Iran Inaugurates Several Technology Centres in Bushehr Province

The Persian Gulf Pearl Innovation Tower was one of the main centres inaugurated by Sorena Sattari during his visit to Bushehr province.

The tower was put into operation with the support of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology. The centre is to host knowledge-based and high-tech companies in the province.

Bushehr Innovation Tower has been built in an area of 3,000 square metres and can play a significant role in the improvement of the province’s innovative ecosystem.

The new building of Bushehr Science and Technology Park will also be unveiled during Sattari’s visit. The Vice President for Science and Technology will also visit the exhibition of knowledge-based and technology companies located in the park and will talk to the managers and representatives of these companies.

Sattari also launched the first phase of the LoRaWAN protocol-based Internet of Things network. Given the growing importance of IoT-based smart devices, this vital infrastructure could play a key role in the development of innovative businesses.

LoRaWAN is one of the most widely used protocols in the field of Internet of Things, which was implemented with the help of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology.

Sattari also paid a visit to various centres affiliated with the province’s innovation network, including the exhibition of knowledge-based companies to get acquainted with the latest achievements of technological companies.

An acoustic locator of polyethylene gas pipes, IoT-based water quality monitoring system of shrimp pools, and T-service automatic welding machine were among the other technological achievements introduced to the Vice President for Science and Technology.

Alcohol production workshops, and centres to produce hand disinfectant gels, masks, and surface disinfectants were among the other places Sattari visited in line with empowering the southern region to better cope with the outbreak of the coronavirus.

Dead Woman Wakes Up in Mortuary in Iran

The woman was pronounced dead and taken to the mortuary of a cemetery in Khorramabad, the capital of Iran’s western province of Lorestan.

Head of the public relations department of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences said the coroner went to the mortuary in the morning to examine the corpse and issue a burial permit, but saw the dead woman miraculously breathing.

The woman who had spent 18 hours officially dead was taken to a hospital in Khorramabad, where the doctors managed to resuscitate her, Abdolreza Shahbazi said.

The woman has been brought back to life and is now admitted to the emergency department of the hospital, he added.

This phenomenon is known as Lazarus syndrome, defined as a delayed return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has ceased. In other words, patients who are pronounced dead after cardiac arrest experience an impromptu return of cardiac activity.

The syndrome is named after Lazarus of Bethany, who –according to the New Testament of the Bible– was brought back to life by Jesus Christ 4 days after his death, according to Medical News Today.

Since 1982, when the Lazarus phenomenon was first described in medical literature, there have been dozens of reported cases.

Iran Warns US against Disruption of Legal Trade

Zarif Decries Israel-UAE Deal to Normalize Ties

Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters on Tuesday lawful trade and business will go on across the globe and the US cannot stop it.

“Legal trade continues in the world, and the United States is not allowed to disrupt it. This policy of the US government is not just a threat to one or two special countries; rather, it poses a threat to the whole world,” underlined Zarif.

He made the remarks on the sidelines of a funeral ceremony held for Iran’s former envoy to the OPEC who died a couple of days ago.

“If a country wants to make a decision based on its own wrong policies and take action to disrupt legal trade, it will certainly face an international backlash,” said Zarif.

In recent days, following the reports of threats by US government officials to make trouble for Iranian fuel tankers, FM Zarif sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding the US deployment of warships to the Caribbean, warning about Washington’s disruption of Iran’s fuel shipment to Venezuela.

In his letter, Zarif described the US’s illegal, dangerous and provocative threats as kind of piracy and a major threat to international peace and security, stressing that the United States must stop bullying and respect the rule of international law, especially the freedom of the seas.

He also said the US government will be responsible for the consequences of any illegal action, stressing that it is Iran’s right to take appropriate and necessary measures to counter such threats.

After sending this letter, the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss ambassador, warning Washington of serious consequences in case of any possible threats against its vessels.

The foreign ministry also described trade relations between Iran and Venezuela as fully legitimate and legal, saying the United States’ use of coercion or bullying is a threat to freedom of shipping, international trade and free flow of energy.

Iranian media reported on Saturday that four US Navy warships are in the Caribbean for a possible confrontation with Iran’s tankers.

Five Iranian tankers carrying petrol and similar products are now sailing to Venezuela. Washington says Tehran and Caracas are under sanctions and such moves are sanction-dodging.

On Thursday, the US Treasury, State Department and Coast Guard issued an advisory warning the maritime industry of illegal shipping by countries including Iran.

Iran Says Cyber Attack on Rajaee Port Foiled Successfully

An unnamed official at Shahid Rajaee Port denied the claims of a successful attack on the port’s facilities, saying that last week, some disruptions were created in the computer systems of the port, which could be the result of a cyber-attack.

“Due to the full preparedness of the passive defence units in the facilities of the Port and the timely and effective confrontation with the problems, no disturbances have been created in the process of routine activities,” added the source.

Meanwhile, Managing Director of the Ports and Maritime Organisation of Iran, Mohammad Rastad, told ILNA the attack “failed to affect the systems and was only able to infiltrate and damage a number of private operating systems.”

Shahid Rajaee Port is a newly constructed shipping terminal in the Iranian coastal city of Bandar Abbas, on the Strait of Hormuz.

The Washington Post reported on Monday that Israel appears to be behind a cyber-attack earlier this month on computers at the Iranian port, causing massive backups on waterways and roads leading to the facility.

Citing unnamed officials, the Post said the May 9 disruption of Iranian computers was seemingly in retaliation for an earlier attempted cyber-attack on rural water distribution systems in Israel.

The Israeli embassy in Washington or Israel Defence Forces have not commented on the Washington Post report so far.

Iran Once Again Rejects Claims of Harming Afghan Citizens at Border

Iran Once Again Rejects Claims of Harming Afghan Citizens at Border

In a phone conversation with Afghanistan’s National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Vice Admiral Ali Shamkhani said the agreement reached between Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and his political rival Abdullah Abdullah is a key step toward the creation of stability and establishment of a powerful government in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

During the phone talk, Shamkhani said the United States is pursuing an unacceptable path in its political measures by ignoring Afghanistan’s interests.

Shamkhani reiterated that Iran, like in the past, stands ready to offer hygienic and medical treatment aid to Afghanistan free of charge.

Meanwhile, Shamkhani underlined that Iranian border guards had nothing to do with the tragic event in which a group of Afghan nationals lost their lives in the common border area between the two countries. However, he expressed surprise and regret over a “heavy and undocumented news atmosphere” created by some Afghan media outlets and officials.

He said there is documented evidence which refutes claims made against Iran. He noted that if the Afghan side is willing, the issue can be investigated in a joint fact-finding committee without being affected by “unconstructive” media hype.

The Afghan national security advisor, in turn, expressed gratitude to Iran for its determining role in the agreement reached between Ghani and Abdullah.

Mohib said Afghanistan will not allow the cordial relations between the two countries to be affected by unwarranted alarmism.

He further said illegal movements across the common borders between the two countries is an old challenge, expressing hope the tragic incident will turn into an opportunity to work out a permanent solution in that regard.

He added the evacuation of some border checkpoints by Afghan forces has created some problems along the common borders. He said Afghanistan is prepared to work with Iran to find a fundamental solution with regards to border control.

Iran has vehemently rejected claims that Iranian border guards had tortured and thrown several Afghan migrants into a river in a western province to prevent their illegal entry into Iran.

Seventh Edition of STEP Symposium Kicks Off in Tehran

Seventh Edition of STEP Symposium Kicks Off in Tehran

The STEP Symposium, which is held annually in one of the Muslim countries, offers a wide range of joint cooperative research opportunities and creates a platform for in-depth discussions and exchanges of strategic experience to the countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in the field of science and technology.

On the first day of the STEP symposium, called Exchange of Experiences and Observations of the Therapeutic Staff in Muslim Countries, a series of lectures were held by a number of researchers and physicians, focusing on the COVID-19 epidemic.

At the beginning of the scientific conference, the speakers shared their views on the outbreak of the coronavirus.

Rasoul Dinavernd, the Chairman of the Seventh STEP Meeting and a member of the Board of Directors of the Mustafa Foundation talked about the initiative, saying that 12 speeches by researchers from different countries such as China, Pakistan, Iraq, Azerbaijan Republic and Bangladesh are presented on the first day.

Then, Abdolmajid Cheraghali, the head of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, gave a presentation on the treatment of the corona patients using the plasma of the recovered people.

He said the virus has created a global challenge for people and confused the medical staff due to the lack of a specific drug to treat it. All the scientists did their best to find the finest treatment, and one of them was using the plasma of the recovered patients.

“This method is not a new one and has been used in the treatment of other diseases, especially the Spanish influenza outbreak in the twentieth century and the H1N1, MERS and SARS epidemic.”

“Antibodies in plasma are injected into sick people and can treat the patient, especially in the early stages of the infection,” he added.

He further noted the plasma of the recovered individuals is very helpful because it takes a long time to produce a drug or a vaccine for emerging diseases.

“We have the plasma of the recovered people at hand, and we can use it quickly to treat patients; therefore, it is very cost-effective,” he said.

At this edition of STEP symposium, Iranian experts and university professors along with scientists from India, Turkey, Japan, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Azerbaijan Republic share their experiences in treating COVID-19.

So far, various centres in the Muslim world, including Iranian universities, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Sultan Qaboos University of Oman, and Karachi University have hosted this symposium.

With the aim of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of academic centres and encouraging researchers to focus on patenting, through the enhancement of cooperation between the scientists and scholars of the Muslim world, the Mustafa Science and Technology Foundation launched STEP Program in 2015 as part of its scientific activities.

‘Sultan of Cars’, His Wife Sentenced to Death in Iran

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Iran’s Judiciary Spokesman Gholam Hossein Esmaeili said the criminal case includes a mixture of crimes, such as disrupting the country’s currency market and the automobile market.

Vahid Behzadi and his wife, Najva Lasheidaee, have been condemned to death on charges of major disruption to the country’s monetary and currency system, currency smuggling through dummy purchase orders, disrupting the system of distribution of commodities by purchasing more than 6,700 cars in advance from Iranian carmaker Saipa, and money-laundering involving a sum of 32 trillion rials, Esmaeili added.

The Judiciary spokesman noted that 24,700 gold coins and 100 kilograms of gold have been confiscated from the convicted woman’s dwelling.

He also noted that former CEO of Saipa car factory, Mahdi Jamali, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for involvement in disruption to distribution mechanisms, while the former deputy head of the carmaker’s marketing department has been sentenced to 15 years.

Moreover, two parliamentarians, Mohammad Azizi and Fereidoon Ahmadi, have been sentenced to 61 months in prison each for their roles in disrupting the car market, he noted.

Since August 2018, Iran’s Judiciary has been holding public trials of individuals involved in major economic corruption cases.

Iran Reopens Outdoor Centres of Recreation as Coronavirus Peters Out

Mounesan announced on Tuesday that people in Iran can visit the open-air places of recreation as well as the hiking and mountaineering sites by observing the health protocols.

He said the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism places no more restrictions on those sites as long as the visitors conform to the health regulations.

However, the minister noted, it is still illegal to pitch tents and make public camps in the parks for overnight stays in a way that would lead to the gatherings and a crowd of travellers and campers.

He advised the campers to use the official sites operating under authorization from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism.

Mounesan also noted that he has asked the Interior Ministry to order the provincial officials, the Police and the security authorities to endorse the new decision and allow people to enjoy the ecotourism attractions and the open-air recreational centres easily, considering that the current situation in the society after the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent problems have mounted mental pressures on the citizens.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in February forced the Iranian officials to abort the nationwide Nowruz celebrations and enforce the closure of parks, religious sites, mountaineering sites, museums, and historic sites across the country.

Iran’s Health Ministry says the novel coronavirus outbreak is reaching the containment phase in many parts of the country, calling for strict compliance with the social distancing protocols to defeat the contagious disease.
