Unveiling a Bold Strategic Plan to Safeguard Endangered Species for Future Generations
President Masoud Pezeshkian has directed Iran’s Department of Environment (DOE) to create a strategic plan for protecting endangered species, prompted by a report from the IUCN highlighting 154 critically endangered vertebrate species in the country.

Breakthrough Discovery: New Rare Diseases Uncovered in Iran
In Iran, five new rare diseases have been identified, bringing the total to 456, according to the Rare Disease Foundation. The new conditions include Schwachman Diamond Syndrome and Mowat Wilson Syndrome, among others.

Iran’s Alarming Surge in Theft Highlights Escalating Economic Crisis
Iran’s theft rates have surged nearly fourfold since the late 2000s, reflecting severe socio-economic challenges.

Factors like poverty, unemployment, and family breakdown exacerbate the situation. Despite theft being the most common crime, Iranian institutions provide limited transparency on crime data. Harsh punishments for theft, rooted in medieval interpretations of Islamic law, contrast starkly with the systemic corruption among regime officials. This crisis underscores the urgent need for reform and equitable governance in Iran.

Spring Vaccination Drive: 300,000 Kids Set to Receive Polio Immunization
Iran has launched a comprehensive vaccination campaign against polio for children under five, as part of its ongoing efforts to eradicate the disease.
