Iran\u2019s education system<\/a> is going to be faced with an imminent crisis<\/a> and shortage of workforce in coming years as the retirees are not replaced with adequate new personnel.<\/p>\n Chaharband says that 50,000 new personnel should replace the education system\u2019s retirees each year, underlining that \u201cbased on our estimates, there\u2019s going to be a 300,000 personnel shortage this coming fall.\u201d (State-run ISNA news agency, June 13, 2018)<\/p>\n Students in Iranian schools are subject to different fatal threats, including ceiling or wall collapse, severe injuries and smoke inhalation due to heater leakage, all of which point to the education system\u2019s critical state.<\/p>\n Despite all this and while education system in all countries across the world is of utmost importance, the regime reduces the Education Ministry\u2019s budget year after year to fund its oppressive forces, killing the people in regional countries like Syria, and its so-called cultural entities.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A \u201cDomino Effect\u201d in the Exit of Western Companies From Iran<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n France, Germany, and Britain have officially asked to be exempt from the sanctions of the United States on Iran.<\/p>\n According to some French news reports (6th June 2018), the France\u2019s Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire, has stated: \u201cFrance, Britain, Germany, and the European Union, have all asked the United States to refrain from applying its sanctions to their business dealings with Iran, which are currently occurring within a legal framework\u201d.<\/p>\n In a speech held on 21st May 2018 at the Heritage Foundation, Mike Pompeo rattled off a 12-point list of what he referred to as the \u201cbasic requirements\u201d of a new way forward with Iran.<\/p>\n Pompeo also emphasised the pressure of these sanctions and that: \u201cAfter our sanctions come into full force, Iran will be battling to keep its economy alive; it must then make a choice \u2013 either fight to keep its economy off life support at home or keep squandering its precious wealth for supporting terrorists and rebel groups of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and other countries\u201d.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt is America\u2019s hope that our labours towards peace and security will bear fruit for the long-suffering people of Iran. We long to see them prosper and flourish as in decades past, and as never before\u201d.<\/p>\n Iran: Sailors Are Deprived of Minimum Pay and Retirement Insurance<\/a><\/p>\n The absence of a Sailors Association has been crippling the sailors of Bushehr over the years; not only are their salaries being withheld, so are their insurance and retirement pays.<\/p>\n The head of the dismantled Sailors Association of Bushehr, Omra Rahnama, told ILNA: \u201cEmployers pay sailors a total of 1 million Toman for the entire two months; whilst each trip does take 10 days, sailors are technically hired for two months because lodgers withhold their cards for this period\u201d.<\/p>\n He adds that \u201cThere are no other associations to take care of our sailors. We were the only one in country\u2019s south. Without our association, the issues of sailors will not be followed up, which will enable the employers to continue mistreating the sailors\u201d.<\/p>\n Iran Regime Official: Our Country\u2019s Environmental Protection Is One of the Most Disgraceful in the World<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In an event held on 15th June in Mashhad, the head Iran\u2019s Environmental Protection Organisation (IEPO) Isa Kalantari said that in terms of environmental protection, Iran ranks lower than 100 in a total of 180 countries; which as he puts, makes Iran one of the most disgraced in the world. Iran\u2019s protection of its environment is so shameful that even its representatives feel embarrassed to acknowledge it in associated global gatherings.<\/p>\n According to Kalantari: \u201cSo far, 10 major cities of Iran are facing serious air pollution. Aggregates of wastes have also buried three provinces and subsequently, taken away the livability of the northern regions too. With the 10-meter land subsidence in Hamedan, we have extracted as much water as possible from the underground\u201d.<\/p>\n Finally, Kalantari mentions how the drying of rivers has led to the destruction of wetlands. He describes that \u201cThe construction of 37 dams has led to the blockage of incoming waters into Lake Urmia; hence the 69% usage of freshwater in this area\u201d.<\/p>\n MohammadSalas<\/b><\/a>, a 51-year old member of Iran<\/b><\/a>\u2018s Sufi religious minority group has been executed early this morning.
