Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah(HA) has warned that the movement will strike Israel's infrastructure, including its airports and refineries, in the event of any Israeli attack on Lebanon.
During an address commemorating the assassination of three Hizbullah leaders by Israel, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah(HA) vowed to bomb Israel's Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv should the regime hit Beirut's Martyr Rafiq al-Hariri International Airport in any future war.
"If you hit Martyr Rafiq al-Hariri international airport in Beirut, we will hit Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv," he said via a live video link in Beirut's southern suburbs on Tuesday.
"If you hit our ports, we will bomb your ports, and if you hit our oil refineries, we will bomb your oil refineries," he added.
He also threatened that should Israel bomb Lebanon's refineries, factories or power plants, the movement would retaliate with all its might.

US Hand-Over Abducted Iranian Nuclear Scientist - 13Jul2010 - English

Iranian academic Shahram Amiri who was abducted by the US last year is now in Iran's interest section in Washington.
Iranian academic Shahram Amiri, who was abducted by the US last year, has been escorted by American forces to Iran's interest section in Washington.
IRIB reported on Tuesday that Amiri took refuge in Iran's interest section in Washington, urging an "immediate return" to Iran.
The Pakistani Embassy in Washington preserves Iran's interests in the United States, since the two countries have no diplomatic relations.
In collaboration with Saudi forces, US security forces kidnapped Amiri while he was on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia in June 2009 and took him to America.
Since then, two videos and one audio message featuring him have emerged.
In the first video, Amiri said that he was abducted "in a joint operation by terror and kidnap teams from the US intelligence service, CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and Saudi Arabia's Istikhbarat" from Medina.
In the second video, he contradicted his earlier statements, saying that he was in the US of his own free will to further his education, dismissing all rumors about his defection.
However, in the latest audio message obtained by Iran's intelligence sources, Amiri insists that he was offered $10 million to appear on CNN and announce that he had willingly defected to the US.
Holding the US accountable for Amiri's abduction, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss charge d'affaires, whose embassy represents US interests in Iran, earlier this month and handed over new documents related to the abduction of the Iranian national by the CIA.
Analysts say US intelligence officials decided to free Amiri after they failed to advance their propaganda campaign against Iran's nuclear program via fabricating interviews with the Iranian national.

Israel uncooperative in UN flotilla probe
Israel has refused to cooperate with the UN Human Rights Council in a probe into a deadly Israeli attack on an international Gaza-bound aid convoy, a UN official says.
A member of the UN fact-finding mission, Juan Carlos Monge, said Israel has not allowed free access to officials and witnesses unlike Turkey and Jordan.
Tel Aviv said on Tuesday that it would not comment on the UN official's claim, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer heads the UN panel, with former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe acting as its vice chairman.
On May 31, Israeli commandos attacked the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla in international waters, killing nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists.
Dozens of the activists onboard the ship suffered injuries during the assault and many reportedly had their belongings stolen.
The convoy was carrying thousands of tons of supplies for 1.5 million impoverished people of Gaza, who have been under siege since 2007.
The UN committee is expected to disclose the results of its investigation into the Israeli attack in an initial progress report in mid-September.

HAMAS Says PA Talks With Zionists Is Tantamount To Capitulation - 13 SEP 2010 - English

PA to renew Israeli talks without freeze
Despite Israel's refusal to extend its settlement freeze, the Palestinian Authority (PA) will still resume the second round of direct talks with Tel Aviv.
The upcoming meeting will be held at Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Tuesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and acting PA Chief Mahmoud Abbas held the first round of negotiations in Washington on September 2.
Following the first meeting, Abbas warned that he would leave the negotiations should Israel resume its illegal settlement activities.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US Middle East Envoy George Mitchell will also travel to Egypt to attend the meeting.
The four officials will then move to al-Quds (Jerusalem) for a second day of talks on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama will meet with Abbas and Netanyahu in New York next week during the UN General Assembly meeting.
The second round of Israeli-PA talks comes after Israel on Monday approved the construction of more than 13,000 new settler units in the occupied West Bank.
In November, the Israeli premier announced a 10-month freeze on illegal settlement expansion projects in the occupied West Bank.
But Tel Aviv has repeatedly violated the freeze, which expires on September 26, by continuing to construct more settlement units.

Israeli tanks roll into Gaza Strip
Israeli tanks have attacked Palestinian refugee camp of al-Burage in their second invasion of the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.
The Israeli military claimed Monday that the attack was in retaliation for mortar attacks by Hamas fighters on southern Israel.
There have been no immediate reports of casualties, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The raid came after an Israeli tank on Sunday killed three people in the town of Beit Hanoun.
The Israeli violation of the coastal enclave comes after the Palestinian Authority engaged in direct talks with Tel Aviv.
The incursion is in violation of a Palestinian demand for Israel's complete withdrawal behind the borders of 1967, when it captured Gaza, the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Gaza is still far from recovering from the Israeli war at the turn of 2009, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, most of them civilians.

Ahmadinejad: IAEA under pressure
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is under Western pressure when it comes to reporting on Iran's nuclear program.
"Western powers have dominated the agency. So when they prepare a new report they pick on two issues," Ahmadinejad told reporters on Friday. "They are not even sure to which legal article they can adhere to when they seek to speak against us."
"They speak in general terms, and do not provide any evidence to show that we have committed any violations," he added.
The president criticized the agency's latest report, in which Director General Yukiya Amano concludes that the IAEA verifies the non-diversion of "declared" nuclear material in Iran, but has adopted unusual wording with regard to the country's safeguards obligations.
"We say we have shown you everything that we have...and when we ask them to show proof of the existence of this undeclared material, they ask us in turn to offer evidence that they are non-existent."
Iranian officials reject Western accusations that Tehran is pursuing a military nuclear program, arguing that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear energy.

Israeli forces raid al-Aqsa Mosque
Israeli forces have stormed the holy al-Aqsa Mosque in al-Quds (Jerusalem) to disperse Palestinians protesting against Israeli aggressions.
Palestinian officials say the protests started after an Israeli guard shot and killed a 32-year old Palestinian during clashes between Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the Silwan neighborhood on Wednesday.
The killing sparked protests in the area in which at least ten Palestinians were wounded.
Israeli riot police used rubber bullet and tear gas to disperse protesters and chased off those who sought refuge at al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third-holiest shrine.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or further confrontations.
Despite the resumption of direct Israeli-Palestinian talks, the Palestinian Authority says Israeli settlers have not stopped attacking Palestinians in occupied territories for even a single day.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official in charge of monitoring settler activity in the northern, occupied West Bank, says Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and their properties on a daily basis. He says the attacks are premeditated and carefully planned.
Other reports say Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farms in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday and took away part of their olive crop.

Abbas concedes settlement construction
The acting Palestinian Authority chief says direct talks with Tel Aviv will continue even if Israel resumes the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Mahmoud Abbas had repeatedly threatened to walk away from the US-sponsored direct negotiations, launched this month in Washington, if Tel Aviv does not extend its partial settlement freeze -- due to expire at the end of the month.
"I cannot say I will leave the negotiations, but it's very difficult for me to resume talks if Prime Minister Netanyahu declares that he will continue his activity in the West Bank and Jerusalem,'' Abbas told a closed meeting of Jewish American leaders in New York late Tuesday, according to a transcript of the event obtained by the Associated Press.
The U-turn will likely anger most Palestinians, who believe Abbas has backed away from his ultimatum under Washington pressure.
During the meeting, Abbas again asked Israel to extend the freeze for several months while the two sides negotiate the final borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state.
"Let's demarcate the border, at that time. Israelis will be free to build in their territory and the Palestinians the same,'' Abbas said.
Despite the international calls, Tel Aviv has so far refused to renew the partial 10-month freeze on new settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. Israeli settlement expansion is illegal under international laws.

Iran takes the design and manufacturing of domestic-built military hardware to a new level by delivering stealth flying boats to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
"Bavar 2," is a radar-evading fixed-wing seaplane capable of patrol and reconnaissance missions. At least 11 flying boats joined the IRGC fleet on Tuesday after an official ceremony.
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said the new delivery was in line with the country's efforts to boast regional security.
"Equipping the country's Naval and Armed forces with advanced and modern weaponry will bolster the stability and security of the region and play an effective role in consolidating Iran's deterrent power," a statement on the Defense Ministry's website quoted Vahidi as saying.
The country has finished several major defense projects this year, despite several rounds of UN Security Council sanctions targeting Iranian military and financial sectors over Western allegations that Tehran is following a military nuclear program.
Iran will soon unveil and launch the second generation of Jamaran destroyers, Sina class frigates as well as a new generation of submarines, Commander of the Iranian Army Major General Ataollah Salehi announced last Wednesday.
In August, the Iranian Navy was equipped with four more domestically-made stealth Ghadir class mini-submarines.

Leader: Enemies target people, religion
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned against enemy plots to target the Iranian people and their religion.
\\\\\\\"Enemies of the Islamic Revolution who intend to inflict damage on the revolution have two main targets, including the religion of the people and their devotion to the revolution,\\\\\\\" said Ayatollah Khamenei in an address to a huge crowd of enthusiastic people in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday.
The Leader added that enemies are well aware of the fact that the Islamic Revolution could not resist against their plots if it were not based on religion.
\\\\\\\"An establishment which is based on religion will not yield to pressure of enemies and bullying powers,\\\\\\\" Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader reiterated that the Iranian nation has always supported the Islamic Revolution and said the Islamic establishment could not resist against enemies if the Iranians did not have a complete presence in all scenes and if there were a rift between the people and the country\\\\\\\'s officials.
The Leader pointed to the presence of 40 million Iranians in last year\\\\\\\'s presidential election, saying it vaccinated the Islamic Revolution against social and political microbes and increased the people\\\\\\\'s insight.

Leader: Enemies target people, religion
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned against enemy plots to target the Iranian people and their religion.
\\\\\\\"Enemies of the Islamic Revolution who intend to inflict damage on the revolution have two main targets, including the religion of the people and their devotion to the revolution,\\\\\\\" said Ayatollah Khamenei in an address to a huge crowd of enthusiastic people in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday.
The Leader added that enemies are well aware of the fact that the Islamic Revolution could not resist against their plots if it were not based on religion.
\\\\\\\"An establishment which is based on religion will not yield to pressure of enemies and bullying powers,\\\\\\\" Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Tuesday, 02 November 2010 19:05 Baqie Cemetery -
Pilgrims are pouring in from all over the world for the Hajj, and since there is still at least ten days for the pilgrimage to start in holy Mecca, the faithful are visiting holy Medina to pay their respects at the shrine of the Almighty's Last Messenger to mankind, Prophet Mohammad (SAWA). The devotees also make it a point to visit the ruins of the Sacred Jannat al-Baqie Cemetery nearby, which was unfortunately destroyed on April 13, 1925 when the Wahhabis seized control of the Hejaz and the holy cities. The most imposing mausoleum in Baqie used to be over the blessed tombs of four of the Infallible Imams of the Prophet's Household: Imam Hasan Mojtaba, Imam Zain al-Abedin, Imam Mohammad Baqer and Imam Ja'far Sadeq (peace upon them).

Iran tests radars on 3rd day of drills
Iran's military has entered the third day of its biggest ever nationwide air drills, with testing radar capabilities in defending the country's territory.
The anti-air defense units from Iran's Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are taking part in the five-day air defense maneuvers dubbed Defenders of Velayat Skies, which began on Tuesday.
According to the spokesman for the military drills Brigadier Hamid Arzhangi, various kinds of fixed and mobile radars that have been domestically manufactured or refurbished would be tested during the third day of the drills on Thursday.
He further explained that radars would be used to detect and identify objects and pass relevant data to the operational units.
The military official added that all types of the country's radar systems, which would relay intelligence to the unified command and control network of the central headquarters, would be utilized and examined during the third day of the maneuvers.
He pointed out that reconnaissance missions to detect state-of-the-art systems of theatrical enemies using radars were also on the agenda of the third day of drills.
During the second day of the maneuvers on Wednesday, advanced equipment used for communication and exchange of intelligence along with modern electro-optical systems were successfully tested and utilized.
The air maneuvers are being held near Iran's strategic sights and landmarks, aiming to assess performance of new air defense systems and enhance rapid response capabilities in countering potential aerial attacks.
Iranian military officials say the drills convey a message of peace and friendship to neighboring countries and a fierce warning against enemies.
Iran simulates Electronic Warfare in drills
An Iranian commander says the Air Force has "analyzed and conducted" Electronic Warfare (EW) missions during the first three days of its biggest defense drills.
"EW means jamming the enemies' electronic systems, equipment, and capabilities and the mission of this war is to seize and control electromagnetic fields," Colonel Moharam Qolizadeh said on Thursday.
"We have analyzed and conducted EW missions in the drills [dubbed] 'Modafean Aseman Velayt 3' (Guardians of Velayati Skies)," he added.
The colonel said the maneuvers were aimed at "spotting [the enemy] without being spotted" and tapping the enemy communications lines without compromising transmissions by Iranian forces.
Earlier on Thursday, the spokesman for the military drills Brigadier General Hamid Arzhangi said Iran had successfully tested a new generation of its first domestically-manufactured air defense system during the third day of the nationwide air drills.
The Mersad (Ambush) modern medium-range system is capable of spotting and destroying advanced aircraft at low and high altitudes.
In addition to its high mobility, Mersad's new generation can be used in electronic warfare and can be networked with other radar and defense systems, Arzhangi added.
The forces were also set to test various models of fixed and mobile radars that have been domestically manufactured or refurbished.
Air defense units from Iran's Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are taking part in the five-day air maneuvers.

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri plans to visit Iran in November in an effort to expand ties with the Islamic Republic, a newspaper close to his political alliance has reported.
Hariri announced his plans to visit Iran in a recent meeting of his Future Movement political party, major Lebanese daily An-Nahar reported, quoted by IRNA on Sunday.
The Lebanese daily, affiliated with the March 14 Alliance which is close to the Lebanese premier, said Hariri's visit will likely take place in late November.
Another influential Lebanese daily As-Safir also confirmed the reported planned visit and siad that Hariri's trip to Iran will likely take place on November 28 and 29.
An IRNA report from Beirut, however, quotes an informed source in Hariri's office as describing the reports as "media speculations."
While not denying the planned visit, the source stated that the "official date" of the visit has not been announced "though it will not take long for it to be set."
The Lebanese prime minister is due to visit Russia on Monday and then travel to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for an official visit.
According to the IRNA report, Abu-Dhabi will be Hariri's next destination before his visit to Iran.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad led a high-level delegation in a landmark visit to Lebanon last October in which he emphasized Iran's determination to expand ties with the country in all fields.

ساعت خبر: 15:5 - تاريخ خبر: 03/03/1390
در سالروز فرخنده میلاد با سعادت بانوی برگزیده دو عالم، دخت پیامبر خاتم، حضرت فاطمه زهرا سلام الله علیها و همچنین فرزند برومندشان امام خمینی (ره)، مراسم مولودی خوانی و ذکر فضائل و مناقب آن بانوی عفاف و نجابت، در حضور حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی برگزار شد.
به گزارش واحد مرکزی خبر، حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای در این مراسم که با حضور جمعی از شاعران و ذاکرین اهل بیت عصمت و طهارت علیهم السلام در حسینیه امام خمینی بر پا شد، با تبریک میلاد با سعادت بانوی دو عالم حضرت زهراء (س)، آن حضرت را \\\\\\\"عنصر ملکوتی، الهی و بی نظیر در عرصه وجود از لحاظ نورانیت \\\\\\\"بعد از پیامبر گرامی اسلام (ص) و امیرالمومنین علی (ع) دانستند و افزودند: ذکر مکرر نام مبارک حضرت زهرا (س) و بقیه الله الاعظم (عج) بیش از سایر معارف اسلامی در تمام دوران انقلاب اسلامی\\\\\\\"پدیده ای الهی و یک امر روئیده از دلها، عواطف و ایمانها \\\\\\\" است.
رهبر انقلاب اسلامی تقارن این میلاد را با ولادت امام خمینی (ره)، پدیده ای بسیار شیرین خواندند و اظهار داشتند: امام خمینی (ره) حقیقتاً نمونه و مستوره ای از همان حقیقت درخشنده همراه با ایمان، اخلاص، عبادت، غیرت و ایستادگی در راه خدا بودند.
ایشان ذکر نام حضرت زهرا (س) را به مناسبتهای مختلف در طول این انقلاب ، نشانه توجه ویژه آن بزرگوار به کشور دانستند و خاطرنشان کردند: این توجه، بسیار با ارزش و امیدبخش است و دلها و گامها را برای دست یافتن به اهداف نهایی مطمئن، استوار و خاطرجمع می کند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با اشاره به راه دشوار همراه با مزاحمتها، معارضه ها و برخوردهای گوناگون در طول 32 سال پس از پیروزی انقلاب اسلامی افزودند: ادامه خط مستقیم و زاویه پیدا نکردن این خط و حفظ شعارها و اهداف انقلاب به برکت بیان روشن و رسای امام بزرگوار، از مهم ترین خصوصیات انقلاب اسلامی ایران است.
ایشان تصریح کردند: با «حرکت امیدوارانه و برداشتن قدمهای محکم» هیچ قدرتی در دنیا نمی تواند راه این انقلاب را سد کند.
رهبر انقلاب، ایستادگی، ثبات، تداوم، پایبندی به ارزشها و اصول انقلاب اسلامی ایران را موجب رویاندن شکوفه های امید در دل ملتهای مسلمان و ناظران جهانی ارزیابی کردند و افزودند: خصوصیت این انقلاب عظیم اسلامی این بود که به فضل الهی آن بهار تا امروز خزان نداشته است.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای تأکید کردند: اگر ملت ایران در مقابل تهدیدات استکبار جهانی عقب نشینی می کرد و از شعارهایش دست می کشید، این گلهای امید در دل ملتها پژمرده می شد.
ایشان افزودند: به برکت نام مبارک حضرت زهرا (س) و بقیه الله الاعظم (عج) و توجهات ائمه اطهار علیهم السلام و با ایستادگی ملت ایران، این نهالهای امید بارور شدند، بنابراین این توجه، توسل و از خدا دانستن و به خود غَرّه نشدن را باید در خودمان نگه داریم.
رهبر انقلاب در بخش دیگری از سخنانشان انتخاب\\\\\\\" شعر، آهنگ و صوت خوب\\\\\\\" را در حرفه زیبا، ظریف و مؤثر مداحی ضروری دانستند و خاطرنشان کردند: آنچه خوانده می شود باید به درستی انتخاب و جهات صوری و معنوی آن لحاظ شده باشد.
ایشان با اشاره به اینکه آهنگهای بد و لهوی نباید وارد حرفه مداحی شود افزودند: انتخاب و ابتکار شکلهای جدید در قرائت و آهنگ سازیها عیبی ندارد.
رهبر انقلاب با تأکید بر انتخاب مضمون مناسب در ذکر مناقب ائمه اطهار علیهم السلام خاطرنشان کردند: ذکر مناقب متقن، معتبر و مستند ، دلها را شاد می کند و شوق را برمی انگیزاند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای با اشاره به نیاز جامعه به نصایح ائمه و استفاده از گفتار و رفتار آن بزرگواران برای رشد اخلاق، افزودند: باید با گسترش خُلقیات خوب، روحیه همدلی، برادری، صفا و اخوت را در جامعه اعتلا بخشید و با ترویج خیرخواهی، تعاون، صبر، احسان، ایثار و گذشت، از تنگ نظری، ناامیدی، بدخواهی و بُخل پرهیز کرد.
ایشان پیشرفت جامعه مداحان را خوب توصیف و بر مسأله بصیرت بخشی در مداحی تأکید کردند اما در عین حال تعرض به دیگران را مذموم خواندند و افزودند: بر اثر بصیرت بود که ملت ایران توانسته است بایستد و استقلال، ایستادگی، معرفت و ایمان خود را حفظ کند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای مطالعه و انس با قرآن و احادیث را برای جامعه مداحان ضروری دانستند و خطاب به آنان تصریح کردند: آیات و احادیثی که در آن نصیحت است آن را یادداشت و قرائت کنید.
ایشان با اشاره به اینکه توجه به دعا، توسل، ذکر، خشوع، نماز نافله و حفظ و تقویت آن باعث حل تدریجی کارهای دشوار در زندگی می شود افزودند: این رشته ارتباط با مقام احدیت که متصل با اهل بیت علیهم السلام است دل و ذهن را صفا می دهد.
در ابتدای این دیدار تعدادی از شاعران و مداحان اهل بیت علیهم السلام به ذکر فضایل و مناقب حضرت زهرا (س) پرداختند.

ایشان پیشرفت جامعه مداحان را خوب توصیف و بر مسأله بصیرت بخشی در مداحی تأکید کردند اما در عین حال تعرض به دیگران را مذموم خواندند و افزودند: بر اثر بصیرت بود که ملت ایران توانسته است بایستد و استقلال، ایستادگی، معرفت و ایمان خود را حفظ کند.
حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای مطالعه و انس با قرآن و احادیث را برای جامعه مداحان ضروری دانستند و خطاب به آنان تصریح کردند: آیات و احادیثی که در آن نصیحت است آن را یادداشت و قرائت کنید.
ایشان با اشاره به اینکه توجه به دعا، توسل، ذکر، خشوع، نماز نافله و حفظ و تقویت آن باعث حل تدریجی کارهای دشوار در زندگی می شود افزودند: این رشته ارتباط با مقام احدیت که متصل با اهل بیت علیهم السلام است دل و ذهن را صفا می دهد.
در ابتدای این دیدار تعدادی از شاعران و مداحان اهل بیت علیهم السلام به ذکر فضایل و مناقب حضرت زهرا (س) پرداختند.

Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has stressed the importance of appointing a caretaker for the Oil Ministry “at the earliest” oppotunity.
“Now that the Guardian Council has clarified the issue, the caretaker for Iran's Oil Ministry should be introduced as soon as possible,” Larijani said in the Majlis open session on Tuesday.
“The council's views should be implemented,” he added, Mehr news agency reported.
Larijani's remarks came after the Guardian Council described Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's decision to temporarily run the country's Oil Ministry as “illegal,” saying it runs counter to the provisions of Article 135 of Iran's Constitution.
The council, which is charged with interpreting the Constitution, argues that according to the article, the Iranian chief executive is only allowed to appoint a caretaker minister in three months.
In a televised speech on May 15, President Ahmadinejad said he will run Iran's Oil Ministry temporarily following his decision to relieve three Iranian ministers of their duties as part of a plan to merge ministries.
The Iranian government announced plans on May 9 to merge the ministries of Roads and Transportation with Housing and Urban Development, Energy with Oil, Industries and Mines with Commerce, and Welfare and Social Security with Labor and Social Affairs.
President Ahmadinejad issued three separate decrees on May 14, dismissing Welfare Minister Sadeq Mahsouli, Minister of Mines and Industries Ali Akbar Mehrabian and Oil Minister Massoud Mirkazemi from their posts according to the 53rd article of the Fifth Five-Year Development Plan.
According to Iran's Fifth Five-Year Development Plan (2010-2015), the Iranian government is obliged to reduce its ministries form 21 to 17 to officially improve the efficiency of state administration.
