A330 has been spotted … Awaits delivery!” reads a late-Friday tweet from Iran Air’s official handle.

Iran Air received an Airbus A321 on January 12, which marked the first delivery from western plane-makers after the nuclear deal.

A background check of the A330 shows the plane was initially built for the Sao Paulo-based Avianca airline, which cancelled its order before delivery.

The delivered A321 was also sold to Iran after it was cancelled by another buyer.

Iran Air says it hopes to receive at least two aircraft in addition to the one it received earlier from Airbus by the end of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2017).

After the nuclear deal was signed, Iran Air ordered 100 airliners from Airbus and 80 from Boeing and is close to a deal to buy 20 turboprop aircraft from Toulouse-based ATR.

Iran’s Tejarat Bank Files Lawsuit against EU for Losses Incurred during Sanctions

tejarat

“Tejarat and many other Iranian banks suffered a great deal of direct and indirect losses followed by the unjust sanctions imposed on Dec. 2011,” Mohammad Ebrahim Moqaddam was also quoted as saying by Banker.ir.

“After Tejarat Bank was vindicated by the European Union’s judicial bodies and the embargo was lifted, the bank sought the help of professional accounting firms in estimating the damage inflicted by EU sanctions within the framework of international standards.”

According to Moqaddam, restrictions on his bank led to its accounts being frozen by EU authorities, resulting in a considerable reduction in the private bank’s foreign exchange revenues.

European Union’s second highest court annulled EU sanctions on Tejarat in January 2015 before the historic nuclear deal was reached between Iran and world powers after it was proved that the bank had no role in financing the Iranian nuclear program.

The court ruling ordered the release of the Tehran-based lender’s assets frozen in the EU and the resumption of its activities there.

The General Court struck down the sanctions, saying the Council of EU governments had failed to prove that the bank had provided support for the nuclear program or had helped others to circumvent sanctions.

It also said the bank was partially privatized in 2009 and the Iranian state was no longer its majority shareholder.

The bank’s CEO said pursuing the action at ECJ required hundreds of hours of meetings with legal advisers and both local and international lawyers, and the translation of thousands of pages of the bank’s papers.

Moqaddam assured shareholders and customers that Tejarat Bank will continue to use its full professional and legal force to protect their interests and pursue the lawsuit for claiming the damages inflicted by the EU sanctions.

Bank Mellat, another major private bank, revealed last March that the UK High Court ruled in favor of his bank and it will receive $4 billion in compensation by late spring.

The bank had made a case against the UK Treasury for being sanctioned without sufficient evidence over claims of its involvement in the country’s nuclear program.

Speaking to Tasnim in the provincial capital of Zahedan, Head of the IRCS in Sistan and Balouchestan Province Rasoul Rashki said a total of 1,126 rescue workers have participated in the relief operations in the province’s flood-hit areas.

He said that during the operations, 10,641 flood victims have received relief aid and 1676 families, including 7,957 people, have been moved to makeshift shelters.

The governor of Sistan and Balouchestan said on Friday that one person has been killed and about 1700 houses have been damaged after floods hit the province.

“Our first measure after the rain was to make efforts to save people from drowning in the floods and prevent closure of roads,” Ali Osat Hashemi told Tasnim.

However, he added, 1675 houses have been damaged by the flashfloods in the province mostly because the houses were made of mud-bricks.

The provincial governor further said an old woman lost her life in the floods after her 50-year-old mud-brick house collapsed.

Hashemi said that the downpour was otherwise important in the province, which has been facing severe drought, noting that before the rain, palm trees in the province were dying because of lack of water.

Iran Says It Has Injected UF6 into Its IR8 Centrifuges

nuclear

In a statement on Saturday, the AEOI said the injection of UF6 gas into IR8 machines, which are the most advanced and modern centrifuges, has been made in compliance with the terms laid down in the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France, and Germany) reached the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015 and implemented it in January last year.

With the injection of UF6, which is a gaseous uranium compound, into the machines, a major breakthrough in the country’s peaceful nuclear program on development of IR8 centrifuges has been achieved, the statement added.

The important stage comes in line with the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei as well as Tehran’s commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), it further said.

Iran has in recent months stepped up its efforts to continue its research and development (R&D) activities in the field of nuclear energy.

Back in December 2016, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the country’s program to develop nuclear propulsion systems will begin in the near future.

Rouhani said as he had promised, the IR1 centrifuges, which were the first generation of the kind, have been replaced by IR8 centrifuges, which are the most advanced and modern centrifuges.

He said that the time has come to begin the program on nuclear propulsion system, noting that a directive has already been issued in this regard and that nuclear propulsion devices will soon come into operation.

Trump’s Visa Ban Is a Gift to Extremists: Iranian FM

“Muslim Ban shows baselessness of US claims of friendship with the Iranian people while only having issues with the government,” Zarif said in a series of posts in his Twitter account in reaction to the visa ban introduced by Trump.

“Collective discrimination aids terrorist recruitment by deepening fault-lines exploited by extremist demagogues to swell their ranks,” he added.

He noted that Iran will be taking suitable reciprocal actions to protect its citizens, while respecting US citizens and differentiating between them and Washington’s hostile policies.

Zarif-Twitter

“Unlike the US, our decision is not retroactive. All with valid Iranian visa will be gladly welcomed,” he added.

He also stressed that the international community requires more dialogue and cooperation in order to cut the roots of violence and extremism in a comprehensive manner.

In a move which sparked widespread censure, US President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order on Friday to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
