Under the Microscope: The Intifada Conference in Tehran - 2002-06-03

Under the Microscope: The Intifada Conference in Tehran - 2002-06-03. In the program on Monday, June 3, Dr. Alireza Noori Zadeh answered questions from Farah Jahangiri regarding the holding of the Imam Khomeini Conference and the Palestinian Intifada in Tehran despite the security risks resulting from support for the participating groups. The peaceful conclusion of the impeachment of the Minister of Housing and Urban Development and the suspension of the impeachment of Mr. Kharrazi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, were also discussed. The statements of the Speaker of the Sixth Majlis regarding his non-candidacy for the presidency, the issue of selling density, and the conflicts among members of the City Council and the municipality in this regard were addressed. Dr. Noori Zadeh stated that despite the efforts of part of the Islamic Republic's establishment and the repeated warnings of political experts in Iran, it seems that the authoritarian forces led by Ayatollah Khamenei continue their activities to tie Iran's fate to the Palestinian issue, the latest example being the renewed holding of a conference with the participation of extremist Palestinian groups in Tehran under the guise of the anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini's death. The issue of selling density has also become one of the pressing problems of the day, and currently, the conflicts of the Tehran City Council revolve around this issue, with the Asgarzadeh and Atrianfar groups continuing to use this issue in their efforts for success in the upcoming council elections in Esfand. Once again, financial issues and the exchange of financial accusations between the authoritarian and reformist factions and violent conflicts between representatives of the two factions in the Sixth Majlis were highlighted. With the conclusion of the impeachment saga of the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, reports indicate the suspension of the impeachment of Mr. Kharrazi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, which had been proposed by Kurdish representatives.
