According to a Farsi report by ISNA, Iranian researchers at the University of Tehran’s Science and Technology Park developed a purifying anti-pollution mask, made of nanomaterial and active carbon, which absorbs the dust and toxic gas emissions with an efficiency ratio of 99%.

“The best respiratory masks in Iran hadn’t been more efficient than 98%,” said Mohammad-Mahdi Shirmohammadi, the executive manager of the project.

“Therefore, we started the ‘FPP3 Respiratory Masks Production’ project.”

He explained that this mask helps the users breathe easily thanks to its structure; plus, it is able to filter the toxic emissions and polluting gases in a high rate.

“This product is able to protect the users against chemical gases such as CO and CO2,” he added, noting that the mask filter can be also used in car cabins and house air conditioners, as well as in professions with acutely polluted environment such as cement, steel and petrochemical industries.

“These masks are already being exported to Iraq and Persian Gulf countries,” Shirmohammadi announced, mentioning that 7,000 masks are produced a day now; a number that will increase to 20,000 based on the production plan.

The federation will hold the country’s first snow volleyball competition in association with Austrian agency Chaka2, which is the agency responsible for creating and organizing the Snow Volleyball Tour, FIVB reported.

The two-day event starts on Sunday, February 12, with 10 teams competing with each other in two groups.

Religious Minorities Can Improve Iran's Global Image: Minister
Iran's Intelligence Minister Seyyed Mahmoud Alavi

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Mahmoud Alawi said the ministry forces managed to identify and foil a plot by Takfiri groups to disrupt celebrations marking the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

During the operation, carried out on February 3-9, a secret network of terrorists was identified and 8 of its key members were arrested near Tehran and in some western and eastern provinces of the country, he said.

All of those arrested were non-Iranian nationals and some of them had links with a ringleader of a Takfiri group who has recently been killed, the minister noted.

He added that the Takfiri elements had plotted to carry out suicide terrorist attacks in Tehran and a number of other cities under direct command of individuals stationed in certain neighboring countries.

Alawi went on to say that the operation revealed hidden aspects of the coordination between the Islamic Establishment’s hegemonic enemies and their Takfiri mercenaries.

On Friday, Iran’s Prosecutor General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri first revealed news of the arrests.

Millions of people in capital Tehran, more than 1,000 other cities and towns, and in 4,000 villages, poured into the streets on Friday to swear allegiance with the Islamic Republic Establishment.

The nationwide rallies were held without any security problems or incidents.

Iran’s Leader Blames US and Europe’s Interference for Middle East Crises

Leader-Swedish Prime Minister

Speaking in a meeting with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven in Tehran on Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei said the interference of certain big powers is the root cause of the existing issues in the Middle East.

“The US and many European powers have played a role in the creation of bitter events in Syria and Iraq and the regional nations, well aware of such meddling, truly hold a negative view of them,” the Leader noted, Press TV reported.

The Leader referred to the move by the ambassadors of some Western countries to meet Syria’s opposition groups and “generously providing them with weapons” at the beginning of the Arab country’s conflicts as an example of such foreign interference.

Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to improving situation in Iraq and stated that the Syrian issue can also be solved “but it requires an end to support for terrorism and warmongering.”

Leader

Current Level of Tehran-Stockholm Ties Far Below Existing Potentials

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader said Iran and Sweden have great potential to improve cooperation, adding that Tehran welcomes enhanced relations with Stockholm in all fields.

Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the current level of mutual relations is far below the two countries’ capacities and noted that the Iranian nation maintains a positive view of Sweden which would prepare an appropriate ground for the strengthening of cooperation.

The Leader also referred to Iran’s vote for Sweden’s membership in the United Nations Security Council, saying that the Security Council is a major capacity that, unfortunately, has been crippled by some big powers, Tasnim reported.

However, the Leader said, playing a constructive role can help to prevent employment of double standards by the council.

He added that his country would make efforts to implement the agreements signed by the two countries to improve bilateral relations.
