With the detention of the son of the environment and urban planning minister, we learned that such a ministry actually exists.
This is an unnecessary ministry in a country with the ugliest and untidiest towns and cities in the world. We learned that the war with Pennsylvania could turn into a war with Washington.

The real duty of Halkbank is to act as Iran’s opening door to the world, and the US blockade has been violated for years.
