Iran Army Chief: 4 Military Teams Investigating Naval Tragedy

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the funeral of the martyrs at an airbase in Tehran on Tuesday, Major General Mousavi said four teams of experts have been dispatched to the scene of the fatal accident to investigate the case.

The four teams, representing the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry, the Army and the Navy, have launched a probe into the incident, he added.

The senior commander said arrangements have been made to carry out all necessary measures to investigate the incident.

Looking into such accidents usually requires a very complicated process, because a careful and detailed examination should be conducted to ascertain whether a problem relates to the technical issues or the human error, the Army chief explained.

He also praised the Navy rescue and relief teams for saving the crew of the doomed vessel after the accident, saying 16 servicemen were evacuated from the ship, one of whom was pronounced dead later.

“The measures that are being taken at present are aimed at discovering the cause of the incident,” Major General Mousavi concluded.

In a message for the Army chief on Tuesday, Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ordered the Army to hold an inquiry about the accident, shed light on the dimensions of the incident, identify the ones possibly at fault, and make the necessary arrangements to prevent a recurrence of such tragic incidents.

Nineteen Navy servicemen were martyred and 15 others injured in the accident on Sunday evening, May 10, when a number of vessels were carrying a naval training exercise off the coasts of Jask and Chabahar in the Sea of Oman.

Iran Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Afghanistan

In a statement on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi deplored the terrorist offensive on a hospital in Kabul, the attack on a funeral in Nangarhar, and the other military actions in various regions of Afghanistan, condemned the strikes on civilians and non-military sites, and voiced concern about the rise in violence in Afghanistan.

The Iranian spokesperson also expressed sympathy with the Afghan government and people, particularly with the families of victims of the recent attacks.

Mousavi finally called on all forces engaged in the military operations to cease the armed actions in honor of the holy month of Ramadan and prepare the ground for dialogue and sustainable peace in Afghanistan.

On Tuesday morning, gunmen attacked a hospital that houses a maternity clinic in Kabul, killing at least 16 people including two newborn babies.

In another terrorist attack in the morning, a suicide bomber killed at least 24 others at a funeral in Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan.

Iran’s Leader Orders Probe into Naval Accident

Ayatollah Khamenei on Tuesday sent a message of sympathy to Iranian Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi over the martyrdom of Navy forces in the fatal accident in the Sea of Oman.

The Leader said the tragic accident involving Konarak vessel that resulted in the martyrdom of a number of Navy servicemen has been “very bitter and regrettable” for him.

“Although the hardworking servicemen who have died in the course of hard duty and gloriously will benefit from divine reward God willing, the grief at the loss of the beloved ones for their families and the damage of loss of the sincere hardworking young forces to the Force (Navy) is quite great and heavy,” Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.

Offering condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the accident and praying for the recovery of the injured, the Leader ordered the relevant authorities to “correctly shed light on the dimensions of the incident, identify the ones possibly at fault, and make the necessary arrangements to prevent a recurrence of such damaging and bitter incidents.”

Nineteen Navy servicemen were martyred in an accident involving ‘Konarak’ light support vessel on Sunday evening, May 10, when a number of vessels were carrying a naval training exercise off the coasts of Jask and Chabahar.

Fifteen Navy forces have been also wounded in the incident.

Funeral Held for 19 Victims of Naval Incident in Southern Iran

The ceremony was held in the southwestern port city of Chabahar on Tuesday, with military top brass and a number of senior state officials in attendance, while observing social distancing rules in place to curtail a coronavirus outbreak.

Fifteen others were also injured in the accident that happened on Sunday, when a number of Navy vessels were conducting an exercise near the waters lying close to Jask and Chabahar ports that respectively belong to neighboring provinces of Hormozgan, and Sistan and Baluchestan.

The Navy’s Public Relations’ Department said in a statement on Monday that teams of experts had already been dispatched to the site to conduct a thorough investigation, and advised against any speculations about the accident before the results of the official probe were out.

Iran regularly holds exercises in the Gulf of Oman, which is close to the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20 percent of the world’s oil trade passes.

Why Some COVID-19 Patients in Iran Develop Skin Problems

Why Some COVID-19 Patients in Iran Develop Skin Problems

The head of the Infectious Diseases Department at Masih Daneshvari Hospital said just as many other viral illnesses may be accompanied by red skin gashes or pimples, the coronavirus disease is also associated with skin manifestation in some patients.

Dr Davoud Payam Tabarsi says, however, that the specific skin gashes that characterise COVID-19 have not yet been identified.

“In some patients with COVID-19, skin manifestations have been seen which may be due to drug side-effects,” ISNA quoted the expert as saying.

Tabarsi, who is also a faculty member of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, pointed out that many people with the coronavirus may use several types of drugs for treatment, and taking antiviral drugs, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time may cause skin problems.

In many cases, skin problems may occur on the body of people with corona not because of the virus, but because of the side effects of the drugs, he stressed.

Tabari at the same time noted that “skin problems are not very common among patients in Iran.”

Numerous reports of skin rashes in patients with COVID-19 are cropping up around the world.

The rashes can take many forms — some appear as tiny red spots, while others appear as larger flat or raised lesions. Some have a hive-like appearance, while others look like frostbitten toes.

However, the Live Science says it’s too early to say whether these rashes are indeed caused by the new coronavirus, or whether they are related to other factors.

“That’s really the million-dollar question,” said Dr. Kanade Shinkai, a professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, and editor-in-chief of the journal JAMA Dermatology.

“It’s unclear whether the skin lesions we see in COVID are actually a direct manifestation of the virus” in the skin, or whether they are a “reaction pattern” due to a generally ramped-up immune system, Shinkai told Live Science.
