Marriage

Beside many other plans and programs for the Week of Marriage, courts all over the country are required to call the week off for divorce decrees, Sobhi said, as reported by Mehr, and translated by IFP.

This week, which marks the anniversary of the marriage between Imam Ali [the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad] and Fatimah [the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad), 750 couples will receive premarital education as well.

“The training courses for premarital education are being held in some provinces,” Sobhi said, regretting that 16 provinces have been left deprived of this opportunity.

He further voiced the government’s preparedness for running 5 to 10 centres of premarital counselling for each province in Iran.

In an interview with ISNA, as translated by IFP, Dr. Najmollah Tayefeh said that Dr. Tahriri and his team managed to build a four-channelled device that opens up an opportunity for patients to receive injections remotely.

Tayefeh noted that the mechanism of the device is quite analogous to the one in mobile systems and added, “The physician simply types the required USSD code in the device from anywhere in the world and receive information about the patient’s condition.”

“After receiving the patient’s test results, the physician can even prescribe the required medicine and update the device on new injection orders,” he went on to say.

According to him, the device can automatically inject the patient with the prescribed medicine.

Tayefeh stressed that the device has a beneficial option that, at specific hours during the day, it receives information about the patient’s medication and do the injection automatically.

He further announced that the first sample of the device, which is solely for injection, has been already produced.

“There are four channels mounted on the device, each equipped with one reservoir,” Tayefeh said, adding that “after the injection is finished, the syringe is automatically returned to the reservoir for getting refilled.”

Giving lessons in a religious class in Tehran on Tuesday morning, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed regret about the unfamiliarity of some religious promoters with the new computer technologies and lack of awareness about the significance of the cyberspace.

“The virtual space has numerous advantages and disadvantages at the same time, while its opportunities should be used to promote the Islamic concepts on a broad scale,” the Leader underlined.

Imam Khamenei then pointed to the enemy’s huge investment and planning to undermine the Muslim people’s faith and beliefs, warning that the adversaries use the cyberspace to throw doubts in the society and produce contents against virtues and chastity to pervert the minds of pious youth and alienate them from religion.

The first and foremost responsibility of the clerics and religious scholars is developing the capability to counter the enemy’s plot for the elimination of religion and chastity, the Leader noted.

Ayatollah Khamenei has in many occasions warned of an extensive soft war the enemies have waged against Iran, saying one of the main objectives is to change the religious and political beliefs of people, particularly the youth.

Soft war is a term used by Iranian officials to refer to the cultural invasion and soft intelligence tactics used by foreign countries deemed hostile toward Iran.

A ceremony was held on Monday afternoon before the world premiere screening of his new film Monte, as reported by Xinhua.

Born in 1946 in the southern Iranian city of Abadan, Naderi made his directorial debut with Goodbye Friend in 1971, and soon became one of the best known figures in Iranian cinema.

“Naderi gave fundamental impetus to the birth of New Iranian Cinema during the 1970s and 80s, with a number of masterpieces destined to leave their mark on the history of cinema,” said Alberto Barbera, Director of the Venice Film Festival.

“Every film he has made clearly displays the nucleus of an identical obsession which transcends the principle of reality in order to force individuals beyond their own limits,” Barbera added.

Naderi’s new film Monte, screened out of competition at this year’s festival, is set in the year 1971, and tells the dramatic story of a man who makes every attempt to bring the sunlight into his village, where his family is barely able to survive because of the prevailing darkness.

In 2014, Monte was one of the projects selected for the Venice Gap-Financing Market, a side-line program of the festival that offers filmmakers funding opportunities for the final production stage of their projects.

The “Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker” award was established ten years ago to honour personalities who have made a significant contribution to contemporary cinema. Previous winners include Kitano Takeshi from Japan and Al Pacino from the United States.

Iran Blasts Saudi Airstrike on Civilians in Yemen

Bahram Qassemi on Monday expressed Iran’s sympathy with the Syrian government and nation for the death of tens of innocent civilians in a string of terrorist attacks in Tartus, Homs, al-Hasakah, and outskirts of Damascus.

He slammed the targeting of civilians as sign of the defeat of Takfiri terrorists and their Wahhabi supporters in military confrontation with the Syrian army, saying their failure to achieve their dreams in the region has made them keep committing heinous crimes and creating terrible and distressing scenes in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

Qassemi also called on the international community not to remain indifferent about the organizers, supporters and perpetrators of such abhorrent crimes and fulfill the duty to stem Takfiri terrorism with serious resolve.

The Death toll from the string of bomb attacks across mostly government-controlled areas of Syria rised to at least 48 people on Monday, with dozens also wounded in the double bombing outside of Tartus city.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the blasts, but the Daesh (ISIL) terror group has regularly targeted several of the areas hit on Monday.

According to the UN, over 400,000 people have been killed in Syria since its conflict erupted in March 2011, which has also displaced over half of the Arab country’s pre-war population of about 23 million.

The five-member delegation, headed by Rear-Admiral Roberto Chia Marcella, is in Iran on a five-day visit. On Monday, the delegates met with Iran’s Navy Commander Rear-Admiral Habibollah Sayyari to discuss the development of ties.

Extending the invitation to Iran, Chia Marcella said, “In the future, we will witness Italian vessels berthing at [Iran’s] southern harbours falling within the Iranian Navy’s sphere of operation.”

“It is certain that these talks and meetings will lead to the development of interaction and cooperation in different military areas between the two countries of Iran and Italy,” he added.

Sayyari also underlined the importance of Italy’s geopolitical position in the Mediterranean Sea and said, “Italy enjoys around 8,000km (4,970 miles) of maritime border and the Mediterranean is [also] strategically very significant given the fact that it connects the important Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar.”

In recent years, Iran’s Navy has increased its presence in international waters to protect naval routes and provide security for merchant vessels and tankers.

FATF Deal against Iran’s National Security: MP

Mohammad Javad Jamali

Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Mohammad Javad Jamali, a member of the presiding board of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, expressed concerns that the deal between Iran and the FATF could endanger the country’s national interests.

He said the Westerners are seeking to further interfere in the internal affairs of the Islamic Republic through the agreement.

They are trying to secretly monitor Iran’s banking system and financial exchanges with other countries, he added.

“… If the deal is implemented, the security of the Islamic establishment will be threatened,” the MP said.

He further made assurance that the parliament will not allow Iran’s national security to be undermined.

In late June, FATF hailed Iran’s adoption of an action plan to address shortcomings in its anti-money laundering policies and its decision to seek assistance with implementation.

In its plenary meeting in South Korea, the body took into account Iran’s implementation of an anti-money laundering law and its membership at the Eurasian Group, a FATF-style regional body.

Iran, however, will remain on the FATF blacklist until the full implementation is complete, the body said. Moreover, if it fails to demonstrate “sufficient progress” at the end of the yearlong suspension, the restrictions will be re-imposed.

The body is under the influence of the US, which is keeping pressure on Iran by maintaining sanctions despite coming into force of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a lasting nuclear deal between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

The Arab country’s Civil Affairs has referred to a lack of special offices for registration of women and giving ID cards to them as one of the main reasons for this problem, as reported by Fars and translated by IFP.

Many Saudi women are deprived of their basic rights. Until 2004, these women were banned from having ID cards, and their names used to be registered first in their fathers’ and then in their husbands’ ID cards.

However, the country’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah al-Sheikh says portraying the face is forbidden for women, and thus they cannot have ID cards with photos.

Therefore, the Saudi Interior Ministry has proposed a plan to fingerprint women instead of issuing ID cards with photos for them.

Iran, Britain Appoint New Envoys

Hamid Baeedinejad- Nicholas Hopton

Iran has appointed Hamid Baeedinejad, former director general for political and international affairs at Iran’s foreign ministry, as the new ambassador to London.

Mr. Baeedinejad was a member of the Iranian team of negotiators in around two years of nuclear talks with the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Britain has also named Nicholas Hopton as its new ambassador to Tehran. Mr. Hopton used to serve as Britain’s chargé d’affaires to the Islamic Republic of Iran. He was an ambassador to Qatar from 2013 to 2015.

Baeedinejad and Hopton met simultaneously with Foreign Minister Zarif on Monday.

An informed official at Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced that the two countries reopened their embassies more than a year ago, and that chargés d’affaires were handling the whole issues in the meantime.

With the conditions being ready for an upgrade in the diplomatic ties, Tehran and London decided to appoint ambassadors, the official added, but emphasized that such an upgrade would not translate into settlement of the whole problems.

“The Islamic Republic will continue to explicitly express its views in a bilateral manner, and so on,” the official added.

Iran-Britain ties soured in 2011. On November 27, 2011, a large majority of Iranian lawmakers voted to downgrade diplomatic ties with Britain, following Britain’s decision to impose sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran.

Later, angry Iranian students stormed the British embassy in Tehran and pulled down the European country’s flag.

Following the incident, Britain withdrew its diplomatic staff from Tehran on November 30 and asked Iran’s diplomatic delegation in London to leave within 48 hours.

The two countries made diplomatic efforts afterwards to amend ties.

In August 2015, the British embassy in Iran reopened after a 4-year closure. Britain’s Foreign Secretary Hammond attended a ceremony in Tehran to mark the reopening on August 23. It was the first visit by a British foreign secretary to Iran since 2003.

Simultaneously, Iran’s embassy in London also reopened.

FATF

“FATF has nothing to do with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and we do not have any problem or concern about it. It has existed since years ago,” Qassemi said, as reported by ISNA.

“Some excuses and concerns are nonsense and we reject them. There are some false information and understanding. Of course, some concerns are because of good will and we understand them.”

Bahram Ghasemi- FM Spoksman“The regulations are against categorized child-killing terrorist groups such as the ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Nusra. We believe that Hezbollah is a pride for Lebanon and the Islamic World,” he went on to say.

The remarks came after a wave of attacks against the government, which began with the release of two letters issued by Iranian banks Sepah and Mellat, denying ForEx services to IRGC’s Khatam al-Anbia Headquarter for being listed in the EU sanctions list.

The Leader’s top adviser on foreign policy Ali Akbar Velayati joined critics of the so-called FATF-CBI deal, saying that the FATF restricts activities of some of Revolutionary bodies, Mehr News Agency reported.

valiollah_seifEarlier today, the Governor of Iran’s Central Bank Valiollah Seif notified Iranian banks and financial institutions, in a letter, that they are banned from imposing any restriction.

“Restriction based on US, EU or other international sanctions have no basis in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or other international commitments of the Islamic Republic”, and thus must be avoided, according to the letter.
