Severe Shortage of Lab Kits in Iran Puts 50+ Medical Tests on Hold<\/h3>\n

\"iranA severe shortage of laboratory kits in Iran has caused over 50 types of medical tests to be suspended. According to a report in the state-run Etemad newspaper on November 2<\/a>, the scarcity of these kits has led several diagnostic and genetic laboratories in Tehran and Isfahan to deactivate certain hormones, infectious, and genetic tests due to the unavailability of the necessary kits.<\/p>\n

The report states that kit procurement has been challenging in recent years, and the situation has worsened to the point where obtaining them, even through the black market, has become impossible.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that over 80% of laboratory supplies in Iran are reliant on imports, and even items that appear to be domestically produced often depend on imported raw materials.\u00a0In the past three years, the amount of foreign currency allocated for the import of laboratory equipment has significantly decreased, reaching only half of its previous allocation.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime’s inadequate support for domestic industries and production has stifled the country’s economic potential. Bureaucracy, corruption, and a lack of infrastructure have hindered local businesses. Overreliance on oil exports, coupled with economic mismanagement and sanctions, has made Iran dependent on imports, leaving its industries vulnerable to external pressures and economic crises.<\/p>\n

\"just-the-news-logo\"<\/p>\n

In a bipartisan vote, the GOP-led House passed legislation Friday that would impose new sanctions on ports and refineries that ship or process oil from the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

The Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum Act, or SHIP Act, also would revoke visas of foreign nationals in the U.S. who help the Iranian government export its oil.\u00a0The final vote was 342-69. The no votes came from 68 Democrats and one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t tolerate actions that champion terrorism and threaten our safety,\u201d said Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas.<\/p>\n

US, West Condemn UN for Allowing Iran To Host Human Rights Council Meeting<\/h3>\n

\"Independent-30112020\"<\/p>\n

Western critics of\u00a0Iran<\/a>\u00a0including the\u00a0US State Department<\/a>\u00a0are up in arms after Iran\u2019s representative to the\u00a0United Nations<\/a> was chosen as the host for a Geneva-based meeting on human rights.\u00a0The move was a predictably anger-inducing decision given the extensive history of human rights abuse accusations laid at the feet of Iran\u2019s government and its president,\u00a0Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, who is personally alleged to have played a role in massacres of dissidents decades ago. It drew condemnation from many, including the US ambassador to the council who refused to participate altogether.<\/p>\n

At a press briefing hosted by an Iranian dissident group, the NCRI, other European experts including the president of the Italian Federation of Human Rights discussed a wide range of alleged Iranian human rights abuses. A letter was circulated with more than 100 human rights advocate signatories including Nobel laureates condemning the UN\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing a regime notorious for committing the 1988 massacre and daily executions and warmongering to take over a prestigious UN platform is a dagger to the heart of human rights, fuels terrorism, and endangers regional and global peace,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n
