Iran says Boeing team coming to Tehran

The country’s flag-carrier airline Iran Air has announced in a statement that it will host Boeing for its upcoming trade talks in Tehran.

A main topic in the agenda of discussions will be supporting the current Iran Air fleet, the airline said.

Several other Iranian airlines will also hold talks with the aviation giant, it added without providing an exact timetable on its arrival and the planned talks.

Ali Abedzadeh, the president of Iran Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), said last month that talks between Iran Air and Boeing over the purchase of new planes are continuing, stressing that a deal with the American aviation giant is “very likely” to be sealed.

Abedzadeh added that several other domestic aviation companies are also engaged in talks with Boeing to purchase planes.

The media in late January quoted a top Iranian official in a report as saying that the country plans to purchase over 100 planes from Boeing.

The same report said that Iran’s order list from the American aviation giant included narrow-body 737s for domestic flights and two-aisle 777s for long-haul routes.

In January, Iran signed a major deal worth over $27 billion for the purchase of 118 planes from Airbus.  The deal – which is yet to be finalized – was signed during a landmark trip to Paris by Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani.

Iran’s Transport Minister Abbas Akhoundi said in January that Airbus’s first deliveries to flag carrier Iran Air are due as early as July.

Iranian officials have already emphasized that the country will need to buy 500 commercial jets of various models for various short-, medium- and long-distance routes.

According to Minister Akhoundi, Iran’s current civil aviation fleet consists of 248 aircraft with an average age of 20 years, of which 100 are in storage.

Iran Facilitates Tax Conditions for Foreign Investors

“Helpful laws have been passed in Iran with the aim of removing obstacles for competitive production, based on which foreign investors would be exempted from tax for five years,” he said in a meeting with Chinese delegations.

He said that in cases where foreign companies use Iran’s internal production units to make high-quality goods and export at least 20% of the products, they would be exempted from tax.

The Iranian trade official continued, saying that investors would then have to pay 50% tax after 5 years.

He said that Iran is the largest market for retail goods in the Middle East, and given its access to to a population of 300 million people in neighbouring states, it is in a good position for trade and investment.

Ziyaie-Bigdeli said investors can use Iran as their export hub.

New chapter in Iran-Turkey banking relations

By

Hossein Yaqoubi, deputy governor of Central Bank of Iran (CBI), made the remark talking to IRNA here on the sidelines of the 25th meeting of Iran-Turkey joint economic commission that started on Friday for two days.

After announcement of ‘Implementation Day’ of the July nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and the world powers and removal of anti-Iran sanctions on January 16, Tehran has redefined its banking relations, Yaqoubi said.

According to Iran’s new definition, all conditions have been defined under the international standards and norms, he added.

Iran, in its new conditions, has extended clear message to different foreign banks including those in Turkey that the country is ready to continue its banking relations in post sanctions era, he stressed.

Iran’s approach in its ties with Turkey has not changed, but the two can have relations in new conditions under the global standards, he said.

Iranian and Turkish officials insist on touching 30 billion dollars’ worth of trade exchange in a year, he added.

As some countries do not have enough knowledge about the text of the JCPOA, they are somehow concerned, he noted.

Such a concern is baseless, he stressed.

‘If following international rules is important for international banks, so is it for Iran,’ he said.

About banking talks with Turkey, Yaqoubi said the two agreed to launch a joint banking committee.

Syrian Refugee Girls Becoming Cinderella

By
IFP Editorial Staff
-

Fahimeh Hassanmiri: One result of the recent war in Syria has been that 4.6m Syrians have become homeless, and have been forced to don the clothes of the migrant. In addition to all the political activities of various organizations, some caring artists and NGOs have taken steps to highlight the pain and suffering of the Syrian population in comparison with the experiences of many unconcerned people around the world. One of these projects is called Once Upon A War, has taken place in a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon, as part of which Syrian girls posed in front of the camera.

Perhaps the difficult life situations faced by these girls have never allowed them to imagine themselves as little Walt Disney princesses, such as Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. They probably haven’t felt that they could be considered as heroes. The photography project’s designer went to them to make sure that, even if they can’t remove the shadow of war from their lives, at least they can have this wish come true.

Difficult situations have never allowed these girls to imagine themselves as princesses

The creators of Once Upon A War made their way to the refugee camp, and chose a certain day when these girls could celebrate wearing the costumes of their favourite characters, and be captured in photos while talking about their hopes and dreams.

However, the fact remains that these little girls are real-life heroes; heroes who have been forced by war to leave school, to marry and get pregnant at young ages, and who have undergone various forms of physical, mental and sexual discrimination and abuse.

These little girls are real-life heroes

Aya is 6, and loves posing for the camera. Every time she put on a new costume, she said, “No-one has ever photographed me before.” Aya’s favourite story is Beauty and the Beast, and she hopes to become an actress one day.

 

Syrian girl

 

Manar and Wouroud are both 20 years old, and they are responsible for teaching the young children. They met in the camp 2 years ago, and since then have been inseparable. As they put it, their friendship is the only good thing that the war has brought them. Sleeping Beauty was the first fairytale Manar ever read, and it remains her favourite. Her dream is to become a doctor. Wouroud, however, loves Snow White’s kindness and peace. She is fascinated with other cultures, and her dream is to become a sociologist.

Their friendship is the only good thing that the war has brought them

 

Syrian girls

 

Bayan, aged 12, chose the Sleeping Beauty dress because it reminded her of a similar dress she once owned. When she and her family left their home 3 years ago, they had to leave everything behind, including her pink dress.

Raghad, also 12, loves Frozen, the story of two sisters, because she loves her own sister and would do anything for her, just like the character in the film.

11-year-old Mona has two favourite princesses – Jasmine and Belle. Both are strong and adventurous, and she wants to be a strong woman in future to fight against the difficulties of life.

These three all share the same dream, to become teachers.

 

Syrian girls-1

 

Cinderella is 16-year-old Maram’s choice, because she is a dreamer. She believes in a brighter tomorrow. When we talked about the war, she managed to remember only the good parts out of this tragic experience. Maram loves kids and she takes care of most of the children at the camp. Her dream is to become a children’s nurse.

She believes in a brighter tomorrow

Hiba is only 2, and was born in Lebanon. She has never been to Syria – the camp is the only life she has ever known. She has not seen the film Cinderella, but heard the story from others. When she was shown the costumes, she chose the Cinderella dress out of all the others. Hopefully, this will be the start of better days for her.

Region’s Future One of Cooperation, Security: Iranian FM

By

“The future of the region and the world is one of cooperation. Our future will be one in which there is security for everyone,” Zarif, who is on a visit to the Republic of Azerbaijan, said in a meeting with Iranians residing in the Azeri capital of Baku.

Iran believes in working with its neighbors and seriously pursues the policy of regional cooperation, he underscored.

In light of this policy, he noted, a joint meeting of Iranian, Turkish and Azeri foreign ministers was held earlier this week and trilateral talks among Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan are slated to be held on Thursday.

In their Tuesday meeting in Ramsar, north of Iran, Zarif and his counterparts from Turkey and Azerbaijan discussed closer cooperation among the three neighbors, with a focus on coordination in the fight against terrorism.

The three sides signed two documents, one of which focuses on commitments of and cooperation among Tehran, Baku, and Ankara.

The other document includes the agenda for trilateral cooperation within the coming two years.

During their talks, the three sides also underlined their commitments to peaceful resolution of ongoing crises in the region, including the one in Nagorno-Karabakh, through international solutions.

At least 30 soldiers have been killed in clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in the past few days along the frontlines of the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Each side blames the other for the fighting.

Nagorno-Karabakh has been under the control of Armenian military and separatists since a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan ended in 1994. Years of negotiations have brought little progress in resolving the dispute.

 

Iran Unveils 12 Nuclear Achievements, Including New N. Waste Facility

By
Emad Askarieh
-

New zonal centrifuges and ultracentrifuges manufactured in the country were among the accomplishments unveiled at the ceremony in Tehran.

Zonal centrifuges are used to separate cells organelles in a large-capacity rotating chamber. They are used for producing vaccines for diseases like influenza, rabies, hepatitis B, and meningitis.

Ultracentrifuge is a centrifuge optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds, capable of generating high acceleration.

The president also via video-conference inaugurated the Pasmangoor nuclear waste stabilization and storage facility in Anarak in the central province of Isfahan.

Radioactive or nuclear waste is a byproduct from nuclear reactors, fuel processing plants, and institutions such as hospitals and research facilities.

In recent years, Iranian scientists have made remarkable progress in the field of peaceful nuclear technology despite sanctions imposed by the West.

The highlights of their achievements are usually unveiled on the National Nuclear Technology Day, which falls on Friday this year.

This year’s occasion comes after the implementation of a nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

The two sides reached the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015 and started implementing it on January 16.
