“Iran is greater than party rivalries,” Ebtikar Newspaper criticizes the moral decline of political rivalry between Rouhani and Khamenei personnel. The editorial says that Iran is currently witnessing an unprecedented embittered war of words and reputations between heads of Judiciary and Executive Branch. Accusing the President of espionage has never happened before. The conflict between senior officials has gone too far and on impractical things. For example, Prosecutor of Mashhad, supported by Jumaa Imam, attacked the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance because of concert licensing, which has turned into offense and slinging mud between both of them. Based on these assumptions, the editorial calls senior officials to resort to the Supreme Council in the case of disputes among the three authorities. In Fact, Iran is suffering Dual power form of regime, which is grounded in the constitution and in governmental organizations. The Iranian regime structure consists of two powers, an elected president and another appointed by the Supreme Leader. In light of political rivalry between Khamenei and Rouhani over the past six months, there is a need to maintain political stability in the country, which can be achieved only by Rouhani’s displacement or death of Khamenei.
“Enhancing reliability of health sector,” Jehan Senaat Newspaper handled the problems facing the Iranian health care, and the desire to turn it into an investment sector due to the growth of medical tourism. The editorial said that global investments in health and medications sectors are two times oil and gas investments, and the Iranian share in these sectors is almost nothing. According to the Iranian Health Minister, the problem is that 64% of hospitals belong to the public sector, and 80% of patients checking in with these hospitals that are the most heavily indebted among governmental sectors. Indeed, Iran suffers poor medical care in most provinces mainly in Ahwaz that protested governmental ignorance of their basic needs last month. However, treatment and care are offered to Shiites from Iraq, Azerbaijan and Pakistan free of charge, in addition to hospitals that are being established in the Iranian sphere of influence in other countries. In reality, Iran has gained a reputation in medical tourism and plastic surgery, meanwhile, a lot of Iranians die due to poor medical care.
“Cooperation of Ministries to prioritize children’s concerns,” Iran newspaper handled the conference that was held by Minister of Cooperation and Social Development with the presence of fifteen governmental organizations, concerning creating a national working group dedicated to tackling problems of children. Some of these problems were an addiction, child abuse, poverty, and school dropout. These institutions vanished during Ahmadinejad’s era since they represent the basic ground of reformists. On the other hand, revolutionary charity organizations have given no assistance in this concern although their enormous capabilities, meanwhile, they dedicate their efforts to help families in Afghanistan and Pakistan that lost their children belonging to Alfatimioun and Alzainabioun Brigade in the war in Syria.
