Our northern forests are among the most unique forests of the world that we need to preserve

Even around the big city of Tehran, we have some pastures, where various medicinal herbs grow. We have a large variety of medicinal herbs in our country. In some provinces, there is an important number of medicinal herbs. In some valleys located in the east of Tehran, in the valleys of the mountains which are called small Alborz, medicinal herbs are abundant, according to experts. All of these are great national assets and God's blessings, they should be valued and reserved. As I was informed, Iran's forests, especially the northern forests, are among the most unique forests in the world. In many of the countries of the world that have forests, there is not this type of forest that we have in the north. They must be preserved, they are very valuable. A few traders who seek financial gain, and do not think of national interests, encroach on these pastures or forests or other natural assets, while [only] considering their own profits.

Many problems regarding air pollutions and dusty hazes in cities arise from the lack of enough green spaces

Concerns surrounding plants, green spaces, and the protection of our natural environment are all very important issues for Iran. Many of the problems we have today, including the weather pollution in cities and dusty air arise from the lack of enough green spaces and flora. Green spaces can greatly improve the situation in our country. Fruit trees also have the advantage that they offer tasty fruits, specific to Iran. Our fruits-- different variety of fruits we have-- are different from the same fruits in other countries. As I have heard, our fruits are tastier and richer. Unfortunately, I heard fruit is also being imported now. Importing fruits from foreign countries is among harmful actions, and officials should urgently prevent this, except in cases of necessity. Overall, the matter of green spaces, trees, pastures and flora are extremely important in our country, even more important than some other countries; because in our country we have deserts and there is not enough rain or water resources. Climate varieties of our country are as such that we need to seriously preserve our flora.

Iran’s evolved into a house of wisdom, Wahhabi Al-Saud remain in ignorance: analyst

The Wahhabi House of Saud was nowhere to be seen in Tehran. For quite a while, informed Arab observers have pointed out that Iran, gradually, has evolved into an enlightened – albeit far from perfect – Dar-al-Hikma (house of wisdom) whereas the Wahhabi House of Saud and its satellites remain trapped in a centuries-old quagmire of Ahl-al-Jahiliyya (community of the ignorant).

7 achievements of praying from Ayatollah Khamenei's viewpoint

In Dua Abu Hamza al-Thumali, Imam Sajjad (a.s.) has been quoted as saying, “My Lord, it is not in Your Nature to order people to make requests and then to deny those requests. Indeed, You are very Generous when it comes to bestowing blessings on the servants of Your dominion.” It is not possible that You order Your servants to make requests from You, but You decide not to fulfill them. When Allah the Exalted orders us to make requests from Him, this means that He wants to give us what we want. There is a narration that says, “It is not the case that God opens the gate of gratitude for His servants and then closes the gate of increasing His blessings. And Allah is too generous to do that.”

The Palestinian people have the right to resist violation of international law, acts of aggression, war crimes, crimes against humanity, etc. by all means that are legitimate under the International law – which includes force; because the preamble of the Declaration of Human Rights refers to the right to rebel against tyranny. Some of the UNGA documents also refer to the right of resistance including armed resistance against such violations.
