keeping you up to date with world news every half hour on press tv. i think iran is a unique country and i'm supposed to award you with the beauties of my beloved country in my trips to the most prestine places in iran, a country i wholeheartedly feel proud of.

consider iran as a desert country because it's located on the dry belt of the earth. they don't have the right image of the beloved iran. undoubtedly major part of iran consists of vast and of course impressively beautiful deserts, but the fact is about 55% of iran consists of mountains and we can see that iran is a mountainous country where the albors and zagros are the most remarkable mountain ranges and in the unique country.

"dalbor's mountain range is very crucial as it houses the gorgeous mount damavand and the 40 million-year-old herkanian forests in the north, and the zagrose mountain range stands out in western iran due to its dense oak forests as well as numerous rivers and waterfalls.

this time i've traveled to a part of the zagros mountain range in delfon in loriston province, a region that enjoys ancient culture and art besides its unique nature and is home to passionate people who speak in lack. سنگا عین ورقه های the stones stick together like thin layers and they've created a very beautiful shape, but at the same time it involves a great deal of risk, look how beautiful it is, and of course dangerous, i have to be careful, باید

from the northwest to the south of the beloved iran in order earn their daily sustenance. they've created many stories at the heart of the tough mountains. they've memorized every line of the stories and have passed them down from generation to generation. they've told many stories at the heart of delfan since thousands of years ago. some people say delphon is a land that is under spell because many wars have broken out in this place along the tortuous paths and as local say the mysterious mountains in delhon were considered by the people in... the past as the best place to bury their valuables, and some local people believe that noah's ark landed in this region, but whether that claim is true or false, hearing them by the locals made the trip doubly interesting for me. for me, if there is a treasure in this place, it is undoubtedly the mesmerizing nature of

delfon, which has casted a spell on me with this beauty and had dragged me all the way here. "the red hills of delphon, along with the flowers, plants and purple and oak trees created the scenery in the spring that can be seen in few places in the beloved iran, but besides all the beauty and the generosity of nature, seeing the traces of destruction of mother nature by people ached my heart. zagros has a..." abundant flora, and if we're a little lucky, we can see rarely found plants that not everyone gets the chance to see in their lifetime, very lucky on this trip, این گل نایاب و این گیاه در حقیقت از خانواده this rare flower and in fact this

plant is member of the kala lili family, it is rarely found in iran, it is mostly spotted in the western zagros in scattered areas. in farsy, this black or i'd better say aborigen flower is called bahark or spring because it only blossoms in the spring. the flower has very bad odor. the locals call the plant or small raven. it has an eye pleasing metallic color. nature is a symbol of god's beauty and elegance. it's always beautiful. way or another in any shape it is, but mountains are always glorious within nature and have been especially attractive for nature lovers, usually high individual mountains like damovand or sabalon are elegantly outstanding

compared to mountain ranges, but here in loristan's delfon, there are two mountain ranges named the greater and lesser mehhrab mountain ranges that are undoubtedly as... gorgeous as individual mountains, i had planned to travel a part of the lesser methob on this trip, the mountain range

are long and unique, but the mountain range behind me is divided into two parts, the lesser and greater mehhrab. my goal in this trip is to go to the lesser mehrab behind me. the name mehrab is derived from two words: mehr meaning kindness and of meaning water in persian, but in a local dialect they call it miro, some researchers believe the combination of the two words denotes methorism, and some others say because of the high altitude of mehrab and the water top

close to the sun, it is called mehhrab meaning the water that's close to the sun, but the word the locals used to call it, namely miro, refers: since the mountain has many springs, it distributes the water from the springs and

most of the people in iran know little about the numerous beauties in their homeland, while the beloved iran is ranked fifth in the world in terms of natural tourism attractions and is ranked 12th in terms of cultural heritage.

the weather was very unstable and we were expecting the showers any moment, but i was happy about it because nature had witnessed low precipitation for several months and the drout was very dangerous for the farmers as well as the flora and fauna, but what got me worried

can be lethal, the clouds are coming towards us, i have to find a safe place to pitch my tent. i shouldn't be a high altitude, and i should stay away from tall trees. one of the most crucial points for the time there's lightning in the mountain is that we should go to lower areas and stay away from tall trees. we need to stay close to small trees and we have to put our phones on flight mode. we have to keep metal objects like pickaxes for climbing far from us. and immediately move to safe area. i don't have much time, so

i have immediately choose my camping area حرکت بکنیم. من وقت زیادی ندارم و هرچی سریتر باید محل کمپمو انتخاب بکنم. among other points, any nature traveler has to bear in mind is that they have to use covered areas like houses or huts as shelters. and they should stay away from rivers or springs at the time of lightning, because water is a conductor and can move electricity for a long distance. what's more, at that time we have to keep ropes and wet objects as well as metals like bikes, pickaxes and shovels away from us, and if we're in a roofed place, we shouldn't leave that place within half an hour after hearing the sound of the last lightning. i quickly climbed down the

mountain and camped in safe place where i wasn't exposed to lightning or flood.

billion star hotel and i'm honored to be under this sky in this majestic night and no city can you see the sky at night like this, i'm going to get some rest in this fresh nature, one of the most beautiful parts of my trip and nature is the sky at night and i'm under the stars studded sky and the beloved. stan province, better bring my shoes inside, because if leave my shoes outside, definitely an animal might take one of them and i have to hop all the way home. let me put it in the cover. that's it, my legs are very tired. they're killing me. always clip the nails of my toes three or four days before venturing

out into nature. one of the most important points for mountaineers and those want to enjoy traveling nature, in steep tracks and mountains is to clip their nails or their toes three or four days before their trip, because long toe nails put lot of pressure on your feet and your shoes and socks. it tears your socks and your shoes will become painful and they might even fall off. even if they don't fall off, they become so painful that you can't easily walk. but my legs are just tired because i've clipped my toenails three or four days earlier and they don't bother me.

and here is my sleeping bag, i'll turn off the headlight, but i'll put it within reach because it's very important to have headlight inside the tent at night, because if hear any noise from outside, i can immediately turn it to see what's going on out there, and here's my pillow, my inflatable pillow, i think it's a little overinflated, oops, released too much air. it's okay, in my trips in nature, i always try to use light objects that require little space that are at the same time efficient, for example, i use inflatable pillow because you could make it compact and it's very useful, but but many truckers usually put their clothes inside their bags and use that as pillow so they don't get a good night sleep and complain about their

neck ache and consequently they don't feel good the next day that might hurt your neck, the best option. just have a good inflatable pillow and a warm feather filled sleeping bag so you can sleep comfortably at night. i don't need this anymore and i'd better take it off because my sleeping bag is warm. i've chosen a good sleeping bag. you have to take the spring seriously. the temperatures might suddenly fall seven or eight degrees. if you don't sleep well at night, you won't have a good day the next day. و کم بشه و وقتی که اگر آدم شب خوب نخوابه.

for muslims across the world, aid al-fitr, which marks one month of obedience to god in the holy fasting month of ramadan, is a special feast. muslims feel festive and proud for their servitude to god. ramadan is called the month of blessings. out of respect for the holy month, muslims put aside their differences and hostilities, and forard. a stronger unity, different cities and villages in iran have their own traditions for ramadan

which date back to centuries. get a glimpse of it in this documentary on press tv. كلياتها منزوعه نهب واللي كل شيء فيها ماخله غير البخايا الحديد يعني اللي مبين وحروه مشان يغطوا على زرائم شو الزمبه اللي ارتكبناها شعب فلسطين شو الذبها نكفينا 60 سنه مجرين.

they say the darkest hour is just before dawn, but not here in yarm. the rivers of mesopotamia are going through their most critical times. with the deaths of the tigris and the euphrades, what will the future hold for the people of iraq and syria?

will the aras river end up the way the tigris and the euphretes did? the future for millions of people is tied to the freedom of captive called water. i believe that uh working together we can make history.

iran and turkmenistan do not consider

themselves just. but relatives throughout ages they have bolstered their ties from culture economy and science and technology and a myriad other fields, yet they have set this stage for bolder steps in order to faster vibrant trade ecosystem between the two nations and make the region an energy. iranian entrepreneurs, officials and business people have held an exhibition in the land of their relatives to pave the path for greater synergy. watch this documentary to catch a glimpse of the neighborly ties.
