He says currently 24 provinces across Iran are stricken with floods.
The official added that floodwaters have damaged 20,000 houses including 7,000 structure that should be reconstructed due to the extent of damage.

The Wafa news agency identified the victim as Hussein Kawarik from the village of Awarta that is located eight kilometers (five miles) from the city of Nablus in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Kawarik had received his injuries from live fire aimed at him by the Israeli forces manning a checkpoint in the town of Hawara near Nablus on Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported.
The Israeli military claimed that its forces “spotted a suspect approaching them at a military post,” and fired at him as he continued to approach them, hitting the Palestinian man.
Khaled, Kawarik’s brother, told WAFA that his brother died at the Rabin Medical Center in Tel Aviv, where he had been hospitalized.
His family stated Kawarik suffered from “psychiatric disturbances,” while Huwara mayor, Wajih Odeh, said that he was “mentally disabled.”
The Palestinian man’s death came just a day after a 16-year-old Palestinian died of injuries received at the hands of Israeli forces.
Amjad Abu Alya was shot in the chest by the Israel occupation forces during a military raid on the al-Mughair village, northeast of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Israeli forces have killed at least 54 Palestinians throughout the West Bank since late March.
Nozar Shafiei told Farhikhtegan Daily that there are three stages to the competition between the superior power and the rising power – China.
Shafiei said the relations between China and the US are at their worst and moving toward a confrontation over Taiwan.
The analyst added that China “has to” move toward Iran “which is not a choice” as China would need reliable allies to successfully complete the transition to the superior power.
He further stressed that China will never fight the US for the sake of Iran, stressing that it would also be wrong to believe that China is ready to subject itself to political and economic pressure just for the sake of Iran.
The best circumstance for Iran, he said, would be when powers such as China, the US and Russia are confronting each other, and Iran can use the “strategic needs of the powers” in line with its own national interests.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh says capabilities and technologies developed in the military sector overflow into other industries.
“Today, in the exchanges with other industrial groups and sectors, and with the aim of indigenizing technology and ending the monopolies and problems caused by the cruel sanctions of the enemies, the overflow of technologies and capabilities in the defense sector is helping other fields and industries and has led to the removal of many problems,” he said.
According to Hajizadeh, this has been made possible through the close cooperation of the aerospace industries and university elite in technology parks.
The general added that Iran is now stronger than ever, more than four decades after the Islamic revolution in the country.
“In the military sector, in different arenas including missiles, drones, etc., we now benefit from special superior capabilities that prevent enemies from realizing any of their illusions [concerning Iran],” he said.
He said even enemies of Iran now acknowledge its deterrent power and the fact that the country’s military industries are moving at the frontiers of technology.
Abbas Golroo made the comments in an interview with IRNA on France’s expression of readiness to mediate in the nuclear talks.
“Iran welcomes the move by any country that seeks to act as a mediator in the nuclear negotiations. But if France fulfills its own duty as a members of the nuclear negotiating parties, the talks will definitely produce results sooner,” he said.
Golroo further explained that the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, caused many problems in the process of its implementation.
He said, however, that the European signatories also failed to fulfill their owncommitments.
“The JCPOA obligations covered economic cooperation, facilitated trade, selling of oil and removal of all banking and insurance sanctions, none of which was resolved and the west also did not reap any benefits. Under the current circumstances, they also want to get things resolved so that they can solve their own problems in the field of energy,” he said.
The lawmaker added that Europe faces energy shortages in the winter due to the aftermath of the war in Ukraine and the continent’s tensions with Russia.
Russia says it is cutting gas supplies to Europe, raising the alarm over harsh winter ahead.
Striking a sarcastic tone, Abbas Moghtadaei, deputy head of the parliament’s foreign relations and national security commission, from the historical city of Isfahan, said in a tweet that Zarghami’s impeachment bid had been set in motion in order to make the minister more active and get him to improve his performance.
Addressing President Ebrahim Raisi, he wrote the bid was meant to “help you achieve a better performance in the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism.”
“Now, your minister will put his heart into the job and the people will hear more news about the minister’s activities,” he added.
Zarghami has been facing accusations of mismanaging the historical sites of Isfahan.

President Vladimir Putin has signed a new naval doctrine which cast the United States as Russia’s main rival and set out Russia’s global maritime ambitions for crucial areas such as the Arctic and in the Black Sea.
Speaking on Russia’s Navy Day in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg founded by Tsar Peter the Great, Putin praised Peter for making Russia a great sea power and increasing the global standing of the Russian state.
After inspecting the navy, Putin made a short speech in which he promised that what he touted as Russia’s unique Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, cautioning that Russia had the military clout to defeat any potential aggressors.
Shortly before the speech, he signed a new 55-page naval doctrine, which sets out the broad strategic aims of Russia’s navy, including its ambitions as a “great maritime power” which extend over the entire world.
The founder and owner of one of the largest Ukrainian agriculture companies, Nibulon, Oleksiy Vadatursky, and his wife were killed in a Russian attack on the Mykolaiv region, Governor Vitaliy Kim has said.
The governor added on Telegram that the couple were killed in their home in Mykolaiv city, which was shelled overnight and on Sunday morning.
Nibulon, with its headquarters in Mykolaiv, specialises in the production and export of wheat, barley and corn, and it has its own fleet and shipyard.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the death of Vadatursky as “a great loss for all of Ukraine”.
Zelenskyy announced in a statement the businessman had been in the process of building a modern grain market involving a network of transhipment terminals and elevators.
Authorities in Ukraine’s southern city of Mykolaiv say widespread Russian bombardments overnight killed at least one person as Moscow continues to pummel the sprawling front line.
“Mykolaiv was subjected to mass shelling today. Probably the strongest so far,” Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych wrote on Telegram.
“Powerful explosions were heard after one in the morning and around five in the morning,” Senkevych added.
The governor of the region – where Ukrainian forces are looking to launch a major counteroffensive – said according to preliminary information one person had been killed and two wounded in the attack.
Ukraine has denied carrying out a drone attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea fleet in annexed Crimea, that Russian officials said wounded six personnel.
Sergiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the coastal Odessa military region, dismissed claims that Ukraine was behind the attack as “sheer provocation”.
“Our liberation of Crimea from the occupiers will be carried out in another way and much more effectively,” he wrote on Telegram.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine’s harvest could be half its usual amount this year due to the Russian invasion.
“Ukrainian harvest this year is under the threat to be twice less,” suggesting half as much as usual, he wrote in English on Twitter.
“Our main goal — to prevent global food crisis caused by Russian invasion. Still grains find a way to be delivered alternatively,” he added.
Ukraine, a key global supplier of grains, has struggled to get its product to buyers due to a Russian naval blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.
The possibility of the first grain-exporting ship leaving Ukraine’s ports on Monday is high, a spokesperson for President Tayyip Erdogan has said.
Speaking in an interview with broadcaster Kanal 7, Ibrahim Kalin stated the joint coordination centre in Istanbul will probably complete the final work on the exporting routes very soon.
Russia and Ukraine are major global wheat suppliers, and the UN-brokered agreement they signed in Istanbul last week is intended both to ease the food crisis and reduce global grains prices that have risen since the Russian invasion.
The Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea was attacked by Ukraine, Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on his Telegram channel on Sunday morning. The attack took place on Russia’s Navy Day.
Six people were injured in a strike presumably carried out by a drone, he added.
Razvozhayev said that all celebrations have been canceled for safety reasons. Russia celebrates Navy Day on the last Sunday of July with military parades and other events across the country.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly voiced plans to take back Crimea.
Deputy Defense Minister Vladimir Gavrilov stated this month that the Black Sea Fleet stationed in Crimea poses “a permanent threat” to Ukraine.
Moreover, when asked about the use of US-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, Vadim Skibitsky, the spokesman for Ukraine’s military intelligence, told reporters this month that military sites in Crimea were “among the targets that must be struck in order to ensure the safety of our citizens, sites and Ukraine in general.”
Crimea has “become a hub for the movement of all equipment and weapons that come from the Russian Federation,” he added.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had officially invited independent experts from the UN and the Red Cross to investigate the shelling of a detention center in Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
The Friday bombing killed 50 prisoners, with dozens more wounded.
“In the interest of conducting an objective investigation of the strike on the detention center in Yelenovka, which led to the deaths of many Ukrainian prisoners of war, the Russian Federation has officially invited experts from the UN and the International Red Cross Committee,” the ministry said.
The facility in Yelenovka, south of Donetsk, housed hundreds of Ukrainian prisoners – mainly members of the “Azov” neo-Nazi militia who surrendered in Mariupol in May.
According to the Russian military’s earlier statement, the strike was conducted using US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers.
“All political, criminal and moral responsibility for the bloodbath against Ukrainians is borne personally by Volodymyr Zelensky, his criminal regime and Washington, which supports them,” Moscow stated.
The Ukrainian military released a statement on Friday, accusing Russian troops of shelling the town. Moscow destroyed the prison in order to pin the blame on Kiev, as well as to “hide the torture of prisoners and executions,” the statement alleged.
However, the DPR military suggested it was the Ukrainian authorities who had the reason to “deliberately” target the facility.
The republic’s head, Denis Pushilin, noted “Azov” members had been providing testimonies about possible war crimes by their commanders. The Kiev authorities also knew exactly where the “Azov” prisoners were being held, DPR militia spokesman Eduard Basurin told reporters.
Meanwhile, unlike the government in Kiev, Ukraine’s backers in Washington did not rush to blame the bombing on Moscow.
“We just don’t have enough information to speak intelligently about these very early reports,” John Kirby, spokesman for the US National Security Council, told reporters.
The Ukrainian government has decided on a mandatory evacuation of people in the region around the eastern city of Donetsk, scene of fierce fighting with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
In a late-night address, the Ukrainian president also stated the hundreds of thousands of people still in combat zones in the larger Donbas region needed to leave.
“The decision to leave should be taken at some point. The more people who leave Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will kill,” Zelensky added.
The interim commander of the Ukrainian military’s Azov Regiment has accused and pledged revenge against Moscow for the air raid on the prison in Olenivka.
“We will find them wherever they are,” Nikita Nadtochiy warned and that Ukraine would ensure a “fair punishment”.
In the video, Nadtochiy stated his forces considered the Friday attack as “an act of public execution” by Russia.
Both Russian and Ukrainian sides have alleged the attack on the prison was premeditated and intended to silence Ukrainian prisoners and to destroy evidence, including of possible atrocities.
Spain’s prime minister has expressed support for Bosnia to become a candidate for European Union membership amid fears that uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine could fuel instability in the ethnically torn Balkan nation that went through a devastating conflict in the 1990s.
Pedro Sanchez came to Sarajevo from Serbia, where he kicked off his tour of the Balkan region on Friday. Sanchez will also travel to Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania.
“During my meetings today I wanted to highlight the opportunity that would be for Bosnia and Herzegovina if the European Union would take its enlargement with a new sense of urgency,” Sanchez stated at a news conference.
Ukrainian officials have denounced a call by Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom for fighters from the Azov regiment to face a “humiliating” execution.
“Azov militants deserve execution, but death not by firing squad but by hanging, because they’re not real soldiers. They deserve a humiliating death,” Moscow’s diplomatic mission wrote on Twitter overnight.
Andriy Yermak, head of the office of the Ukrainian presidency, wrote on Telegram that in the 21st century “only savages and terrorists can talk at the diplomatic level about the fact that people deserve to be executed by hanging”.
Speaking in Firouzkouh where flooding has killed a number of people, Raisi said rescue workers are trying to get aid to people in the flood-hit regions at full capacity.
