Danmarks ambassade i Teheran

Danmarks ambassade i Teheran er Danmarks officielle repræsentation i Iran. Ambassaden blev etableret i 1933, samme år som Danmark og Iran underskrev en venskabstraktat, hvilket markerede begyndelsen på de diplomatiske forbindelser mellem de to lande. Ambassadens primære opgaver omfatter at varetage danske interesser i Iran, herunder at følge iransk indenrigspolitik, den regionale udvikling samt at yde konsulær assistance til danske borgere i landet. Ambassaden håndterer også visumansøgninger fra iranere, der ønsker at besøge Danmark. Historie De diplomatiske relationer mellem Danmark og Iran går langt tilbage. Allerede i 1901 blev der udnævnt en persisk konsul i København. I 1933 etablerede Danmark en konsul i Iran, og i 1939 blev der udnævnt en residerende ambassadør. Danmark har haft en ambassade i Tehran lige siden. De kommercielle bånd mellem landene er også gamle; det danske firma Kampsax byggede i 1930'erne en stor del af den trans-iranske jernbane fra Det Kaspiske Hav til Den Persiske Golf. Angrebet i 2006 I februar 2006 blev Danmarks ambassade i Teheran udsat for angreb i forbindelse med de globale protester mod Jyllands-Postens offentliggørelse af Muhammed-tegningerne. Demonstranter forsøgte at trænge ind på ambassadens område og kastede sten mod bygningen, hvilket forårsagede materielle skader. Iranske sikkerhedsstyrker greb ind for at beskytte ambassaden og forhindrede yderligere eskalation. Dette angreb var en del af en række voldelige reaktioner mod danske diplomatiske missioner i Mellemøsten på det tidspunkt. Se også Kongeriget Danmarks ambassader Referencer

Mizan Dam

Mizan Dam or Band-e-Mizan, (Persian: بند میزان) is a historic dam from the Sasanian era and a part of Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System, located in the island city of Shushtar, Khuzestan Province, Iran.

History As in its present form, it dates from the 3rd century CE, probably on older bases from the 5th century BC. The dam was built by Roman soldiers and engineers who were taken into captivity along with Emperor Valerian (reign 253–260 CE) after his defeat by Shapur I (241-272 CE). Function Mizan Dam is located upstream of a manmade canal called Gargar which was dug in order to divert water from the Karun River. The dam regulates water for Gargar (a tributary stream branched from the Karun) and this way, Mizan is considered a regulatory dam. Material The elemental materials of this site are stone, Saruj mortar and sandstone in foundation that all of them have maintained their authenticity, and there aren't any interventions. But there are differences in some part of site due to different restoration periods. Threats Due to the location and nature of Mizan Dam, this dam is sometimes submerged. Severe flooding has occurred during previous decades which affected the dam. Sources
