Iran Newspaper front pages

On Saturday, almost all Iranian newspapers covered the remarks by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, at a gathering of Islamic countries’ ambassadors.

They also focused on President Hassan Rouhani’s controversial criticism of “Revolutionary Islam” idea, vis-à-vis his preferred idea of “Islamic Revolution”, publishing a variety of reactions, including calling Islam a religion both for struggle and for life.

The most important regional development, the resignation of Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu after his quarrel with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was also a hot topic in many newspapers.

Tehran and Berlin Reach New Agreements on Water Management

By

A special meeting of senior executives of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety and Iran’s Energy Ministry examined the provisions of a water supply and sanitation MoU inked between the two countries, and began applying the necessary amendments.

Numerous provisions were included in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), including cooperation and exchange of information and knowledge in the field of legislation, water quality standards, wastewater flows, capacity development and environmental impacts on water and wastewater treatment. They also included other issues, such as cooperation and information exchange in various water fields, including economic and social issues and the issue of public participation.

Other aspects of the contract pertained to the exchange of experience in the field of good water management and integrated water resource management, the promotion and implementation of water resource management in watersheds through the transfer of knowledge, as well as the goals and duties of river basin organizations (RBOs).

The deal also covered issues like water conflict management in different sectors (households, agriculture, environment and industry), infrastructure and smart technologies for water supply, aquifer feeding management and promotion of public-private partnerships in the water sector between the two countries.

The provisions of the MoU for the water supply and sanitation sector have been compiled and will be signed by the finance ministers of Iran and Germany in the near future.

Velayati: Iran to Maintain Support for Syria

“It is not easy for a country to withstand five years of war like Syria has. Iran will continue to support Syria’s leadership, army, and people,” Velayati told reporters upon his arrival in the Syrian capital Damascus on Friday.

He further praised efforts made by the Syrian government and army in the battle against terrorism and said, “I believe the Syrian president has shown that he can manage the country with prudence and bravery.”

Upon his arrival, the senior Iranian official was received by Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.

Mekdad briefed Velayati on the latest developments in the crisis-hit country and said a decisive victory is imminent.

“Iran has always stood by the Syrian nation, and the two countries’ ties are strategic and crucial,” he further said.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011, with various terrorist groups, including Daesh (also known as ISIS or ISIL), currently controlling parts of it.

According to a new report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people, injured 1.9 million others, and displaced nearly half of the country’s pre-war population of about 23 million within or beyond its borders.

On the sidelines of the 21st Tehran Oil Show, Abdolhossein Samari, Deputy Head of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) for Operations Affairs, said that Iranian gas refineries refined 16 billion cubic metres of natural gas in the month, more than a 6% increase year-on-year.

In the period, 259 billion cubic meters of gas were obtained from phase 12 and close to 286 million cubic meters of gas from phases 17 and 18 of the South Pars gas field.

He said Bidboland gas refining company had received more than 223 million cubic meters of gas in the month, which was more than a 20% increase compared to the same period last year.

In the month of Farvardin [Mar-Apr], Iranian gas refineries produced 227,000 tons of LPG.

He also stated that Iranian refineries yielded more than 2.1 million cubic meters of gas condensates in Farvardin last year, with this year’s figures standing at 2.9 million cubic meters, indicating a growth of 35%.

He also said that 89,000 tons of sulphur were produced by gas refining companies in the month.

Iran to Equip Navy with Homegrown Version of Phalanx CIWS

By

-

Lieutenant Commander of Iran’s Navy, Admiral Gholam Reza Biqam, said the country’s Defense Ministry has had good results in upgrading the Phalanx weapon system.

The Navy will receive the weapon system once the final tests have been performed, he explained.

Back in March 2015, Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari had unveiled plans for manufacturing the homegrown version of Phalanx.

Consisting of a radar-guided Gatling gun mounted on a swiveling base, the Phalanx has been used by multiple navies around the world, notably by the US Navy on every class of surface combat ship.

Iranian experts have already produced a powerful Gatling gun, dubbed “Moharram”.

The six-barrel weapon is a .50 calibre firearm with a high rate of fire – 2,000-2,500 rounds per minute.

The fast machine gun can also be mounted on a broad range of military vehicles, choppers, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), warships and destroyers.

Farhadi’s Newest Movie Poster Unveiled at Cannes Festival

By
Fatemeh Askarieh
-

Just days before opening the 69th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in the French city of Cannes, the latest feature film of Asghar Farhadi unveiled its poster with a French title different from the English title formerly announced. Farhadi is a renowned Iranian director, who won an Oscar for his 2011 film A Separation.

Farhadi shot his latest work The Salesman (Le Client) in Tehran, starring Taraneh Alidoosti, Shahab Hosseini, and Babak Karimi.

The movie tells the story of a couple whose relationship begins to turn sour during their performance of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.

“As in my previous films, The Salesman addresses how social challenges can propel the downfall of some people,” Farhadi was quoted as saying.

The 2016 Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to open on May 11, and Farhadi’s movie is announced to be screened on the day before the award ceremony on May 21 at Grand Théâtre Lumière.

Behnam Behzadi’s Inversion is another Iranian film participating in the event, which is scheduled to be competing in the Un Certain Regard section, run at the Salle Debussy, in parallel with the competition for the Palme d’Or.

Riyadh Attempting to Disrupt Syria, Yemen’s Peace Talks: Nasrallah

By

Nasrallah said Saudi Arabia, a main backer of the Takfiri militants, is escalating conflicts in Syria and Yemen in order to thwart any peace efforts.

He made the comments during a televised speech in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Friday.

Nasrallah further criticized Saudi Arabia for labeling Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, saying such a move aims to tarnish its reputation and please the US.

He said the Saudi regime failed to convince fellow Muslim states to join its stance against Hezbollah, adding that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) did not recently reach consensus in its final statement against the resistance movement.

Nasrallah also thanked Indonesia, Iraq, Tunisia and Algeria and other supporters of the resistance while hailing Iran’s unwavering support.

He also said that Syria is engulfed in a war because of its support for resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon, adding the US and Israel target Hezbollah and its backers, Press TV reported.

The secretary general of the Lebanese resistance vowed that resistance movements would come out stronger from attacks and assassinations.

The Saudi kingdom has been targeting Hezbollah, which has been fighting Saudi-backed extremism inside both Lebanon and Syria.

Earlier this year, Lebanese Foreign Minister Gibran Bassil refused to back a motion drafted by Saudi Arabia against the Islamic Republic, prompting Riyadh to retract a $4-billion aid pledge to Lebanon and demand an apology, which Lebanon refused to give.

The motion had sought to condemn Tehran over January attacks on vacant Saudi diplomatic premises. The attacks occurred during otherwise peaceful protests against Saudi Arabia’s earlier execution of prominent Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.

Some local media reports in Lebanon have, meanwhile, said the Saudis may be applying pressure to secure the release of a member of the royal family held in Lebanon since last October on drug charges.

Abdul-Mohsen al-Waleed Al Saud was detained in Beirut after authorities seized two tons of amphetamine pills before they were loaded onto his private plane.

 

Iran set to take over Qatar in gas output from shared field

By
Emad Askarieh
-

Ali-Akbar Sha’banpour, the managing director of Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), told reporters that Iran’s production of natural gas from the field – called South Pars by Iran and the North Dome by Qatar – will surpass 500 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d) once several ongoing projects are fully developed.

Sha’banpour said the projects are phases 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 of South Pars.

Iran’s current production from the field – the world’s largest independent gas field – stands at around 130 mcm/d, he added.

The official further emphasized that the prospects for Iran’s win in its rivalry with Qatar in producing gas from the field comes as Qatar’s production has been at a fixed level of about 177 mcm/d over the past three years.

“In 2013, Qatar’s production from the field was two times higher than Iran’s,” said Sha’banpour. “Today, Iran has been able to decrease the difference by putting more projects into production,” he added.

The huge offshore field covers an area of 9,700 square kilometers, 3,700 square kilometers of which are in Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. The remaining 6,000 square kilometers are situated in Qatar’s territorial waters.

The field is estimated to contain a significant amount of natural gas, accounting for about eight percent of the world’s reserves, and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensate.

Iran has defined over 20 projects in South Pars – each designated as a numbered phase. Over a dozen phases have been made operational, several will be – as Sha’banpour said – fully developed soon and the remaining phases are still to be awarded to companies.

Iran Says Ready to Join Oil Freeze Plan

By
Emad Askarieh
-

Mohsen Qamsari, the director for international affairs of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), told reporters that Iran has already reached the desirable level of oil output to proceed with freezing its production.

Qamsari said Iran’s current production of oil, based on OPEC calculations, stands at around 4.2 million barrels per day (bpd) by considering the daily production of 500,000 bpd of condensate.

“Accordingly, the desirable figure for Oil Minister [Bijan Zangeneh] has been reached and we can join the oil freeze plan,” he has been quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.

Nevertheless, the official emphasized, the decision to join the plan should be taken by the oil minister, himself.

“It is expected that he will make a decision over this,” other news agencies have quoted Qamsari as saying.

The oil freeze plan that has been raised by key OPEC and non-OPEC producers requires the global production of oil to remain at January levels.  The plan is meant to boost the prices that have fallen 65 percent since peaking in June 2014 due to oversupply.

Iran had so far rejected the call to freeze its output as unfair and emphasized that it will go ahead with its plans to increase its oil production.

Nevertheless, it had made it clear that it is ready to join the plan after its output reaches 4 million barrels per day.

The country had been under multiple years of sanctions that limited its oil exports to 1 million barrels per day and also barred foreign investments in its oil industry.

The sanctions were lifted in mid-January with the implementation of a deal that the country had reached with the P5+1 – the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany – over its nuclear energy program.

Shortly after the removal of the sanctions, Iran increased its oil production by several hundred thousand barrels per day.

NIOC’s Qamsari told reporters on Friday that Iran’s oil exports already stand at 2.2 million bpd of which at least 0.5 million bpd is exported to Europe.

He also emphasized that any fresh rise in the country’s oil production will depend on market conditions and its domestic capabilities.
