shamlou

Maryam Heydari translated a selection of poems by Ahmad Shamlou, modern Iranian poet, to Arabic. The Egyptian Public Authority for Culture Houses edited the book before publishing it in the North African country.

According to a report by IRNA, Egypt’s Al-Rai wrote this collection of poems, called “Hadiqat al-Maraya” [The Garden of Mirrors], acquaints the reader with a modern, human poetic style, devoid of red lines and barbed wires.

This was the first time that Shamlou’s poems were translated to Arabic. However, there had already been translations of his works into several other languages; to name Swedish, English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Armenian, Dutch, Romanian, Finnish, Kurdish and Turkish.

Shamlou was arguably the most influential modern Iranian poet. His poetry is complex; yet his imagery, which contributes significantly to the intensity of his poems, is simple.

He basically uses the traditional imagery familiar to his Iranian audience through the works of Persian masters like Hafez and Omar Khayyam.

Iran Reserves Right to Respond to US Extension of Bans Law: Nuclear Chief

Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), made the remarks in a meeting with US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz in Vienna on Sunday.

The two officials are in the Austrian capital to attend the “International Conference on Nuclear Security: Commitments and Actions,” which is to be held there under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from December 5 to 9.

Salehi further communicated Iran’s strong protest and serious concern over the congressional move, emphasizing that Tehran has the right to deliver a proportionate response.

Following in the footsteps of the House of Representatives, the US Senate recently voted to extend the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another 10 years.

The law, which would authorize the US president to re-impose sanctions on Iran, was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program and support for anti-Israeli resistance groups. The ISA now needs President Barack Obama’s signature to turn into law.

This is while Iran had all nuclear-related sanctions lifted on the back of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear accord it signed with the P5+1 group of countries — the US, Britain, Russia, France and China plus Germany — last year in Vienna.

Salehi further noted that Iran has been committed to the JCPOA — which obliged it to introduce limits to its nuclear activities in exchange for the sanctions relief.

The commitment, he added, has been verified by the IAEA, which monitors the JCPOA’s implementation process, urging the US to likewise honor its contractual obligations, especially by preventing the potential implementation of the ISA.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said in April that Iran had even gone beyond its obligations under the JCPOA.

For his part, Moniz said he would relay Iran’s concerns to the US commander-in-chief, saying the US government is committed to the JCPOA.

Iranian authorities have slammed the ISA’s extension as a blatant violation of the nuclear agreement, vowing proper counter-measures.

On Sunday, Iranian lawmakers urged the administration of President Hassan Rouhani to take “due retaliatory measures” against the ISA extension.

Train Crash in Iran

“The motion to impeach Transport Minister Mahmoud Akhoundi has been signed by 70 ministers and presented to the Parliament’s presiding board,” Nader Qazipour, an Iranian lawmaker, noted on Sunday.

According to a report by the Parliament’s Persian news website ICANA, Qazizadeh went on to say that people expect lawmakers to pursue the deaths of their beloved ones.

Meanwhile, Press TV quoted an Iranian official as saying that an operator in charge of the Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) of Shahroud railway station was responsible for the fatal collision between two passenger trains in Iran’s north-central province of Semnan.

The head of a committee investigating the train crash, Akbar Torkan, told reporters on Saturday that a train moving from the northwestern city of Tabriz to the northeastern city of Mashhad had already stopped over its brakes failure.

The deadly incident occurred when the CTC operator allowed a second train, also en route to Mashhad, to depart in the same direction, he added.

Torkan, who was assigned by Iran’s First Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri to investigate the deadly train collision, emphasized that it was not an intentional fault but that a human error in practice of profession led to the disaster.

On November 25, at least 45 people lost their lives and 103 others were injured in the deadly collision of two passenger trains in Semnan.

Syria's Aleppo

According to a report covered by Al-Alam, a statement by the Syrian army says state institutions have already begun rehabilitation programs in the north eastern parts of the city.

Hundreds of Syrian families have returned to the strategic eastern Aleppo district of Masaken Hanano, which was retaken from terrorist groups last month.

The army has managed to restore security and stability to the area, while authorities are working to provide services and utilities to the locals.

Local media say tens of Syrian families have also travelled to the liberated parts of the city in at least 10 buses moving directly from the government-held regions of the city to the recently liberated parts for the first time after the terrorist grasp on the city.

The trip started at the Razi bus stop in central Jamiliyeh neighbourhood and ended after 30 minutes in Masaken Hanano, Al-Waght reported.

“I haven’t been to my house for almost six years,” said passenger Hala Hassan Fares, adding, “Our house is totally burned, but we’re going to see my father, who is 80 years old.”

Driver Abdullah al-Ali also expressed his joy over the situation, saying, “I’m so happy for these people going back to check on their homes.”

The Syrian government forces, who are in full control of western Aleppo, have been conducting operations to purge militants from the city’s east.

Backed by Russia’s air cover, the Syrian army forces and their allies have dealt heavy blows to the militants over the past few weeks.

Iran MPs Call for Counter-Measures Against US Senate Vote

Iran's Parliament

At the end of an open session on Sunday, 264 MPs in the 290-seat Iranian Parliament (Majlis) issued a statement, strongly demanding the executive branch to take “due retaliatory measures” against the US senators’ decision to extend the ISA “at the soonest possible time.”

The statement came three days after the US Senate voted to extend the ISA for another 10 years, in a move regarded as a blatant violation of last year’s nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“In a theatrical move, US senators extended the unjust ISA law and the sanctions against the great Iranian nation,” the statement read, adding that such an act “is against the spirit of the JCPOA, while international officials and US authorities have repeatedly confirmed Iran’s compliance.”

The lawmakers further condemned the US Senate vote as a sign of Washington’s “irresponsibility in honoring its international obligations.”

On December 1, the US Senate passed the ISA renewal 99-0 after it cleared the House of Representatives 419-1 late November.

The sanctions law was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program.

US President Barack Obama is expected to sign the ISA into law.

In a speech at the parliament earlier in the day, Rouhani pledged a “decisive response” to the Senate vote, which he called a blatant violation of the nuclear deal.

The Iranian chief executive had said Saturday that no country is allowed to take measures undermining the JCPOA, which is the product of diplomatic efforts by seven countries.
