Afarinesh Newspaper: The Council also voted for the new ministers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An editorial in Wednesday\u2019s Afarinesh newspaper concerned the previous day\u2019s parliamentary vote of confidence on the three new ministers recently appointed by President Rouhani. The editorial said that while Tuesday\u2019s ballot ended, as expected, with a unanimous vote of confidence in the new Ministers for Culture, Education, and Youth and Sports, it was noteworthy that Rouhani attended the parliamentary session and delivered a speech defending his choice of ministers, reflecting his wish to demonstrate his interest in and appreciation of the parliamentarians, which the writer said was a positive change from the indifference of the previous president, Ahmadinejad. The editorial added that two of the three ministers approved in Tuesday\u2019s vote had previously been rejected for ministerial posts in 2013 when Rouhani was forming his last cabinet, adding that the new vote of confidence demonstrated the shifting balance of power within the parliament following the recent elections in the first half of this year.
\nThe vote had reassured Rouhani\u2019s government of the great strength and ability of moderates within the parliament, the writer asserted, particularly after false claims of reformist status by some fundamentalists who had joined the \u2018Omid list\u2019 simply to attain parliamentary seats, which had resulted in a lack of trust from the government in the control and supremacy of moderates in parliament.
\nThe success of the three ministers in obtaining the vote of confidence confirmed that those MPs who joined the Parliament under false pretenses made up only a small percentage of the total number of parliamentarians, the writer stated, showing that moderates are the dominant power in the parliament.
\nIn reality, contrary to the editorialist\u2019s claims, the vote of confidence in the three new ministers proves not that moderates control the parliament, but that Rouhani has acceded to the Supreme Leader Khamenei\u2019s wishes after pressure from Hawza to replace the Ministers of Culture and Youth and Spots. Moreover, the education minister was replaced following the discovery of large-scale mismanagement and corruption in the ministry, which was referred to by Rouhani in his parliamentary address on Tuesday, in which he also stated that the cabinet reshuffle was based on the opinions and guidance of the Supreme Leader. This clearly shows that vote of confidence in the new ministers is nothing to do with reflecting any moderate groundswell among parliamentarians in favor of Rouhani against the conservative bloc; on the contrary, the disgruntled reformists were close to rejecting the new ministers, only continuing their alliance with Rouhani since there is no plausible alternative as a leader.<\/p>\n

Donyai Eghtisad Newspaper: Elections and Economic Growth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An editorial in Wednesday\u2019s Donyai Eghtisad newspaper focused on the impact of election campaigning on expected growth rates for the Iranian economy, with the next presidential election set to take place next year. The editorial said that the annual growth rate had reached 4.5 percent in spring of 2016, impact of election campaigning with the approach of the next presidential election about the numbers that announces the economic growth. The editorial says the announcement in spring of this year that the rate of increase had reached 4.5 percent produced mixed reactions and different analyses. Most pf the responses fell into two groups; the first group, the government\u2019s critics, had questioned the validity of the statistics used and suggested that the rate given was unrealistic. The second group, primarily composed of state officials, insisted that the growth rate figure indicated an economic boom and could be heralded as an announcement that economic recession had ended.
\nThe editorial, which attempts to discuss the matter impartially from its viewpoint, says that growth is unlikely to reach this rate, because there are international sources such as the International Monetary Fund, talking about a growth rate of between 4% and 6%. Following some precision, growth can be seen occurring in oil, steel, petrochemical production rate, and there is growth in trade abroad. On officials\u2019 words that Iran has emerged from the recession, it is true, but the problem is the continuation of the growth rates, to compensate the recession that lasted for years, which surrounded by suspicions largely. It is expected a reversal in the rate of growth because the current capacity of the Iranian economy was able to overcome the negative growth phase but cannot increase the growth rates as long as the Iranian economy did not address chronic problems. The first problem is the decline in investment in the period between 2009 and 2013, which is notable in the poor infrastructure of the Iranian economy. Iran is currently experiencing a deterioration in the infrastructure, for example, deterioration in the field of transport and energy poor situations. As well as the deterioration of industrial facilities machinery and technical backwardness compared to neighboring countries at least, the Iranian economy moved away from the global market more than a decade, as well as the problems that the Iranian regime faces in dealing with the global and financial system. The editorial sees that with the approach of electoral contests, it should not be subjected to the pressure of media and moving toward short-term policies that make temporary achievements, which easy to be monitored by media, but not in interest of the national economy, the state must develop strategic plans based on ending the era of oil financial abundance.<\/p>\n

Shargh Newspaper: Asaluyeh, from a desert to an Iranian capital of energy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Shargh Newspaper\u2019s editorial on Wednesday evaluated the economic growth achieved by Asaluyeh area overlooking the Arabian Gulf opposite the Qatari coast. The editorial says that Asaluyeh currently provides tens of billions of dollars in hard currency for the Iranian economy. In the early days of Zangana, the oil minister in office in the Khatami era, this area was a desert close to a small village; it is now the capital of energy in Iran. Asaluyeh now is the base of petrochemical production in Iran, such as methane and methanol as well as ethane gas and high-value petrochemical products such as polyethylene and polypropylene as they are considered as the basis of modern industries. Otherwise, the development that has occurred in Asaluyeh, Iran was not able to overcome the period of the siege. Iran has gained foreign exchange in the worst days of the ban. The problem that Asaluyeh is facing now are talks about the sale of raw materials by the Iranian petrochemicals before processing which is what happened in the petrochemical complexes in Tabriz and Arak in northern and central Iran already. That has also occurred in Jam compound, but with less damage since the raw materials were sold in their intermediate state after some refinement had taken place. The editorial calls to open an investigation into this matter and stand on who is behind this erroneous policy, which is destroying the industrial base in Asaluyeh.<\/p>\n
