\"iran-mashhad-women\"<\/p>\n

The state-run Hamdeli newspaper wrote today: “In a letter to the President, the Islamic Association of University Teachers discussed the recent incidents in Mashhad and the humiliation of women who wanted to watch a football match, stressing that it was of concern to large sections of society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quoting from the very letter, Hamdeli added: \u201cWhy would the Ministry of Interior, which was supposed to investigate the tragic incident seriously and neutrally, is instead trying to eliminate the problem through a vague report and is blaming the women themselves?!”<\/p>\n

“We warn that in a situation where the region is prone to bloody incidents resulting from serious ethnic, religious, and local conflicts, an incident like the one that took place in Mashhad Stadium is only serving foreign groups that want to activate the gender inequality issue just like all other crises,\u201d the newspaper cautioned.<\/p>\n

\"iran-expo-dubai\"<\/p>\n

The Dubai Expo turned out to be another embarrassment for the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

“The only takeaway from Dubai Expo was the volume of criticism regarding the approximately 14 million dirhams spent for an empty pavilion in Dubai,” the Quds Force-run Tasnim news agency<\/a> reported today. “Experts described our show as “catastrophic” and “disgraceful”.<\/p>\n

Tasnim added: “One should ask where was Iran’s position in the expo? Did it succeed to demonstrate our ancient civilization or our plan for the future? How was the current Iranian displayed? Can it be considered as one of the countries that have a plan for its future? None! Because it failed to even display some attractions properly.”<\/p>\n

On January 4, Tasnim reported<\/a> that the Iranian regime’s Minister of Mining and Industries has dismissed Hassan Zamani, CEO of Iran International Exhibitions Company and head of the regime’s pavilion at the Dubai Expo, and appointed “Hooman Razdar” in his place.<\/p>\n
