Rouhani Hails Iranians for Observing Health Protocols on Qadr Nights

In a telephone conversation with Health Minister Saeed Namaki on Friday, President Rouhani said while the divided voices in a number of developed countries are still wrangling over the extension of restrictions or resumption of the normal activities following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, Iran has managed to handle the situation in harmony.

Iran takes pride in the unanimity between the people and the officials which has helped the country to reopen the businesses in conformity with the health protocols, allow the performance of religious rituals during the Qadr nights with special considerations, and at the same time maintain the downward trend in the coronavirus infections, the president noted.

Paying tribute to the wise and noble Iranian people for strict observance of the health regulations in the religious ceremonies marking the ‘Nights of Destiny’ in the holy month of Ramadan, President Rouhani said such move was a milestone in the cooperation and harmony between the people and the authorities in the fight against coronavirus.

The president noted that such close cooperation from the people and the observance of the health instructions would make the health officials more hopeful about the next stages in controlling and containing the contagious disease in the country.

President Rouhani finally paid tribute to the clerics, religious authorities, custodians of the religious sites, and organizers of the Qadr night rituals for their wise, strict and responsible handling of the situation, expressing hope that the holy shrines and religious sites in the cities with places of pilgrimage would reopen as soon as those cities are categorized as white zones (coronavirus-free regions) in compliance with the health protocols.

The Health Minister, for his part, gave a report of the public gatherings on the Qadr nights and the instructions enforced to ensure the health of people.

Namaki also said the country is making a transition from handling of the coronavirus epidemic to controlling the contagion.

He finally expressed hope that constant compliance with the health protocols and the smart social distancing initiative will soon take Iran to the containment stage.

A couple of days ago, the Health Ministry allowed the religious sites in Iran to reopen while taking the necessary precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Muslim people of Iran hold vigils at three nights of Qadr in the month of Ramadan.

Iran Calls US Ruling Elite ‘Inefficient, Source of Threat’

Iran Calls US Ruling Elite 'Inefficient, Source of Threat'

In a tweet on Friday, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Vice Admiral Ali Shamkhani criticized US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US special envoy for Iran Brian Hook for their anti-Iran comments and policies.

“The Trump-Pompeo-Hook triangle presents an image of the ruling elite in the US which its allies consider as unreliable, its rivals see as a threat and its citizens regard as inefficient,” he tweeted.

Shamkhani’s comments come as the Trump administration has adopted the policy of maximum pressure against Iran.

Recently, Hook claimed the US is still a signatory to the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Iranian officials have reacted to his claim, saying the US unilaterally withdrew from the agreement back in 2018, and, hence, is no longer a party to the deal.

Pompeo also recently pushed for the extension of a UN arms embargo on Iran which expires in October. The UN agreed to end the embargo in October 2020 after the JCPOA was signed in 2015.

Furthermore, Trump reinstated sanctions on Iran more than a year ago.
Iran says the US sanctions are not only hitting the country’s economy, but are also preventing Tehran from importing medicine and food due to banking restrictions.

Tarkhineh Soup; A Nutrient Iranian Dish with Yogurt

Tarkhineh is a dried food ingredient, based on a fermented mixture of grain and yoghurt or fermented milk, found in the cuisines of the Middle East. Dry tarkhineh has a texture of coarse, uneven crumbs, and it is usually made into a thick soup with water or milk.

Tarkhineh can be eaten in all seasons, but in winter, it is said to have a positive effect on the treatment of colds.

It is made of half-beaten wheat, dried mint, turmeric, salt and local vegetables that are soaked in yogurt drink for several days.

The dish is cooked slightly different in the Lor and Kurdish areas, and can even be prepared with different legumes such as mung bean, lentils and beans.

You can get Tarkhineh from apothecaries. This food ingredient is considered a semi-prepared one, but has a long shelf life and does not need to be stored even in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

Tarkhineh (Kashkineh): 2 pieces

Onions: A large one

Salt & Pepper: As much as needed

Dried Mint: As much as needed 

Black Pepper: As much as needed

Directions:

Soak Tarkhineh in water for two hours to separate the yogurt. Then separate the wheat from the yogurt and cook with two glasses of water on a low heat. 

In the meantime, chop the onion and fry it. Add the yogurt that was originally separated from Tarkhineh to the soup, but first make sure the wheat is well cooked.

Add turmeric and black pepper to it. Now, add the onion to Tarkhineh and cook it for a while. Finally, add the mint and a few minutes later the soup is ready.

Iran Starts Production of Homegrown Latex Gloves

The Iranian company, Arman Exir Salamat, has gained the technical know-how to launch the production line of latex gloves during a short period of time.

CEO of the company Mohamamd Ne’mati says his enterprise updated a production line of latex gloves that had remained unused for five years, and began producing with modern technologies to meet domestic demand amid the coronavirus epidemic.

In the meantime, he added, the young experts at the company’s research and development (R&D) unit designed and launched a homegrown production line manufacturing gloves.

Pointing to the growing global demand for the latex gloves and the need to supply the raw materials for production, Ne’mati said his company has been working in cooperation with two prominent Iranian chemists and will soon produce the raw materials for latex gloves inside the country.

He also unveiled plans for the export of the Iranian latex gloves, saying the supports provided by the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology have enabled the company to develop plans for exports after meeting the domestic demand.

The company has already received a remarkable number of purchase requests from the foreign customers, the CEO noted.

The global demand for the health and medical supplies has skyrocketed after the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the Iranian factories and knowledge-based companies have managed to satisfy the local demand for a host of products, such as medical face masks, ventilators, coronavirus diagnostic test kits and disinfectants.

Iran has even begun to export the coronavirus-related medical items to the other nations.

US in No Position to Measure Anti-Terrorism Efforts: Iran

Iran Vows Appropriate Response to US Interception of Mahan Air Flight

In a tweet on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said the United States itself is a state sponsor of terrorism.

“With a history of founding, funding and arming different terrorist groups, a record of state terrorism, and its outright support for another terrorist regime, US is not a good yardstick for measuring anti-terrorism efforts,” Mousavi said in his tweet.

Mousavi’s remarks came after the United States failed to remove Iran from its so-called counterterrorism cooperation list.

The list categorizes Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba as countries which are not contributing to the US war on terror.

Iran and the US have repeatedly accused each other of backing and arming terror groups around the globe.
