Here is IFP’s translation of a report by IRNA:

Delavar Bozorgnia, the head of Mazandaran Office of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO), announced that the Organization holds the Festival of Iranian Traditional Cuisine at 8 regions with the aim of propagating the culture of using local foods in restaurants and hotels.

The Festival of Iranian Traditional Cuisine has pitted numerous emerging chefs, from provinces of Gilan, Qazvin, Golestan and Mazandaran, against one another in challenges that test their culinary skills and creativity.

“An international jury will judge the skills of the competing chefs in cooking, preparing the main dish, dessert, appetizer and drinks,” Bozorgnia added, noting that people, too, are welcome to present their ideas.

Handicrafts and traditional foods are presented in 27 booths on the sidelines of the festival to offer an opportunity to different provinces to publicize their traditional products.

Bozorgnia went on to say that 50 booths of handicrafts and tourism attractions of Mazandaran have been set up.

“The festival is held twice a day in Ramsar’s Hotel Bam-e-Sabz,” he added.

Scientific and educational workshops are among the other activities planned for the festival, which are open from 7pm to 11pm.

Mazandaran, as one of the four competing provinces, challenges its opponents with three delightful traditional dishes named, stuffed fish, Anardoon chicken [cooked with pomegranate seeds] and Kaei Pala [rice and squash].

Massoud Soltanifar, the Vice President and ICHTO Chief, also attended the closing ceremony of the festival.

West Silence on Syria Terrorists’ Crimes deafening: Iran FM

foreign-backed militants holding a boy before he was beheaded in Syria's Aleppo

Zarif posted a tweet on Friday after a video emerged showing US-backed terrorists brutally beheading a child.

Zarif TweetThe Iranian foreign minister said such acts of brutalities by the Western-sponsored terrorists have turned into the norm in Syria.

The footage, circulated on social media on Tuesday, shows a member of the Nureddin al-Zenki opposition group cutting off the 12-year-old Palestinian boy’s head with a knife on a public road in Aleppo.

Nureddin al-Zenki, which is largely based in Syria’s Aleppo province, has received military support in the past from the United States as part of Washington’s backing for “moderate” militants in Syria.

Before being killed, the boy, identified by activists on social media as Mahmoud Issa, is seen on the back of a truck surrounded by militants who accuse him of being a spy and a member of al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement.

However, the Palestinian group issued a statement, strongly denying that Issa was a member and saying the boy was ill. It further said he was killed apparently as revenge by a “terrorist” who had lost his brother in battles near Handarat, north of Aleppo.

Takfiri terrorists have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, such as public decapitations and crucifixions, against all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians, in areas they have overrun in the Arab country.

Iran’s Navy Ready to Sink US Warships in Persian Gulf: IRGC Commander

“In the Navy, we have very good conditions. Today, we are ready to seize the ships that trespass on the Persian Gulf and send the US warships into the depths of the Persian Gulf thanks to the power of our Navy,” General Jafari said in an address to a group of IRGC Navy commanders in Mashhad.

“Certain countries in the region like Saudis have joined the group of Iran’s clear enemies, spending large sum of money to spread insecurity in the country,” he went on to say.

“These days, huge prices are paid for creating insecurity in Iran; however, the enemies’ hostile plots have thus far been foiled thanks to the full preparedness of Iranian armed forces.”

 

Safeguarding Islamic Revolution Is IRGC’s Exclusive Duty

He went on to say the IRGC has the mission to safeguard the Islamic Revolution both rightly and on time.

“Safeguarding the Revolution is the exclusive duty of the IRGC; for long years, safeguarding the revolution has been among the main missions of the IRGC.”

“During these years, efforts have been made to downgrade the IRGC’s role to a merely armed group that only deals with defence and war, and behaves like other armed forces in the world,” General Jafari said in criticism of such efforts, according to a report by Tasnim, as translated by IFP.

“The IRGC cannot limit its duty to armed protection of the Islamic Revolution, because the nature of IRGC requires its supervision over the Revolution.”

“The suspects were arrested over the past two nights,” IRNA quoted Rahmani Fazli as saying.

“The terrorists had dug a 40-meter-long tunnel at a depth of 20 metres under a house to carry out explosions and terrorist attacks against the provincial bases of the Law Enforcement and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC),” the Minister noted, as translated by IFP.

“40 members of the group, including their leaders, were captured in the operation,” he went on to say.

After searching the house, the security forces found a remote-controlled booby trap, weapons and ammunition, advanced digging equipment, and a map of the digging path leading to the bases, Tasnim quoted the Police as saying.

Most newspapers on Thursday covered the threatening message of Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, who urged the country’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) to prepare a plan for restoration of Iran’s nuclear program. Larijani harshly criticized the remarks made by the West and the UN and their violation of the nuclear deal, saying that Iran is left with no other way but to build enrichment facilities.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) recently disbanded a huge corruption network in the country’s banking system. The remarks made by the IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari about the presence of politicians in the network were reported by many papers.

The formation of a third faction in the Iranian Parliament was also a top story today. The new faction is led by supporters of Larijani.

The above issues as well as many more are highlighted in the following headlines:

UN Chief Calls on World Powers to Make JCPOA Beneficial for Iranians

“I urge JCPOA participants to uphold their respective commitments and Member States to support the full and effective implementation of this agreement,” said Ban in a statement released on Wednesday, which coincides with the first anniversary of a UN Security Council resolution endorsing the nuclear deal.

“The JCPOA was a triumph of diplomacy… I applaud the dedication and determination shown on all sides,” he added.

The UN chief further called on the parties to the agreement to “uphold their respective commitments” and support its full and effective implementation.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has verified that Iran has carried out its commitments towards the historical deal, but the Islamic Republic complains that it still does not have access to global financial markets as part of the terms of the nuclear agreement. Many international banks still shy away from financing trade deals and processing transactions for fear of US penalties.

Ban’s latest statement was released just days after Iran, the US and Russia criticized the UN secretary general for a confidential report that said Iran’s ballistic missile launches “are not consistent with the constructive spirit” of the JCPOA, further urging Tehran to “refrain from conducting such ballistic missile launches since they have the potential to increase tensions in the region.”

Tehran has on various occasions asserted that the issue of Iran’s defense programs is clearly excluded from the nuclear agreement.

The JCPOA was reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries – the US, Britain, Russia, France, China, and Germany – on July 14, 2015, following some 23 months of intensive talks.

Under the deal, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program and provide enhanced access to international atomic monitors in return for the termination of all nuclear-related sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

In a statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the attacks were “unacceptable”, and added, “Bombing and killing innocent people, especially women and children, with any aim or under any pretext is unacceptable, condemned and against international norms.”

The statement came as Syria’s Foreign Ministry said French warplanes targeted the village of Tukhar near the city of Manbij in the province of Aleppo, killing at least 120 civilians.

The ministry added that scores of other civilians remain unaccounted for following the attack.

According to the ministry, the fatalities came a day after a US airstrike killed at least 20 civilians in Manbij.

The IRGC will hold multiple war games in the current Iranian year (ends on March 20, 2017) to maintain the military preparedness of the forces and send enemies the message that the forces are ready to bury them in the Persian Gulf waters, the senior commanders told reporters on Wednesday.

The commander further highlighted the level of safety and security in the country despite the critical situation in the region and developments in neighboring countries.

As regards the occasional capture of terrorists along the borders or inside the country, the general explained that only a portion of those arrested have been members of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group, while others were affiliated with anti-revolution groups.

The IRGC is vigilantly monitoring the situation and kills or arrests a number of ordinary elements of the anti-revolution groups every month in the country’s southeastern or northwestern areas, he added.

Back on June 13, troops from the IRGC Ground Force killed five members of the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) terrorist group in an ambush in Sardasht region in the northwestern province of West Azerbaijan.

And later on June 15, the IRGC forces killed a number of militants in clashes with two terrorist teams trying to intrude into Oshnavieh border area near the frontier with Iraq.

Regional and Global Security Owes to General Soleimani

General Qassem Soleimani

According to a report by Mehr, Amir Abdollahian on Wednesday hailed the important role of General Soleimani in the fight against terrorism, and said, “Regional and global security in the fight against terrorism is indebted to the command of General Soleimani.”

Pointing to the remarks made by French representative at the United Nations Security Council against General Soleimani, Amir Abdollahian said the Islamic Republic of Iran is serious on the issue of providing the highest national security.

He went on to say that “within the framework of our beliefs and our constitution, we have chosen to support our allies in the region in the fight against terrorism.”

“General Soleimani as a noble and high-ranking commander with valuable experience in the fight against terrorists is of great help to the people and governments of Iraq and Syria and the region,” he added.

Iran’s actions in the fight against terrorism are part of the cost the Islamic Republic pays to promote regional and global security, he added.

Regional and global actors must appreciate Iran for the country’s sacrifices, the efforts and leadership in the fight against terrorism, which guarantee the establishment of security in the region and the whole world, Amir Abdollahian said, urging them to refrain from delivering such absurd statements.

Supporters of Terrorism Now Targeted by Extremists

Amir Abdollahian

“There is no doubt that beyond the developments in Syria and events in region, there is a triangle of the hegemonic system with the US overt and covert support, Israel’s actions and movements and terrorist acts, each contributing to the destabilization of and damage to the region,” he noted.

Despite the human and financial losses caused by the developments in Syria, Syrian political system is maintained and the triangle has failed to change the political structure of the country, Amir Abdollahian added.

“Today we see the countries that used terrorism as an instrument to achieve their wrong goals in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and other countries in the region, are now the target of terrorism. Despite the pressures, the Axis of Resistance is the real winner,” Amir Abdollahian, a former deputy foreign minister, noted.

“The US and some countries in the region have not achieved any tangible success due to their wrong policies, but the region has suffered damages as a result of these policies.”
