The missiles were fired from areas around Hwangju country, in North Hwanghae province, towards the Sea of Japan, the Joint Chiefs said in a statement reported by CNN. This comes just under two weeks after Pyongyang test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile. That missile entered Japan's air defense identification zone, the first time that has happened. It also comes at a potentially embarrassing time for North Korea's only real ally, China, which is currently hosting the Group of Nations summit in Hangzhou. At the G20, Chinese President Xi Jinping told his South Korean counterpart on Monday that Beijing opposes the deployment of the United States' THAAD missile defense system to South Korea. "Mishandling the issue is not conducive to strategic stability in the region and could intensify disputes," Xi told Park Geun-hye. The stated purpose of the THAAD system is to defend South Korea from missile attack from the North.

In her first public meeting after a summer break in the tiny village of Brachay in northeaste France, Le Pen portrayed herself as the sole credible defender of law and order and national unity, saying the best way to combat terrorism was the ballot paper. "This referendum on France belonging to the European Union, I will do it. Yes it is possible to change things. Look at the Brits, they chose their destiny, they chose independence ... We can again be a free, proud and independent people," she said, Reuters reported. The National Front was the only major French political party to call for Britons to vote to leave the European Union, hoping Brexit would boost its own euroskeptic agenda at home. Le Pen's increasingly popular party thrives on anti-Europe and anti-immigration sentiment and opinion polls see her making it to an early May run-off in France's presidential election, but losing that second round to a mainstream candidate, as a majority of voters do not want her as president. ,france,francescas,france flag,france map,frances bean cobain,france news,france 24,france national team,francesca eastwood,francesca battistelli ...ادامه مطلب

Addressing the 11th Silk Road Mayors Forum in the Iranian city of Qazvin on Saturday, Velayati underlined that the Islamic Republic has no problem with the benefits that revival of the Silk Road will bring for China. Silk Road revival will tu China into an economic power, which Iran approves of, though many other countries might oppose, he noted.

He further made it clear that any plan for the Silk Road will include Iran as a major path, describing the Iranian southeaste port city of Chabahar as a leading juncture in that road that links land routes to the shipping lanes.

In a message to his Vietnamese counterpart, Tran Dai Quang, on Friday, President Rouhani congratulated him on the occasion, which is celebrated on September 2 every year. He further expressed the hope that through efforts made by the officials of the Islamic Republic and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, bilateral ties would expand in all political, cultural and economic areas. Vietnam’s National Day is a national holiday which commemorates the Vietnam Declaration of Independence from France on September 2, 1945. Japan occupied Vietnam during World War II but allowed the French to remain and exert some influence. At the war’s end in August 1945, a power vacuum was created in Vietnam. Capitalizing on this, the Viet Minh launched the “August Revolution” across the country to seize govement offices. Emperor Bao Dai abdicated on August 25, 1945, ending the Nguyen Dynasty. On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, Ho Chi Minh, leader of the communist Viet Minh organization, declar, ...ادامه مطلب

In the match held Thursday evening at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, Ghoochannejhad, who came off the bench, was on target in the 94th minute and six minutes later Jahanbakhsh extended the lead. Iran controlled much of the opening proceedings, but it was the Qataris who fashioned out the better of the goal scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes. Qatari Sebastian Soria’s attempt from the tightest of angles did little to trouble Alireza Beiranvand in the goal, who was also equal to Hassan Al Haydos’ effort soon after. Iranians slowly tued their dominance of possession into attempts on goal and Ashkan Dejagah should have done better with his effort from outside the area rather than dragging his low shot well wide of the target. The game tued increasingly disjointed during the second half, with Iranian defender Jalal Hosseini going close to opening the scoring 17 minutes from time when he met Andranik Teymourian’s coer with a header that went just wide of Lacomte’s goal.,iran vs qatar world cup qualifiers ...ادامه مطلب

SpaceX said there were no injuries and that an "anomaly" during the static fire test resulted in the loss of the rocket and a communications satellite owned by Israel-based Space Communication said to be going to be used by Facebook to expand inteet access in Africa. Video showed a fiery blast ripping through the upper part of the rocket before the vehicle collapsed in flames on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station just after 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT). A plume of black smoke poured into the air. The rocket's loss occurred while the first and second stages were being filled with propellant, the company said late on Thursday in a statement. "Cause still unknown. More soon," Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur who helped found Tesla Motors, said on Twitter. It was not immediately known to what extent SpaceX's launch pad was damaged or what the impact would be on the dozens of NASA and commercial satellite missions on its launch schedule.

The strikes near the town of Cukurca in a mountainous part of the border province of Hakkari come after a series of attacks launched by the PKK, which has fought a three-decade insurgency for Kurdish autonomy in southeaste Turkey, Reuters reported. Turkish military has frequently carried out airstrikes after a two-and-a-half-year ceasefire and peace process between the govement and the PKK broke down last summer. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict since the PKK - designated a "terrorist group" by Turkey, the US and the European Union - began its armed campaign in 1984. Turkey's military, NATO's second largest, has continued to grapple with the low-intensity conflict in the mainly Kurdish southeast as its senior ranks undergo a major shake-up following a July 15-16 failed coup attempt.

 Bahram Qassemi was reacting to comments by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir who accused Tehran on Wednesday of “supplying weapons to Houthis” in Yemen and “destabilizing Arab countries”. “Saudi authorities are bogged down in a bloody quagmire of terrorism and massacre of innocent women and children in Yemen, Syria and Iraq as a result of their egregious strategic errors”, Qassemi said on Thursday. He urged the Saudis to reconsider their approaches toward the region instead of desperate cries and repeated bogus claims. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman went on to add that notwithstanding Saudi officials’ attempts to cover up the kingdom’s crimes, the world is well aware today that Riyadh is using its petrodollars to kill children in Yemen and that it is the source of incitements in the region. The Saudi foreign minister’s allegations of Iran’s involvement in Yemen come at a time when Yemen’s defenseless people are under massive attacks by a coalition le,iran slams saudi-led yemen campaign,iran slams the saudi-led intervention ...ادامه مطلب

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Wednesday, Seyed Hossein Mirshojaeean Hosseini said that during the first five months of the current Iranian year (which began on March 20), the administration has approved $7 billion as foreign investment, $1.6bln to $1.7bln of which has been absorbed. In the same period, non-oil exports of the country jumped by 10.22 percent, reaching $19.1 bln, he said, adding that the figure stood at $17.3 bln in the first five months of last year.He further highlighted the growing trend of Iran’s economy during President Hassan Rouhani’s term in office and particularly after the July 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and other world powers, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Iran has stepped up efforts in recent years to enhance its non-oil exports and reduce dependency on its oil revenues. In 2014, the country’s exports of commodities and natural-gas condensate reached $50 billion, showing a 19 percent increase. There was also a boom i, ...ادامه مطلب

Addressing Iranian Defense Ministry’s officials and experts during a visit to an exhibition of the ministry’s achievements in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran has “an inalienable and absolute right” to reinforce its defensive and offensive power. In a world where bullying and domineering powers, who lack morality, conscience and humanity and have no qualms about invading countries and killing innocent people, are dominant, developing defensive and offensive industries is quite natural because security will not be achieved unless these powers feel the country’s might, the Leader reiterated. Imam Khamenei referred to the Islamic Republic’s strategic position and the sensitive conditions of the West Asia region as more reasons why development of the defensive and offensive capabilities of the country is necessary. The Leader noted, though, that Iran considers some limitations on development of its defense industries as “weapons of mass destruction like chemi, ...ادامه مطلب

“The situation is very critical,” Morteza Islami said as cited by the Guardian on Tuesday. “We have been monitoring the situation closely in the past five years and the population of female Asiatic cheetahs has significantly dropped.” Tuesday was Iran’s national cheetah day, marking an event more than two decades ago when a cub named Marita survived an attack by a group of villagers in which his mother and two siblings were killed. Marita became a national symbol. Iranian cheetahs are a subspecies of the fastest animal on earth and classified as critically endangered, with fewer than 40 believed to remain in Iran. “In some of our other environmental areas we haven’t had any reports of female cheetahs for at least two years now, including in an area near the city of Yazd where only four male cheetahs survive,” Eslami said. Two Asiatic cheetahs – a male, Koushki, and a female, Delbar – are held in captivity at Tehran’s Pardisan Park research centre.

The Izvestia newspaper said citing a source familiar with the recent consultations on Syrian settlement in the Swiss city of Geneva that the United States had sent Russia a package of proposals aimed at coordination between their air forces, Sputnik reported. Izvestia added that Moscow made it clear for Washington that Russian Aerospace Forces were not involved in aerial operation over Aleppo and the United States should be engaged in a dialogue on the issue with Syria itself. The media outlet added that Russia had no objections to coordination of its efforts with the United States, but only at a distance of several dozens of miles around Aleppo. Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with Syrian army fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups. Aleppo has been under siege by militant groups, including Jaish al-Islam, Ahrar ash-Sham and Jabhat Fatah al Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, classified as terrorist organizations in many countries.
