<<Trading In Tehran Bazaars Comes To A Halt Amid Currency's Fall
Trading in Tehran markets has largely come to a halt as the currency rial is
near its all-time low, Iran International has learned from merchants and
traders. A textile trader told Iran International that <For now we have stopped
selling our goods because we have no guarantee we can refill our stocks.> He
added that <a lot of merchants have lost money because their payables are in
dollars while they have to sell their goods in rials.> Local media reported that
the Central Bank of Iran intervened in the currency market by injecting $700
million in UAE dirhams on Sunday and the rial margi-nally rose from its all-time
low of 600,000 against the US dollar. But such a sizeable intervention has not
produced the desired result of stabilizing the rial. First, the currency rose to
560,000 but after a few hours it dropped again, trading at more than 580,000 to
the USD on Monday evening. Parliament continued a third day of meetings about
the currency crisis but there is little the legislature can do, except asking
questions from President Ebrahim Raisi's government. On Saturday, the
president's top economic aide, Mohammad Mokhber told lawmakers, <This is what it
is,> rudely dismissing their criti-cism. The fact that the reported monetary
intervention was conduc-ted using UAE dirhams instead of US dollars might
indicate a short-age of greenbacks in the central bank. The same grim news about
a halt in trading came from the goldsmiths market in Tehran, where the
fast-fluctuating currency rates have forced retailers to hold on to their gold
and jewelry. A currency dealer told Iran International that curbside trading has
become highly risky as plainclothes security agents are everywhere in areas
where usually people buy and sell foreign currencies. Trading has also decreased
in the food whole-salers' market where one trader said goods such as sugar, oil
and rice that can be stored have been shipped to warehouses, not to be sold
until there is clarity with the value of the rial. Pundits urged the government
to tell the people what plans it has to tackle the crisis, but officials seemed
bewildered and confused. The speaker of parlia-ment Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (Qalibaf)
was quick on Monday to claim that his fiefdom had predicted the currency crisis
more than a month before and had warned the government. Others simply urged the
government to <do something.> Tehran's Friday Prayer Imam, Kazem Sedighi, told
the people to pray to fix the country's problems. <We are in an economic war,>
he said, just as the pioneers in Islam had to fight the unbelievers, this is
also a holy war.> >>

<<Government Tries To Bar Businessmen From Iran Chambers Of Commerce
Over 40 percent of candidates running for chambers of commerce in Iran who are
somewhat independent of the government were dis-qualified by a supervisory body.
Disqualifications have been so widespread that the actual elections of chambers
of commerce, in-dustries, mines and agriculture often referred to as <private
sector's parliament>, had to be postponed from February 29 to March 10 to allow
investigation of candidates’ complaints. Mehdi Karbasian, a former deputy
minister of industries, mines and trade, who repre-sents several high-profile
companies, and Masoud Khansari, the incumbent chairman of Tehran Chamber of
Commerce, the most influential chamber in the country, are among the candidates
who have been disqualified. Khansari had recently disclosed more than $10
billion of capital outflow from Iran per year. In a commentary entitled
<Butchering Chamber of Commerce Election [Candidates] Following Increase of
Businessmen's Criticism of Raisi Government>, Aftab News website on Saturday
said disqualified candidates believe due to profuse criticisms of the government
policies by businessmen and chambers, the ministry of industries, mines and
trade has deci-ded to take control and only allow its own supporters to take the
key positions. Iran's economic crisis has deepened in recent months as the
national currency has lost more than half of its value and hyper-inflation is
feared in the next few months. Prominent businessmen holding positions in
chambers of commerce have urged the govern-ment to change its foreign policy and
end US economic sanctions.>>

<<Iranians Have Lost Trust In Their Government, Says Sociologist
An Iranian reformist cleric says two hardliner factions in Iran control the
whole political system and prevent a dialogue to make changes or revise the
constitution. Ahmad Mazani, who was also a lawmaker, likened one group of
hardliners to the Islamic State militant group. However, he said that both
hardliner factions are reactionaries.
Speaking at the congress of the pro-reform Mardomsalari (Democracy) Party, on
Thursday, Mazani said one of the two poles consists of political dwarves. He was
presumably referring to the Raisi administration. Also, in an apparent reference
to ultracon-
servatives who challenge the government from within, he called one faction an
ISIS-like pole that has deprived Iranians from their right to run <an ordinary
life>. Meanwhile, in an interview with the website of Iranian Sociologists’
Association, prominent academic Mohammad Fazeli said that the current situation
in Iran is marked by people's deep distrust of the government. Fazeli argued
that <in the absence of trust in the government people do not have any long-term
plans. In an economy with a double-digit inflation rate and under economic
sanctions, political pressures, and the government's intervention in the
citizen's private lives, those who have the finan-cial resources will not invest
in a factory. They will instead purchase gold and foreign currencies for
short-term profit. Opportunism and short-term planning will become a
characteristic of a society in which the people do not trust the government.
Such a situation does not leave too many choices for citizens, he said.> <When
the house is on fire, you have only two choices, jumping out of the window or
taking the fire exit to make it to safety,> he said, adding that <In a society
under pressure you cannot expect individuals to consider a series of options.
Even if there are really some other options, people tend to choose the ones that
help them save themselves as soon as possible.> Asked if Iran's future is going
to be as horrible as some analysts portray, Fazeli said, <I cannot say for sure,
but I can only say it can well end up that way. We have seen other countries in
similar situations in the Middle East, the Balkans and Africa. Whet-her the same
thing will happen in Iran depends on other factors,> but did not elaborate.
Fazeli said, <The Iranian state television, for instance, has said that as a
media outlet that has to convey the government's messages, it has been losing
audience during the past years. This is an example of loss of social capital.
So, the state television in Iran is no longer a media outlet for the people of
Iran. It is a radio and television organization that broadcasts to a small group
of people and likes to convince them, not the nation as a whole.> >>

<<Academic Warns Iran's Khamenei Of A Dangerous Collapse
A prominent Iranian economist in a letter meant to reach Supreme Leader Ali
Khamenei has said that the Islamic Republic is in the final stage of its
downfall. Mohsen Renani, a professor at Isfahan Uni-versity, says that he gave
his paper to former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to hand it to Khamenei
some two months ago, but after a while Zarif came back and said he was unable to
deliver the letter to Khamenei. Renani decided to publish it on the social media
platforms Telegram. In the letter he argued that the downfall of any entity or
political or social structure has four stages, and its collapse happens with the
fourth stage. He further argued that the Islamic Republic is now at stage 4 and
it is not quite clear for how long it can resist the collapse. Furthermore,
Renani warned that attempting to bring about a revolution from the top to avoid
the downfall will add to the probability of a collapse. According to Renani, the
downfall of any institution or government has two dimensions and four stages
which take place one after another: The first dimension, is the subjective
downfall which includes the two stages of collapse of efficiency and collapse of
competency. The second dimension, the objective downfall, consists of the two
stages of collapse of symbols and collapse of structures.
Iran, according to Renani has left behind the first three stages and is now in
the final stage, that is the collapse of its structures. He argued: <We all know
that Iran will go through a stage of transition from the current impasse, but we
need to make sure that the government will choose the least costly way of
transition. It depends on the government to relive the experience of South
Africa and Chile, or the ones that happened to Libya and Syria. Iran's national
interests call for thinking of a violent revolutionary development is the very
last choice.> He added: <I publish this text to tell the families who have
suffered during the protests and their children that their movement has had a
great achievement. I also wish to tell those inside the system who wish to take
a closer realistic look at the situation that perhaps there is still time to
save the country.>
Renani warned that a revolution from the bottom is inevitable. It can be averted
only if change starts from the top, if there is still time for that. The
government should not be deceived by relative calm. Instead of suppressing and
humiliating the new generation, the government should consider understanding and
respecting it and holding a dialogue with it. It is only in that case that
bringing about a change in the structure can facilitate Iran's future
development in a less costly way. However, at the current stage even a reform
from the top may not be able to save the system as it has lost its all
credibility. Nonetheless, it is the only thing that can be done at this stage if
the system can restore its credibility among the people, Renani said. <I know
that publishing this paper may enrage the government or it may make angry those
Iranians who think a violent regime change is the only solution for Iran's
crisis, but as an intel-lectual it is my responsibility to warn both sides,>
Renani reiterated.
Earlier, former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi had called for a regime
change and former reformist President Mohammad Khatami said that reformists have
no future in Iran although moving toward a regime change might lead to violence
and chaos in Iran. The reform camp supported Khatami's view and some seventy
politicians expressed their support for Mousavi's idea although he did not offer
a roadmap for the next steps.>>

<<Opposition Figures Say World A Safer Place Without Iranian Regime
Iran's exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi said in Munich that his country can play a
positive role in the world if opposition forces get support from friendly
countries. Pahlavi told the Munich Security Conference on Saturday that the
people of Iran are united and they expect the international community to support
their ideals. Women's rights activists Masih Alinejad and British-Iranian
actress and human rights activist Nazanin Boniadi as well as Hannah Neumann, a
member of the European Parliament, and Bob Menendez, Chairman of the US Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, also spoke at a meeting called <Woman, Freedom,
Life: Visions for Iran> on the second day of the conference. Pahlavi told the
forum that <We need to make a tran-sition as fast as possible because the
opportunity costs grow every day that goes by - it becomes more and more costly
for Iranians and not just for us but the rest of the world.> Elsewhere in his
remarks, he said millions of Iranians, who have fled the country since the
Islamic Revolution to become German, French, Canadian, and US citizens can be
back home serving their homeland. <What keeps them from contributing is a regime
that doesn't even listen to them because they're not interested in the welfare
of Iran,> he noted.
He called on the West to work with a different Iran, arguing that <a different
Iran would mean that you will have true allies who believe in the very same
principles of human rights and liberty.>
....
Talking about the significance of inviting Iranian opposition to the Munich
Security Conference he stated that <this is a perfect opportunity as we engage
with parliamentarians or leaders of different governments to discuss what
exactly can be done besides maximum pressure. We are also hoping to have maximum
support for the people in Iran … in areas that can be immediately done, for
instance, internet access or a strike fund to support striking workers and the
funding of it.> Pahlavi said what Iran needs is solidarity in the principles
that people are fighting for, raising hope that the countries who hold talks
with Iranian representatives understand that their task is to be unified.
Alinejad also said she is very happy that for the first time she will not see
dictators from Iran at the Munich Security Conference and the conference has
invited people's representatives.Talking about the uprising of the Iranian
people against the regime, Alinejad said <clearly, we're not just fighting
against compulsory hijab. As we all know, compulsory hijab is the main pillar of
a religious dictatorship.> <Compulsory hijab is like the Berlin Wall. If we tear
this wall down, the religious dictator with Islamic Republic will be gone. So,
women are in the streets, shoulder to shoulder with men. They're saying that
enough is enough …Counting women like second class citizens, killing, torturing,
assassinating is in the DNA of the Islamic Republic. And that is why this
protest is taking place across Iran, to bring the Islamic Republic down.> <We
want the West to stop shaking the hand of this murderous regime. We want the
West to stop saving this regime. In 2009 people were in the streets calling on
Obama to support them, but at the same time, Obama's administration was trying
to get a [nuclear] deal.> She stressed that it has been two decades European
countries trying to have a deal with Iran, but so far they have achieved
nothing. <This is the time that the Europeans, Americans, they have to sign a
deal with Iranians, with the people of Iran, not with the government... The plan
B is very, very clear now. Iranians want regime change. We don't want you to say
regime change if you're scared of the word. But this is very, very important to
stand on the right side of the history.> Alinejad also warned that if the West
does not take strong action against the Islamic Republic, the IRGC is going to
come on US and European soil and assassinate non-Iranians. <Believe me, people
of Iran are better allies than these backward mullahs. You can count on us.> She
underscored that Iran without the Islamic Republic can be a better place and it
can help the rest of the world to be safe. <We are ready to have an Iran without
the Islamic Republic. We are wondering whether the West is ready or still they
sanction the Revolutionary Guard, the clerics and the other day they want to
negotiate with this murderous regime. Be ready for an Iran without Islamic
Republic.”> >>

<<Sunni Leader In Iran Says People's Wish For A Secular Government Must Be Met
Iran's most prominent Sunni leader Mowlana Abdolhamid has once again called for
a referendum in the country, saying people's wish for a secular government must
be met. During his Friday prayer sermon, the outspoken Sunni leader continued to
challenge the Islamic Repu-blic and its ruler Ali Khamenei by demanding
submission to the popular will, saying that an Islamic government must be
democratic according to practices in the early years of Islam. Pointing to the
ongoing disagreement between a large part of the nation and the regime, he said
the reasonable way out of this political impasse that would cause the least harm
is the submission of the Islamic Republic to rule and the will of the people.
<The Islamic Republic regime was established in Iran 44 years ago and since the
1979 revolution, a particular reading and understanding of Islam has been
prevalent in the country and it has been the same until now. But there is
another understanding of Islam that we believe in, and that is the justice of
Imam Ali,> referring to the fourth Caliph and the first Shiite Imam. <In this
view, there is not only one ruler and a permanent govern-ment; the ruler should
be determined by the people,> he added. He added, <There is no death sentence in
this reading of Islam. Forced confession is rejected and has no place. In this
view, people can easily criticize their ruler and government. There is freedom.>
Women should enjoy equal rights as men, so do all ethnic groups, religions, and
all human beings, Abdolhamid noted, adding that <The only solution to end the
differences is accepting the will of the majority of the people.> Elsewhere in
his remarks, he criticized the regime's plan to liquidate public assets and
grant immunity to the seven-man team responsible for its implementation. Such
properties belong to all the people, he underlined, adding that the <Iranian
people have a bitter memory of privatization.> Previously, under the guise of
privatization, public properties, factories and big companies were sold far
below market price to people or organizations with connections and influence, he
said. Moreover, he once again deman-ded the release of <imprisoned religious
leaders of various provinces, especially in provinces of Kordestan and
Sistan-Baluchistan> as well as other political and ideological prisoners. As is
the new normal in Zahedan, where Abdolhamid leads the Friday prayers, people
held demonstrations after they left the mosques on Friday and chanted slogans
against the Islamic Republic and its ruler Ali Khamenei. Similar rallies were
held in another city of the province, Khash.>>
