COVID in Iran

Mansour Jafari Namin described the issue as worrying and called for efforts to find a solution to the problem.

Jafari Namin added that the government spends huge sums of money on training physicians with specialties, but their immigration causes all these amounts to evaporate.

He described the migration of doctors as the drainage of precious assets from Iran.

Jafari Namin stressed that the root-cause of this issue should be found and the problem must be resolved fundamentally by the government and officials.

According to the director of Iran’s Medical Council, some of the doctors and specialists have gone to Iran’s neighbors.

He voiced concern that the day could come when Iranians will go to those countries to seek high quality medical services.

Jafari Namin declined to give exact details and figures but said the number of specialists seeking to go abroad is more than that of general doctors.

In other comments, Jafari Nemin also said young people’s reluctance to study in some medical fields is worrying, adding that with the number of migrant specialists surging, it will become way more difficult for people to find good medical services.

He described the trust of patients and society in physicians as a source of pride and an asset.

Jafari Nemin added, “We should not shatter or distort people’s trust in the medical field.”

Daughter of ‘Putin’s brain’ killed in car explosion

“I stress that Ukraine certainly had nothing to do with it,” the Ukrainian edition Liga.net quoted him as saying on Sunday.

Earlier, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated if suspicions that Ukraine was involved in Daria Dugina’s death are confirmed, then it will point at Kiev’s policy of state terrorism.

“If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed – and this theory was voiced by the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin – it should be checked by competent authorities, then we need to talk about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the Kiev regime,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

Earlier on Sunday, Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of murder after Daria Dugina, the 29-year-old daughter of Russian political philosopher and analyst Alexander Dugin, was killed in a car accident in the Moscow region on Saturday night.

According to investigators, an explosive device was planted under the bottom of a Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle Daria was driving. The car was traveling at full speed when it exploded in the Odintsovsky District in the Moscow region at about 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Saturday.

At present, investigators are inspecting the scene of the accident. The burnt car, which was subsequently removed to specialized parking, has been examined by an explosives specialist. Investigators have seized a video recording from the car and the security services were ordered to identify those involved and witnesses.

In addition, expert examinations are being undertaken, including biological, genetic, physical, chemical and explosive forensic examinations.

Russian Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykin has instructed the relevant authorities to transfer the criminal case on the murder of Dugina to the Main Investigation Department for a further comprehensive and objective investigation.

Daria Dugina was born in Moscow in 1992. She graduated from the Philosophy department of the Moscow State University and worked as political analyst and journalist. Like her father Alexander, Daria was a proponent of traditionalist beliefs and supported Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. In July, she was included in UK sanctions lists. Dugin himself was sanctioned by the EU, US and Canada in 2014 and 2015.

Foulede Mobarakeh

Hojjatollah Firouzi, who sits on the parliament’s Industries and Mines Commission, says the report into Foulade Mobarakeh’s operations was released after the MPs announced the results of their investigations into the company and its officials offered their defense.

Firouzi said the report has been sent to the judiciary, which will advance its own independent investigation.

The lawmaker added that the MPs have already presented their exhibits on the case to the judiciary and it would be its responsibility to confirm if any offences took place.

Firouzi also declined to comment on the exact figure of the alleged offenses by Foulade Mobarakeh officials.

Reports earlier put the figure at around three billion dollars.

Media reports also said the offenses include selling steel at a hugely discounted price to a number of companies, who then sold the product at the market price.

Foulade Mobarakeh is one of the largest steel producers in Iran with an estimated annual output of 7.2 million metric tons.

Water crisis in Iran

The capacity of the key dam is 36 million cubic meters of waters, but it currently has only 1.6 million due to several successive years of drought caused by low rainfall and what many describe as the mismanagement of water resources in industrial and agricultural sectors as well as in households.

In recent days, people in Hamedan have faced a serious challenge of drinking water supply, with the local officials announcing water rationing in the province.

Mohammad Zarouri, an official with the local water reservoirs department, told Tasnim News Agency that the reserve of Ekbatan Dam “was not in a good condition,” adding that local authorities were forced to ration and cut off water during certain hours of the day.

He attributed the crisis to high consumption by the citizens and the heatwave.

Mohammad Gharazi made the comments in an interview with ILNA just as Iran, the US and the P4+1 group of countries – Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany- seem to be on the verge of reviving the nuclear accord, JCPOA.

He added that trade essentially means buying the better product at a lower price.

He said this means no political or military power should intervene in trade.

Gharazi added that any intervention in trade, which is rooted in Iran’s past circumstances, will be damaging to the national economy and should be avoided.

The former minister added that such interventions that began with the Russian and British invasions of Iran some 100 years ago have led to devaluation of Rial against the dollar and have created a competition between the trade and production sectors, damaging the latter.

Gharazi called on the government to introduce a single-rate foreign currency to help foreign trade and prevent corruption caused by multiple rates of the US dollar and other foreign currencies.
