We Have Reached 'River Raiding' After 'Mountain Raiding'

The newspaper Javan, close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in its Thursday issue referred to the activities of the 'Combatant Clergy Association' and the 'Association of Researchers and Teachers of Qom Seminary,' two clerical groups close to reformists for the upcoming elections, describing the members of these two groups as 'revisionists' and emphasizing that they have 'lost their general qualifications.' The newspaper Iran, in its front page headline, reported on 'parliamentarians' criticism of the one-sided behavior of the JCPOA Commission' and the ongoing reactions to Saeed Jalili's statements in this commission, stating: 'Although the spokesman for the special commission on the JCPOA in parliament has denied any political interference by this commission with the JCPOA, some members and representatives insist that the management of the commission's sessions is not impartial.' The newspaper Aftab Yazd also highlighted the televised remarks of Saeed Jalili in the JCPOA Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, noting: 'Yesterday, state television broadcast the recent JCPOA Commission meeting with the presence of Saeed Jalili, the former head of our nuclear negotiating team, in which Jalili did two important things: first, he undermined the JCPOA and then he praised and thanked himself for his performance.' Aftab Yazd pointed out that the former head of the nuclear negotiating team stated in this meeting: 'In some cases, the agreement has humiliated the system,' while 'all the prominent figures and authorities of the system and the grand jurists have repeatedly stated that the negotiators performed well in these negotiations and the JCPOA has many strengths.' The newspaper Arman, while publishing a report on the phenomenon of 'river raiding,' stated: 'We have moved from mountain raiding to river raiding.' This newspaper published statements from the head of the Parliament's Civil Commission regarding the phenomenon of 'river raiding' and the appropriation of riverbanks, stating: 'It seems that if the programmers do not take the new versions of the malicious virus seriously, a more complete version of this virus will soon emerge under names like desert raiding, plain raiding, and peak raiding.' The newspaper Shahrvand reported with the headline 'A Generation That Is Freezing,' about 'a new social event for childbearing in the coming years.' This newspaper mentioned the possibility of 'freezing eggs or sperm' for future childbearing and the growing use of it in Iran, stating: 'Freezing eggs in the 20s, when the body is at its highest readiness for producing healthy eggs, can create peace of mind, even for those who have initially planned to marry early and complete the warm family with the birth of two or even several children, but for those who have no outlook on their situation, egg freezing is a complete guarantee.' This newspaper, in a note titled 'A Suggestion to Mr. Rouhani,' urged the President of the Eleventh Government to implement the law on free access to information regarding some confidential reports about certain events. The Shahrvand newspaper referred to 'the report of the Inspection Organization regarding the recent floods and their casualties,' stating that this report has not been made available to the media and the public due to its 'confidentiality,' while 'until supervisory reports are communicated to the public and become a public flow, these reports diminish in the relationships between government agencies and the loans they give to each other and gradually fade into oblivion.' The statements of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic on Wednesday were published on the front page of most newspapers on Thursday. The newspaper Etemad published Ali Khamenei's statements from Wednesday with the headline 'A Religious Duty, Protecting Every Iranian Vote' and the newspaper Shargh referred to 'the Supreme Leader's emphasis on the integrity of all elections in the past 37 years,' quoting him: 'Each and every vote of the people is a right of others.' The newspaper Javan, in its front page, quoted the Supreme Leader stating: 'Standing against the annulment of the 2009 elections was a defense of the rights of others.' This newspaper also quoted Ali Khamenei saying: 'By the grace of God, in the next 25 years, there will be no such thing as the Zionist regime in the region.' The newspaper Resalat also quoted the Supreme Leader stating: 'The supervisory oversight of the Guardian Council is part of that right of others.' The newspaper Shargh, on the occasion of the 8th of Shahrivar, the anniversary of Mahmoud Taleghani's death, dedicated its front page to this cleric from the early years after the revolution, referring to him as 'the vanguard of resistance and freedom.' The newspaper Teadul reported, quoting Eisa Kalantari, the advisor to the President on water affairs, that '600 lakes in Iran are at risk of drying up.' The newspaper Qanoon, in a report about 'the controversial kick of a journalist to a refugee father and son,' wrote: 'The controversial photo of a Hungarian female journalist has created a wave of distress on social media.' According to this newspaper, 'Images of a group of refugees fleeing from the Hungarian police have been published, in which 'Petra Laszlo, a television camerawoman, kicked to prevent the refugees from escaping.' This action 'led to her dismissal' and, of course, 'provoked the anger of human rights activists and organizations defending the rights of refugees.'
