On Pakistan, Iran gas pipeline, Pakistani commerce minister said that Gwadar to Nawabshah gas pipeline was part of Pak-China Trade Corridor and was slated for early implementation. Pakistan will arrange construction of the remaining portion of gas pipeline from Gwadar to Iran border pipeline, thus paving way for import of Iran's gas by Pakistan. The Iranian commerce minister assured that hurdles and obstacles in the way of bilateral trade would be removed through effective measures. He offered maximum facilitation for Pakistan's private sector to hold and participate in trade exhibitions in Iran. The last Joint Trade Committee meeting was held in Islamabad in 2011.
Earlier, Pakistani Commerce Minister Engr Khurram Dastgir met Iranian Minister of Economy and Finance Dr Ali Tayyab Nia. The two sides focused on urgently establishing a banking channel to expedite trade. Engr. Khurram also called on Mr Akbar Torkan, Adviser to President of Iran and Secretary Supreme Council of Iran's Free Trade, Industrial and Special Economic Zones. Both sides mooted proposals for a joint free-trade zone between the ports of Chabahar and Gwadar, and a trade corridor to link Chabahar, Gwadar and Chaman

Parliamentarians in Iran have passed a bill to protect the rights of children which includes a clause that allows a man to marry his adopted daughter and while she is as young as 13 years. Activists have expressed alarm that the bill, approved by parliament on Sunday, opens the door for the caretaker of a family to marry his or her adopted child if a court rules it is in the interests of the individual child. Iran's Guardian Council, a body of clerics and jurists which vets all parliamentary bills before the constitution and the Islamic law, has yet to issue its verdict on the controversial legislation. To the dismay of rights campaigners, girls in the Islamic republic can marry as young as 13 provided they have the permission of their father. Boys can marry after the age of 15. In Iran, a girl under the age of 13 can still marry, but needs the permission of a judge. At present, however, marrying stepchildren is forbidden under any circumstances. As many as 42,000 children aged between 10 and 14 were married in 2010, according to the Iranian news website Tabnak. At least 75 children under the age of 10 were wed in Tehran alone. Shadi Sadr, a human rights lawyer with the London-based group Justice for Iran, told the Guardian she feared the council would feel safe to put its stamp of approval on the bill while Iran's moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, draws the attention of the press during his UN visit to New York.
"This bill is legalising paedophilia," she warned. "It's not part of the Iranian culture to marry your adopted child. Obviously incest exists in Iran more or less as it happens in other countries across the world, but this bill is legalising paedophilia and is endangering our children and normalising this crime in our culture." She added: "You should not be able to marry your adopted children, full stop. If a father marries his adopted daughter who is a minor and has sex, that's rape." According to Sadr, officials in Iran have tried to play down the sexual part of such marriages, saying it is in the bill to solve the issue of hijab [head scarf] complications when a child is adopted.
An adopted daughter is expected to wear the hijab in front of her father, and a mother should wear it in front of her adopted son if he is old enough, Sadr said. "With this bill, you can be a paedophile and get your bait in the pretext of adopting children," Sadr said. Some experts believe the new bill is contradictory to Islamic beliefs and would not pass the Guardian Council. An initial draft of the bill, which had completely banned marriage with adopted children, was not approved by the council and it is feared that MPs introduced the condition for marriage to satisfy the jurists and clergymen. This is why Sadr fears it can pass the council this time. The bill has prompted backlash in Iran with the reformist newspaper, Shargh, publishing an article warning about its consequences. "How can someone be looking after you and at the same time be your husband?" the article asked. Shiva Dolatabadi, head of Iran's society for protecting children's rights, has also warned that the bill implies that the parliament is legalising incest. "You cannot open a way in which the role of a father or a mother can be mixed with that of an spouse," she said, according to Shargh. "Children can't be safe in such a family." Execution of juvenile offenders in Iran has also been in spotlight in recent years amid confusion between the age of majority – when minors cease to be legally considered children – and the minimum age of criminal responsibility, which is 15 for boys and nine for girls under Iranian law.

What they do with their own citizens should be none of our concern or else someone will read us our infant mortality rates.That country needs immediate foreign intervention/occupation and be taught ethics.
Atomic Energy Organization in Iran (AEOI) head Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted in the news as saying that China will deploy over 20,000 workers and engineers for the nuclear power plant project.

Iranian authorities said the country is ready for the two nuclear plants that will be built by China because it has water reserves of 90 tons and up to 8 tons of uranium that will support the project.
AEOI spokesman Behrous Kamalvandi said the Iranian government expects the two Chinese-built nuclear power plants to produce up to 190,000 separative work units of nuclear fuel. The fuel will be used for industrial purposes.
"The new deal will change our country's nuclear industry," Salehi said, adding that while the cost of the two plants are high, it will be justified as Chinese firms start to open businesses in Iran.
TEHRAN, Jul. 26 (MNA) – Iran’s Central Bank and National Oil Company released the list of companies and refineries owing oil dues to Iran.
During the period US and European sanctions prevented international banks from transferring money to the Islamic Republic, billions of Iran’s oil revenues were frozen in banks overseas.
In a joint statement released by the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) the oil giants and refineries owing to Iran were listed, in which some Greek refineries, British-Dutch-owned Shell refineries, BP, South Korean Petrochemical and Polymer Company, along with Indian refineries top the list of Iran’s oil debtors.
@ShahryarHedayatiSHBA is there any truism in the news regarding Iran buying J-10 fighters from China ???
Should go for 5th gen Pak fa, its not that far away, and get mig29k meanwhile which has lot of upgrades and its a naval version, adaptability shouldn't be a problem cause you already have those in your inventory.http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20150731/1025235830.html
According to this, it states Iran is planning or finalizing a deal for 150 J-10 jets from China, 100 Il-78 from Russia and also states they are also in negotiation for 250 Su-30 aircrafts from Russia....
but even They're citing Debka File...a notorious Israeli neo-con website, with a history of promoting dubious erroneous claims and falsifications.
