Brigadier General Amir Hatami said thanks to martyr Fakhrizadeh’s extensive work in this domain, Iran now enjoys the necessary know-how and products in the field of nuclear defence as in other areas of the defence industry.
“He offered outstanding services in this domain,” said the defence chief.

The top commander noted Iran attaches special importance to defence against nuclear, chemical and biological weapons as the country faces serious threats by the enemy in that regard.
“Our enemy is the criminal US, which has carried out the only nuclear attack in the world,” said the top commander.

“Our enemies are those who supplied arms to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, whose regime conducted the most extensive chemical attacks against us, our troops, our people and even their own people,” he added.

“So, chemical, nuclear and biological defence is a very important and up-to-date issue in the defence ministry and in the Armed Forces,” added the general.

All civil servants will stay off their jobs unless deemed necessary to be present at workplace.
“As of Saturday, government institutions will be closed for a week unless their presence at workplace is deemed necessary by authorities,” said Jamshid Ansari, the head of the Administrative and Recruitment Affairs Organization.

“We urge everyone to seriously act upon this order and we want people to delay their administrative work for two weeks in order to help cut off the chain of the COVID-19 infection,” he said.

“Those who are present at work at the municipality are the ones offering urban services. Non-essential administrative departments will remain closed,” he said.

He also called on people to reduce travel within cities.

The new restriction comes as Iran remains under a partial lockdown, which began on November 21, 2020.

Under the plan, non-essential businesses remain closed and private vehicles are not allowed on the streets from 9 pm to 4 am.

Will Iran Respond to Its Scientist’s Killing Before Biden’s Inauguration?

By

At a time when it would be naïve to expect the United States’ number-one man (Trump) to act wisely, there are expectations that the next US president (Biden) would show more tolerance towards Iran in return for Iran showing tolerance (or as Iran’s Leader called it ‘heroic flexibility’) toward the US.

Under such circumstances, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seek to block any paths conducive to tolerance. The extremist Israeli regime has clearly announced a policy of blocking the diplomatic channel between Iran and the United States.

The Iranian parliament speaker said in his Friday message on the assassination of Fakhrizadeh that “the path to tolerance is now closed.” But is that limited to the few remaining months in office of the Rouhani administration?

Still the obstacle created by the assassination of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani has not been removed. And now, double-obstacles have emerged on the diplomatic path to resolving disputes between Iran and the US (or in better words, Iran and the West). And the obstacles of the 1953 Iranian coup and the 1979 Iran hostage crisis (in which the US Embassy in Tehran was captured by Iranian students and its staff members were held hostage for 444 days) are history.
Will Iran’s strategic patience foil the dark scheme engineered by Netanyahu, bin Salman and Pompeo?

The two months ahead will be determining ones for the future of Iran, the region and the world!

Fakhrizadeh accompanied by two bodyguard vehicles arrived in Absard town east of the capital Tehran at around 2 pm local time on Friday, November 27, 2020.

His car was stopped when fires were shot one kilometer past the entrance to the town near a garden known as Sarhang. Afterwards, a Nissan pickup loaded with lumber and explosives hidden underneath blew up.

After the explosion, the street was littered with lumber within a radius of 500 metres. The pylon next to the pickup truck was also damaged by the explosion. Then terrorists who had been waiting in ambush began firing at the scientist’s car from unidentified locations. They also gunned down one of Fakhrizadeh’s bodyguards who jumped to save the scientist.

However, Fakhrizadeh was wounded in the shootout and sustained severe injuries. After the firing died down, several terrorists fled the scene. Search is underway to spot their hideout in Damavand.

Immediately after the gunfight, Fakhrizadeh was taken to a nearby clinic before being medevacked to hospital, where died of the injuries.

US Outlaws Must Be Stopped Before Disaster: Iran’s Zarif

“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice—with serious indications of Israeli role—shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,” Zarif said in a tweet.

“Iran calls on the international community—and especially EU—to end their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror,” said Zarif.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the assassination, but the Israeli regime has a dark history of hiring hit men to assassinate nuclear scientists and intellectuals in Iran.

Four Iranian nuclear scientists were assassinated by the Israeli regime between 2010 and 2012. According to Western intelligence agencies, the acts of terror were carried out by Israeli agents, an accusation Israeli officials never denied.
