June 2 - Noor Pahlavi, heir to Iran’s exiled Pahla

June 2 - Noor Pahlavi, heir to Iran’s exiled Pahlavi dynasty, joined actor Richard Gere at the Oslo Freedom Forum this week to advocate for human rights in Iran. Speaking on behalf of 92 million Iranians, she urged the international community to support free and fair elections that would allow Iranians to choose their own democratic future, making clear the effort is not a pursuit of restored power, but a fight for the freedoms the Iranian people have long been denied.

NICOSIA, June 8 (Reuters) – The European Union sai

NICOSIA, June 8 (Reuters) – The European Union said on Monday it had imposed sanctions on two Iranian individuals and a unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for threatening the freedom of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which around a fifth of the world’s oil flows.

The move marked the first time the bloc has used a new powers to sanction Iran for restricting freedom of navigation.

The EU said in a written statement that it had added the Hormozgan Provincial Command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy to its sanctions list, as well as Mohammad Akbarzadeh and Hamid Hosseini.

It said Akbarzadeh is Deputy Commander for Political Affairs of the IRGC Navy and Hosseini is a representative of Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union.

Iran moved to close the Strait of Hormuz after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28.

“Iran‘s actions are unacceptable. In response member states have approved sanctions against Iranian entities and individuals involved in disrupting transit through the Strait of Hormuz,” Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, said earlier at a news conference in Cyprus.

“This is the first time the EU has applied its new freedom of navigation regime and when necessary we will apply it again,” added Kallas.

DUBAI/JERUSALEM, June 8 (Reuters) – Iran and Israel said on Monday they had halted attacks on each other after an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump that they immediately “stop ‘shooting’”, though Tehran said it would resume strikes if Israel continued to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The wave of attacks over 24 hours were the most direct confrontation between Iran and Israel since an April ceasefire, threatening to wreck Washington’s efforts to reach an agreement with Tehran to end their more than three-month-old war.

A 17-year-old Iranian by the name of Mani Rahmani, who was arrested after demonstrating against the regime in January and supporting former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi on Instagram, has died as a result of injuries sustained while in prison, including repeated blows to the head with metal rods and batons, and other forms of torture, according to a source close to his family.

Rahmani was returning home on Jan. 22 from the barbershop where he worked in the northwestern town of Takestan when he was arrested in the city center by agents of the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the source said. After nearly six days of searches and inquiries, Mani’s relatives found out about his wheareabouts from acquaintances in the police force, the source added.

Eventually, authorities agreed to release him after his parents pledged in writing that their son would not be seen in the city center again. Yet when Mani returned home, his parents discovered that he had been subjected to severe beatings while in custody, the source said.

According to the source, security agents had struck him repeatedly with metal rods and batons, targeting his head, back, and legs. His injuries were so extensive that he could not stand without assistance, the source added.

June 8 - London’s prestigious Almeida Theater is presenting the stage adaptation of “Under the Shadow” — an awardwinning 2016 horror movie by the British-Iranian writer-director Babak Anvari. The play runs through July 4.

Anvari’s film, set in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war, is the story of Shideh and her husband, a doctor who is conscripted and sent to the front. It won the 2017 BAFTA Film Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, and the 2016 British Independent Film Award for Best Screenplay.

The play, set in an apartment in Tehran, shows Shideh (Leila Farzad) – a doctor who cannot practice medicine due to repressive state laws — sheltering at home with her terrified young daughter while Tehran is bombed and her husband is on the battlefield.

Shideh prefers to stay home with their daughter Dorsa even after a missile strikes their building. Dorsa is afraid of demonic djinns. Shiva reads up about djinns and discovers that there is an evil spirit in the apartment.

By Kayhan Life Staff
The province of Tehran started the Iranian New Year with the worst water shortage in all of Iran, with its drinking water and agricultural supply both severely affected. Nearly three months on, the water shortage is still severe — despite a recent rise in water reserves.

With the increase in rainfall this spring, the reserves of several dams supplying water to the capital, Tehran, including the Amir Kabir Dam (commonly known as the Karaj Dam) — located 63 kilometers northwest of Tehran and 23 kilometers north of Karaj — have risen. Yet experts say the water shortage crisis continues.

Statistics indicate that as of May 16, the Karaj Dam reservoir had reached 106 million cubic meters, equivalent to 59 percent of its total capacity.

Davoud Najafian, managing director of the Alborz Regional Water Authority, said: “Due to increased inflows into the Karaj and Taleghan reservoirs in Alborz Province this year, the volume of water stored in the Karaj Dam has risen to 133 million cubic meters out of a total capacity of 179 million cubic meters. In other words, the dam is now nearly 74 percent full.”

Specialists explain that Iran’s water crisis is not simply the result of a few years of low rainfall. Rather, it stems from a long-term imbalance between the country’s natural environmental capacity and its patterns of economic and population growth.
