Rouhani’s Government Struggling With A New Scandal: Illegal Car Imports
Nearly 6,000 foreign-made vehicles were illegally ordered between July 19 and December 30, 2017, while the Industry Ministry’s official website for registration of vehicle import requests was hacked and not functioning at the time.
Officially approved imports receive subsidized foreign currency from the state and that opens the door to various corruption schemes.
In the meantime, Iran’s Central Bank on July 1 published the names of 1,500 companies and individuals who received millions of dollars at the government rate of 42,000 rials and mostly offered their goods at the free market rate, which is almost double (on the free market, one dollar is offered for 83,000 rials).
French shipping firm CMA CGM ends Iran ops due to U.S. sanctions threat
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (Reuters) – French shipping group CMA CGM has decided to pull out of Iran following the Trump administration’s decision to renew sanctions on companies operating in the country, its chief executive said on Saturday.
Some other big shipping companies like A.P. Moller-Maersk have already said they would halt business ahead of a reimposition of sanctions following the United States’ decision to pull out of the 2015 Iran nuclear accord.
This morning, the religious and terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran hurriedly executed eight individuals under the guise of association with ISIS in order to overshadow its growing domestic and internationally scandal due to the exposure of its terrorist and criminal attempt against the Grand Gathering of Iranians in France.
The Iranian regime’s attempt for bombing amongst innocent people in France is exactly similar to ISIS operations; however, after one of its diplomat-terrorist and other terrorists were arrested while carrying explosives, it is trying to pretend being away from ISIS with these executions at this specific juncture.
