Iran\'s reformist presidential candidate Mohammad-Reza Aref has stressed the need for facilitating both domestic and foreign investment in the country, vowing to slash unemployment.
In his televised speech on Wednesday night, Aref said, if elected, his administration would give assurances to Iranian investors and redirect people\'s money away from brokers and gold and foreign currency exchange markets to the country\'s industries.
He also pledged measures to encourage foreign investment. \"Unfortunately the rate of foreign investment growth in Iran is below the international average and we are having an unfavorable situation,\" he said.
Aref criticized the \"unacceptable\" rate of unemployment, especially among the country\'s university graduates, and promised to create over one million jobs annually.
He said he would try to achieve the figure by boosting tourism, which he said would provide an annual 200,000 job opportunities, besides expanding the information and communications technology industry as well as the country\'s lucrative energy sector.
\"We are planning to keep the added-value of energy products at home. We should try not to sell crude oil or natural gas,\" he stated.
Aref also highlighted Iran\'s unique geopolitical situation and thus the opportunity for the country to become a regional hub in various fields, such as commerce, communications and goods transit.
This will improve the country\'s economy and help the country\'s national security, the presidential candidate pointed out.
Aref is vying against Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Secretary of Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei, President of the Center for Strategic Research of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, lawmaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili, former Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election and this year\'s election is scheduled for June 14.

Iranian presidential candidate, Mohsen Rezaei, says if elected, he would minimize the role of the government in running economic activities and create a multicultural economy independent of oil money.
He criticized the countries oil-dependent economy as the root of all problems faced by different administrations in the past decade. The secretary of Iran\'s Expediency Council also stated that his economic \"revolution\" would consist of such components as facilitating tourism, expanding trade, stepping up production in various fields, and exporting non-oil products.
Rezaei said he plans to widely install \"mobile refineries\" in different provinces, especially in border areas, and sell their products to make up for nearly one million barrels of crude oil which Iran has not been able to sell due to Western sanctions

Remarkably little is known about great white sharks, but they are similar to humans in a lot of ways - they give birth to live young, maintain a higher body temperature than their surroundings and they are apex predators. There are also many misconceptions about these sharks: people think they don\'t get cancer and that they reside mainly in shallow waters near beaches. In this video I summarize some of the most interesting things I learned about sharks on my cage diving adventure.
Special thanks to Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions for making this trip possible: http://bit.ly/rodneyfox
Thanks also to Tourism South Australia for facilitating the trip: http://bit.ly/1aq9MgV
Chris Cassella or C² as he is known after this trip was a shark spotter extraordinaire. He also took some of the best shark footage in this video. It was his idea to go on this expedition, which was definitely a once in a lifetime experience, so I am in his debt. Chris, I look forward to going on more great adventures with you.

The US Homeland Security Chief is concerned about Americans who have fought in Syria and are now back home.
Jeh Johnson says the issue has become an issue of homeland security. He added that law enforcement and security forces across the world are focused on foreign nationals Heading to Syria including those from the US, Canada and Europe. Western officials are concerned that their nationals fighting the Syrian government become even more radical after joining other insurgents. US authorities have confirmed that militants from some fifty countries are in Syria fighting the government there. Damascus says some western and regional countries are facilitating insurgent infiltration into the country.

Rouhani said Iran and Pakistan also believe that regional issues can be resolved through dialogue. He said Iran would reciprocate any goodwill gesture. Also in his remarks, Rouhani referred to Friday’s missile attacks on an Iranian tanker in the Red Sea near the Saudi port city of Jeddah. He said it would be an absolute mistake for a country to think that it can create instability in the region, but receives no response. For his part, the Pakistani premier said his trip to Tehran is aimed at facilitating talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
