Researchers Develop Nano-Paste to Stop Bleeding

Thanks to its antimicrobial activity, this product can prevent bleeding with high efficiency and stop bleeding in less than a minute.

The company has produced the paste using nano-hydroxyapatite. “One of the benefits of this product is the use of nanostructured carbonate nano-hydroxyapatite,” said Maliheh Baqeri, a researcher at the project, adding that “the structure of the paste is based on nanohydroxyapatite and bioglass.”

“Its carbonation is very similar to the bony and dental structures of the body and is therefore very biocompatible. Also, the nanopores present in this product increase its specific surface area, which itself increases the scope of application of this material.

“This product is licensed by the Food and Drug Organisation and is currently being purchased by a company to produce toothpaste,” she said, noting that the produced carbonate nano-hydroxyapatite powder produced has a variety of uses.

“New wound dressings, bleeding stoppers and nano-silver based disinfectants are among our knowledge-based products, and we are currently producing 80 knowledge-based products that are exported to 15 European countries,” she concluded.

By Killing Al-Baghdadi, US Killed Its Own Creature: Iran

“Not a big deal. You just killed your creature,” Azari Jahromi tweeted on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump said al-Baghdadi had blown himself up, dying “like a dog,” and “like a coward” after American forces trapped him inside a dead-end tunnel.

He said the Daesh ringleader detonated his suicide vest while “crying and whimpering” during an overnight raid by American special ops forces in Syria.

An official at the Russian Ministry of Defense said following Trump’s announcement that Moscow had no reliable information on the US operation that killed al-Baghdadi

“The Russian Ministry of Defense does not have reliable information on the US servicemen conducting in the Turkish-controlled part of the de-escalation zone of Idlib an operation on yet another ‘elimination’ of the former IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” Major-General Igor Konashenkov was quoted by RIA news agency as saying.

Iranian Knowledge-Based Firms Combatting Sanctions Minister

In an address to an academic meeting in the city of Hamedan, Gholami said the Iranian university professors and students have established scientific and technological groups as well as knowledge-based companies to help the country deal with the sanctions.

The minister said the local knowledge-based companies have signed contracts to make up for the shortcomings caused by the foreign sanctions, saying they have been manufacturing various industrial parts and developing the essential software.

Highlighting Iran’s advances in the industrial sector, Gholami said 43 science and technology parks and 197 development centres are operating across the country under the aegis of the Science Ministry.

Iran’s success to employ science and technology for addressing its problems has been so considerable that Iran has been ranked first among the Muslim nations in the region, the minister added.

In comments in August, Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari said there were around 4,500 knowledge-based companies in Iran which have created 300,000 direct jobs alone.

He had already hailed the knowledge-based companies as the strong arm of the economy that contribute to Iran’s sustainable development.

‘New US Regulations to Aggravate Economic Terror against Iran’

“Contrary to its deceptive claims, new US regulations will aggravate #EconomicTerrorism on ordinary Iranians,” Zarif said in a post on his official Twitter account.

The Iranian foreign minister pointed to earlier claims by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said in November last year that it is in Iran’s best interests to toe the line and listen to Washington or else its people will pay the price.

“@SecPompeo voiced his delusion that Iranian people must bow to US “if they want to eat”. Now, @USTreasury is targeting not merely food but also our imports of medicine,” the top Iranian diplomat said.

Pompeo told BBC Persian that Iranian officials have to “make a decision that they want their people to eat.”

Later in January, the US secretary of state said Washington’s tough sanctions against the Islamic Republic were aimed at giving the Iranian people a chance to have better lives.

“The sanctions on Iran have this ultimate goal: creating an outcome where the Iranian people can have better lives than they have today,” Pompeo told Newsmax TV.

On Friday, the US Treasury Department announced that it had decided to facilitate sales of food and medicine to Iran.

The department said it had created a new humanitarian mechanism to ensure shipments of food and medicine can continue to be delivered to Iran, adding it would allow “permissible trade” to support the Iranian people while maintaining its “maximum pressure” policy against the Iranian government.

In a meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the 74th session of the General Assembly in New York in September, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani slammed the United Nations for keeping mum on the crimes the US has been committing against the Iranian nation through the economic terrorism campaign, calling on the world body to break the silence and shoulder its responsibilities.

Referring to Washington’s harsh campaign of economic pressure and sanctions against the Islamic Republic, the president said “an aggressor government is committing all these crimes against an entire nation, while the UN has remained tight-lipped.” He added that this “shame will remain in history.”

Iran-Eurasia Preferential Trade Deal Goes into Effect

The two sides launched preferential trade on 826 items of goods on October 27, 2019.

Of that number, 360 include commodities on which Iran has granted preferential tariffs to Eurasia, and 502 are goods on which the EEC has offered Iran preferential tariffs.

“The above-said agreement is a starting point for free trade with Eurasia because after one year has passed since the start of the enforcement of the deal, the stage will be set for free trade with the above-mentioned region, and the two sides will have two years to hold talks on free trade in that region,” said Hamid Zadboom, the head of the Iran Trade Development Organization, in an interview with Fars News Agency.

“Of course, that does not mean that we will definitely have free trade with this region after three years, but the necessary arrangements can be made during that period for free trade with Eurasia,” he added.

The Iranian commodities exported to Eurasia mainly include pistachios, kiwi fruit, gas oil, sultanas, cucumbers and pickled cucumbers, dates, medicines, hydraulic cement, refined copper, methanol and cabbage. The items that Iran imports from Eurasia mostly include barely, corn used as cattle feed, raw oil, cathodes and relevant parts, ironware items less than 2 millimetres thick, sawed pine wood and roll paper for newspapers.

The economic indicators of Eurasia include the first spot in oil extraction (14.5% of the global amount), the first spot in natural gas production (20.2% of global output), the fourth spot in generating electricity (4.9% of global production), fourth spot in iron production (4.7 % of global output), and the fifth spot in steel production (5% of global output).

Iran’s preferential trade agreement with the EEC is reportedly the most elaborate and comprehensive deal that Iran has signed so far and contains 9 chapters including general rules as well as regulations on trade and relevant topics.

The open-air stone works of Persepolis face threats of spreading lichens and eradication from periodic moisture that many experts believe that is impossible to eradicate.

Persepolis boasts extensive structures, including monumental staircases, exquisite reliefs and imposing gateways as one of the great wonders of the ancient world.

Iraq Suspends Saudi Broadcasters for Breaking Rules

Al-Hadath announced on Saturday that its activities along with those of Al Arabiya have been suspended amid renewed anti-government protests.

“The Iraqi government suspends the work of Al-Hadath and Al Arabiya,” Al-Hadath TV said on its news ticker while it carried footage of the protests.

Thousands of Iraqis returned to the streets in the capital Baghdad and across the south over the last two days, defying curfews and violence that has left over 60 dead.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, has ordered counter-terrorism forces to deploy in Baghdad and use all necessary measures to end the protests.

In the meantime, Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called on the government to accommodate the protesters’ demands as soon as possible.

On Saturday night, members of his Sairoon bloc escalated the situation. The bloc said they had begun an open-ended “sit-in, until the enactment of all reforms the Iraqi people are demanding.”

The move has put Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi under more pressure than ever as Sairoon was one of the two main sponsors of his government.

He faced relentless protests on Friday despite efforts in Baghdad and across the south to clamp down on them.

Late Saturday, street lights were turned off around Baghdad’s Tahrir (Liberation) square, plunging protesters clinging onto their positions there into darkness.

Witnesses said security forces were unleashing volleys of tear gas to clear the crowds, each canister lighting up the smoke-filled square with flashes of light.

Explosions could be heard from the square well past midnight.

Iraq has repeatedly warned about infiltrators among the protesters who try to derail the demonstration from its peaceful path.

The offender was ordered by the court to supply food for wild animals during the cold season.

“The judge at Branch 101 of Criminal Court II of the town of Firuzkkuh ruled that the offender provide 500 kilogrammes of fodder monthly for wild animals during the cold season for a period of two years and also clean litter from the protected area under the supervision of the Department of the Environment of the town of Firuzkuh,” said the department.

“Late last year, this poacher hunted a wild ewe in nature in the town of Firuzkuh, and was arrested by local rangers,” the department added.

“The issuance of such rulings is a deterrent against poaching and will also improve offenders’ environmental culture,” said the environment.

ISIS Ringleader Believed to Be Killed in US Operation in Syria

Trump in a press conference confirmed that the ISIS leader was killed overnight in an operation by American forces in Syria.

Trump made a statement at 2pm CET hour after tweeting: “Something very big has just happened!”

A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, earlier told Reuters Baghdadi was targeted in the overnight raid but was unable to say whether the operation was successful.

A commander of one of the militant factions in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib said Baghdadi was believed to have been killed in a raid after midnight on Saturday involving helicopters, warplanes and a ground clash in the village of Brisha near the Turkish border.

Two Iraqi security sources said they had received confirmation from inside Syria that Baghdadi had been killed. Reuters also reported that the assault had taken place in Idlib, northern Syria, as the militant leader had been trying to flee the country with his family.

It is not the first time that Baghdadi, who rose from obscurity to become the leader of ISIS has been reported killed five years since he declared the foundation of a ‘Caliphate’ in Iraq and Syria from the pulpit of Mosul’s Grand Mosque.

In April 2019, the reclusive leader served to quash rumours of his death in a video that showed him sitting on a cushion with an assault rifle, and calling for the continuation of jihad. It came after ISIS had been all but defeated in Syria and Iraq.

His death overnight on Saturday was first reported by Newsweek, which cited a US official saying that the White House had high confidence that the person killed was Baghdadi and that DNA and biometric testing was now underway to be sure.

Iran Condemns US Oil Deal with Syrian Kurdish Group

In a statement on Saturday, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said Iran is sensitively and carefully monitoring the situation in Iraq.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran supports the Iraqi people’s demands and requests, which have been clearly highlighted in the statements and remarks from the Iraqi religious authorities and Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi,” the Iranian spokesperson added.

He further expressed deep regret at the recent incidents that have killed and injured tens of people and caused damages to public property in Iraq, at the attempts to take advantage of the public demands, and at the escalation of violence in the Arab country.

“We are confident that the Iraqi government, nation and religious authorities will be able to overcome the problems and work on the prosperity of Iraq through solidarity,” Mousavi noted.

“Since the formation of new Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been always a supporter of the Iraqi government and nation, and has offered its capacities to the friendly, brotherly and neighboring state, Iraq, at delicate junctures,” he underlined.

Iraqi people held protests in a number of cities on Saturday, as security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators who tried to reach Baghdad’s Green Zone, home to government offices and embassies.
Officials say at least six protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces on Saturday, pushing the overall death toll in this month’s anti-government protests to more than 190.
