Vintage Car Collection of Niavaran Palace 3

The most beautiful cars on display are two Rolls-Royces dating back to the second Pahlavi era.

Built in an area of about 200 square metres, it is not a specialized car museum, as the managers’ approach has been to protect and introduce the cars by providing a basic knowledge along with a historical narrative.

What follows are ILNA’s photos of the museum:

One Iranian Dies of Coronavirus Every 13 Minutes: Deputy Minister

Iran's COVID-19 Death Toll Hits 20,000

Iraj Harirchi said this is an alarm that shows people should observe the social distancing.
“Fortunately, with the cooperation of the people and the health ministry, we were able to control the disease, but it is not enough. In some provinces, we are facing the severe conditions of the disease, and our provincial and city-wide measures, especially in the high-risk regions, should be taken seriously as much as possible.”

Observing the physical distance of one metre reduces the threat of the virus by 82%, the use of the mask by 85% and the use of eye protection by 78%. These figures are very important and effective in preventing the spread of the disease, underlined Harirchi in a video press conference on Saturday.

“Re-openings are now underway in most countries around the world due to economic reasons. In the current context of economic and social activity, the most important things that reduce the prevalence of the disease are the observance of one-metre distance with others and the use of eye protection and masks.”

Harirchi emphasised that young people, and even children who appear to be healthy or have mild symptoms of corona disease, are an important player in transmitting the disease to others, especially parents and the elderly.

“People under the age of 50 are less likely to develop asymptomatic and undiagnosed disease. Unintentionally and unknowingly, young people can infect those around them which sometimes leads to death and prolonged hospitalisation.”

People who have had COVID-19 before, and people whose antibodies have been tested positive and think they are safe, should still keep a social distance because it is not yet clear from scientific evidence that these people are safe against the corona, he went on to say.

Iran, Iraq Stress Full Implementations of Joint Agreements

Iran, Iraq Stress Full Implementations of Joint Agreements

Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said the fields of cooperation between Tehran and Baghdad cover a wide range including terrorism, organised crime and arms and drug trafficking, as well as police cooperation and border security.

“We can boost economic and trade exchanges while adhering to health protocols. We can even increase the working hours of border markets to as much as 24 hours so that traders and businessmen of the two countries can cooperate more,” said Rahman Fazli in a phone conversation with Iraqi minister of interior Osman Ali Farhoud.

Rahmani Fazli also referred to the capacity of the Somar and Khosravi border points and called on the Iraqi minister to activate these borders for the exchange of goods and commercial items.

He also pointed out that in some parts of the border between Iran and Iraq, both in the north and in the south, unfortunately, there exists smuggling of weapons, ammunition and alcoholic beverages.

Rahmani Fazli called for joint meetings of the relevant officials of the two countries to prevent these issues.

In this telephone conversation, the Iraqi interior minister thanked Rahmani Fazli for his call and emphasised on the development of cooperation between the two countries in security, political, and economic fields.

“We are trying to develop cooperation in all fields which is in the interest of both countries and nations,” Osman Ali Farhoud pointed out.

To combat terrorism, organised crime, drugs, smuggling and counterfeit money, Iraq is determined to develop bilateral relations because the two sides need each other’s support, given the long joint borders.

US Deprives Iran’s Chemical Warfare Victims of Access to Medicine: Zarif

US Deprives Iran's Chemical Warfare Victims of Access to Medicine

Mohammad Javad Zarif said the US administration did not know anything about human rights when it was witnessing the use of chemical weapons against Iran during the imposed war with Iraq.

“It does not recognise human rights when imposing sanctions. Washington does not even respect human rights in its economic terrorism,” added Zarif.

Speaking at a ceremony to commemorate the victims of Sardasht chemical attack, the Iranian foreign minister underlined that in the tragedy of Sardasht, one can see two manifestations of humanity and savagery at the same time. However, Iran did not violate human principles in the face of savagery.

“Morality and the power of selfless people never let them go beyond the limits of humanitarian principles. The Iranian nation never retaliated and this honour was recorded for the Islamic Republic in history. Iran does not violate humanitarian principles in the face of oppression and savagery.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, FM Zarif mentioned the United Nations has repeatedly investigated both the Islamic Republic of Iran’s concern over the use of chemical weapons by Iraq and the Iraqis’ claims against Iran.

However, he said, in all of these investigations it has come to the firm conclusion that it was Saddam’s regime that used chemical weapons.

The first time the UN Security Council condemned Iraq’s use of chemical weapons was at the end of the Iran-Iraq war, underscored Zarif.

“Today, through its inhumane sanctions, the United States is preventing (export of) the medicine needed for chemical (warfare) victims; the drugs needed for other victims as well as the drugs needed for various patients,” stressed the Iranian foreign minister.

The Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein attacked Sardasht, in West Azerbaijan province, in north-western Iran, with chemical weapons in 1987. Sardasht is one of the first cities in the world to be targeted by weapons of mass destruction.

On 28 and 29 June 1987, Iraqi bombers attacked four districts of Sardasht with chemical bombs. The chemical attack left at least 110 people killed, and 5,000 others injured.

Haji Deligani added that this issue will be discussed in the parliament and the necessary decisions will be made about it.

“We will not allow South Korea to create problems for our nation with its cooperation with the United States,” he concluded.
