Iran ‘s Health Minister Saeed Namaki has issued an emergency permit to use COV-Iran Barakat in the current vaccination of the population.
Speaking to Iranian state TV on Sunday night, Health Minister Saeed Namaki issued an emergency permit to use COV-Iran Barakat in the current vaccination of the population.
He also said that the necessary permit to use Iran-Cuba jointly produced COVID vaccine will also be issued as early as next week.
The move comes amid reports of a shortage of vaccines in Iran as the vaccination of elderly aged above 60 is underway.
This is while, Jafar Sadegh Tabrizi, Director General for PHC Network Management at the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Health said on Sunday that the country needs 120,000,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines. He also said that a new shipment of vaccines containing a million doses will enter the country in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Head of Iran’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Mohammad-Reza Shanesaz, said Sunday the Iranian citizens who have been injected with a foreign-made coronavirus vaccine might be injected with an Iranian-made vaccine for their second dose. He assured that the Iranian and foreign-made vaccines are made in the same way and with the same quality.
The National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus in Iran has announced that the second dose of Chinese vaccine will be distributed from Saturday and the second dose of Sputnik V will also be available.
Iranian Sputnik vaccine to be unveiled
Iran’s Health Minister Namaki informed that the Iranian version of the Sputnik Covid-19 vaccine will be unveiled on Sat.
Iranian Minister Masoud Namaki vowed that all Iranians will be vaccinated by the end of Autumn by domestically produced or imported vaccines.
The Spokesman of the Iran Food and Drug Administration (IFDA) said in mid-June that the Islamic Republic of Iran joined the club of manufacturers of coronavirus, COVID-19, vaccine.
In a tweet, Kianoush Jahanpour wrote, “Islamic Republic of Iran joined the coronavirus, COVID-19, vaccine manufacturers’ club by issuing a license for emergency use of COV-Iran Barakat; Iran, Russia, United States, China, UK, and India.”
The Cuban biopharmaceutical corporation BioCubaFarma announced that the Soberana 02 vaccine against COVID-19 has an efficacy of over 60 percent.
“With only 2 doses, #Soberana02 reached 62% efficacy,” BioCubaFarma tweeted on Saturday.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel tweeted that the result has been confirmed by an independent committee with the Instituto Finlay de Vacunas, but the emergency use of the vaccine is yet to be approved by the Cuban regulatory agency CECMED, Sputnik reported.
“The efficacy of #Soberana02, in its two doses, exceeds the requirements of the World Health Organization for a vaccine candidate against #COVID19 to become an effective vaccine, which is 50%,” Diaz-Canel tweeted, adding that data on the three-shot Soberana Plus vaccine will be available soon.
Cuba has developed five promising vaccine candidates: Soberana 01, Soberana 02, Soberana Plus, Mambisa and Abdala. Over 4.3 million people have participated in trials of the Soberana 02 and Abdala vaccines, according to Cuba’s health ministry.

The offshore platform of Phase 16 of southern Iranian South Pars Field has come back to production, according to an official with Pars Oil and Gas Field.
The platform stopped gas excavation a year ago due to damages to parts of its pipelines stretching 110 kilometers on the seabed.
Alireza Ebadi said that the damaged pipelines have been repaired and the platform came back to production on Friday with a capacity of 500 million cubic feet.
In an exclusive interview with IRNA on Oct 20, Managing-Director of the South Pars Field Hadi Hashemzadeh Farhang said that once Iran completes the new phase of South Pars Field, it will outpace Qatar in gas excavation from the shared field by 120 mcm/d.
The official said that Iran finally won the “breathtaking marathon” over gas excavation in the shared field with Qatar.
Now 23 years after the South Pars development project inaugurated, the field, having 12 refineries, has turned into the biggest gas refinery complex of the world.
With the inauguration of phases 2 and 3 in 2001, the field used to produce some 56 mcm/d of gas which has now risen to 700 mcm/d, he added.
He said that what doubles Iran’s achievement in outpacing Qatar in the excavation of gas from the shared field is that only one-third of the area of the field is located within the Iranian territory while the rest two-thirds are in the Qatari waters.
Legendary vocalist master Mohammadreza Shajarian, who was known as Iran’s king of song and once called himself the “son of Iran”, died on Thursday at 80 at Tehran’s Jam Hospital years after suffering from kidney cancer.
It was deeply shocking for his fans
and the Iranian music community when the icon of Persian traditional
music appeared in a video in the early days of Noruz, the celebration of
the Iranian New Year celebration, in March 2016, wishing a happy New
Year for Iranians and announcing that he was suffering from chronic
kidney cancer.
The two-time Grammy Award nominee called
the disease “a 15-year-old guest” that is “friendly” with him and added
that he would soon return to the stage, a dream that would never come
true.
He soon left the country for Sacramento,
California to receive treatment for the disease and returned home in
September that year to resume his medical treatment in the country.
His fans were shocked several times over
the past few years each time they heard that their beloved, highly
popular artist was admitted to the hospital. In post-revolution Iran, no
other artist could capture the hearts and souls of his people as much
as him.
His popularity was not just limited to his
art. His strong affinity with the people over the course of his
lifetime made Shajarian their beloved artist. He was never once
apathetic about the pain and suffering they went through.
For example, shortly after the devastating
2003 earthquake in Bam, Kerman Province, which claimed tens of
thousands of lives and flattened the town, Shajarian and his group,
composed of his son Homayun, tar virtuoso Hossein Alizadeh and kamacheh
master Kayhan Kalhor, organized benefit concerts titled “Compassion for
Bam” to raise funds for the victims of the disaster.
The Bam Art Garden was born out of the rubble of the earthquake based on an initiative from Shajarian and his friends.
“I was like a drop that fell from the
cloud, heading to the sea,” Shajarian once said during a celebration to
mark his 73rd birthday in September 2013 organized by his friends and a
number of Iranian art elites, including vocalist Shahram Nazeri,
filmmaker Masud Kimiai and writer Javad Mojabi.
After Bam earthquake, 2003
“For me, the people of Iran and the world
are the sea. And from childhood, I learned from my parents to share my
happiness with others… I follow the way that people are going and the
people are my most important asset. Today, many people live inside me
and I live for them. Because I believe that life finds its mean with
‘you,’ therefore, I have tried to do my art for humans and humanity.
“We should first abandon our evil ways and
wickedness to enable ourselves to live with others and hold meetings
with them; meetings with others have always been important for me and I
have tried to ignore my personal pride for the sake of national pride
and culture.
Iran Ey Saraye Omid, By Mohammadreza Lotfi, Song: Mohammadreza Shajarian, Poem: Houshang Ebtehaj
“Life is difficult when we are under
others’ steady gaze and spotlights, but today, the present the people
give us is for having always loved them; I have tried to share my
happiness with others and have regard for their concerns.”
Born in the religious city of Mashhad,
Shajarian began his vocal career from childhood with his father who
taught him Quran recitation. His recitations of the Holy Quran were
aired by Mashhad Radio when he was only 12.
At the same time, he was also pursuing a career in vocal music.
In his early twenties, he left his
hometown to pursue his singing career in Tehran. His father wanted him
to respect his family’s reputation for their affinity with religious
figures, so his singing was aired by Tehran Radio under the alias
Siavash Bidgani.
Tar virtuoso Ahmad Ebadi, who was one of
Shajarian’s close friends, met his father later, convincing him to allow
Shajarian to sing using his true name.
His collaborations with Golha, a
professional music program of Tehran Radio that had many top musicians,
in 1972 opened a window of opportunity for Shajarian. He started a
friendship with many elites of Persian traditional music who played a
key role in the development of his virtuosity.
As he was completing his education with
the top maestros such as Framarza Payvar, Nurali Khan Borumand and
Abdollah Davami, he also pursued his Quran recitations professionally.
In 1978, he finished first in Iran’s nationwide Quran competition. In
summer 1979, he took second place in the recitation category of a
Malaysian Quran contest.
He split from Golah, and consequently,
radio in early 1978. “At that time, the program was not in harmony with
my feelings. I felt that the radio’s policy was being made by cabarets
and cultural triviality.”
His friends in the Sheida and Aref music
ensembles also separated from the radio in protest at the killing of
demonstrators on Black Friday on 8 September 1979. They teamed up to
produce some protest songs, which were released in album series named
Chavosh.
The epic song “Sepideh” (“Dawn”) composed
by Mohammadreza Lotfi with a poem by their close friend Hushang Ebtehaj,
who is also known by his pseudonym “Sayeh”, become a smash hit that
Shajarian performed with the Sheida ensemble at National University in
Tehran in 1980. “In Memory of Aref” and “The Soul of the Beloved” were
among the albums Sheida recorded with Shajarian.
In 1980, a recitation of an invocation,
known as “Shajarian’s Rabbana”, that he improvised for his students was
recorded at Iran’s national radio. The divine recitation, which is
composed of four verses of the Holy Quran, opens with a prelude
featuring verses of a mesmerizing Rumi poem promoting the fast during
Ramadan.
In 2017, the Cultural Heritage, Tourism
and Handicrafts Organization registered “Rabbana” on the National
Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
In his works, he began to perform in
dastaghs and gushehs, the totality of melodies of the Persian
traditional music system, which were sinking into oblivion at that time.
This trend was highly inspiring for his pupils, helping save these
unique systems.
In the 1980s, he pursued a teaching career
in music courses, one of the outcomes of which was that his son,
Homayun, is now a popular vocalist of the new generation.
His collaboration with Aref, which was led
by eminent composer and santur virtuoso Parviz Meshkatian, resulted in
the creation of “Injustice”, “At Presence of the Beloved”, “The Dome of
the Sky” and several other albums, which are considered an unparalleled
treasury of Persian traditional music.
He worked with many musicians and finally
in 2008, founded his own group Shahnaz named after his master and tar
virtuoso Jalil Shahnaz. His daughter Mojgan and composer and tar
virtuoso Majid Derakhshani were among the members of the ensemble, along
with whom he embarked on a world tour in 2010, using his innovative
instruments, including the sorahi, arghanun and barbad.
Shajarian was also quite agreeable to the innovations made by his son, Homayun, in the traditions of Persian song.
“Despite objections from those who are
adherents of Persian traditional music, they [Homayun and his
colleagues] are not in the least incorrect. However, they should beware
of deviations. They should follow their own path based on the culture of
their society; they should never go beyond due bounds in modernity,
letting the next generation try their new items,” he once said in an
interview.
He was nominated for a Grammy Award in
Best World Music 2004 and 2006, and was the recipient of numerous awards
and honors, including a UNESCO Golden Picasso Medal in 1999. He was
also decorated with France’s Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in June
2014.
Shajarian was also known for his skills in Persian calligraphy, and showcased his works in several exhibitions.
Once in an interview, he called himself
“son of Iran” and added, “My vice is among the ancient vices of Iranians
who wanted to be remembered for the type of people they were; people of
humanity, love, peace and purity.
“We have no other message for the world
than that of friendship, love, life and happiness. And if we complain it
is to rid ourselves of social problems so our people can live.”
Shajarian married Farkhondeh Golafshan in
1961, but divorced her in 2000. He is survived by his widow, Katayun
Khansari, and his sons Homayun, Farzaneh, Afsaneh and Mojgan from his
first marriage, and Rayan, another son from his second marriage.

The Muharram mourning ceremony was held at the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyeh with Ayatollah Khamenei in attendance. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this year’s mourning ceremonies are not being held publicly.
What is the origin of Ashura?
Leila Yazdani: If we wish to find out the causes of the rise of the Imam Hussain (A.S.) we have to make a search for its preliminaries during a period of at least thirty years preceding that time, because about thirty years after the migration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), there had taken place such developments as had made necessary a movement like this in the Islamic society.
At this time, the Islamic method underwent a change and it assumed another posture. Taking advantage of this state of affairs the people began to amass wealth and property from the Baytul Mal (public treasury) of the Muslims. It was the same Baytul Mal that was guarded so carefully by Imam Ali (AS) during the period of his caliphate.
After Caliph Uthman, Imam Ali (AS) attained the caliphate. The difficult task for Ali (AS), on account of which battles were also fought, was to control these influential persons and not to permit any person any longer to take even one dinar from the Baytul Mal of the Muslims without proper accounting. He wanted to restrain the people from all sorts of covetousness, greed, and bad habits.
Imam Ali (AS) had fought battles against Mu’awiya because Mu’awiya continuously violated the Islamic principles. Imam Al-Hassan (AS) had to swallow the bitter pill of making a peace agreement with Mu’awiya, in order to safeguard the security of the Ummah which was at stake. But, Imam Hussain (A.S.) as the Head of Ahlul Bayt (PBUH) never recognized Mu’awiya nor his followers.
When Yazid son of Mu’awiya declared himself as a ruler over the Ummah, he demanded Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) allegiance of loyalty. Imam Hussain (A.S.) on his part flatly rejected Yazid’s rule and behavior, for there was no way Yazid could represent Islam. But Yazid, the tyrant ruler over the Ummah, was adamant in his demand. Like his father Mu’awiya, Yazid used all possible means like bribery, coercion, pressure, threats, and force to receive the people’s acceptance of him as the legitimate ruler.
Many people were worried, threats to their lives and livelihood was too menacing, so they grudgingly and reluctantly gave in. But, Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his family (who practiced Islam in its true sense), did not give in. As the true representative of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Hussain (A.S.) flatly refused accepting Yazid either as a Khalifa or a leader of Islam. Despite Yazid’s intimidating military power the Imam stood firm in his resolve and chose to challenge Bani Umayya’s authorities.
Imam Hussain (A.S.) also knew that giving allegiance of loyalty to an imposter like Yazid would certainly place Islam at great jeopardy. Imam Hussain (A.S.) and a majority of true Muslims believed that Yazid the then brutal ruler of Bani Ummayad was openly going against the pure and genuine teachings of Islam in public and violating the Sunnah of the holy prophet and the core practices of Islam.Therefore he decided to leave Mecca for Kufa to prepare for a confrontation with Yazid and his forces. Infact, Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) refusal to accept the tyrant Yazid’s allegiance triggered the Battle of Karbala on the Day of Ashura.
The Imam (AS) quoted the Prophet (PBUH):
“If somebody witnesses a tyrannical king who practices forbidden (Haram) acts as if they are permissible (Halal), breaks the Divine Promise, opposes the Prophet’s (PBUH) way of life (Sunnah), and oppresses people while saying and doing nothing to stand against the tyrannical ruler, Allah (SWT) will place him/her in the abode of that oppressor.”
Then the Prophet (PBUH) enumerated the crimes of the Umayyads. The above saying was used in either Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) letter or speech. It not only demonstrates his irreconcilability with the enemy and strong determination but also indicates that he would make any effort to demonstrate this heroic spirit to the society.
After arriving in Karbala, Imam Hussain (A.S.) gave his companions a speech, saying:
“Under such circumstances, a faithful person should be willing to make any sacrifice to see his Lord (God). In such a situation as mine, I would consider death nothing but salvation and living with oppressors nothing but humiliation and ignominy”.
The Islamic Ummah should never forget the event of Ashura. Definitely, Islam is alive because of the event of Ashura and the efforts of Imam Hussain (A.S.). If it had not been for the event of Ashura, Islam would have definitely deviated from its path and nothing would have remained from it. The greatness of Ashura is because of this./ SHAFAQNA
