Since ISIS has already slumped to heavy defeats in recent months, such a conflict cannot bring the outcome Trump expects. Also, a military attack on North Korea is undoable for numerous reasons. However, as for Iran, Trump knows that by imposing extensive sanctions he can make serious difficulties for this country. Therefore, Iran should not provide him with any excuses to carry out his threats.<br \/>\nEvidently, U.S. would lose its trustworthy in the world if it nixes JCPOA, but this has no use for Iran. Moreover, believing that Europe would not join U.S. in this regard is a temporary relief. Europeans will not exit JCPOA and might even object to such a measure, but they will not jeopardize their trade relations with U.S. for Iran\u2019s sake.<br \/>\nTo sum up, Iran has already suffered economic consequences of sanctions, not to mention the corruption resulted from skirting those sanctions. So let\u2019s not give a justification to the U.S. Congress and Senate to return us to those years.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Shargh&#8221; daily on October 11, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Trump\u2019s Exiting JCPOA: Any Effect on Iran Economy?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis editorial discusses the impact of U.S. exiting JCPOA on Iran\u2019s economy.<br \/>\nDonald Trump might decertify Iran\u2019s compliance with the nuclear deal this week. The question is whether Iran will suffer any damages from it. First of all, as American and European economic systems are closely connected, JCPOA\u2019s falling apart would affect Iran\u2019s relationship with Europe. Also, Iran\u2019s banking relations with the world hurts most. Of course, it should be mentioned that so far JCPOA has had an impact of less than 5% on Iran\u2019s banking relations with other countries. Therefore, U.S. reneging on a commitment to JCPOA cannot have a tangible effect on Iran\u2019s relations with the world.<br \/>\nAnother significant point is that Iran\u2019s is pursuing a replacement policy, namely, it is boosting its relations with Russia and China&#8211;instead of U.S. and its allies&#8211; which are more committed to their promises and not under U.S. pressure. Besides, Iran\u2019s economic trade is changing course, that is, instead of exchanging goods for currencies like dollar and Euro, it is directly exchanging goods for goods. As for fulfilling the country\u2019s need for foreign currency, Iran is turning to countries such as Turkey, India, China, and Russia.<br \/>\nThe editorialist concludes that if Trump ditches JCPOA, other countries will lose more than Iran as they will lose their customer.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Tejarat&#8221; online on October 10, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>President or Prime Minister?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis editorial argues whether Iran\u2019s system of government can change from presidential to parliamentary.<br \/>\nRecently some of Iran\u2019s lawmakers have posed the issue of altering the country\u2019s system from presidential to a parliamentary one. Their rationale is that the government has not coordinated enough with parliament; so with a prime minister elected by parliament, no such problem will exist.<br \/>\nHowever, such a change in Iran\u2019s system is questionable for the following reasons. First, accepting a parliamentary system necessitates accepting a multi-party electoral system. At a country like Iran where a multi-party electoral system is not tolerated, what can a parliament-elected prime minister do? The second question is: Does Iran\u2019s parliament represent its whole society? Wasn\u2019t this parliament formed when major members of its reformists\u2019 Omid [Hope] faction were disqualified?<br \/>\nThird, is the failure of development plans an outcome of the presidential system? Has this parliament done its share of improving the quality of legislation? Finally, if the country had a parliamentary system in 1997, would it elect the same person that people voted for, namely, the leader of the reformist party Mohammad Khatami?<br \/>\nThe editorialist infers that no matter how essential reform is in Iran, it cannot happen through replacing president by the prime minister.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Setareh Sobh&#8221; on October 9, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Corruption within Fighting Corruption<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis editorial discusses how fighting corruption in Iran has become a kind of corruption itself.<br \/>\nIranian people demand the establishment to prevent corruption of individuals, political parties, and influential groups. Yet ways of combatting corruption have obviously deviated from its main course. Therefore, people no longer take seriously reports on curbing corruption and think any corruption-related arrest is related to political-factional clashes.<br \/>\nThe point is that struggle for power in Iran lacks transparency, efficiency, and rationality. So political factions, instead of presenting deliberate plans, focus on their opponents\u2019 weaknesses, divulging their corruption-related activities just to gain people\u2019s votes. Usually, at the peak of election campaigns, fighting corruption escalates and decreases when over.<br \/>\nOnce individuals are arrested on corruption charges but without any clear information, people suspect it concerns competing factions settling accounts with their rivals. This doubt means that fighting corruption itself might involve corruption. Even when a non-governmental individual who cannot use government resources for committing corruption gets arrested, people have the same doubts.<br \/>\nTo minimize that, the editorialist concludes that people should be informed about reasons of such arrests in an honest, open manner as soon as possible and media of all political factions, without any discrimination, should have access to such information.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Jahane Sanat&#8221; in October 8, 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><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u2666\u00a0<\/span>Ahmadinejad to be put on trial soon<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3663\" src=\"https:\/\/arabiangcis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/mahmoud-ahmadinejad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1249\" height=\"796\" \/><br \/>\nFormer Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is getting ready to go to court.
