Iran Make Positive Start to 2022 World Cup Qualifiers

Following the opening four fixtures, they are sitting third in the group behind Iraq and Bahrain.

However, they do have a game in hand on both of them, so have a solid chance to draw points back to each side. They sit three points behind Bahrain and five behind group leaders Iraq at present.

Iran started the group stages as one of the favourites in the sports betting markets to gain progression. The opening fixture saw them take on Hong Kong in the Honk Kong stadium. It turned out to be an easy night for the visitors, with Iran winning the match 2-0. Azmoun put them ahead in the opening period of the match, before Ansarifard then guaranteed the three points with a goal early in the second half.

Iran then picked up a second consecutive victory in qualification, with a remarkable 14-0 home victory against Cambodia. This was a very impressive attacking display with seven different scorers on the night. Karim Ansarifard scored four, with Sardar Azmoun also netting a hat-trick.

Next up for Iran was a difficult away trip to take on Bahrain in the Bahrain National stadium. It was a close game throughout but it was the home side who took the victory and the three points, following converting a second half penalty. This loss instantly put some pressure on Iran moving into their next fixture.

Iran then had another difficult away trip, as they travelled to take on Iraq inside the Amman International stadium. This turned out to be a very frustrating night for Iran as they were beaten 2-1.

The home side had taken an early lead, before Iran responded in the first half. The game then appeared to be heading for a draw, before Masoud Shojaei saw red for Iran and the home side then picked up a late 92nd minute winner. This meant two losses in a row for Iran and much pressure on them to now get back to winning ways and push their chances of qualification.

Iran now have five games left to finish qualification, with the first being a home fixture against Hong Kong. They then travel to Cambodia and will be expected to win both of these games. Iran will then finish with three home fixtures against Bahrain, Oman and Iraq. They will be hoping the home advantage can help and will also be expected to gain that World Cup spot for 2020.

Iran Official Calls for People’s Massive Turnout in Elections

In remarks about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s stances on the latest regional developments, particularly the situation in Syria, Mahmoud Vaezi said on Monday, “Iran has always pushed for peace and security in the region, and has emphasized that a solution to the Syria crisis would be achieved through political dialogue by relying on the consultations and negotiations it has held with the regional countries.”

He said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has highlighted the importance of political settlement of the crisis in Syria during the recent conversations with the presidents of Russia and Turkey.

“In these talks (with Putin and Erdogan), our country’s president has also expressed Iran’s readiness to host a summit of Iran, Russia and Turkey for the establishment of peace and stability in Syria,” Vaezi added.

The Iranian President’s Chief of Staff also hailed the successful results of the Astana Process in recent years in reducing the tensions in Syria, adding, “The Islamic Republic of Iran regards the Astana Process as highly significant and stresses on the continuation of the process.”

“Iran by no means considers its cooperation with the friendly countries for helping Syria as a replacement for the Astana Process,” Vaezi underscored, calling for concerted efforts to restore peace and stability to Syria via the Astana Process.

‘Smiling Challenge’ to Combat Coronavirus Going Viral in Iran

The coronavirus smile challenge seeks to dispel grief and despair and inject hope into citizens’ minds.

More than ten days on since the coronavirus set foot in Iran, the uninvited guest has broken into 60 countries so far.

After the disease broke out in Iran, the government mobilized all its resources to combat the virus. A national committee chaired by the health minister was also set up to tackle the epidemic. The committee is working round the clock, planning to combat the disease.

‘Smiling Challenge’ to Combat Coronavirus Going Viral in IranThe phrase “home quarantine” could sound frightening at first. However, Iranians, who are known for their sense of humour across the world, made “home quarantine” the subject of many jokes, which one can see by visiting social media.

Meanwhile, many citizens who have stayed indoors to keep the coronavirus at bay, have launched a “smiling challenge” in social media, especially on Instagram, to combat the disease and remind people that “Laughter is the best medicine.”

What is the #Smile Challenge?

The challenge invites us to post on Instagram a photo showing us smiling, and then tag our friends and ask them to post a similar photo of theirs on their Instagram page, and also to ask their friends, too, to accept the challenge and follow suit. That would increase the number of photos which show people smiling, which could be replaced by disappointing news that we read every day.

‘Smiling Challenge’ to Combat Coronavirus Going Viral in IranA large number of ordinary people as well as celebrities have joined the challenge. Some members of parliament have also jumped on the bandwagon.

Nevertheless, some have criticized the move, arguing that it shows indifference toward, and ignorance of the problems gripping the society.

All that said, the challenge is one which has emerged from the hearts of people. Although it cannot be an antitoxin against the coronavirus, the challenge can tackle the widespread disappointment which has gripped most of the population.

Iran Starts Phase Two of National Campaign against COVID-19

Speaking in a televised interview with the CNBC news channel on Monday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the organization, said the WHO’s fact-checking mechanisms have not found any concrete proof that Iran had been covering up the severity of the epidemic.

Asked about the media hype revolving around Iran and accusing the country of covering up the severity of the new coronavirus epidemic, the WHO chief said, “I wouldn’t frame any country without any reason or without having any fact.”

“There are reports that come from the media… but this is the WHO, you know, this is a technical organization and should check the facts. We cannot say what journalists say,” he added.

“I say if we followed journalists’ reports, whether it’s well done or not, then where we end.”

He concluded by saying, “That’s why we have our own mechanism and from our own mechanism we haven’t seen that, but if we see, then of course we should address it.”

The virus that emerged in the central city of Wuhan in China’s Hubei Province late last year has so far claimed more than 3,000 lives worldwide.

In Iran, it has claimed 66 lives and infected 1,501 others, 291 of whom have recovered.

Iranian medical officials have assured that the country will contain the outbreak, noting that the condition of most of the patients diagnosed with the virus has improved.

The country has mobilized all its resources to confront the disease, with the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s Army being the latest to join the campaign Sunday.

Iran has, meanwhile, announced the closure of schools and universities throughout the upcoming days, and health centers have been tasked with distributing protective items, such as facemasks, among the public.
