Death of the 'Black Box' of Iran Insurance Case in Evin Prison

The Iranian newspaper Iran, close to the government, reported on its front page that Hassan Rouhani spoke at the UN General Assembly about the beginning of a new chapter in Iran's interaction with the world. The newspaper Etemad evaluated these remarks, stating that Rouhani's third speech at the UN was filled with political bridges; bridges between yesterday and tomorrow, between the JCPOA and regional conditions. Bridges to move past bitter memories to reach future development. What the president said can only be traversed through dialogue. Now, after two years of his presidency, he has a solid reference for the global community; the nuclear agreement. Something that turned a conflict into an understanding over two years. The newspaper Shargh reported the death of Davood Sarkhosh, one of the convicts in the Iran Insurance financial corruption case and an accomplice of Mohammad Reza Rahimi, in Evin prison. The newspaper Bahar reported on the 'publication of Babak Zanjani's letter to Rouhani, four days before the trial.' The evaluation of the newspapers regarding Rouhani's remarks at the UN General Assembly was also highlighted. The newspaper Iran emphasized that Rouhani stated, 'I speak on behalf of a nation that voted for constructive interaction with the world two years ago, and now I can proudly announce that today, a new chapter in Iran's relations with the world has begun.' He asserted that 'Iran is ready to show that the practical path to security and stability is development under the shadow of economic interaction.' The Iranian president described the nuclear agreement as a brilliant example of victory over war and pushed the shadow of a new war away from the Middle East. He also criticized Saudi Arabia for the deaths of pilgrims in the Mina incident, demanding that Saudi officials fulfill their international responsibilities. Fereydoun Majlesi, an international policy expert, noted that the most important feature of Rouhani's speech was the emphasis on negotiation to resolve crises while adhering to the principles of the Islamic Republic. He suggested that Rouhani's remarks directly addressed existing crises and provided practical solutions that conform to global standards. The newspaper Etemad highlighted Rouhani's statements regarding the deaths of Iranian pilgrims in Mina, emphasizing his call for peace while not forgetting the past. The death of Davood Sarkhosh, known as the 'black box' of the Iran Insurance case, was confirmed by his lawyer, who stated that he died of a heart attack. Sarkhosh was previously sentenced to three years in prison for bribery. The newspaper Bahar reported on the publication of a letter from Babak Zanjani to Rouhani, where Zanjani criticized the first vice president for disrespect and claimed he never engaged in corruption. Zanjani's letter raised questions about the timing of its release and its potential impact on his upcoming trial, with some parliament members stating that it would not affect the court's final decision. The article concluded with a note on the uncertainties surrounding Zanjani's trial and the efforts of his lawyers to delay the verdict.
