The death toll has also increased to 107, 15 of whom died in the past 24 hours.

The 3,513 confirmed cases so far include in 1,352 in Tehran, 386 in Qom, 333 in Gilan, 238 in Isfahan, 180 in Markazi, and 173 in Alborz, 121 in Mazandaran, 111 in Qazvin, 89 in Khorasan Razavi, 68 in Fars, 65 in East Azarbaijan, 63 in Khuzestan, 60 in Semnan, 37 in Golestan, 30 in Lorestan, 26 in Ardabil, 22 in Kermanshah, 19 in Sistan and Baluchestan, 18 in Kerman, 18 in Kurdistan, 16 in Hamadan, 15 in South Khorasan, 15 in Zanjan, 13 in Hormozgan, 11 in Ilam, 10 in West Azarbaijan, 9 in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, 7 in Yazd, 3 in Bushehr (all new cases), 3 in North Khorasan, 2 in Kohgiliyeh and Buyer-Ahmad.

Iran Urges India to Resolve Citizenship Law Issue Peacefully

Iran Urges India to Resolve Citizenship Law Issue Peacefully

Expressing concern over recent violence against Muslims in India, Ali Larijani said India is a land of various races, languages, religions, and cultures and such moves are incompatible with the Indian culture and civilization.

“Th new law, called the Citizenship Law, in India imposes restrictions for Muslims and this has raised concerns,” noted Larijani.

“Muslims are part of the Indian culture and society and play an important role in the development of this country.”

Larijani further pointed to the importance of relations between India and Iran and called for the strengthening of dialogue and coexistence of all religions in India.

India has been the scene of protests and clashes since early December, when the Indian parliament passed a new nationality law that many Muslims see as a threat to their status as equal citizens.

The law gives a special track to Indian citizenship to immigrants from surrounding countries—but only if the applicants are Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, Jain, or Christian. Critics say that the law is a blatant attempt by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to implement his vision of a Hindu-dominated state, shore up support among the non-Muslim majority, and whip up sectarian tensions.

Critics also say that Modi is using the law—and the conflict it has unleashed—to distract from other issues, including a worsening economy that grew at the slowest pace in more than six years during the final quarter of 2019.

Heat-Resistant Fabric with Military Application Made in Iran

Heat-Resistant Fabric with Military Application Made in Iran

Researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company with expertise in nanotechnology have manufactured an advanced thermal insulator in collaboration with a group of chemistry engineers.

The Iranian inventors have adapted the thermal insulator to produce heat-resistant fabrics capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 1,500 degrees Celsius.

The advanced nanofabrics are so resistant and effectual that have been used to produce flame-resistant cloth which has also passed tests for application in the military industries.

The Iranian company is also producing aerogel granules with sizes in a range of 5-15 mm. The silica granules synthesized by the company are fully transparent, transmit 70 percent of sunlight, are highly hydrophilic, and have a contact angle of more than 150 degrees.

The aerogel blankets have a broad range of application and are among the best thermal, acoustic and moisture insulators across the world.

The aerogel blankets manufactured by the Iranian knowledge-based company have high quality in terms of thermal, acoustic and moisture insulation and their thermal resistance is at least four times higher than the best commercial insulators available in the market.

The company’s transparent aerogel blankets can be utilized in temperatures between minus 200 and 300 degrees Celsius. The insulator can also resist temperatures as high as 1,500 degrees C without burning or melting.

The aerogel blankets allow for the insulation of cold and hot pipes with the lowest possible thickness. The technological product can be also utilized in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, in fractionating columns, reactors, power lines, construction of buildings, furnaces, flame-resistance cloth, military industries and aircraft manufacturing.

Researchers at the Iranian company are now working on a flame-resistant fabric that is only 3 mm thick, but can withstand a temperature of 2,500 degrees Celsius. The new fabric has passed tests for application in the military industries.

National Campaign to Fight Coronavirus in Iran Getting Underway

National Campaign to Fight Coronavirus in Iran Getting Underway

The move comes within framework of an agreement between the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and the Basij-e-Mostazafin Organization.
“We have prepared all our health-treatment resources and specialist personnel to further promote this holy campaign on a large scale and within the desired geographical scope under the supervision of medical schools,” said Brigadier General Gholam-Reza Soleimani, the head of the organization in a meeting with Minister of Health and Medical Education Saeid Namaki.
“We will launch the campaign from certain specific points in cooperation with the health ministry,” he said.
The health minister, in turn, highlighted the concerted effort to tackle the virus.
He said a plan is underway to launch an organized nationwide campaign to stem the spread of the coronavirus. He said those suspected of having contracted the disease will be invited through different systems and phone calls to visit health centers across the country for checkups.

Anti-Coronavirus Drug Made in Iran, Currently in Clinical Procedures: Official

Anti-Coronavirus Drug Made in Iran, Currently in Clinical Procedures

Alireza Jalali has told Fars News Agency that the research centre has received clinical trial authorisation from the Food and Drug Organization of Iran to begin the studies quickly.
Nearly 3,000 people have already been infected with the deadly virus across Iran and nearly 100 have lost their lives due to the outbreak so far.
Earlier, researchers at a knowledge-based company based in Iran’s Lorestan province had succeeded in developing coronavirus detection kit.
Ali Gholami, the CEO of the company, said “before the outbreak of Coronavirus in the country, and after its genome was put in the US database, the production of the kit started.”
He also added that the corona detection kit was designed and manufactured based on world-class standards.
“The scientists at the company have developed and synthesized a piece of the virus genome in a simulated manner. The kit responds very well,” noted Gholami.

‘Iran Has Strong Reasons for Not Responding to IAEA Groundless Questions’

'Iran Has Strong Reasons for Not Responding to IAEA Groundless Questions'

Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), made the remarks in reaction to the IAEA’s recent claim that Tehran is not cooperating with the nuclearc watchdog.

“On Tuesday, the IAEA presented two reports: one on issues pertaining to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and the other is about a subject which is a bone of contention between us and the agency,” he said.

“Our atomic activities are completely clear and transparent,” he added.

“[Reports on] enrichment, different types of centrifuges, and research and development on heavy water are in fact the same regular reports published by the IAEA every three months based on the agreement reached in the JCPOA,” added the spokesman.

“But as for the other issue which has long been a point of argument between us and the agency, it has been there since the tenure of late [Yukiya] Amano,” Kamalvandi said.
“Even during his tenure, we said it loud and clear that we cannot discuss information about issues which are ambiguous,” he added.

“We had some considerations regarding some demands and access that the agency has asked for; these considerations have been legal, and we have always insisted on them,” he added.

“For example, the IAEA has demanded some information about certain locations which they have called ‘sites’ while they are not sites because a ‘site’ has its own definition,” Kamalvandi noted.

He said the IAEA’s demand for information must have “legal grounds.”

“A site is a place where nuclear activities are conducted,” he said.

“What is certain is that the country has some duties based on the Safeguards Agreement and the Additional Protocol, and fulfills those duties to the letter,” he said.

“All 16 reports about the JCPOA released so far completely confirm that we have lived up to our commitments well,” said the spokesman.

He underlined that even during the time when Amano was in office, it seemed that the US and Israel were pressuring the IAEA to take advantage of the agency.

The spokesman noted that the agency is not authorized to raise any questions and demand any access

He said part of the issues raised is just media hype, adding IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi is unlikely to have made the remarks because he is not in a political position and he just has a legal status.

Two Projects Launched in Iran to Produce Coronavirus Diagnostics Kits

20-Minute COVID-19 Test

These projects have already been approved, and the result of the studies will be mass-produced.
“With the help of biotechnology and innovation we will defeat Corona” is the title of a call by the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology to take a major step to tackle Corona.
Mass production of the two knowledge-based kit models is one of these measures.
Mostafa Qanei, Secretary of Biotechnology Development Headquarters of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, says following the release of this call, four basic knowledge-based projects were submitted to the Secretariat and two were selected to produce the corona diagnostic kit. These projects will soon reach mass production stage and enter the market.
However, these plans must first be approved by the Food and Drug Organization of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and then companies must mass produce the kits within a week.
These diagnostic kits are expected to enter the market at a large scale and at an affordable price as soon as possible, and be available to hospitals as well.
“These diagnostic kits are not available in the country either, but they have begun to study in this area,” said Qanei.
These kits can identify infected people to start their quarantine process. Therefore, they can prevent the disease from spreading to other people, and we have put measures in place.
It is worth noting that this call is to bring together eco-tech activists and is a powerful and synergistic step in helping people and society fight the new Corona virus. It also helps empower the knowledge-based companies and startups.

Production of Corona Drug for Patients with Mild Symptoms

Qanei also announced the experimental production of medicines for the coronavirus by two Iranian knowledge-based companies for patients who were mildly involved.
“There are treatment protocols in the country and there is a lot of discussion about suspects, but now two companies have offered products that can be used to treat people through medicines manufactured in these companies.”
“There are two types of patients right now. The first have fever with positive corona test and the second have mild symptoms with positive corona test,” he said.
The drug produced is able to eliminate the disease agents from patients with mild symptoms of coronavirus, thus preventing the chance of the disease being transmitted to healthy people.
He stressed that mass production of these drugs is subject to the approval of the Ethics Committee and if approved, the testing of the drug will begin.
It is a compound of several herbal remedies that is prescribed to people with suspected coronavirus. It will have the least side effects for these patients.

Iran Slams Bahrain’s Irresponsibility on Repatriation of Nationals

Iran Condemns Expansion of EU, US Sanctions on Syria

In a statement on Wednesday, Mousavi highlighted the measures adopted and the arrangements made by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to repatriate the foreign citizens to their respective countries within the framework of the precautionary and preventive actions in the face of the coronavirus outbreak.

“While many regional countries took action to take back their citizens in cooperation with our country’s officials, sadly the government of Bahrain has not done anything to take back its citizens despite the readiness of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran for cooperation, and has not either accepted the proposals put forward by certain parties,” he explained.

Slamming the Bahraini government’s irresponsible behaviour towards its nationals, Mousavi said, “At present, around 1,300 Bahraini citizens who have come to Iran for pilgrimage and tourism have had to have a long and unwanted stay in Iran because the Bahraini government has neglected to address their situation.”

The spokesperson finally reaffirmed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s commitment to the framework of humanitarian behaviour in addressing the status of the Bahraini citizens, expressed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ readiness for any cooperation with Bahrain with the purpose of helping those individuals return to their own country, and held the Bahraini government accountable for any consequences of a delay in this regard.
