Insh’allah. It’ll be fun to see if Allah wants to fire him from his current employment.
[IsraelTimes] Iran’s foreign minister has tested positive for COVID-19, local media reports, at a key moment in diplomatic efforts to revive a nuclear agreement with major powers.Hossein Amir-Abdollahian "tested positive today for coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...," the Tasnim news agency reports.
The 57-year-old career diplomat, who was named foreign minister in August by ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi, was a close confidant of military strategist General Qassem Soleimani
who was assassinated in a US dronezap early last year."His general health is satisfactory and he is continuing his daily duties from quarantine," ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh tells the official IRNA news agency.
Khatibzadeh had said just Monday that talks with the remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear deal would resume "in the next two or three weeks," although he added that ministers would not take part.
The talks have been on hold since before Raisi’s election in June.
