US Claim That Iran Sanctions Reinstated 'Baseless': FM Zarif

In a tweet, Mohammad Javad Zarif said the inmates are being held in harrowing conditions.
“US even refuses medical furlough—amid #COVID19—for innocent men jailed in horrific facilities,” Zarif tweeted.

The top diplomat said Washington declines to release Iranian scientists even after they were exonerated by its own courts.

“US has taken several Iranian scientists hostage—without charge or on spurious sanctions charges—& not releasing them; even when its OWN courts reject the absurd charges,” he added.

He made the comment after an Iranian scientist, held in a US jail without charge, slammed his detention conditions as “inhumane.” Sirous Asgari said inmates at the Alexandria detention centre in the state of Louisiana have no access to protective masks and hand sanitizers.

Asgari is an engineering professor who was acquitted in November of federal charges of stealing trade secrets related to his academic work. However, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has imprisoned him indefinitely.

Symptoms of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are very similar to those of other common respiratory diseases such as the common cold. In such a situation, one of the major concerns is whether one should go to medical centres with respiratory symptoms such as cough and runny nose.

In order to answer this question, the Medical Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian Red Crescent Society have developed an online test whose algorithm is based on the symptoms of COVID-19 and international research studies.

The Coronavirus online test has proved to be a powerful means amid the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic in Iran and has so far been taken by over seven million people with the COVID-19 symptoms or those who are concerned about getting it.

The goal of this online test is to help people know whether they need to go to a medical centre for the COVID-19.

The English version of the test has been launched for non-Iranian nationals across the world. So if you are worried that you may have contracted the virus, take this test right now.

Matlab Khan; Largest Open-Air Mosque in Iran

Matlab Khan mosque has distinguishing architectural features that have made it unique among the other historic mosques in Iran.

With a mihrab (a semicircular niche in the wall of mosque indicating the qibla) 12.5 metres in height and a 15-metres-high iwan (a large arched entrance), the mosque has one of the highest mihrabs and iwans among the whole mosques in Iran.

Located in the central part of Khoy, Matlab Khan mosque has a large, open-air square shabestan (a space usually used during summers) surrounded by two-story chambers, high “shahneshin”s (twin-columned iwans) and a very large iwan.

The upper parts of the mihrab at the entrance of shabestan are decorated with big stucco Muqarnas (a form of ornamented vaulting in Islamic architecture). In the upper story, special areas have been built with wooden banisters at the four corners of shabestan for women to sit. Worshippers can reach those areas by walking up the stairs built in the four corners of the courtyard.

The mosque was constructed during the Ilkhanid dynasty in the central and old part of Khoy. The mosque was reportedly destroyed once, and reconstructed around 190 year ago under the auspices of Matlab Khan, a grandchild of Sheikh Bahai, who was a special goldsmith working for Abbas Mirza -a Qajar crown prince of Persia and governor of Azerbaijan.

After reconstruction, the mosque was named after Matlab Khan.

What follows are photos of the mosque retrieved from various sources:

How to Choose a Reliable Online Game

By
Entertainment Wire

As technology improves on an almost daily basis, these online platforms have enhanced their gameplay, security, and features in such a way that the industry is now booming, an example of which can be seen in https://www.bobcasino.com/ tournaments.

And with more and more people now turning to the internet for entertainment, there’s no sign of that boom slowing down any time soon.

But when it comes to choosing an online casino, it’s not quite so straightforward. With a seemingly endless list of providers out there, how do you spot the good from the bad? And how do you know you’re protected every step of the way?

Well, it’s actually not all that difficult. Just follow a few simple steps and finding a reliable casino platform is quite simple.

Look for recognizable brand names

Okay, so this one is an obvious one — look for the names you know. It’s the same with practically anything you purchase be it a product or service. You always go with a reputable name. Think about the ads you see for online casinos on TV. The chances are that if they can afford to pay for TV commercials, then they’re a pretty big player in the industry.

You’ll also find that many of the bigger casinos offer free bets and credits for new players. For example, gaming giant Paddy Power offers a free bonus to all new customers on signing up. That’s another reason to look for those recognizable names.

Bigger names also have more money to invest in the security of their platform (more on that later), while it will also be easier for you to do a little research on their customer service. And that brings us to our next point.

Do your research

That means checking out online reviews in impartial forums. It doesn’t mean reading the testimonials on the casino’s page or social media pages. Look to Google to help you find what people are saying about the provider in question.

You want to know how quickly they respond to customer queries and how easy it is to get in touch with them. You also want to make sure that there are no major issues with payouts. Some smaller online casinos take forever to process withdrawals, so make sure to double check what existing customers of the casino are saying.

Remember though, that you will find negative feedback on practically any casino in the market. Don’t take one negative review as decisive. Dig deeper and get a broader picture of what customers are saying before making your final decision.

Check the small print

Yes, we know, no one reads the small print ever! But in some cases, you really must, especially when it comes to matters of personal finance. Read the terms and conditions and pay particular attention to any mentions of additional fees for specific transactions. Any additional charges should be clearly visible on the website and not hidden in the terms and conditions.

Also check the withdrawal times and payment methods. Generally speaking, it can take as long as a week to process a withdrawal, but this is often down to the banks and not the provider. Just double check that there’s nothing too unreasonable in there such as a 30-day withdrawal process.

 

Is it secure?

As we mentioned earlier, an online casino will need to store your personal information for deposits and withdrawals so you want to know that they are serious about their security.

First up, they should be using well-known and trusted payment processors such as Visa, PayPal, Neteller, etc. These trusted processors add and additional layer of security to your transactions with the casino.

They should also be registered with and licensed by the local gaming authority where their head office is based. This could be anywhere in the world such as Malta, the United Kingdom, Canada, or several states in the US. But wherever they are based, they simply must have a recognized license. This should be easy to spot at the bottom of the home page.

Licensed online casino providers need to follow extremely strict guidelines in order to protect their players and the information that they store on their servers. Once a provider is licensed, they should have fulfilled their legal obligations which is always a good thing for you, the customer.

Is it popular?

An online casino’s popularity is a good indicator of how well they handle their business. After all, you won’t find too many players on a platform that isn’t secure or doesn’t deal with customer queries very well. You’ll know it’s a popular platform by checking how many registered users it has or by simply seeing what people are saying about it online (do your research, remember?)

However, that’s not the only benefit to opting for a popular casino. If you like to play games that involve you playing against other players and not just the casino, then you’ll want a popular platform with an extensive database of registered users. This means that whenever you feel like playing a game like poker, you’ll always be able to find a table to sit at. A healthy flow of players through the casino also means that any progressive jackpots will be worth playing too.

Popular online casinos will also invest their time and money into providing more gaming opportunities for its players. This means that you can expect to see new slots or perhaps online tournaments taking place on the platform on a regular basis.

 

So there you have it. As you can see, finding a reliable online casino doesn’t actually have to be all that hard. All you need to do is take your time, read online reviews, and do your homework! Who knows, find the right platform and with a little luck and a hell of a lot of hard work, you might become the next Ali Reza Fatehi. Okay, so maybe that’s a little pie in the sky, but hey, you have to set your sights high, right?

Nevertheless, the return on investment although slow is often a given. Meaning, if at all if you have to sell the villa, the value will only magnify in the future.

Privacy and a healthier atmosphere are yet another advantage a villa offers. Very often, villas are widely spaced. Providing ample scope for space. This also means less noise. Thus, it is ideal when privacy is your major concern.

 

Villas are Ideal for Long-term Investment

Although a villa is not a fast-selling commodity, with the right steps you can gain yours in a surprisingly quick time. And, to achieve this, you must seek the services of realtors having expertise with villas.

One attribute of such reliable agents is the fact that they update the list of properties every week, proving a broad range of options to their clientele.

They will understand your needs not just at your level, but also consider the choices and preferences of your family. While the reasons justified by the agents may be plenty, until you develop a connection with the villa, there is no satisfaction in buying.

Thus, get your priorities straight so that you are very clear of what you are anticipating. Likewise, the realtor will introduce you to villas for sale near you in Frisco which are for your liking.
