Iran Uses Cell Therapy to Treat Coronavirus Patients

Iran Uses Cell Therapy to Treat Coronavirus Patients

The Celltech Pharmed firm carried out the procedure on 46 patients in several phases.

Mohammad-Hossein Ziraksaz, the CEO of the company, says it began cell therapy treatment on COVID-19 patients since the early days of the outbreak of the virus in Iran.

“As of late February, 2020, we began to conduct cell injections, so that our colleagues were working and producing cells for hospitals throughout New Year holidays,” he said.

“We found out that the US issued the first permit for cell therapy 75 days after we had begun our work,” he added.

He said several other plans are also underway to help treat coronavirus patients.
The top manager added his company was also involved in some prevention activities alongside its treatment work.

“Around 2.5 million masks and pieces of medical equipment have been produced at several companies … and distributed on markets, and the trend goes on,” he noted.
He added Iran ranks 7th in the world when it comes to the stem cell science.
Ziraksaz noted knowledge-based companies stand read to commercialize their know-how and turn it into products.

In cell therapy, he said, living cells are transplanted from the individual himself/herself or another healthy person with the aim of rebuilding the damaged tissue.

He said cells are “powerful factories” which can have therapeutic effects through different methods.

According to the top manager, cell therapy was used before the coronavirus outbreak to treat a whole range of conditions including heart diseases, knee arthritis, wrinkles, etc.

As for the application of cell therapy for coronavirus treatment, he said, several stages of clinical studies have been done with satisfactory results.

Iran Condemns Continued Insults in France to Prophet Muhammad

Iran Condemns Canada’s Human Rights Resolution

In a statement released on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Khatibzadeh vehemently condemned any offensive action against or disrespect for the divine messengers of God, particularly the seal of the prophets, the highly-revered prophet of Islam.

Deploring the rude continuation of actions in France that have been offensive to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the spokesman bemoaned the fact that such insulting moves have received support from the French officials in some cases.

“Undoubtedly, the unacceptable and violent moves and measures of a few extremists deriving from a radical and deviant ideology in the Islamic world, whose holders are interestingly among the political partners close to the West and the US, could by no means justify an insult to and disrespect for the celestial figure revered by 1.8 billion Muslims around the world,” Khatibzadeh added.

“There is no doubt that the unjustifiable stance adopted by the French officials is not the appropriate and prudent response to extremism and violence that is condemned itself, and would further promote hatred,” the Iranian diplomat stated.

He also strongly condemned the “suspicious and deplorable” moves by a few “extremist anti-Islam currents” that have desecrated holy Quran in a number of European countries.

The spokesperson finally expressed Iran’s support for the Muslim countries’ stances in condemnation of such moves, and denounced any insult to the Islamic values and Muslim beliefs as unacceptable and rejected.

Forex Trading vs Stocks Trading | What You Need to Know

Forex Trading vs Stocks Trading What You Need to Know

Stock-trading permits speculations in the value of most popular assets like penny stocks and blue-chip stocks, which have the opposite value. To trade in shares, go for shares in well-established companies with large capitalization. Such shares are promising and may pay handsomely in the long run.

On the other hand, the foreign exchange market is a sizable market globally with the highest liquidity rate. This market has endless amounts of both minor, exotic, and major currency pairs that traders trade-in. The famous major currency pairs that trade in the forex market include USD/JPY and GBP USD.

A forex dealer may utilize pips to facilitate fluctuations of prices as they participate in forex to determine the market’s movement. It can be challenging to identify which assets to invest and which markets to trade.

This article takes a deeper approach in explaining the “forex vs stocks” relationship while explaining whether forex trading is better than stocks-trading or vice versa. Also, it explores differences at the same time investigating whether forex investment is a good idea. Read on to learn more about forex stocks.

Is Forex Trading Better Than Stocks markets?

Keeping all relevant considerations in mind, no trading is better than the other. Whether you choose to invest in forex trading or venture into stocks depends on your trading goals, personality type, and how you can tolerate risk. If your trading objective is to make frequent but small profits from price fluctuations based on short-term strategies, mostly applied by short term traders, then forex trading is better for you.

On the other hand, if your trading goal is to purchase and hold on to an asset for a long-term approach, then choose stock-trading since it is not only safe and well regulated but will also yield massive returns in the end, if your stock succeeds. Both markets are lucrative and require different trading strategies with varying levels of patience.

What is the Difference Between Forex and Stocks?

The main difference between forex and the other markets is obviously what one is trading. The forex market specializes in buying and selling currencies. On the other hand, the stock market trades shares, which are ownership units of a company. As you choose which assets to invest in, you should consider the following differences between the two markets.

Trading strategies

The wealth of strategies and resources is another critical difference between forex and stocks. Mainly, strategies in forex focus on short-term profits. Since stocks focus on long term positions, focused strategies are less common in their market. The advantage of wealth strategies and resources, together with forex trading tips, results in the main question, is forex easier than stocks?

Volatility

Volatility measures the likelihood of prices in the market to fluctuate. In markets with high volatility, prices tend to change quickly, contrary to markets with low volatility where prices fluctuate slowly. Since so many people deal in forex, prices can vary drastically; thus, this market is highly volatile. As you begin trading on forex, please pay attention to current political, social, and economic changes as they significantly affect the price.

Contrary to the forex market, stock market prices are relatively stable. Traders can easily track prices with time. However, this market still experiences periods of volatility since it is sensitive to domestic politics. This was seen in March 2018 when the Dow Jones fell significantly when American companies were in trade tensions with countries like China.

Liquidity

Liquidity is how easy a financial instrument can be sold or bought in the market. It is a vital aspect to consider since the higher the trading volume, the higher the money that flows in the market. It is, therefore, easy to find somebody to take your position on the other end. Since forex is widely known globally, many people participate, making it very liquid with massive turnovers. However, market volatility fluctuates in the day’s cause, especially when distinct sessions open and close.

As much as you can easily access shares and trade them, the stock market has fewer trades in a day. Only popular stocks like Facebook and Apple, which are on the S&P 500 index, are highly liquid since there are always willing sellers and buyers. Immediately you deviate from blue chips; you experience low liquidity as there are fewer buyers and sellers in the market.

Margin rates

Leverage, also called trading on margin, is an important consideration when weighing forex to stocks. Opening a CFD trading account allows traders to place deposits, giving them excellent trade exposure on both stock and forex and increasing their profits.

Generally, the forex market gives low margin rates of about 3.3%. On the other hand, the stock market offers 20% margin rates, which protects traders from huge losses in case of unsuccessful trades.

Assets volume

There is a volume of assets to deal with forex. As much as there are endless share opportunities in the market, it is not close to the forex volume of about $ 5 billion daily. There are thousands of shares worldwide to trade on. However, more shares in the market are never an advantage since traders may opt for less reliable forex pairs that have been in the market for longer than choosing between new, existing, and upcoming shares to trade on.

Trading hours in the market

Market trading hours are essential as they influence the time you monitor and trade. Since the forex market is global, one can trade in five days of the week and 24 hours a day. As much as it gives you ample time to trade, there are associated risks, especially when you are not present to monitor market behavior. An excellent time to participate in forex is during the active hours of the market, which starts immediately after two sessions overlap.

Share trading, on the other hand, is quite different. Stock-trading is mainly limited to only opening hours. Opening hours depend on the stock exchange that shares are listed. However, this market still offers extended hours, where even on a closed market, traders can act quickly on the current news.

Is investing in forex a good idea?

Initially, the idea to invest in forex was left to professionals and well-endorsed investors. However, with time, this market opens to average investors by presenting an opportunity to utilize the movements in exchange rates.

Investing in forex is a good idea because it is easily accessible and time flexible. You can start with low amounts and slowly accumulate them as you trade. Also, you can easily create an account using your laptop and start trading. Since the market operates 24 hours a day, it is perfect and can be accessed anytime you are free.

Every investor looks at the profitability rate of a market before investing. This market is very profitable as you can multiply your initial investment up to ten times in one night. Forex is highly liquid, making it a good investment idea. Also, everyone trading in this market is equal, creating a fairground. As you choose to make investments, you should definitely consider forex trading.

What are forex stocks?

The stock market allows traders to trade both local and stocks from other countries. Forex stocks-trading presents an opportunity for traders to venture into both forex trading and stocks. With the right strategies, investors can make huge profits from forex stocks, which are mainly the purchase and sell of currency and the unit of ownership in a company.

I hope this article was helpful and clear in both forex and stocks-trading. Feel free to share it on social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter. Educate your friends and relatives to get started on stocks and forex markets.

Iran Warns Azerbaijan, Armenia against Posing Security Threats

Iran Warns Azerbaijan, Armenia against Posing Security Threats

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the senior spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, made the comment amid an ongoing operation by the Azerbaijan Republic’s military to recapture parts of its territory occupied by Armenia.

“In the wake of a military conflict between the Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia and [their] failure to observe international good-neighbour principles as well as wartime expediencies on the borders of a third country, which resulted in a number of mortar rounds being fired and landing inside Iran’s territory, our Armed Forces will boost their defense lines along the borders and announce that the security of Iranian border areas and people is our red line,” said the general.

“In this connection, we remind both warring countries that first, they should watch out for warmongering and machinations of foreigners; secondly, they should settle their differences via peaceful means and dialogue, and thirdly, they should not jeopardize the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the security and privacy of our fellow countrymen, which is a red line for our Armed Forces, by acting carelessly in their military operations and they should seriously take care in that regard,” he said.

“Following recent fighting between the two countries’ military forces in the Karabakh region, Nakhchivan and Armenia due to the machinations of some regional players, and the rocket and mortar attacks by the warring sides, some border areas of the Islamic Republic of Iran were affected and some of our fellow countrymen living in the border areas sustained damage,” the top general said.

“So, we emphasize that the two [warring] countries should resolve their differences through dialogue and not overstep Iran’s red lines or they will definitely rue the day,” he said.

Iranian, Turkish Presidents Discuss Enhancement of Trade Ties

Iranian, Turkish Presidents Discuss Enhancement of Trade Ties

In a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, President Rouhani hailed the bilateral relations between Iran and Turkey as a model for the other neighbors.

Pointing to the negative impacts of the illegal US sanctions and the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic on the economic and trade interaction between Tehran and Ankara, President Rouhani expressed hope for growing trade ties in full compliance with the health protocols and with a rise in the transit of trucks and number of flights.

The president also stressed the need for the immediate implementation of the previous bilateral deals between the two countries, particularly the trade and banking agreements, considering the most recent meeting of Iran-Turkey High Council of Economic Cooperation, held in Tehran via videoconferencing.

President Rouhani further emphasized the necessity of joint action against terrorism, saying, “The terrorist groups could be a great threat to the region.”

The president also voiced Iran’s readiness to cooperate with Turkey in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic and share its experiences in tackling the pandemic.

President Rouhani then stressed the importance of protecting security of Iran’s border cities amid the escalation of fighting between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, adding, “Our stance on this issue is quite clear. We believe that war is not the solution, and the conflict needs to be resolved through dialogue and negotiations.”

“I believe that Iran and Turkey, as two powerful countries in the region, as well as Russia, can contribute to the establishment of peace and stability in the region, so that we’d see the establishment of peace and calm in the region with the implementation of the international law and territorial integrity,” the Iranian president stated.

Lauding the cooperation among Iran, Turkey and Russia for the settlement of crisis in Syria within the framework of the Astana Process, President Rouhani hoped that the trilateral interaction would resolve the problems in Syria, put an end to terrorism in the region, and protect Syria’s territorial integrity.

President Erdogan, for his part, hailed Iran as a friend and good neighbor of Turkey, and called for the expansion of bilateral ties under the agreements reached in the meetings of the High Council of Cooperation.

He also gave an assurance that Turkey will continue to support Iran against the US’ unilateral sanctions, saying Ankara would do its utmost, like before, to broaden the economic and trade ties with Tehran.

The Turkish president further described the cooperation with Iran in the war on terrorism as a major factor in ensuring regional peace and security, calling for continued interaction in the fight against terrorism.

President Erdogan finally expressed hope that the coordination between Turkey and Iran amid the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute would help settle the crisis through negotiations and restore calm and peace to the region.
