โšก๏ธ Cyrus Cylinder a model for reviving global human rights values: Envoy

๐Ÿ“Œ London, IRNA โ€“ Iranโ€™s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations office in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, has emphasized that the teachings and ideals of the Cyrus Cylinder can serve as a model for revitalizing global human rights values.


Bahreini made the remarks at a high-level joint meeting entitled โ€œRole of the Manifesto of Cyrus the Great in the Formation of Modern Human Rights and Freedomsโ€, jointly organized by the Permanent Missions of Tajikistan and Iran to the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) on Wednesday.
โ€‹
Pointing to the shared human heritage of the Cyrus Cylinder, rooted in respect, tolerance, and human dignity, Bahreini emphasized that in the face of contemporary challenges, drawing on this heritage demonstrates that the pursuit of justice and dignity is not an emerging phenomenon, but rather a deeply rooted ideal that has connected people across history and diverse cultures.
โ€‹
The envoy emphasized that the ideals of the Cyrus Cylinder can serve as a unifying narrative to strengthen the universality of human rights, stressing respect for diversity and coexistence in an increasingly polarized world.
โ€‹
He described the Cyrus Cylinder as more than a historical document, calling it a symbol of shared human ideals and transnational values that hold significance for international audiences.
โ€‹
Referring to the developments of the past two months and the resistance of the Iranian people against aggression, Bahreini described these as a clear manifestation of the enduring influence of the Cyrus Cylinder on the national commitment to sovereignty and identity.

๐Ÿ”Š Iranโ€™s drone production surged tenfold since June war: Army official

๐Ÿ“Œ Tehran, IRNA โ€“ The deputy executive officer of Iranโ€™s armed forces, Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh, says the production rate of attack drones increased tenfold since the war waged in June against Iran.


Brigadier General Sheikh made the remarks on Thursday, ahead of April 18, National Army Day, detailing the armed forcesโ€™ achievements and lessons learned from recent wars.
โ€‹
Referring to the strategic accomplishments of the armed forces, he noted that Iran has shifted power dynamics across multiple domains.
โ€‹
He highlighted a significant increase in the countryโ€™s defense production, saying, โ€œIn the seven months following the second war, our drone production was ten times greater than the total production during the entire period before it.โ€
โ€‹
Regarding advancements in drone technology, he said, โ€œA true revolution has occurred in the field of drones. They have played a crucial role as a key tool in disrupting the enemyโ€™s defense strategies, enabling our missiles to strike targets accurately and precisely.โ€
โ€‹
He attributed such success to Iranโ€™s self-reliance approach, noting that the Islamic Republicโ€™s focus on domestic capabilities has facilitated production across all sectors.
โ€‹
Discussing the evolving nature of warfare, Sheikh emphasized that war is no longer solely about military operations. โ€œSuccess in the operational domain is not about destroying targets, but achieving stated objectives,โ€ he added.
โ€‹
Sheikh also highlighted Iranโ€™s defensive successes, saying, โ€œSo far, there have been no border incursions, despite the enemyโ€™s extensive plans for a ground assault. Likewise, they have not been able to approach our territorial waters. This success is due to the coordinated deployment of the armed forces throughout Iranโ€™s geographical landscape.โ€
โ€‹
He reaffirmed that the armed forces are fully prepared to defend the country, asserting that the Islamic Republic and its Army are capable of safeguarding the nation. If operations resume, he assured that the Islamic Republic would respond with the foresight and rationality that have been established.

๐Ÿ“„ Pezeshkian lauds Iranโ€™s economic management during US-Israeli aggression

๐Ÿ“Œ Tehran, IRNA โ€“ President Masoud Pezeshkian has praised Iranโ€™s economic management during the aggression imposed by the criminal regimes of the US and Israel.


Pezeshkian made the remarks in Tehran on Thursday. He said that while Iran was simultaneously facing war, sanctions, and economic pressures, Iranians practically encountered no serious shortages on daily needs.
โ€‹
This, he said, was the result of precise decision-making in the government and the support of the Leader in managing the supply of essential goods.
โ€‹
Pezeshkian identified creating unity and cohesion as the key factors of management in wartime.
โ€‹
Achieving a common perspective among officials, especially in economic fields, is a time-consuming but necessary process that plays a decisive role in overcoming crises, he noted.
โ€‹
Elsewhere in his remarks, Pezeshkian said that the 40-day resistance of the nation should be reflected through the production of effective narratives.
โ€‹
The US and the Israeli regime imposed a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians, on February 28.
โ€‹
In retaliation, Iranian Armed Forces launched attacks on American and Israeli positions in the region, demonstrating their capability to strike back effectively.
โ€‹
Despite initial expectations by the attackers of a swift victory, the Iranian response proved significantly more potent, inflicting heavy damage on US and Israeli military resources while rallying the nationโ€™s unity and resistance.
