Jamshid Chalangi:
In tonight’s program of Behind the Headlines we will look at the execution of two gold traders on charges of “economic corruption” and ask if this action ends the economic crisis of Iran and what aim does the regime have by resorting to this type of inhumane actions.
Also, why Javad Zarif has now opened his mouth and admitted that certain interestgroupings within the regime are involved in massive money laundering.
Also, we will look at the ongoing workers strikes across Iran and report on the Haftapeh sugar factory whose employees have now stormed the Friday prayers gathering in the city’s mosque to protest against the regime’s economic policies.
Also, we will find out how the regime’s policies have led to the 40 years of animosities between Iran and the US.
Our guests tonight are Dr. Ali Nourizadeh and Mehran Barati.
Dr. Ali Nourizadeh:
We have different types of regimes in the world, which range from democratic to despotic, but the Iranian regime is an exception because it is just a deceptive entity whose leaders just keep telling lies round the clock.
Its supreme leader Khamenei says that Iran is the most democratic country in the world and its president Rouhani says the sanctions have not affected Iran’s economy but at the same time injects 100 million dollars into the foreign exchange market of the country to save the value of the national currency.
In reality, Iran is ruled by a regime that is unable to manage every aspect of the country. Its foreign minister says money laundering is rampant among the officials but the parliament welcomes the rejection of FATF bill that aims to stop this money laundering.
Mehran Barati:
The end of all the problems of the country is now tied up to the end of this regime. We have never had any system of government in Iran’s history where feudalism, despotics, chaos and anarchy have joined together to rule over the nation.
On the one hand we have a nation that is on constant protest against every policy of the regime, and on the other hand we have a regime that all it does is to crack down on these protests.
This situation cannot continue forever and the end of the regime is in sight, but it is hard to say when.
