The senior official passed away on Monday morning at Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran, where a large number of Tehrani citizens suffering from the disease are hospitalized.

Born in 1948 in Qom, Mr. Mohammadi was a member of the sixth and seventh Iranian parliaments.

He had been appointed by Iran’s Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as a member of the Expediency Discernment Council since August 2017.

He was also a nephew of senior cleric Ayatollah Shobeiri Zanjani, and his mother – the cleric’s sister – had earlier died of the same disease.

Before Mirmohammadi, Iran’s former ambassador to Vatican, Hadi Khosroshahi, had died of COVID-19.

Syrian Army Announces Closure of Airspace over Northwest

The warning came as tensions mount between Damascus and Ankara over the Syrian Idlib region. 

The Syrian army says it has closed the airspace over the northwest, and will consider as a hostile target any aircraft entering the area. 

It has accused Turkey of carrying out hostile acts against Syrian government forces by targeting them in Idlib and supporting terror groups there. 

The announcement came after Syria’s official news agency said two of its warplanes had been shot down by Turkish forces inside northwest Syria.

SANA says the jets were targeted over the Idlib region, and that the four pilots ejected with parachutes and landed safely.

Turkey’s Defense Ministry said it had shot down two SU-24 aircraft and destroyed air defense systems after one of its aerial drones was downed by the Syrian army over Idlib. 

The two neighbours have been at odds over the region for over a month now. 

The tensions escalated on Thursday when a Syrian airstrike killed at least 30 Turkish soldiers in Idlib. The Turkish military, in reation, launched a drone attack on Saturday night and killed 26 Syrian soldiers.

Iranian Magnum Opus Artwork Put Up for Online Sale

The masterpiece has been created by Master Hosseini in a 10-year period from 2003 to 2013.

The design of the “Growth Tableau” is based on a painting by Master Mahmoud Farshchian. The wood used is the pear tree wood. Pear tree wood has a very high density and very low colour streaks, which shows the workloads in a closed form.

The philosophy of the picture, as its name implies, is growth and life. In this tableau everything has grown from soil to reach evolution.

The woman carved on the surface of the painting symbolises the human being and her feet have roots in the soil. The deer she cares about has its feet rooted in the soil as well, but the Simorgh seated on his right hand connects her to the heavens.

Once the carving was finished in 2013, professional polishing was started with small files. After 11 months (approximately 2,700 working hours) professional and final polishing was finished.

At the Dubai auction in 2015 the reserve price for this work was 430,000 USD.

Those interested in buying the artwork can send their bids to [email protected].

The jury, presided by British actor Jeremy Irons, picked There Is No Evil, directed by Mohammad Rasoulof, as the winner of the Golden Bear in the main competition section of the festival.

The cast of the 150-minute film includes Shaghayegh Shourian, Kaveh Ahangar, Mahtab Servati, Mohammad Valizadegan, Mohammad Seddighimehr, Jila Shahi, Baran Rasoulof, Alireza Zareparast, Salar Khamseh, and Darya Moghbeli.

By winning the top award at the Berlin International Film Festival, There Is No Evil joined the other Iranian films receiving prizes in the festival, such as “Still Life” directed by Sohrab Shahid-Saless which had won the Silver Bear in 1974, or “A Separation” written and directed by Asghar Farhadi that won the Golden Bear in 2011.

The Berlin International Film Festival, usually called the Berlinale, was founded in in 1951 in a city divided into two parts. The festival soon became a venue for cultural interaction, film criticism and discussion on social subjects.

US Has No Legal Position to Sign Afghan Peace Deal: Iran

US Has No Legal Position to Sign Afghan Peace Deal: Iran

In a statement on Sunday, March 1, 2020, the Iranian Foreign Ministry highlighted its standpoint on peace in Afghanistan as well as an agreement reached by the US and the Taliban in that regard.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes lasting peace will be established in Afghanistan only through inter-Afghan talks attended by the country’s political groups, including the Taliban, while taking into account the consideration of Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries,” read the statement.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes any development that would contribute to peace and stability in Afghanistan, and backs any Afghan-led efforts in that regard,” it added.

The statement also lashed out at the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan is illegal and is one of the key contributors to war and insecurity in the country,” read the statement.

“The pullout of these forces is a prelude to achieving peace and security in Afghanistan, and any move that sets the stage for the withdrawal of these troops will contribute to [the establishment of] peace in that country,” the statement added.

In an apparent reference to a so-called peace deal inked between Washington and the Taliban in the Qatari capital, Doha, the statement lambasted Washington’s attempts to maintain its military presence in Afghanistan.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran regards the United States’ moves as an effort to legitimize the presence of its troops in Afghanistan, and is opposed to such moves,” read part of the statement.

“The US has no legal position to sign a peace deal or to decide the future situation of Afghanistan,” it noted.

“We believe the United Nations enjoys good potential to facilitate inter-Afghan negotiations as well as to monitor and guarantee the implementation of the agreements reached,” read the statement.

“While respecting the territorial sovereignty and integrity of Afghanistan, and in line with its national security strategy, the Islamic Republic of Iran stands ready to offer any help to establish peace, stability and security in Afghanistan,” it added.

“We hope a government will take office in Afghanistan that will establish cordial and brotherly relations with its neighbours and will be able to uproot terrorism,” read the statement.

Iranian Scientists Produce World-Class Coronavirus Kits

20-Minute COVID-19 Test

The company is capable of producing 100 to 150 kits per day.
Ali Gholami, the CEO of the company, says “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.

After the virus entered the country, a sample of it was received in RNA format from Imam Reza (AS) Laboratory in Arak. We performed the necessary procedures and then tested it with the company’s kit. Fortunately the result was positive, underlined Gholami.

“We now only need to compare the production kit with the imported kits that are used in medical centres. The cost of our manufactured kit is one-third of the one purchased by the Ministry of Health,” he concluded.
