The Danger of the Collapse of the Platforms at Azadi Stadium Is Serious, Official Warns<\/h3>\n

\"iran-tehran-azadi-stadium\"<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the Abadan Metropol Complex fiasco and the following protests, the potential danger of numerous other buildings and public properties that have been built against all scientific standards by circumventing expert review has become a source of concern for the state.<\/p>\n

Sina Kalhor, a deputy of the regime’s Ministry of Sports said today<\/a>: “If we fail to act today, the danger of the collapse of the Azadi stadium platforms will be serious. Unfortunately, due to the negligence of the previous years, the damages to Azadi Stadium have accumulated. The issue right now is not just the endurance of the columns and platforms. The required power and electricity supply, sound system, and other things in the stadium need to be fixed, too.”<\/p>\n

Indirectly admitting to the systemic fraud and theft, he added: “According to the law, part of the earnings from the matches held at Azadi Stadium had to be allocated to the stadium itself to be spent on its reconstruction.\u00a0The bad things that happened to this stadium in the past should not prolong. If this situation continues, we will inevitably reach an unacceptable situation.”<\/p>\n

Wary of IAEA Resolution, Tehran Resorts to New Blackmail Tactic<\/h3>\n

\"iran-removing-iaea-cameras\"<\/p>\n

While the 35 members of the International Atomic Energy Agency are discussing a condemning resolution at the Board of Governor’s meeting in Vienna, the Iranian regime’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) issued a statement today, announcing the removal of some of IAEA’s surveillance cameras to scare off any punitive action.<\/p>\n

According to the state-run ISNA<\/a>, the AEOI statement reads: “While Tehran has extensively cooperated with the UN nuclear agency, the IAEA has unfortunately ignored the fact that such cooperation signifies Iran\u2019s goodwill, has been ungrateful for the cooperation and has considered it as a duty of Iran. As a result, Iran decided to shut off the ultra-Safeguards Agreement cameras monitoring enrichment levels (OLEM or Online Enrichment Monitor) and flowmeters of the IAEA as of Wednesday, June 8.”<\/p>\n
