The\nInternational Institute for Iranian Studies (Rasanah) has issued its monthly\nreport, Iran Case File<\/em> for September 2019, providing readers\nin general and researchers in particular an accurate and detailed review of\nIranian affairs, exploring its features and interactions at various\nlevels. The report is divided into three main parts: Internal Affairs,\nInternational Affairs and Arab Affairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Internal Affairs,\nparticularly in The Political File<\/em>, explores the corruption penetrating the Iranian\ngovernment\u2019s institutions, which cannot be hidden from the Iranian people\nanymore.  Despite the government’s desire\nto maintain an ideal image of its figures, the crackdown on corruption led by\nthe current head of the judiciary Ebrahim Raisi, is one of the Iranian government\u2019s\ntools to improve the deteriorating economic conditions in the country which\nhave worsened since the United States imposed sanctions on Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Economic File<\/em> discusses the\nattacks against the Saudi oil installations in September 2019 in Abqaiq and\nKhurais. US President Donald Trump announced a new package of economic sanctions\non Iran, which included the Central Bank of Iran, the National Development Fund\nand Etemad Tejarat Pars. These sanctions will lead to a deterioration in Iran\u2019s\neconomy and constitute a decisive factor in shaping the realities and future of\nthe Iranian economic situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Military File<\/em> explores the\ninterpretations of several observers in which they discuss why the attacks\nagainst Saudi oil installations were successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Arab\nAffairs<\/em>, Iran continues to implement its schemes in Syria, taking advantage\nof the success of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s government in controlling more Syrian\nterritory with the help of Russia and Iran. It also boosted its efforts to\nestablish military bases in Syrian territories, especially near the\nSyrian-Iraqi borders amid continued competition with the Russians to get\nreconstruction and infrastructure contracts. With regard to Yemen and the\nIranian role there, the Houthi militia claiming responsibility for the attacks on\nAramco represented further evidence of its subordination to Iran. The Houthis\nannounced their initiative of de-escalation and stopping attacks against Saudi\nArabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for International\nAffairs<\/em>,\nIran believed that the sacking of US National Security Adviser John Bolton\nwould bring a change in the US position on dealing with Iran. When Bolton was\ndismissed, the US position did not change as a new package of sanctions was\nimposed along with renewed calls for negotiations. The report concludes that the\nnew development is the enhancement of the US military presence in the Arabian\nGulf due to Iran\u2019s hostile acts that threaten maritime navigation and\ncompromise the security of the region’s countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the report explores Russian-Iranian relations, analyzing how Iran seeks by all means to deepen cooperation with Russia and the member states of the Eurasian Economic Cooperation Organization (EECO) in order to mitigate the impact of US sanctions. It floated the project of banking interconnection between the Interbank Information Transfer Network, known as Shetab<\/em> and Russia\u2019s Mir to facilitate transfers among individuals and institutions in the two countries in order to avoid conducting dealings using SWIFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
