Iranian press on Saturday covered the league (IPL) championship win by the unpretentious Esteghlal of Khuzestan, which left the popular giants of Tehran, Persepolis and Esteghlal of Tehran, ranking second and third.

Remarks by Ayatollah Akbar Hashehmi Rafsanjani in support of the nuclear deal [JCPOA] were also extensively discussed.

US attempts to encourage Europeans to increase trade with Tehran, as well as a growing rate of suicide in Iran have also remained hot topics.

Turkey to Build at Least 10 Hotels in Iran

The hotels would be built in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz and Mashhad, the official said, under the terms of an agreement with Iran signed during a Turkish delegation’s visit to Tehran that started on Thursday.

The agreement includes incentives for investment and allows more charter flights between the neighboring countries, he said.

“We will transfer our know-how on training, planning, marketing and advertising to raise tourism standards in Iran,” the official told Reuters, declining to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Turkey and Iran will also organize joint tours for the Asian market that will include visiting cities in southeast Turkey and Iran, the official said, adding the agreement was signed during a Turkish delegation visit to Tehran that started on Thursday.

Tourism industry officials expect more than 2 million Iranians to visit Turkey this year, up from 1.7 million last year. In the first four months of 2016, there has been a 7 percent increase on last year.

That’s a rare bit of good news for Turkey’s tourism industry, which has seen revenues tumble nearly 17 percent in the first quarter, hit by a series of terrorist attacks and worsening ties with Russia.

Iran’s top tourism official said last December that the country is constructing 125 new four- and five-star hotels, stressing that the figure is a record in the Iranian hospitality industry.  

Masoud Soltanifar, the head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, emphasized that the government of President Hassan Rouhani has over the past two years constructed as many luxurious hotels as the ones constructed in the country over the past century.   

Iran has an ambitious target to increase annual visitor count by five folds to 20 million by 2025 in order to generate $30 billion a year.

Reports emerged earlier that international hoteliers are heartened by the plan. Hotel groups in the Persian Gulf Arab states are specifically believed to have already drawn plans to boost their portfolios in Iran as they see the country emerging as the most lucrative hospitality development market. 

According to Iranian officials, hotel groups from Germany, Greece, South Korea and Singapore have recently traveled to Iran for talks.

Europe’s largest hotel group Accor has also constructed two four-star hotels at Imam Khomeini International Airport outside the Iranian capital.

The UAE-based Rotana plans to open its five-star 600-room hotel in Tehran this year and another in the pilgrimage city of Mashhad.

Commander Death Bolsters Hezbollah Anti-Israel Resistance: Iran

In a message to Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, Zarif expressed the Islamic Republic’s condolences on the killing of Mustafa Badreddine by the Israeli regime.

The Iranian minister said Badreddine was “all passion and devotion” in defending the ideals of Islam and the resistant Lebanese people and in fighting terrorism.

In a statement on Friday, Hezbollah said it is investigating to find out whether a blast which claimed the life of its top military commander was caused by an airstrike, missile attack or artillery.

The Lebanese resistance movement added that initial information indicates Badreddine was killed in a big explosion at one of its bases near Damascus Airport in Syria.

Early reports had suggested that the commander, 55, was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike.

He was the commander of Hezbollah’s military wing which is helping the Syrian government drive out foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists from the country.

Badreddine also directed military operations against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and was a frequent target of attempts by Israel, the US and its allies in the Middle East to assassinate or capture him.

Israel is widely known to have been supporting terrorists fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Funeral held for Commander Badreddine

A funeral was held in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Friday afternoon for the assassinated commander.

Addressing the mourners, Sheikh Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, said the resistance movement will “continue the path” of Commander Badreddine.

He said there are various hypotheses regarding the death of Badreddine, adding that Hezbollah will not announce how the commander was killed before the end of the investigations.

Qassem added that his party will determine the nature of the blast and the identity of the perpetrators within hours.

Iran Tankers Now Free to Dock at Any Port

Ali-Akbar Safaei, the managing director of the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC), has been quoted by the media as saying that his company has been able to obtain the required certificates from international insurance agencies for its tankers to travel in international waters.

“Considering that the insurance problem [of the tankers] has been removed, Iranian tankers are now internationally insured and can dock at all ports across the world,” Safaei added. 

“Accordingly, all tankers that are under Iran’s ownership as well as any [foreign] tanker that enters Iran’s ports will not have any problem with regards to the issue of insurance”. 

The official further added that the Iranian tankers can from now on take loads for European destinations. 

He added that the remaining proceedings to obtain the most competitive insurance policies are underway and will be completed soon.   

Iran owns the world’s largest oil transportation fleet consisting of 70 tankers that include 42 VLCCs (very large crude carriers), each able to carry 2 million barrels of oil.

Last month, Safaei told reporters that Iran plans to spend at least $2.5 billion to renovate and expand its tanker fleet over the next five years. 

He added that a plan to the same effect has been devised that envisages renting tankers to foreigners. 

Other reports say Iran has put orders for the construction of 20 VLCCs with Chinese companies which have delivered them over the past two and half years.

Two Chinese firms are being cited pushing for multi-billion dollar deals with Iran to modernize its shipping fleet and build a high-speed railway.

Last month, Reuters quoted Chinese officials as saying that Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co was in discussions on building container ships and oil tankers for Iran.

Kuku Sabzi, Delicious Iranian Vegetarian Dish

Kuku Sabzi, Delicious Iranian Vegetarian Dish

Iranian dishes excel at making people who have never tried them fall in love at the first bite. The unique combination of spices and flavorings with a wide range of vegetables, herbs, fruit, grains, nuts, meat and most importantly rice only needs the wand of Iranian cuisine to perform magic and leave an explosion of unforgettable tastes in the mouth- and such is Kuku Sabzi.

Its delectable smell, delicious look and perfectly pleasant taste make it almost impossible to resist this Iranian dish. To share the gastronomic delights of Iran, IFP has decided to file the recipe for Kuku Sabzi, which is also a common meal before the turn of Persian Year on the eve of Nowruz.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1. 125 grams finely chopped parsley

2. 50 grams finely chopped scallions

3. 125 grams finely chopped wild leek

4. 125 grams finely chopped coriander

5. 125 grams finely chopped dill

6. 50 grams finely chopped fenugreek (optional) – The original recipe does not contain this herb. However, it can be included if you like the smell that it gives to the dish.

7. One-two garlic cloves, finely chopped (optional)

8. 5-7 eggs

9. Two tablespoons lightly broken walnuts – The pieces should not be too big nor should you grind walnuts into powder.

10. One heaped tablespoon barberries

11. Salt and pepper to taste

12. Cooking oil

In a large bowl, mix the finely chopped herbs and garlic with the eggs and whisk the mixture thoroughly. It is immensely important that they are well blended. Then add walnut pieces and barberries as well as salt and pepper.

Pour oil into a frying pan and let it get hot enough. Put the mixture in the pan and try to spread it evenly with the flat part of a spatula. Immediately after the mixture starts setting, turn down the heat and give it minutes to be fried. Afterward, cut it into eight wedges and flip the slices over and fry them on a low heat for about 10 minutes. The dish can be served both hot and cold. Although the dish can be baked in the oven, based on the original recipe, the mixture is usually fried in a pan.

High heat can cause the barberries and the food at large to burn and turn blackish green. On the other hand, if the oil is not hot enough before adding the batter to the pan, the mixture won’t set well.

If you have difficulty cutting and flipping over the slices, you can use a small frying pan to make omelet-like Kuku and turn it around without having to cut it into slices.

Esteghlal Khuzestan Wins Iran Professional League

The Ahvaz-based football team defeated Zobahan 2-0 at the Ghadir Stadium and won the title with the superior goal difference over Persepolis.

Mehdi Zohaivi scored twice for Esteghlal Khuzestan in the 56th and 59th minutes.

In Tehran, Persepolis defeated Rah Ahan 2-1 in front of more than 100,000 spectators but finished in second place because of an inferior goal difference to Esteghlal Khuzestan.

Ramin Rezaeian and Ahmad Nourollahi, who came off the bench, scored for Persepolis in the 82nd and 85th minute but Mehrdad Mohammadi reduced the deficit with one minute remaining.

 

 

Esteghlal came third after being held by Saba in Qom.

Mohammad Ghazi gave Saba the lead in the 28th minute but Omid Ebrahimi equalized the match from the penalty spot five minutes later.

Furthermore, Tractor Sazi humiliated Esteghlal Ahvaz 5-0, Foolad drew 1-1 with Gostarseh, Saipa was held to a goalless draw against Naft Tehran, Siah Jamegan defeated Malavan 2-0 and title-holder Sepahan lost to Padideh 2-0.

At the end of the competition, Esteghlal Ahvaz, Rah Ahan and Malavan were relegated from the IPL.

IEA says Iran’s Oil Output Rose Faster than Expected

Nevertheless, the agency emphasized that a global oversupply of crude is still shrinking in face of increasing production from Iran.

The IEA said in a report that its calculations showed that Iran ramped production up by 300,000 barrels a day month-on-month in April, hitting 3.56 million barrels a day.

The Paris-based agency further emphasized that Iran’s exports increased at greater rate, with preliminary data suggesting a month-on-month rise of 600,000 barrels a day to about 2 million barrels a day.

However, the dramatic increase from 1.4 million barrels a day seen the previous month, may have been helped by loadings that spilled over from March, it added.

China was Iran’s largest customer, importing 800,000 barrels a day of crude.

The IEA further emphasized that despite the strength of Iran’s rebound, global oil markets are moving closer to balance in the second half of the year as unplanned disruption to production in countries such as Canada and Nigeria are helping to run down a global overhang of crude inventories.

Global oil stocks will diminish to 200,000 barrels a day in the last six months of the year from 1.3 million in the first half, it said.

The IEA has previously projected supply will exceed demand by an average of 1.5 million barrels a day in the first six months of 2016.

Backing Terrorists in Region Serves Zionists: Iran’s Larijani

“Some purported Islamic governments are the enemies of God and have caused oppressed people to be killed in countries like Yemen and Syria,” Larijani said in an address to the opening ceremony of Iran’s 33rd international Quran competition, held in Tehran Wednesday.

“By helping terrorists, these governments have caused the shedding of Muslims’ blood and it is Zionists who benefit from this,” he added.

Larijani further said that rulers of certain Muslim countries publish the Quran and claim to be advocating the holy book but have actually abandoned the Quran.

He seemed to be hinting at Saudi Arabia and certain other regional countries whose backing for terrorist groups and interference in other countries’ affairs have led to crises in the region.

Riyadh has reportedly spent billions of dollars to nurture Wahhabism throughout the world, which is directly responsible for the rise of such terror networks as Al Qaeda and the Daesh (ISIL) Takfiri group, which has been wreaking havoc in several countries, mainly Iraq and Syria.

Saudi Arabia has also been under fire for violating international humanitarian law since the start of its deadly campaign in Yemen last March, which has so far claimed the lives of 9,400 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children.
