وزير إيراني يأسف لـ"ضيق الأفق" ويجدد انتقاده لـ"قسوة النظام"
ضرغامي تعرض سابقا لانتقادات شديدة من المتشددين بعد شجبه ممارسات شرطة الأخلاق
دعا وزير السياحة الإيراني السلطات إلى مزيد من الانفتاح في المجال الاجتماعي وخصوصا بالنسبة للمرأة، في سياق الاحتجاجات التي أعقبت وفاة الشابة، مهسا أميني، حسب ما أفادت وسائل إعلام إيرانية الخميس.
وإثر اجتماع حكومي الأربعاء، ألمح وزير التراث الثقافي والسياحة عزت الله ضرغامي إلى حقيقة أن مزيد من النساء شوهدن مكشوفات الرأس في الأماكن العامة منذ بدء حركة الاحتجاج، في حين أن القانون يقضي بارتداء الحجاب منذ الثورة الإسلامية عام 1979.
ونقلت وكالة أنباء الطلبة الإيرانية (إسنا) وعدد من الصحف اليومية عن الوزير قوله "أنصح الرجل الذي يتصرف بقسوة" تجاه امرأة لا ترتدي الحجاب "أن يغضّ البصر إذا كان النظر إليها يثيره".
وأضاف "ضيق الأفق موجود للأسف في البلاد ولكن لم يعد بإمكاننا أن نكون قاسين على الناس"، وتابع "لتطوير السياحة وتحسين الحياة الاجتماعية، يجب فتح المجال، وتفهّم الناس وألا نكون صارمين معهم".
وكان ضرغامي قد تعرض لانتقادات شديدة من المحافظين المتشددين في تشرين الأول/أكتوبر بعد شجبه ممارسات شرطة الأخلاق المسؤولة عن الإشراف على ارتداء النساء الحجاب.
ونقلت وسائل الإعلام عن الوزير قوله في تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر الماضي "اليوم فتياتنا وطالباتنا يمشين في الشارع بلا حجاب. ماذا حدث؟".
من جهتها، قالت السلطة القضائية في 10 كانون الثاني/يناير إنها تريد تفعيل قانون ينصّ على عقوبات شديدة، مثل النفي، للنساء اللواتي لا يحترمن إلزامية وضع الحجاب.
تهزّ إيران احتجاجات منذ وفاة الشابة الكردية الإيرانية مهسا أميني (22 عاما) في 16 أيلول/سبتمبر، بعد أن أوقفتها "شرطة الأخلاق" في طهران بشبهة خرقها قواعد اللباس الصارمة التي تفرض خصوصا على النساء.
وتشير السلطات الإيرانية بشكل عام إلى الاحتجاجات على أنها "أعمال شغب" تشجعها دول ومنظمات معادية لإيران.

أوكرانيا: روسيا أطلقت أكثر من 30 صاروخًا وأسقطنا نصفها
إسقاط مجموعة مسيّرات هجومية إيرانية الصنع أطلقتها القوات الروسية من بحر آزوف بجنوب أوكرانيا.
شنّت القوات الروسية، صباح الخميس، هجوماً على أوكرانيا بـ"أكثر من 30 صاروخًا روسيًا" بعد ساعات على إسقاط سلاح الجو الأوكراني 24 مسيّرة هجومية إيرانية الصنع، حسبما أعلن الجيش.
وقال الناطق باسم الجيش يوري إيغنات: "أقلعت 6 قاذفات من طراز تو-95 من منطقة مورمانسك (الروسية) وأطلقت صواريخ. نتوقّع أكثر من 30 صاروخًا بدأ بعضها يظهر في مناطق مختلفة". وأُسقط 15 صاروخًا منها على الأقلّ.
وأشار حكّام مناطق إلى تشغيل أنظمة الدفاع المضادة للطائرات.
وكان سلاح الجو الأوكراني قد أعلن في وقت سابق إسقاط مجموعة مسيّرات هجومية إيرانية الصنع أطلقتها القوات الروسية من بحر آزوف بجنوب أوكرانيا.
وأفاد سلاح الجو الأوكراني في بيان على تليغرام: "أُطلقت طائرات بدون طيار من الساحل الشرقي لبحر آزوف. بحسب المعلومات الأولية، استخدم العدو 24 مسيّرة شاهد (إيرانية الصنع). دُمّرت جميعها".
ومنذ تشرين الأول/أكتوبر، شنت روسيا سلسلة من الهجمات الجوية ضد أوكرانيا واستهدفت بشكل أساسي منشآت للطاقة.
وأدت هذه الهجمات إلى شلّ شبكة الكهرباء ودفعت أوكرانيا لتعزيز أنظمة دفاعها الجوي بدعم من حلفاء كييف الغربيين.
ويأتي الهجوم، صباح الخميس، غداة تعهّد حلفاء أوكرانيا الغربيين، بما فيهم ألمانيا والولايات المتحدة، تزويد كييف بدبابات حديثة.
وعلى إثر إطلاق الصواريخ الروسية، وقع انفجار في العاصمة الأوكرانية كييف. وقال رئيس بلدية كييف فيتالي كليتشكو: "انفجار في كييف! ابقوا في الملاجئ!".
كما أعلن فيتالي كيم حاكم منطقة ميكولايف عبر تطبيق المراسلة تليغرام رصد صاروخين روسيين فوق المنطقة. وقال: "الصواريخ تحلق داخل الأراضي الأوكرانية. اثنان على الأقل (متجهان) إلى الشمال الغربي عبر منطقة ميكولايف".
وأطلقت أوكرانيا إنذارا من الغارات الجوية في معظم أنحاء البلاد، وحذرت السلطات في المناطق المختلفة من هجوم صاروخي محتمل. وطلب المسؤولون من السكان الاحتماء.
وأكد مسؤولون كبار لوكالة رويترز أن وحدات الدفاع الجوي تصدت للصواريخ الروسية.
وقالت شركة الكهرباء دي.تي.إي.كيه إنها تنفذ قطعا طارئا للطاقة الكهربائية في العاصمة كييف وبقية منطقة كييف، وكذلك منطقتا أوديسا ودنيبروبتروفسك بسبب خطر وقوع هجوم صاروخي.
وتستهدف روسيا البنية التحتية المهمة في أوكرانيا بضربات صاروخية وطائرات مسيرة منذ أكتوبر، مما تسبب في انقطاع التيار الكهربائي على نطاق واسع.
الدبابات الأميركية والألمانية أهداف روسية مشروعة
وفي السياق، قال رئيس لجنة الشؤون الدولية بمجلس الدوما الروسي، ليونيد سلوتسكي، إن كتيبة الدبابات الأميركية لن تساعد أوكرانيا على الاستيلاء على القرم أو تغييرِ مسار العملية الروسية الخاصة.
وأضاف سلوتسكي أن أي محاولة للاستيلاء على شبه جزيرة القرم ستلقى ردا قاسيا، حسب قوله.
كما أشار إلى أن جميع الدبابات الأميركية أو الألمانية التي اُعلن عن توريدها لكييف ستصبح أهدافا مشروعة للجيش الروسي.

A note from ENKS Media regarding statements attributed to the leader Muhammad Ismail
ARK News... In a note to him, the media of the Kurdish National Council, on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, said that the statements attributed to the leader, Muhammad Ismail, a member of the presidency of the Kurdish National Council in Syria, are unfounded.
The council's media said: "Some suspicious pages that impersonated the name and description of well-known Kurdish pages circulated statements attributed to Mr. Muhammad Ismail, a member of the presidency of the Kurdish National Council." He added, "In our website's communication with Mr. Muhammad Ismail, he denied these statements completely."
The official page of the Kurdish National Council in Syria website attached a link to the official statement of the leader, Muhammad Ismail, in addition to pictures of some of the false statements attributed to him.
A few days ago, the pages affiliated with the PYD administration published statements attributed to Dr. Abdul Hakim Bashar, a member of the political bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, and vice president of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, in addition to statements by Abdullah Kaddo, a member of the political body of the coalition, in an attempt to mislead public opinion, spreading rumors and untrue news in the Kurdish community.

Leader Muhammad Ismail: The Syrian issue is an international and regional issue and is greater than partial solutions and bilateral agreements between two parties
ARK News… The Turkish and Syrian rapprochement tops the street talk in the regions of Syrian Kurdistan, for fear of another invasion of the Kurdish regions under the pretext of the presence of PKK elements, similar to the handing over of the regions of Afrin, Girê Spî, and Serê Kaniyê, and the Syrian regime’s abandonment of those regions.
In addition to that, security meetings and meetings took place between the delegation of the Democratic Union Party administration on the one hand and the regime on the other. These meetings were described as positive understandings and agreements on several matters, according to what was reported by local media sites and channels in the region.
On this subject, our site had to clarify the position of the Kurdish National Council on those meetings and understandings, which will have an impact on the region, as Mr. Muhammad Ismail, a member of the presidency of the Kurdish Council, stated to our site:
“Regarding the meetings of SDF officials with the regime, there is no basis for consensus, with the presence of both Russia and America in the region, and the topics of discussion in the current circumstances are limited to only some specific and logistical issues, nothing more.”
Ismail added, “On the tripartite meeting in Moscow between the defense ministries of Turkey and the regime, under Russian supervision, and the attempts at normalization between Turkey and the regime, our view is summed up that the Syrian issue is an international and regional issue that is greater than partial solutions and bilateral agreements between two parties, which we believe are not in the interest of the Syrian people.”
“Ismail” believes that the best solution, in our view, is the implementation of international resolutions related to Syria, especially Resolution 2254, which all concerned parties agree on for a comprehensive political solution for Syria, which is in the interest of all parties, including the Syrian people.
“Ismail,” in his speech, stressed the importance of providing factors of stability in the region and removing the causes of tension, and the need for all parties, especially Turkey, to take into account the issue of distinguishing between the Kurdish people in Syria and their cause, and the militants who came to Syria, their practices and policies.
Ismail pointed out that in the meetings that took place in Moscow, each party has its own priorities and desires, what matters to the Turkish side is securing its borders in addition to the issue of refugees, and returning them to their homeland, which is about to hold presidential and parliamentary elections and there are transgressions between the Turkish parties in this field, adding that the tripartite meetings will not be able to provide a practical solution to it,
Because Turkey cannot return four million Syrian refugees at the present time and in the current circumstances, the regime is also not ready for that and to issue a general amnesty and return their property and other entitlements, and America is also present in the region and monitors the situation, and it objects to any military action because that Iit will further complicate the situation and does not serve the stability of the region, according to what you declare.
