Hashemi was arrested in St Louis airport on January 13 while she was on a regular visit to the US to see her family and an ailing brother.

The order said that Hashemi was arrested on “a material arrest warrant” in a case in Washington, without elaborating further on the case.

Hashemi had attended her first court session the same day.

It is unknown why the judge has ordered her arrest and on what alleged evidence.

Iran has asked the US to free the senior journalist immediately.

“The Israeli regime is moving in the direction of tyranny and oppression, and will have no fate but annihilation,” Ali-Akbar Salehi said in a Sunday ceremony in Tehran.

The ceremony, called “Gaza, the Symbol of Resistance”, focused on the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian nation, and the oppressed people’s struggle against the Tel Aviv regime during the past decades.

Salehi also highlighted the efforts made by the Islamic Republic of Iran to contribute to these struggles, saying that the 1979 Revolution of Iran managed to help Palestinian resistance forces get on the right track and even revive Islam for them.

He further noted that “the golden key to the region is in the hands of Iran.”

Salehi, who is also the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said Iran is a developing country and enjoys a lofty status in terms of international relations.

He noted that the AEOI is the symbol of the country’s power and dignity and is in a position where it is engaged in a major challenge with world powers.

“At one side of the table sit the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, and on the other side of the table sits the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Salehi.

He also said the Iranian nation has a very bright future ahead.

The proceeds from selling the foods cooked by those who have given up drug addiction will be used to improve their own lives as well as an association tasked with helping drug addicts give up their addiction.

“Most of them gave up drug addiction more than six months ago, and these programs and participation in the association’s activities help them both earn a living and not turn to drug addiction again. Apparently, the appearance of the individuals and the quality of their foods are completely like those of a professional catering business. The people who work here are all those who have given up drug addiction and range in age between 20 to 60,” said the organiser.

Bahram Qassemi dismissed the claim that an Afghan-German national has been apprehended on charges of spying for Iran, rejecting that the alleged person has had any connection with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“We are not surprised to hear such news amid baseless accusations fabricated by those who seek to ruin Iran-Europe relations at this important and sensitive juncture,” said Qassemi.

“We have said it time and again that there are some people who are opposed to the age-old relations between Iran and many European countries, especially the European parties to the JCPOA, people who spare no effort to press charges and make allegations in order to strain these ties,” Qassemi added.
