Milad Tower (Persian: Borj e Milād – برج میلاد), also known as the Tehran Tower (برج تهران – Borj e Tehrān),[3] is a multi-purpose tower in Tehran, Iran. It is the sixth tallest tower[4] and the 17th tallest freestanding structure in the world.[5]
It is located between the Qarb Town and Gisha District, standing at 435 m (1,427 ft) from base to the tip of the antenna.[6] The head consists of a large pod with 12 floors, the roof of which is at 315 m (1,033 ft).
The tower is a part of a complex called International Trade and Convention Center of Tehran. The complex also includes a five-star hotel, a convention center, a world trade center, and an IT park.[
The long metro lines underneath Tehran have been build by the Chinese. It is very clean and mostly empty.
Railway Network in Iran was surprisingly very well managed - on time and clean trains, even second class was very comfortable, free mineral water and cheap as chips.

Minarets (Arabic manāra (lighthouse) منارة, usually مئذنة) are distinctive architectural features of Islamic mosques. Minarets are generally tall spires with onion-shaped crowns, usually either free standing or much taller than any surrounding support structure.
As well as providing a visual cue to a Muslim community, the call to prayer is traditionally given from the top of the minaret. In some of the oldest mosques, such as the Great Mosque of Damascus, minarets originally served as watchtowers illuminated by torches (hence the derivation of the word from the Arabic nur, meaning "light"). In more recent times, the main function of the minaret was to provide a vantage point from which the muezzin can call out the adhan, calling the faithful to prayer. In most modern Mosques, the adhan is called not in the minaret, but in the musallah, or prayer hall, via a microphone and speaker system.
In a practical sense, these are also used for natural air conditioning. As the sun heats the dome, air is drawn in through open windows and up and out of the shaft, thereby causing a natural ventilation.
Minarets have been described as the "gate from heaven and earth", and as the Arabic language letter alif (which is a straight vertical line).
The world's tallest minaret (at 210 meters) is located at the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. The world's tallest brick minaret is Qutub Minar located in Delhi, India. There are two 230 meter tall minarets under construction in Tehran, Iran.

On November 28, 2010 AD, Iran’s nuclear physicists, Dr. Majid Shahriari, and Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi, were the targets of two separate terrorist attacks in which Dr. Abbasi was wounded, while Dr. Shahriari attained martyrdom. Martyr Shahriari was born in Zanjan in 1966 and completed his PhD in nuclear engineering at Tehran’s Amir Kabir University. Following the opening of the Nuclear Engineering Faculty at Martyr Beheshti University in 2006, he joined its academic board. One of his most important designs was related to development of a new generation of nuclear reactors, which was widely reflected throughout the world’s scientific centers. The US and Zionist agents are the evil brains behind such cowardly acts of terrorism, in a bid to sabotage Iran’s peaceful nuclear plans.
