    Iran tops in registered international table tennis coaches: Official
    TEHRAN (Iran News) Speaking to IRNA on Tuesday, Mehrdad Ali-Qardashi pointed to Iran’s ranking in the coaching by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), saying that with a total of 1,105 coaches, the country could manage to achieve the first place in the world.
    He said that Iran currently has 1,001 active coaches at level-one, 86 coaches at level-two, and 18 coaches at level-three, whose details are available on the website of the ITTF.
    Iran’s exact share of the world’s total registered coaches is calculated as 15.36 percent, meaning that approximately every 6 to 7 international coaches registered on this list is an Iranian coach.
    According to him, Egypt and India are in the second and third places in the world’s table tennis coaching after Iran, contrary to a popular belief that China, Japan, and South Korea are among the top three.
    Ali-Qardashi attributed the Iran’s ranking to the improved scientific level of coaches, which resulted in Iranian teenagers and young adults to defeat the Paris Olympic title-holders.
    He reminded the words of the ITTF chief, a member of the International Olympic Committee and himself a world champion from Sweden, who during the meeting with the Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee praised Benyamin Faraji for defeating World and Olympics champion and world No. 1 Wang Chuqin at the 2024 Asian Table Tennis Championships.
    The head of Iran’s Table Tennis Federation underscored that such praises for a teenager from West Asia, who defeated the first and second world players from China, shows the importance of Iranian coaches.

    Indifference of Jihadi Movement May Encourage Enemy Opportunism
    TEHRAN (Iran News) Brigadier General Mohammad Zohraei made the remarks on Tuesday night during the 12th Jihadi Memory Night ceremony held at the Sheikh Saduq Hall in the shrine of Abdolazim Hosseini Shrine.
    Referring to what he described as the “civilization-building battle between truth and falsehood,” Zohraei said the role of the jihadi movement must be properly defined during this historical period. He described the movement as one of the spiritual achievements of the Islamic Revolution and emphasized its role in civilization-building efforts.
    He called the jihadi movement a modern technological innovation of the revolution and one of the spiritual outcomes of the “Second Step” of the revolution. Zohraei added that this capacity must be firmly rooted in its historical position, strengthening not only service delivery but also ideological discourse and public mobilization in favor of the Islamic Republic.
    The official described jihadi volunteers as the intermediary link between government efficiency and the public, stating that responsible and non-neutral positioning by jihadi groups in areas where they operate could help strengthen social cohesion and neutralize enemy efforts.
    Zohraei also called for expanding cultural activities among jihadi groups, saying that organizing “Memory Night” ceremonies serves as a spiritual covenant among volunteers while facilitating experience transfer and strengthening collective morale.
    He noted that jihadi groups have built a strong record in past years, particularly in poverty alleviation efforts, disaster response including floods and earthquakes, and during the global COVID-19 pandemic, when volunteer forces were among the first responders and among the last to leave affected areas after recovery operations.
    He recalled the role of volunteer forces during the coronavirus outbreak, saying that when the unknown virus spread across the world, thousands of volunteers were trained and deployed in various fields, including the preparation, washing, and burial of deceased victims, shouldering heavy responsibilities.
    Praising the late Ismail Ahmadi as the founder of the program, Zohraei said the deceased had served as a model of mobilization and popularity among jihadi groups through his cultural, media, and field activities. He added that continuing this path would deepen the country’s jihadi culture.
    Providing an overview of jihadi groups in Iran, Zohraei said about 62,000 jihadi groups are currently active nationwide, operating at different levels. Approximately half of these groups are mosque-based or locally focused and mainly serve their immediate communities without migration.
     
    He added that some groups are geographically mobile and operate by attracting public and institutional support, maintaining permanent manpower and specialized expertise in areas such as construction, culture, agriculture, and resistance economy in targeted regions. About 16 percent of the country’s jihadi groups—nearly 1,200 teams—maintain long-term presence in specific areas.
    Specialized groups are also active in fields such as medicine, veterinary services, education, and resistance economy, while more than 30,000 local groups provide public services under the “Faith-Based Service Movement.”
    Zohraei announced that eight underdeveloped provinces had been selected as targets for Nowruz holiday service programs from mid-Ramadan to April 4. Service areas have been identified in advance, and coordination with executive agencies has been conducted to secure materials and initial funding.
    He said jihadi volunteers can choose their preferred province and service field based on their capacity and willingness to ensure more targeted and effective operations during the holiday period.
    Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the ceremony, Zohraei said about 60,000 jihadi groups have registered and are active on the “Jihadi Atlas” platform.
    These groups operate in construction, cultural, medical, agricultural, educational, and energy projects in deprived regions and are increasingly moving toward specialized activities requiring professional certification.
    He said various development projects have been designed for jihadi teams. In agriculture, water supply projects for farmers have been implemented and have received positive public response. In poverty reduction programs, agreements have been signed with multiple institutions to support housing construction for disadvantaged populations.
    In the employment sector, jihadi groups have worked on establishing small family workshops and small-scale industries in urban and rural areas.
    Zohraei also noted the entry of volunteer groups into the energy sector, particularly solar power projects. After receiving specialized training, jihadi teams have constructed solar power plants in areas where solar energy could contribute to electricity generation.
    He emphasized that the movement toward specialized professional activities is strengthening, adding that volunteers are obtaining necessary certifications to take more solid steps in promoting the national jihadi service movement.
    Zohraei also noted that Iran’s 60,000 active jihadi groups provided significant assistance to the government during disasters such as floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting executive agencies in various operations.

    Iran Rejects U.S. Claims About Its Nuclear Program, Calling Them “Big Lies”
    TEHRAN (Iran News) Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei responded to statements by U.S. officials and Western media outlets on his official account on the social media platform X (social media platform).
    Baghaei wrote that professional liars specialize in creating “false realities,” adding that repeating a lie often enough can make it appear like the truth. He referenced the historical propaganda principle attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi-era German Minister of Information and advisor to Adolf Hitler, stating that the slogan “repeat a lie until it appears true” was widely used in propaganda.
    He further stated that this principle is now systematically employed by the U.S. government and its “war-mongering circles,” particularly the “genocidal regime of Israel,” to promote what he described as a malicious campaign of spreading false information against the Iranian nation.
    The spokesman emphasized that claims concerning Iran’s nuclear program, alleged intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties during the January unrest were nothing but repeated major falsehoods. He urged the public not to be deceived by such allegations.
    The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump, in his first official address titled “State of the Union” during his second presidential term, reiterated criticism of Iran.
    Trump claimed that Iran had developed missiles that could threaten Europe and eventually the United States. He also said that following what he called the “Midnight Hammer Operation,” Iran allegedly received warnings not to develop nuclear weapons or missiles, though he claimed Tehran continued such activities.
    The U.S. president further alleged that Iran was seeking to rebuild its nuclear program and pursuing “sinister goals.” Iran has consistently rejected such accusations.

    First VP Urges Export-Oriented Agricultural Production
    TEHRAN (Iran News) Aref made the remarks during the 64th meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization. Highlighting the organization’s achievements in agricultural research, he stated that ensuring the country’s food security is not merely a slogan, but the result of measures taken in recent years in the agricultural sector—an approach that now serves as a key strategy of the current government.
    Reviewing the challenges of the 1980s in agriculture, Aref recalled that at the time, the country’s strategy focused on increasing production and achieving self-sufficiency, particularly in essential commodities. He pointed to the wheat self-sufficiency celebration held in 2004 as an example. Today, he stressed, agricultural production must be planned with a realistic understanding of the country’s conditions and constraints.
    Aref underlined the key role of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization in achieving food security, noting that while the organization has made valuable contributions, the government expects more given the country’s academic and expert capacity. “Future agriculture must be smart, data-driven, and knowledge-based, while also making proper use of indigenous knowledge,” he said.
    Referring to the government’s regional production strategy—particularly in agriculture—Aref noted that Iran’s free trade agreement with member states of the Eurasian Economic Union presents a significant opportunity for agricultural exports. However, he said, realizing this potential requires higher productivity and improved quality of domestic products.
    He stressed the necessity of utilizing modern technologies, saying there is no alternative but to adopt and localize the latest advancements. “The country benefits from strong scientific capacity and a young workforce capable of producing the technologies needed in the agricultural sector,” he added. In this context, he called for reforming cultivation patterns with the cooperation and consent of farmers, emphasizing that water-intensive crops such as rice and watermelon should not be grown in water-scarce regions.
    Addressing climate change and declining water resources, Aref noted that such conditions had been predictable for years and that international warnings had long been issued. He urged the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization to adopt a problem-oriented approach and, in cooperation with universities and research centers, provide practical solutions to adapt Iran’s agriculture to environmental conditions.
    During the meeting, a report was presented on the organization’s activities, including seed production, cultivation pattern reform, applied research, adoption of modern technologies, private sector partnerships, and training programs for farmers.
     
    Board members also approved several measures, including the audit report for the year 1403 (2024–2025), the appointment of an auditor for the 1404 (2025–2026) fiscal year, the organization’s detailed budget, implementation of a comprehensive wastewater transfer project and construction of a treatment plant at the Isfahan Provincial Research Station, the establishment of solar power plants at research centers, the implementation of an agrivoltaic project in pistachio orchards, and revisions to national standards for nursery plant and mother garden health.
