The writer believes such TV networks by dominating the minds of Iranian youth can jeopardize the future of the Iranian Republic regime.<br \/>\nMore than 60% of people in Iran watch a large number of Persian-language satellite TV networks that are active against the Iranian Republic of Iran establishment, according to the editorial. The reasons why people are drawn so such networks include censorship in IRIB (Iran state TV), lack of entertaining, appealing programs on IRIB, and people\u2019s interest in immoral shows aired from satellite TV networks.<br \/>\nIn order to attract the viewers of satellite TV networks, says the editorial, IRIB should institutionalize honesty in its organization, produce more appealing shows to meet the expectations of Iranian youth while observing religious standards, and also produce programs in which threats and attacks by satellite networks are addressed.<br \/>\nThe writer also rules out jamming satellite signals or rounding up satellite dishes from people\u2019s homes as short-term solutions which can only temporarily disrupt people\u2019s access to satellite TV networks.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An Editorial in &#8216;Asr Iranian&#8217; Newspaper on Monday, Jul. 31st, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Unprecedented tension between Moscow, Washington<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis editorial addresses recent tensions between Russia and the U.S., focusing on measures taken by the two countries against each other.<br \/>\nThe writer says following the fresh sanctions set against Russia by U.S. Congress, Russian President Vladimir Putin expelled 755 American diplomats from his country, an unprecedented measure since 1986.<br \/>\nThe editorial also quotes a number of Russian authorities in this regard, such as Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov who said the U.S. needs to recover from what he called \u201cpolitical schizophrenia\u201d, and Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov who noted, \u201cIf the U.S. side decides to move further towards further deterioration, we will answer&#8230;We will retaliate.\u201d<br \/>\nThe writer also states that the U.S. Vice President Mike Pence reacted to Russians by saying that he and President Trump hopes to see \u201cdifferent behavior by the Russian government, with regard to Ukraine, with regard to supporting rogue regimes in Iran and North Korea.\u201d<br \/>\nFinally, the editorialist juxtaposes two pieces of news: First, an announcement by Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite about the U.S. increasing its military presence on the territory of Lithuania on September 14-20 when the Russia-Belarus joint military exercises will be held.

Rouhani\u2019s government uses what the \u201cformer government\u201d did as an excuse in many fields, especially the economy and foreign policy. Although criticizing the former government and addressing the roots of problems is often necessary, it cannot be acceptable about each and every issue, including the house arrest.<br \/>\nThe editorial finds it understandable that the former President Ahmadinejad\u2019s radical approaches led to house arrest of Mousavi, Karroubi, and Rahnavard, once supporters of the Iranian Republic establishment. Yet it poses this question: what has Rouhani\u2019s government done in the past four years in this regard?<br \/>\nRouhani\u2019s limitations and Nobakht\u2019s concerns in this regard are comprehensible, but during the recent presidential elections in Iran, people from all over the country voiced their demands about house arrest of their leaders. The society can no longer accept silence or ambiguity and needs clarification about this issue, concludes the editorialist.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An Editorial in &#8216;Bahar&#8217; Daily on Wednesday, Aug. 2nd, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-436\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/Prominent-News-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"43\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u2666<\/span> Kamalvandi: Britain prevented Iran from purchasing uranium<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3345\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/08\/\u0628\u0647\u0631\u0648\u0632-\u0643\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0648\u0646\u062f\u064a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1154\" height=\"659\" \/><br \/>\nSpokesperson of Iran\u2019s Atomic Energy Organization Behrouz Kamalvandi said regarding Britain preventing Iran from purchasing uranium that this issue is being followed up, and was discussed in the sideline of the joint commission.
