Iran denies aiding Iraq militia groups - Persian Journal Iran news, Latest iran news Iranian newspaper women zan

Iran Monday claimed it was not giving aid to anti-American insurgents in Iraq. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini denied U.S. government statements that Iran had been providing weapons and weapons-making expertise expertise to militia groups operating in Iraq. He claimed Washington had "good experience in fabricating evidence" and described the accusations as groundless and inadmissible, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.

RIA Novosti noted that senior American officials have stated that at least 170 U.S. troops serving in Iraq had been killed since June 2004 by improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, that were made in Iran or with Iranian help. Some of the devices have been powerful enough to destroy M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, the RIA Novosti report said.

U.S. relations with Iran have steadily grown more tense in recent months, especially over Iran's refusal to heed United Nations Resolution 1737 passed on Dec. 23, and abandon its nuclear ambitions. U.S. President George W. Bush has given approval to American forces in Iraq "to kill or capture Iranian agents suspected of abetting the insurgency there," the news agency said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has stated that Washington has documented Iran's significant weapons supplies and other support to Shiite militias in Iraq.

Iran says it's ready for new nuke talks

Iran says it's ready for new nuke talks - Persian Journal Iran news, Latest iran news Iranian newspaper women zan


Iran said it was ready to hold new talks on halting its controversial nuclear program. "mullahs' regime has consistently stated its readiness to discuss various issues through negotiations, even the issue of suspending work on uranium enrichment," Foreign Ministry's spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said.

However, Hosseini's comments appeared unlikely to impress the U.S. government. They echoed remarks Sunday by Iran's maverick president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Tehran was prepared to participate in fair negotiations on its uranium enrichment without preconditions. But Ahmadinejad also pledged that Iran would publicly proclaim a major step forward in its nuclear program by April 9.

Many experts believe (that) could be the construction of new centrifuges at a nuclear facility at Natanz.

Iran launched a second experimental chain of 164 centrifuges at Natanz in October 2006, and earlier said it will have a total of 3,000 centrifuges there by end of March 2007. The long-term target is 60,000, enough to advance to industrial-scale enrichment.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week that another session of the Iran-6 mediation group on Tehran's controversial nuclear program could take place before the international nuclear watchdog submits a report to the U.N. Security Council.

The Iran-6 group is comprised of Russia, the United States, Britain, France, Germany and China.

TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian police have warned barbers against offering Western-style hair cuts or plucking the eyebrows of their male customers, Iranian media said on Sunday.

The report by a reformist daily, later confirmed by an Iranian news agency, appeared to be another sign of the authorities cracking down on clothing and other fashion deemed to be against Islamic values.

"Western hair styles ... have been banned," the newspaper Etemad said in a frontpage headline.

It came a week after police launched a crackdown against the growing numbers of young women testing the limits of the law with shorter, brighter and skimpier clothing ahead of the summer months.

Under Iran's Islamic Sharia law, imposed after the 1979 revolution, women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes to disguise their figures.

Violators can receive lashes, fines and imprisonment.

The student news agency ISNA quoted a police statement as saying: "In an official order to barber shops, they have been warned to avoid using Western hair styles and doing men's eyebrows."

Iranian young men have in recent years started paying more attention to the way they look and dress, especially in affluent parts of the capital Tehran. Spiked up hair, by using gel, is known as the Khorusi (Rooster) style and some also use make-up.

Several hairdressers for men in Tehran offer cuts in the style of Hollywood movie stars and other Western celebrities. Clients can also have their eyebrows plucked.

Barbers could face losing their permits
The head of the barbers' union, Mohammad Eftekharifard, said police had instructed it to "exercise specific regulations in barber shops that work under its supervision."

Barbers who do not follow these rules might be closed down for a month and even lose their permits to operate, Etemad quoted him as saying.

"Currently some barber shops apply make-up and use (hair) styles that are in line with those in European countries and America," Eftekharifard said.

He added: "An official order has been sent to the union ... not to apply make-up on men's faces (or) do eyebrows ... and hence the barbers are not allowed to do these things."

Since hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the presidency in 2005 promising a return to the values of the revolution, hardliners have pressed for tighter controls on what they consider immoral behavior.

see susie's post 342 in the dinar news thread - Iran pres condoning killing of Christians, and vowing to stop Christianity in Iran. More backwards progress, and more to add to their alienation from the global community.

Yes, whenever practical Muslims have been given a fair amount of freedom for prayer. Also, they have their own places of worship and that is just the way things are done here. But, the Freedoms end when they step on the toes of others; so they can not expect to have their way all the time.

There have been complaints that employers are not allowing prayer during the work schedules and since the employer has the right to expect time for pay, this is just.

Life does not always give us what we want, but if we bend a little with the wind and walk in the same direction, life is so much simpler.

Freedom is a blessings for all here in the USA and I would hope more and more people who have arrived here realize that this is the USA and their freedoms are guaranteed by the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Without these documents, there would be no freedoms for anyone; to include religious freedom.

With all our problems and growing concerns this is still the greatest country on our beautiful planet. Those lucky enough to have been born here or arrive here legally should feel those blessings and have the desire to keep them safe. Freedom is not Free.
