Swedish Ambassador to Tehran Helena Sångeland announced the upcoming visit of her country’s prime minister to Tehran in February.

“Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Löfven makes foreign trips only twice a year and one trip for 2017 will be devoted to Iran, indicating the importance of bilateral ties with Tehran,” she said in a recent meeting with the Head of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) Gholam-Hossein Shafei, as reported by Mehr.

The Swedish envoy further expressed happiness towards the emergence of new opportunities for the two countries following the nuclear deal, adding, “A number of delegations have been exchanged between the two sides over the past year, the most significant of which was the visit of Iranian FM Mohammad Javad Zarif to Stockholm.”

Hemmat Online Charity have not forgotten Armenian Christians of Iran during their feast: it has plans to provide 40 poor Armenian families with aid packages of $46 on the occasion of Christmas.

“Although Armenians have always been well-liked by Iranians, charities often focus on patients, child labour and such issues, and forget about the honourable but poor Armenian families in our society who don’t receive enough attention,” said Qamsariyan, the manager of Hemmat Charity, according to a Farsi report by Sobhe-no newspaper.

“Christmas is an important event for Armenians, as Nowruz is for Iranian people. So we decided to help some Armenians of Iran who can’t enjoy the event because of financial problems.”

“We designed a poster in order to ask for people’s help, and posted it on our website and Telegram channel,” he added.

“After the aid packages are ready, philanthropists will give them to Armenian families in person. It is a positive move that will reinforce the spirit of helping and communication among them.”

New Version of Medical Book by Rhazes Found in Austria

Zakariya al-Razi - Book

“There were always questions on what happened to Islamic libraries and oriental manuscripts after the fall of Muslims in Andalusia,” said Mohammadreza Vasfi, Iranian cultural attaché in Austria, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.
“Recently, during a private visit to National Library of Austria, a series of books was shown to me and Mohammad-Mahdi Taskhiri, the head of Centre for Interreligious Dialogue and Civilisation, which contained the Latin versions of a large number of oriental books. Some of them have been translated to Latin in old times and don’t exist anymore in prominent libraries of the world, or are quite rare.”
“Some versions date back to the era of Habsburg Monarchy of Austria, including voluminous series about ancient medicine,” he added.
“There was a detailed, accurate Latin translation of ‘Kitab Al-Mansouri’ by al-Razi, the great Iranian physician. Arabic versions of this book had been identified before, but there was no Latin translation.”
He stressed that the transfer of this book to another culture by translation illustrates its importance at that time.
“Middle Age researchers consider al-Razi as the greatest medieval physician of Iran and the Islamic world. Containing 10 articles, Kitab Al-Mansouri is the most important ancient book on medicine besides ‘Kitab al-Hawi’, also written by al-Razi. It is one of oldest books that revolutionized the science of anatomy.”
Vasfi went on to say that it isn’t clear how this book has arrived in Austria. “Some of those books were given to Austro-Hungarian Empire by the Netherlands Kingdom as gifts in old times. Others were bought from the Ottoman Empire or the merchants of Islamic/Ottoman manuscripts. In any case, Austrian experts believe that the library of Andalusia was the main source of books in ancient times.”
Referring to the dynamic quality of science in Islamic East, and the West’s need to translate such books, he said, “The great heritage of Islamic world shows how advanced it was in science, art, ideology and philosophy. If we could have protected it, today the Islamic world would suffer much less from misapprehensions.”

Iran and India May Construct Oil Refinery in Brazil

BRAZIL OIL

The state of Maranhao, on Brazil’s northern Atlantic coast, is offering a 5,000-acre site for the project, according to a senior official in the state’s government, who requested not to be named because he doesn’t want to jeopardize the talks. The area already has a deep water port for tankers and its location would provide relatively easy access to the Pacific and Asia via the Panama Canal.

Despite extensive oil reserves, Brazil lacks refining capacity. The project would help Brazil address its dependence on refined fuel imports and could provide a boost to the local economy, Jose Reinaldo Tavares, a federal lawmaker, said in an interview. The project would require investment of at least $2.5 billion, according to the legislator, who recently travelled to Tehran and New Delhi as part of an official delegation from Maranhão.

Iranian oil officials have visited the proposed site twice already, a local Maranhao official said. Mohammad Ali Ghanezadeh, Iran’s ambassador to Brazil, said in an interview that his government is “very much interested” and “ready to put money and energy” into the project. He added that the main obstacle to the deal are US banking sanctions.

Engineers India Ltd, a New Delhi-based design and engineering company, is participating in the discussions but its involvement will depend on financing conditions, according to people in India and Brazil familiar with the talks. EIL did not respond to calls and e-mails, Bloomberg reported.

Over the past three days, the Air Defence has given warnings to 12 aircraft of trans-regional countries to stay away from the country’s airspace, General Abbas Farajpour said on Wednesday.

He also noted that a number of fighter jets and drones belonging to the US Navy have been given warning.

Iran’s Air Defence began a large-scale military exercise in the country’s southern regions on Monday, codenamed Defenders of Velayat Skies 7.

Involving more than 17,000 military forces, the war game covers an area of 496,000 square kilometers in Iran’s southern areas, mainly the provinces of Hormozgan, Bushehr and Khuzestan.

The Air Defence has employed a broad range of equipment, including tactical radars, mobile watch posts, and ground-based and air-based eavesdropping systems.

According to officials, the exercise has set a record in the tactical mobility of armed forces, after the rapid deployment of radar and missile systems, artillery units, as well as communication and electronic warfare systems to the operation zone.
