The senior politician declared his bid for presidency in a statement on April 25, 2021.

In the statement, he vowed to become the “voice of the voiceless” including those “suppressed in the 2017-18 protests”, the victims of the Ukrainian plane crash, and all the Iranians who have been “marginalized” and “deprived” of their rights.

He also vowed that he will not let the Islamic Republic impose its favourite way of life on the Iranian people.

Tajzadeh, a deputy interior minister and presidential advisor during the presidency of Mohammad Khatami, was imprisoned at Evin Prison from 2009 until 2016.

He was convicted of “assembly and collusion against national security” and “propaganda against the regime”, sentenced to 6 years in prison and a 10-year ban on political and press activities by Branch 15 of the Tehran Islamic Revolutionary Court.

Observers do not expect Tajzadeh to be qualified by the Guardian Council, which vets the presidential candidates.

The Shahrdari Gorgan team was 3 scores behind their rivals in the fourth final match of the Iranian Basketball Super League when the American player Perry Petty scored the equalizer in the last moment with his buzzer beater only to give his team the chance to win and secure the championship title in extra time.

It was a breathtaking, tough game where Shahrdari Gorgan finally won 110-103 in extra time and became champions with an overall score of 3-1.

The video of Petty’s buzzer beater was even tweeted by US Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley, who praised the American player’s “extraordinary” shot and congratulated him and his team on their championship.

Following the Saturday night’s match, hundreds of people in the northern Iranian city of Gorgan poured into streets to celebrate their championship.

They had the chance to win the title in 2019-2020 tournament, but the league was left unfinished over the pandemic, even though Shahrdari Gorgan was the top team of the tournament.

Alireza Raisi said spring is the season when viruses mutate, and it is totally possible that it mutates in Iran as well.

He underlined currently different strains of the vaccine are threatening the nation.

“We should take the British strain of the virus seriously. But another important point we are facing is the Indian mutated version of coronavirus which can take a much higher toll, even higher than the British and South African strains,” said Raisi, the spokesman for Iran’s National Coronavirus Headquarters.

“[Residents in] provinces located along [Iran’s] eastern borders next to Pakistan and Afghanistan should be more careful and strictly observe health protocols. Accordingly, certain instructions have been communicated to provincial governors,” the spokesman added.

“The Zionists think they can constantly target the Syrian soil, and make mischievous moves in various places and the seas, and not receive any response,” General Baqeri said on Sunday.

He pointed to the “moves made in the past few days” and “future moves that will endanger their interests”, and said these will bring Israelis to their senses.

General Baqeri said Iran does not know who was behind the recent incidents (attacks on Israeli-owned ships and an area near Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility), and is not going to declare anything about them.

“However, the Resistance Front gives a serious response to the Zionists,” he added.

He also warned that should the Zionist regime does not stop its acts of mischief, it is not clear how Iran will respond, but Israel will not remain calm.

In a tweet, Mohammad Javad Zarif said COVID-19 patients in Iran are suffering due to Washington’s sanctions on drugs and medical equipment.

He added Palestinians are also having a hard time dealing with the pandemic while the US has a vaccine surplus.

“Many have been left to fend for themselves, whether due to sanctions and Medical Terrorism against Iranians, or out of malice toward Palestinians,” wrote Zarif.

“US has a vaccine surplus,” Zarif said, using the hashtag “hoarding” in his tweet.

Zarif also called for an international inoculation program to tackle the pandemic.

“Global COVID-19 pandemic should’ve had a global vaccination response,” he said.

Many Iranian coronavirus patients are struggling to cope with the disease due to Washington’s sanctions on medical items and medicines.

Iran has, time and again, lambasted the US for its “medical terrorism,” dismissing the sanctions as cruel and inhuman.
