Vice President for Women and Family Affairs Masoumeh Ebtekar described women as a key ingredient of the country’s social assets.

“The Islamic Revolution set the stage for the presence of women in different social arenas unlike what certain people thought that the Islamic Republic of Iran would restrict or isolate women, something that never happened,” she noted.

The vice president underlined Iranian women both handled their duties at home as mothers and wives and at the same time made their presence felt in different social arenas.

“Forty-one years on since the Islamic Revolution, we are seeing women making progress fast on the scientific front,” she added.

Ebtekar said these achievements could be due to proper planning by the Iranian government; nevertheless, she stressed, Iranian women’s perseverance and hope for future have definitely contributed to their progress.

Iran, Iraq Agree on Two Electricity Contracts

The heads of the Iranian and Armenian delegations that exchanged views on these issues described their discussions as constructive.

“In their meeting today, the two Iranian and Armenian delegations discussed the expansion of long-term relations in the domain of energy and reached agreement on key issues,” said Amir-Hossein Zamaninia, Iran’s deputy oil minister for international and commercial affairs, who led the Iranian delegation.

“The two sides decided to put off until a future time discussions on certain technical issues pertaining to the export of gas along with the gas-electricity barter deal,” said the Iranian official.

“After those issues are finalized, a long-term agreement will be signed in that regard,” he added following his meeting with the Armenian delegation.

Head of the Armenian delegation Hakob Vardanyan, in turn, said his country had been discussing gas exports and the extension of a gas barter deal with Iran for one and a half years, describing his talks with the Iranian delegation as very constructive.

He said the two sides reached agreement on some of the fundamental issues.

Back in 2004, Tehran and Yerevan signed a natural gas and electricity barter agreement under which Iran’s exported gas would be used as fuel for power stations in Armenia and, in return, Iran would import electricity from Armenia.

Armenia began importing natural gas form Iran in mid-2009.

Mohammad Javad Zarif made the comment in an address to the Conference on the History of Iran’s Foreign Relations held on Sunday for the fourth year in a row by the Centre for Political and International Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In his remarks at the virtual meeting, Zarif said the history of Iran’s foreign relations is a treasure trove of bitter and sweet events which make up part of Iranians’ territorial and national identity as well as collective memories, and mirrors the struggles, sacrifices and resistance of the Iranian nation against foreign aggression throughout centuries.

“Iran has always taken action, and these actions have been influenced by Iran’s understanding of itself and others’ understanding of the international climate, and by objectives and tools of foreign policy in each epoch in history,” said Zarif at the conference attended by a host of top researchers and experts in the field of foreign relations history.

The foreign minister also described as “very important” the study of the history of Iran’s ties with other Asian countries, which, together with Iran, have always experienced the same historical fate.

The 2003 earthquake caused the collapse of various sections of the Governor’s Quarters and the upper parts of the defence walls. Notwithstanding, much of the lost fabric was from modern restorations.

The materials found at the older levels are well preserved and have now been revealed. The traditional culture for architecture and the city plan have also been preserved, including the continuity in workmanship and know-how for earthen architecture construction.

Following the earthquake, a team of experts coordinated by the UNESCO Tehran Cluster Office and Iran’s Cultural Heritage Organization prepared a Comprehensive Management Plan, 2008-2017, which covers the World Heritage property and was developed through a process involving the local authorities of the County, the five Districts and the municipalities of Bam and Baravat.

The new urban master plan for the reconstruction of the City of Bam, prepared in 2004, respects the original street pattern.

What follows are new photos of the citadel, 17 years after the tragic earthquake which killed thousands of people:

Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said in a televised interview that the ministry of health, which is technically charged with handling health issues, takes different issue into consideration when providing the COVID-19 vaccine.

“The health ministry has precisely categorized people, and the first batch to receive the vaccine numbers 1.8 million,” he added.

“They include the elderly with underlying diseases,” the minister said.

“The second group [to receive the vaccine] are medical personnel and teams who have the most number of contacts with patients,” the minister highlighted.

The minister said Iran will continue to buy foreign vaccines until one is developed in the country.
