Protests Against Enforcers of Morality Are 'Prohibited'

The newspaper Shargh reports on the front page of its Saturday issue about the 'beginning of the end of sanctions,' stating: 'According to the latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, we are only one step away from closing the 12-year nuclear file of Iran.' Concurrently, the newspaper Etemad also headlines 'One Step to the End of a Decade of Accusations,' writing: 'The International Atomic Energy Agency announced on Thursday that the process of receiving information from Iran regarding current and past activities has ended.' The newspaper Jomhouri Eslami, in an editorial titled 'Opportunities After Sanctions and the Policy of Industrial and Economic Development,' writes: 'A new opportunity has now arisen; the lifting of sanctions and the drafting of the sixth development plan,' urging officials, experts, and the private sector to seize this historic opportunity and strive to put an end to uncertainties and initiate rapid development growth with a program tailored to the post-sanction economic conditions, considering the principles of economic resilience. The newspaper Iran reported on the visit of the German Foreign Minister to Tehran, quoting Frank-Walter Steinmeier as saying: 'The message of my visit is seriousness in lifting sanctions.' Steinmeier expressed hope that progress could be made on how to reduce the horrific and dangerous conflicts threatening the stability of the entire region, including Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan, which has led to the largest refugee disaster since World War II. He noted that 'Iran, with its political influence in the region, has a significant responsibility to find solutions in the interests of the people. We believe that accepting peaceful coexistence with all neighbors, including Israel, is in line with this.' The newspaper Kayhan, in its editorial titled 'Battle on the First Step,' summarized the enemy's post-JCPOA strategy for the new era in three words: despair, regret, surrender. This newspaper emphasized that 'against this enemy strategy,' the 'heart and core of the antidote to this lethal arrow is in the hands of the elites, especially the media professionals, and every media outlet that has a broader reach and audience bears a heavier responsibility.' Kayhan also noted that 'faithful, revolutionary, brave, knowledgeable, and creative youth are not few. This group, although sometimes facing hardships and unjust treatment and even being labeled as extremists and radicals, never retreats and does not vacate the field, whether in the field of science and knowledge, like Ahmad Rouhian, who signed their commitment with their blood, or when necessary, these knowledgeable and virtuous individuals come to the streets and chant slogans and are criticized as being ignorant and government-paid.' The newspaper Javan expressed concern over the intensifying internal divisions among conservatives during the review of the JCPOA in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, reporting on the 'danger of the spread of disagreements over the JCPOA to the elections.' The newspaper wrote: 'If disagreements over the JCPOA continue, we should witness the last significant blow to the unity of conservatives; a unity that, if not formed, could lead to a repeat of the 2013 elections. Conservatives need to think about mending the JCPOA disagreements much sooner, otherwise they should expect even more devastating blows.' The newspaper Bahar, in its Saturday issue headline 'Deviation from the First Night,' reported on the political remarks of some mourners and the insults directed at Mohammad Javad Zarif on 'the first night of Muharram,' despite the emphasis of religious authorities and scholars on avoiding political activities by mourners. This newspaper identified one of the mourners' programs during this year's 'political Muharram' as the denigration of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani ahead of the Assembly of Experts elections, stating that Mohammad Yazdi, the Chairman of the Assembly of Experts, in an interview with a special publication 'Tabligh,' said: 'Mourners are obliged to inform the people about the conditions of those who wish to come and become members of the Assembly of Experts,' and 'the people must know, and the propagators must make them aware that the conditions are very sensitive, and not everyone can come, and not everyone should come.' The newspaper Arman reported that Iran and China are signing agreements in military, intelligence, and counter-terrorism fields. The newspaper Aftab Yazd dedicated its front page headline and photo to 'the fall of half of an airplane engine during flight' on the route from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, stating: 'On Thursday morning, a Mahan Air Boeing 747, which was en route from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, had to return to the departure airport and make an emergency landing at Mehrabad due to a technical defect in engine number 3. In this incident, due to the separation of the turbine from engine number 3 of the Boeing 747 and its collision with other parts of the aircraft, the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Mehrabad Airport, and fortunately, there were no casualties.' The newspaper Qanoon highlighted the statements of the Secretary of the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Headquarters regarding the renewed activities of this headquarters, quoting Ahmad Zargari as saying: 'Inside vehicles and public areas of buildings, hotels, hospitals, and public centers do not fall under privacy and violators will be dealt with.' The newspaper Qanoon, while 'revisiting and analyzing the latest letter from Babak Zanjani to the members of Parliament,' described this letter as containing 'moans and revelations,' quoting Babak Zanjani as saying: 'I lent over 200 million euros to the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters of the IRGC and it took two years to get it back, and I am still owed 30 million euros. Gentlemen, I invested in the Sadr Bridge with this system, imported its parts, and after two years, instead of my money, I was given density and was forced to build the Iran-Zamin project. Gentlemen, I bought giant cranes for the IRGC and provided them to the officials, built hotels and shipping, oil tankers, and hundreds of projects, for Hajj and pilgrimage, where money was tied under sheep and taken to pilgrims in Mecca, I transferred the money to banks in Saudi Arabia and received it and invested it in Iran.' The newspaper Jahan Sanat reported in a piece titled 'Where Are the People's Deposits?' that '96 percent of liquidity is in the banking system.' The newspaper Shargh dedicated its front page photo to a portrait of Mohammad Farrokhi Yazdi, a poet and journalist, stating: 'On October 25, 1939, Mohammad Farrokhi Yazdi, a poet, journalist, and lawyer of the seventh National Assembly, died in Qasr Prison,' but 'after the 20th of Shahrivar, it became clear that Farrokhi's death was due to an injection of air.'
