The Coalition of Motalefeh with Misbah's Allies

The newspaper Etemad has published statements by Mahmoud Alavi regarding the "Formation of a Qualification Council" in the Ministry of Intelligence on its front page. Simultaneously, the newspaper Resalat quotes the Minister of Intelligence stating: "Those who questioned the legitimacy of the system should not expect to be approved for qualifications." The newspaper Jahane San'at describes "growth in monetary base, reduction in bank debts" as part of the Central Bank's achievements over the past year, noting that "the 1.3% growth in the monetary base has led to liquidity exceeding 832 trillion tomans." The newspaper Kayhan emphasizes on its front page that "the JCPOA is unresolved, and the parliament's recess is not advisable." Kayhan points out the beginning of a three-week recess for the parliament, stating: "This three-week recess in the current sensitive conditions is noteworthy," and "54 representatives have requested the Speaker of Parliament to suspend the recess to pursue the JCPOA text, but the parliamentary leadership opposed this, arguing that the JCPOA review committee will continue its work during the recess." The newspaper Javan quotes Yukiya Amano, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, stating: "Iran's commitments under the JCPOA exceed the Additional Protocol." The newspaper Arman quotes Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani regarding statements made by the former police chief, saying: "What was revealed was part of the conspiracies," while the newspaper Qanoon reports on continued reactions to the former police chief's interview, stating that if Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam's statements in his recent interview are "correct," the judiciary should arrest and prosecute Ahmadinejad due to his involvement in the country's turmoil and threats to national security. The newspaper Shargh reports on the "coalition of Motalefeh with Misbah Yazdi's allies," but notes that some other principlist organizations still emphasize the "centrality of the clergy and the Society of Teachers." This newspaper also reports on "repeated accusations against Reza Faraji-Dana from Kamran Daneshjoo," stating that this time "it is Kamran Daneshjoo, the Minister of Science in Ahmadinejad's government, who has defended the performance of the ninth and tenth governments in an interview with the monthly 'Ramz-e Obour' while simultaneously questioning the Hope and Prudence government." The newspaper Etemad reports on the acquittal of a contractor municipal employee in the murder of Ali Cheraghi and the family's protest against the issued ruling. Ali Cheraghi, 41 years old, was involved in a confrontation with four municipal contractors while collecting scrap iron on Izadpanah Street in eastern Tehran, and due to being struck in the head by one of the contractors, he lost consciousness and died in the hospital seven days later due to "brain death caused by a hard object hitting his head." The newspaper Hemayat, affiliated with the prison organization, reports that the family of "Ali Khalili," referred to as a "martyr of enjoining good and forbidding wrong," has released a letter forgiving the execution of the person accused of killing their son. This newspaper recalls that "Ali Khalili was assaulted by malicious individuals while returning home in July 2011, and after the assailant was arrested and a complaint was filed, Khalili ultimately granted forgiveness," but "on April 4, 2014, after enduring about 36 months of illness, Khalili passed away in the hospital, and a month later, the head of the forensic medicine organization announced that the blows inflicted on Khalili were related to his death," leading to the reopening of his case due to the complaint from the family, which ultimately concluded with a ruling of "qisas" and "the family's forgiveness." The formation of the Qualification Council in the Ministry of Intelligence is highlighted by the newspaper Etemad, quoting Mahmoud Alavi about the "Formation of a Qualification Council" in the Ministry of Intelligence, while the newspaper Resalat quotes the Minister of Intelligence stating: "Those who questioned the legitimacy of the system should not expect to be approved for qualifications." The newspaper Etemad describes Mahmoud Alavi as "the most different Minister of Intelligence in recent years" in terms of both positioning and approaches, noting that the Minister's presence in a television program on the occasion of Government Week was "accompanied by many points. He criticized and also provided information," and "his criticisms were directed at two groups. One group consisted of those who did not consider the problems of a government that inherited a debt equal to its income and began attacking the government from day one. The second group included those who not only attacked the government but also the negotiating team. Their attacks have been so extensive that in their private circles, they referred to them as traitors to the homeland and assessed the negotiations as humiliating." According to this newspaper, Mahmoud Alavi has also provided "encouragement regarding the parliamentary elections" and his electoral perspective reflects that of the government, while "the Ministry of Intelligence, as one of the four main authorities for approving qualifications, has now formed an eight-member council to review qualifications." Etemad reports that the Minister of Intelligence has "emphasized that no one will be disqualified solely for being present in a candidate's electoral headquarters in 2009. He promised that having a specific political view will not lead to disqualifications." This newspaper reports that Mahmoud Alavi, in response to the question of what basis the Ministry of Intelligence uses to approve or disapprove individuals, emphasized that "in the process of reviewing qualifications, the Ministry of Intelligence stands between the rights of the system and the people," stating: "We have tried to remove the review of qualifications and disqualifications from an individual basis and assign it to a decision-making body. In this regard, a council has been established as the Qualification Council, consisting of about eight individuals who are knowledgeable in this area. This council also includes a qualified cleric, so until they reach a religious justification on a matter, they will never make a decision," adding that "the work of the Ministry of Intelligence is not to verify individuals' qualifications but to announce an individual's disqualification." The newspaper Etemad also reports that Mahmoud Alavi regarding the Ministry of Intelligence's perspective on the events of 2009 in the process of reviewing individuals' qualifications has stated: "The Supreme Leader declared the sedition a red line and specified its frameworks," and "in this regard, merely being present in the electoral headquarters of a candidate approved by the Guardian Council for the elections and campaigning for them does not mean we consider them part of the sedition," and that even individuals who committed errors before the Supreme Leader's statements can be reviewed, but the Ministry of Intelligence cannot religiously approve the qualifications of those who questioned the tranquility and legitimacy of the system and caused harm." The newspaper Resalat publishes another part of Mahmoud Alavi's remarks on its front page, quoting the Minister of Intelligence stating: "Those who questioned the legitimacy of the system should not expect to be approved for qualifications." According to this newspaper, Mahmoud Alavi regarding the protests of 2009 and what this newspaper describes as "the Ministry of Intelligence's view on the sedition of 2009 and the seditionists in various fields" has said: "An individual who has been approved by the Guardian Council to participate in elections and has campaigned does not mean that we consider that individual a member of the sedition, or that individuals who made errors after the elections and before the Supreme Leader's statements can be reviewed as to why and what impact they had, but those who questioned the tranquility of society and the legitimacy of the system, causing harm, should not expect to be approved, and the Ministry of Intelligence should truly have the freedom to disqualify them." The newspaper Jahane San'at describes "growth in monetary base, reduction in bank debts" as part of the Central Bank's achievements over the past year, noting that "the 1.3% growth in the monetary base has led to liquidity exceeding 832 trillion tomans." According to this newspaper, Peyman Ghorbani, the Deputy Economic Governor of the Central Bank, during a press conference on Tuesday regarding the Central Bank's performance over the past year stated: "The 1.3% growth in the monetary base, liquidity exceeding 832 trillion tomans, an increase in the net foreign assets of the Central Bank, a 5560 billion toman increase in the Central Bank's claims against the government, and a reduction in bank debts to the Central Bank are the achievements of the Central Bank over the past year." Peyman Ghorbani stated: "Liquidity growth in the 12 months ending in July 2015 was 22.7%, and the liquidity volume reached 832 trillion and 380 billion tomans. The monetary base at the end of July reached 132 trillion and 900 billion tomans, which is a 1.3% increase compared to the end of the previous year." The Deputy Governor also stated: "In the first four months of this year, the net foreign assets of the Central Bank increased by 7700 billion tomans, and the Central Bank's claims against the public sector grew by 5560 billion tomans, while bank debts to the Central Bank decreased by 2500 billion tomans, and other items also decreased by 9100 billion tomans." The newspaper Jahane San'at also quotes Peyman Ghorbani stating: "The monetary multiplier has also grown by 5%" and "the growth in the net foreign assets of the Central Bank is due to changes in the exchange rate and not a monetary effect," while "the monetary multiplier at the end of July reached 6.26, and liquidity growth in the first four months of this year was 6.4%." This newspaper reports that Hamid Tehranfar, the supervisory deputy of the Central Bank, also announced on Tuesday that 200 to 250 bank branches have been reduced, stating: "Given the advancements in the electronic banking sector, banks are compelled to not only not increase branches but also reduce 200 to 250 of them, and this year we will witness a faster pace in the reduction of bank branches." The newspaper Arman quotes Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani regarding the statements of the former police chief, saying: "What was revealed was part of the conspiracies," while the newspaper Qanoon reports on continued reactions to the former police chief's interview, stating that if Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam's statements in his recent interview are "correct," the judiciary should arrest and prosecute Ahmadinejad due to his involvement in the country's turmoil and threats to national security. According to the newspaper Arman, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, during his trip to Mashhad, stated in a speech to clergy and students in Khorasan Razavi province: "What the former police chief revealed these days was part of the same conspiracy that had previously been partially disclosed." The newspaper Qanoon also writes: "The day that Ali Motahari explicitly stated that Ahmadinejad should also be prosecuted due to the events following the 2009 elections, those around him who had supported him for years did not cease their stubbornness and protested against Motahari," but now "the further we move away from those days and officials lose their positions, the more they express statements that prepare public opinion for the trial of Ahmadinejad." Qanoon recalls that everyone remembers that after the 2009 elections, while "supporters of one of the presidential candidates protested against the results, Ahmadinejad, by insulting them, provoked the anger of many people," and although "this action was condemned by many principlists, the President of the ninth and tenth governments never apologized for his statements, even though his actions caused turmoil and, better said, some clashes at that time." This newspaper writes that Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam, "the former police chief who remained silent during that time, today says to the President [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] that by calling people 'dirt' you disrupted the country. This means that Ahmadinejad himself was involved in the chaos of that time." The newspaper Qanoon, referring to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's office statement rejecting the former police chief's remarks, writes: "Ahmadinejad, who has shown that he accepts no responsibility for any of the actions during his presidency, has once again shrugged off responsibility, stating that Ahmadi-Moghaddam was not at my level, burying the issue with a statement." This newspaper simultaneously refers to Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam's earlier statements, writing: "The former police chief is not the first to inflame society with his statements. Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam, at a time when rumors of his arrest filled the country, came to state television to deny these claims and there he spoke of administrative corruption in the country and even publicly discussed the relocation of judges in corruption cases in front of 80 million Iranians." The newspaper Qanoon emphasizes that this "claim was not made by an ordinary individual or in the streets, but was made by a man who had monitored the most important secrets of the country for years and sometimes decisions were made based on those documents," writing: "If Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam's claims regarding these issues are correct, the judiciary, considering Ahmadinejad's involvement in the country's turmoil and threats to national security, should arrest and prosecute him, and there should be an investigation into how accurate Ahmadi-Moghaddam's statements are.
