#Iran's President Rouhani said today that Trump, who "will be disgraced for his crimes... will not only be ousted from power, but also life in the next few weeks".

Added that Iran and Mideast nations will avenge Soleimani's assassination.

He also compared Trump to Saddam, like he did last week.

A more complete version of Rouhani quote: "Trump will be ousted, not only from power, but also from life; he will be a disgraced person in history for his crimes".

While it does sound bad, it looks like he's implying that Trump will live in shame after leaving office.

Tayyebeh Mokhber has become the first person to receive #Iran's #Covid19 vaccine as the vaccine's clinical trial begins.

In the video below, reporters are told constantly to keep their distance from her, to no avail.

Iranian media are highlighting the fact that she's the daughter of the head of the state-run organisation behind the development of the vaccine.

Two other people are expected to be inoculated today.

Would note that the actual vaccination has not yet been shown on television, possibly because showing a woman's bare arm on TV is a big no-no in Iran.

Deputy Commander of #Iran's Army RAdm Sayyari has criticised everyone from the state TV to the IRGC itself for promoting the Guards are expense of the Army. IRNA released 13 mins of its exclusive interview w/ Sayyari before taking it down today.

But Google cache remembers. 1/5

Like other armies around the world, he said, Iran's Army "doesn't believe in publicising everything it does" because it would risk exposing "national security capabilities".

"We're not a refrigerator manufacturer," he said, prompting the interviewers to smile. (00:27)

2/5

Perhaps taking a dig at the Guards' submarines, he said: "It's not necessary to tell the youth 'Look at me - Sayyari - look how hard I work; look what I made, look how I go under water!'"

Instead, he said, the Army holds drills to show off its capabilities.
