The market had a lot of fluctuations on Tuesday, showing the ugly face of Iran\u2019s economy.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: on this day, two faces of the Iranian economy revealed themselves. On the one side, it is a government which, despite all its claims, is not transparent at all; on the other side, there are economic behaviors which are completely emotional and far from rationality. From an economy with such two sides, no improvement or development can be expected, as the necessary requirement for development doesn\u2019t exist.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: development can take place with either the government\u2019s policy or with people\u2019s desire. In a place where none of these exists, how can one have hopes for the future of the economy? As one of the agents of the development, the Iranian government has implemented 6 plans for economic development. The achievements of these development programs have been so insignificant that no additional explanation is needed. Severe economic dependence is just one of the results of these development plans.<br \/>\nThe editorial goes on to say: in reality, the content of these programs has been nothing but a few popular slogans, with a change in their tone every now and then. The government has still not defined its own place in the economy so people now where it stands. The government says it is after privatization and the market economy, but in practice, it doesn\u2019t let go of the economy. When the economy is based on oil and the oil revenue is in possession of the government, it should naturally be the government that must supply the currency in the market. That is why the government must take charge of the currency market; not doing anything against the fluctuation in the currency just proves that there is no transparency involved.<br \/>\nThe editorialist concludes: the government must now do something about the stock market. Knowing that the other side of the economy is emotional behavior, the government must intervene in the stock market and stop using the policy of making people nervous.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jahansanat.ir\/newspaper\/?newsid=129446\"> An editorial in Jahan Sanaat on October 3, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Can Iranian hardliners guarantee financial transaction with the world in absence of FATF?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Setareh Sobh newspaper focuses on the fact that Iranian hardliners cannot guarantee the continuation of financial relations with the world if Iran does not pass the bills for joining FATF (Financial Action Task Force).<br \/>\nThe editorial states: neither the JCPOA nor bills related to FATF cannot resolve all the problems of the country. The hardliners know this very well, which is why they are asking the government to guarantee that \u2018joining FATF will resolve all the issues in the country\u2019. But this is not so, and they are only pretending not to know this.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: in this regard, Karimi Ghodoosi, hardliner lawmaker from Mashhad, has said: \u2018our question from the government\u2019s representatives was if they were able to guarantee that by passing FATF, all monetary and banking issues of the country will be resolved\u2019. And he added: \u2018they all said no, they won\u2019t guarantee that, and no such thing will happen\u2019.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: this is obvious. Both the JCPOA and getting delisted from FATF\u2019s blacklist are just preliminary steps. It is something like \u2018security\u2019; only when it doesn\u2019t exist, it becomes clear how important it is. Looking at conditions today can show the significance of the JCPOA: while there was the JCPOA, everyone was looking for its fruits. However, despite the fact that the government exaggerated in some cases and raised the expectation of the society and its opponents, everyone felt the significance of the JCPOA when the US withdrew from it.<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes: it shouldn\u2019t be said that FATF will resolve all the problems of the country. The opponents of the government want to attribute any sanction to FATF, saying that it is the result of these bills and another treason. The hardliners must be asked if they are ready to guarantee that with Iran returning to FATF\u2019s blacklist, the country can continue its financial and trade relations with the world.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.setaresobh.ir\/fa\/news\/main\/36453\"> An editorial in Setareh Sobh on October 2, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Government\u2019s spokesperson must be appointed<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Mardomsalari newspaper deals with the significance of appointing a spokesperson for Rouhani\u2019s government \u2013 a position that has been vacant for a while\u2013 at the time when Iranian government already suffers from weakness in information team.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, the government hasn\u2019t had any spokesperson for two months. Mohammad Bagher Nobakht who, in addition to the head of Budget and Planning Organization, was the government\u2019s spokesperson for a long time, resigned from this position in early summer. As such, the government\u2019s tribune of accountability was closed, even though Rouhani\u2019s government never fully utilized it.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: meanwhile, proper and fast accountability of the governments to various developments and changes is one of the significant tools in managing the country\u2019s affairs. But as it was mentioned, the government\u2019s information team has not been successful so far. This issue was even pointed out by late Hashemi Rafsanjani.<br \/>\nThe editorial goes on to say: such criticisms, however, have never been taken seriously. And with shutting down the tribunal of the government\u2019s spokesperson, the conditions have worsened \u2013 particularly at a time when the country is in special conditions, due to particular economic conditions and crises resulting from all-out economic war with the US.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: many rumors are flying around, and people are perplexed about the future. Meanwhile, an active government spokesperson &#8212; who would only concentrate on government\u2019s accountability&#8211; can help in managing the society\u2019s mental atmosphere. When people see there are certain measures in the government\u2019s agenda to manage and control the situation, it will certainly have an impact on the market. But when the society faces the statesmen\u2019s silence at the time when it is necessary to react to severe fluctuations in prices, it is only natural for the country\u2019s economic conditions to be affected, and people to get increasingly worried.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/newspaper.mardomsalari.ir\/4705\/page\/1\/45873\"> An editorial in Mardomsalari on October 1, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Parliament\u2019s reservation, government\u2019s duty<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Arman daily demands that Iranian lawmakers should not impeach Rouhani\u2019s cabinet members and not creating more issues for the government which is already under a lot of pressure.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, Iran is currently facing the regional and international threats. Meanwhile, there are many problems inside the country. Iran is not in a desirable condition, which has made the national interests and integrity of the country very vulnerable. Lack of complete unanimity among the three branches provides the ground for mismanagement over the country.<br \/>\nThe editorial then continues: to get out of these conditions, it is required to have solidarity, unity, and convergence at all levels. Impeaching ministers, not filling certain positions \u2013 like those of Economy Minister, the government\u2019s spokesperson and ambassadors to big countries like China and India \u2013 all seem to indicate disintegration in management.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: under such conditions, it isn\u2019t expedient for the country to add to the problems of ministries such as Ministry of Road and Transportation and Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade. All political forces should ask the lawmakers to minimally use their legal rights to question, impeach and remove ministers, even though it is their right to do so.<br \/>\nThe editorial goes on to say: certainly replacing key ministers under such conditions is not only not helpful, but adds to the problems. Political groups and figures must ask the parliament to stop sacking the ministers through impeachment. Of course, the editorialist concludes, the government itself must make necessary changes when necessary.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.armandaily.ir\/fa\/news\/main\/234217\"> An editorial in Arman Emrooz on September 30, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> Russia\u2019s mediation over Syria<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe editorial of Ebtekar daily focuses on a recent announcement made by Russian\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as to Russia\u2019s readiness to host talks between Iran and Israel in Moscow.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, the news was very strange: Russia\u2019s readiness to mediate between Iran and Israel. After his speech in the UN General Assembly, Sergei Lavrov announced that Russia is ready to host talks between Iran and Israel in Moscow, adding that there should be talks between these two countries.<br \/>\nThe editorial asks: what is Russia\u2019s goal in bringing up the issue of talks between these two hostile countries? What is Russia\u2019s benefit in normalizing the relation between Iran and Israel? Is Russia thinking about Iran\u2019s national interests? The editorialist then responds: taking a look at Russia\u2019s past political relations with Iran very well shows that this country has always been after its own interests.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: Some media suggest that the main issue of these talks will be Syria. What Russians are looking for in these talks is strengthening their own presence in Syria. In other words, Russia and the US are after dividing Syria into two regions under their own influences, with regional actors like Iran, Turkey, and Israel kept away from it.<br \/>\nThe editorial adds: with influence in Syria, Russia enjoys the benefit of getting closer to the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. Giving S-300 air defense system must be viewed from this perspective. No doubt this system which is to be located in Syria &#8212; regardless of financial issues &#8212; will be managed by Russians themselves and will not be given to Syrian army.<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes: what exactly Russians are after in proposing these talks is not clear. But whatever it is, it might limit the presence of both Iran and Israel in Syria.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebtekarnews.com\/?newsid=120775\"> An editorial in Ebtekar news on September 30, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5061\" src=\"https:\/\/rasanah-iiis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/news.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Zibakalam: who is responsible for people\u2019s losses?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5587\" src=\"https:\/\/rasanah-iiis.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/1829232_642.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"473\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In a tweet, Sadegh Zibakalam, reformist academic, criticized the performance of the officials in the field of economy.
