00:00:30reported on the continuation of consultations for reducing flight restrictions in the country.
00:00:34Mr. Qanbari emphasized that these consultations will continue
00:00:37to be more purposeful and effective.
00:00:41On the sidelines of the tenth meeting of the Coordination Headquarters for
00:00:45Foreign Economic Relations, he also said: A working group has been formed to monitor
00:00:48and resolve the problems of the country's aviation industry
00:00:51following the recent sanctions. Regarding
00:00:55those flights that currently exist,
00:00:59plans were presented to stabilize these
00:01:02flights and to preserve them. Regarding
00:01:06routes that have faced obstacles,
00:01:10plans for replacing flights
00:01:13or providing ways to resume
00:01:16those flights were discussed.
00:01:18The unveiling ceremony for
00:01:22the book "Khunabe Minab" and the honoring of the families of the innocent child martyrs of Mina
00:01:26was held. The narration of this incident and its transmission to future generations
00:01:34is a universal responsibility. The government spokesman
00:01:38also referred to the fact that the Mina tragedy should be recorded in
00:01:41various forms and said: Cinema,
00:01:45theater, novels, poetry, and painting are tools
00:01:48that can show both the مظلومیت (oppression) of the Iranian people
00:01:52and the power and glory of humanity to the world.
00:01:55Everyone who has a human
00:01:59conscience
00:02:02certainly cried for Mina
00:02:05and shed tears of blood due to the severity of this
00:02:09tragedy, and it is a good touchstone
00:02:12to see who was moved by Mina.
00:02:16And Dr., don't worry. Those who
00:02:20sell their professional conscience for money
00:02:23will surely be judged by history. The Deputy for Legal
00:02:27and International Affairs of the
00:02:30Minister of Foreign Affairs, by attending Shajareh
00:02:33Tayebeh Elementary School in Mina, visited the site of the
00:02:37biggest crime in history against children. Mr. Gharibabadi
00:02:41announced the completion of documentation for this American-Zionist
00:02:45crime and its serious follow-up through
00:02:48international bodies.
00:02:50His burned face and hands
00:02:54tell the story of the greatest crime in history against
00:02:57children.
00:03:00But Mohammad wants to be a police officer. Well,
00:03:04being a police officer is a good job because
00:03:07they are guardians of security. The Deputy for Legal
00:03:10and International Affairs of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
00:03:13after meeting with Mohammad, went to the scene of the American
00:03:16crime. Kazem Gharibabadi, of course, spoke
00:03:20about the follow-up to punish the criminal Americans
00:03:24in the missile attack on Shajareh Tayebeh Elementary School in Mina.
00:03:27Based on the documents and extensive investigations
00:03:31carried out by the general prosecutor's office of the province,
00:03:34we have also formed a good team
00:03:37of lawyers and attorneys for international
00:03:41follow-ups. A content committee consisting of
00:03:44sub-agencies has also been formed.
00:03:47We have obtained all the documents from the judiciary
00:03:51and are currently preparing
00:03:54cases that can be pursued in foreign courts.
00:03:58The list of countries has also been determined,
00:04:01and soon, God willing, we will file several cases in various
00:04:05countries to pursue this crime.
00:04:09The families of the martyred students also spoke about
00:04:13their demands. I ask
00:04:16the diplomatic apparatus
00:04:18to avenge the blood of our martyred
00:04:21leader and these innocent children
00:04:25from our usurping enemy.
00:04:28The judicial system has also completed
00:04:31the American-Zionist crime file.
00:04:35The collection and evaluation of evidence
00:04:39according to international standards and our domestic
00:04:42criminal procedure code has been done.
00:04:45The file, which is more than 12 volumes and
00:04:482600 pages, has been sent to the
00:04:52center. Kazem Gharibabadi, during his trip to Mina, also
00:04:55visited the family of the martyred Makan Nasiri.
00:04:58Makan.
00:05:17He will visit the families of other martyrs of the American attack on the south of our country in Bandar Koukhstak. Hossein

00:05:24The secretary of the
00:05:2743rd Tehran International Short Film
00:05:30Festival, in a press conference about this event, announced
00:05:34the special attention of Iranian and foreign filmmakers to the
00:05:38topic of Mina. According to Behrouz Shoeibi, among
00:05:41the submitted works on this topic, five works
00:05:44from Iran and six international works were evaluated.
00:05:48According to the festival secretary, 74%
00:05:51of this year's works are allocated to cities
00:05:54and 26% to Tehran.
00:05:58This year's festival slogan, "Iranian Thought,
00:06:01Global Narrative," has been chosen. In fact, the point
00:06:04of the festival
00:06:06that is very noteworthy is that filmmakers
00:06:10are very much children of their time. Film and social
00:06:14issues are very closely linked.
00:06:17For this reason, we have a section
00:06:21that has been added compared to previous years,
00:06:24called "My Homeland, My Narrative," in which films
00:06:27about war, especially the Ramadan
00:06:31War, are screened and judged,
00:06:34and we have allocated a prize for it.
00:06:37For Helma.
00:06:40It took her away from her family, school,
00:07:22and friends, and everything else
00:07:26became a memory.
00:07:27Come, I don't know, calm my heart.
00:07:34Just come and give me a sign. Let me see her in a dream.
00:07:37And her memories came. In the documentary for Helma,
00:07:41things were said about the daily lives of those who loved her
00:07:44and those she loved. "Dad, you knew
00:07:48I was your love. You are as valuable as gold.
00:07:52I love you very, very much. You were very, very kind
00:07:55to me. I made every effort to be able
00:07:58to portray a corner of America's
00:08:02crimes. The crime that happened in Lamerd
00:08:06was truly a crime
00:08:09of mass murder. Words that bring
00:08:13tears to the eyes and flow even
00:08:16for people who didn't know her before this.
00:08:20We need to make our artistic
00:08:23and media work more diverse so that
00:08:27this crime can be exposed abroad and in the
00:08:31international arena. Narrating that day is difficult,
00:08:34reviewing it is even harder. He was not hit by shrapnel,
00:08:38I don't know, but he was pale. My colleague and I performed CPR on him.
00:08:47Who are these criminals who inflict these moments on free
00:08:51people? None of us thought
00:08:54that Helma, a 10-year-old
00:08:57student, would learn that
00:09:01lesson from that book so soon.
00:09:04Helma's story is like the story of the children of Mina,
00:09:08like these letters whose destination is heaven,
00:09:11it becomes more tellable in the language of these children.
00:09:42He did not recognize their lofty dreams. Samira Jalilian,

00:09:50The deadline for participating in the fourth round of the National
00:09:54Youth Population Award has been extended. According to the secretariat
00:09:58of the National Population Headquarters, due to the high demand from applicants,
00:10:01the registration deadline for participating in this event has been extended until

00:10:38We are still with you
00:10:40from the News
00:10:44Channel. Trump signed the memorandum
00:10:46on June 17th
00:11:00because he realized that he really had no choice.
00:11:03It wasn't that he had a strategy to win the war and could resort to it.
00:11:07President Trump, by signing that document, was practically
00:11:11saying that America had lost this war.
00:11:14Although the Israelis did not act on the
00:11:18June 17th agreement, or in other words,
00:11:21the Americans did not act on the first clause of the memorandum,
00:11:25the Iranians nevertheless accepted the memorandum.
00:11:27And if Israel decides
00:11:34to fight Hezbollah at some point in the future after signing
00:11:37the memorandum, no American president
00:11:40will be able to do much to stop the Israelis
00:11:43from starting that
00:11:44conflict.
00:11:52In your view, what is the most likely scenario?
00:12:30I would like to greet you, dear viewers and
00:12:34companions of the news channel. I invite
00:12:37you to join us on the front page.
00:12:41In this program, on the front page, we will take a look at the missions
00:12:44of the Special Commission for the Support of Production in the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
00:12:48Mr. Mohsen Zanganeh, the head of this commission, whose full title
00:12:51should be the Special Commission for the Support of Production and Oversight of the Implementation
00:12:54of the Policy of the Constitution, is with us.
00:12:58Mr. Zanganeh, hello, welcome. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:13:01I greet you and all the great
00:13:05people of Iran. We are at your service.
00:13:08What's new from the commission?
00:13:11Thank God, like all other commissions, it is constantly
00:13:15busy. This commission also holds
00:13:17regular meetings, like other commissions that have meetings.
00:13:21Or is it thematic and ad hoc? Yes, let me explain.
00:13:25We have about 13 specialized
00:13:28commissions in the parliament that
00:13:32are formed right after the presidium
00:13:36is determined at the beginning of the term.
00:13:38Members are divided into these
00:13:4113 commissions based on their experience, information,
00:13:45interests, and education. There is a commission
00:13:48that has existed for about four previous
00:13:51parliamentary terms, due to the slogans
00:13:54of the Supreme Leader, our martyr,
00:13:57in the field of supporting production.
00:14:01This commission, titled "Special Commission,"
00:14:05must be voted on in the plenary session, and its members
00:14:08are also elected in the parliament
00:14:11by the vote of 290 people.
00:14:15For this reason, the members who are currently in the
00:14:17commission are sometimes even the heads
00:14:21of other commissions who are members of our commission,
00:14:25or they are vice-presidents of various commissions,
00:14:28but they are necessarily members of another specialized
00:14:32commission. But are they also in the special commission? Yes,
00:14:35but for example, the
00:14:38rules of procedure commission also has a different way of being
00:14:41elected. Yes, but the people who are on the rules of procedure commission
00:14:45are also on another specialized commission.
00:14:48And furthermore, other aspects
00:14:51do not differ at all. This means that
00:14:55we also have at least two official
00:14:58meetings every week for two hours.
00:15:01In addition to that, we have oversight meetings.
00:15:05Committee meetings. We have about
00:15:08four or five committees, and the committees have their
00:15:11programs. The rest is no different
00:15:14from the main commission. For example, in the
00:15:18annual budget or in the seventh
00:15:21program, decrees are referred
00:15:25to the commissions. The special production
00:15:28commission is also referred, and it doesn't
00:15:31really make a difference. And the commission itself,
00:15:35like other commissions,
00:15:50Many of the laws that have been passed
00:15:54in this commission over the past four
00:15:57terms as the main commission
00:16:00were in the area of supporting production
00:16:03and removing obstacles to production. For example, the law
00:16:07to improve the business environment, which is a very good law
00:16:10in the field of supporting production, the law
00:16:14to remove obstacles to competitive production was in this commission.
00:16:17The law to facilitate the issuance of business
00:16:21licenses, which in the eleventh parliament was one of the things
00:16:24I remember the Speaker of Parliament
00:16:27saying at the time that when they met
00:16:31with Imam Shahid, they praised him greatly
00:16:34and said that the parliament should stand by these laws
00:16:38and act in favor of production. And the law on financing
00:16:41production and infrastructure, which is truly
00:16:44one of the most effective laws in the field of
00:16:48financing production and also financing
00:16:51government infrastructure, and the law of Article 44
00:16:55itself, that's why the commission is called the "Commission for Monitoring
00:16:58Article 44," because Article 44
00:17:02of the Constitution describes the methods
00:17:05of economic management of the country, dividing it into
00:17:09three sectors: it says one sector is governmental,
00:17:13one sector is cooperative, and one sector is private,
00:17:16meaning sections B and C, each referring to a sector.
00:17:19The Supreme Leader of the Revolution in the 1980s
00:17:23issued a directive interpreting
00:17:27this same Article 44, which became known as the policies of Article 44
00:17:30of the Constitution. At that time,
00:17:34because he was one of those who, from the very beginning
00:17:37of the revolution, alongside Martyr Beheshti, Martyr
00:17:40Motahari, and the late Hashemi Rafsanjani,
00:17:44fundamentally believed that the economy
00:17:47would only prosper and be successful in the country
00:17:51if we entrusted it to the people,
00:17:54in the true sense of the word. In the true sense of the word,
00:17:57the government should cease being a business
00:18:01owner and operator. The government should perform
00:18:04its governing role, its regulatory role.
00:18:11In the 1980s, because they sensed this danger
00:18:15that unfortunately state-owned companies had been formed,
00:18:18meaning that practically the economy, in a sense,
00:18:22in all economic sectors, was
00:18:25in a way in the hands of the government, he issued the policies.
00:18:28Following these policy directives at that
00:18:32time, the law on the implementation of Article 44
00:18:35policies was passed in the then parliament,
00:18:39which has provisions such as the discussion
00:18:43on how to transfer state-owned companies,
00:18:46how to price, then the Competition Council
00:18:50comes into this law, the discussion of justice shares
00:18:53comes into this law. It is a very comprehensive law that unfortunately,
00:18:57even today, the most important problem
00:18:59of the country is this inability of the government to exit
00:19:03from business ownership and economic affairs.
00:19:06When we say "government" in a general sense, it also includes
00:19:10public non-governmental organizations. Therefore, this
00:19:14commission's duty is to support production
00:19:17and national producers, to support the private
00:19:21and cooperative sectors, and it seeks to oversee
00:19:24these laws that I mentioned. It follows up
00:19:27and sometimes amends them if they need amendment.
00:19:30And another duty that this commission has been
00:19:34specifically entrusted with is to remove
00:19:38obstacles to production in the field.
00:19:41For example, sometimes a problem arises.
00:19:45For instance, now the units that have been damaged
00:19:48in this past year's war, the 40-day war,
00:19:52and the 12-day war. Well, the type of support for these
00:19:56should be different. Here, the commission got involved
00:19:59and presented an oversight report. Now we are
00:20:03in the process of preparing
00:20:07a draft law to support
00:20:11production in emergency and wartime conditions.
00:20:15With the explanations you provided, what is the most important
00:20:18issue, the most important priority on the commission's agenda?
00:20:22Look, we currently have several issues on the agenda.
00:20:25One issue, under the same Article 44 law,
00:20:29is the issue of justice shares. Well, as you know,
00:20:32justice shares affect almost
00:20:3550 million people across the country.
00:20:39Unfortunately, over the years,
00:20:42there have been ambiguities
00:20:46and various issues
00:20:49related to this. In justice shares,
00:20:5249 million and approximately
00:20:56200 thousand people became eligible.
00:20:59The companies that are referred to as
00:21:03justice shares are 49 investment
00:21:06companies whose value is about 2600 billion tomans,
00:21:10meaning a very high figure.
00:21:14And we have various issues in this discussion of justice
00:21:17shares. It was dissolved.
00:21:26The issue of deceased persons whose justice shares
00:21:29are undecided, sometimes not given
00:21:32to heirs. Those who are waiting
00:21:36and repeatedly ask us what we, the left-behinds, should do.
00:21:40We have had numerous meetings with the government.
00:21:43Finally, we reached the conclusion that the law needs
00:21:47to be amended to match the current
00:21:50conditions so that we can solve these existing
00:21:54problems. Therefore, this is an issue
00:21:57that is currently on our agenda. What progress have you made
00:22:00on your follow-ups? The most important one is the left-behinds, which has been brought up
00:22:04for several years, and there is still no new news about it.
00:22:07Yes, God willing, with this amendment we are making,
00:22:10we can currently give
00:22:13good news to the dear people that, as you know,
00:22:16justice shares were for the six lower
00:22:20deciles of society. Unfortunately, at the time
00:22:23these justice shares were distributed, for example, they would say
00:22:27to give shares to all faculty members or
00:22:31to all employees of a certain organization. This caused
00:22:34many of those in the first to sixth deciles
00:22:38to be left out at that time. Meaning justice shares were distributed,
00:22:42but a portion of them were given to those who were not
00:22:45among the six lower deciles. Of course, nothing can be done now.
00:22:49We are moving in this direction with the amendment of the law
00:22:53that the government (that is, the text that is currently
00:22:56prepared) will, every year, because the law also
00:23:00stipulates that for any amount of government shares it transfers,
00:23:0440% of this must be allocated to justice
00:23:08shares. And we can, with this 400
00:23:12(billion tomans), give these shares to those who are left
00:23:15behind, are among the six lower deciles, and have not received justice
00:23:19shares. God willing, we can gradually give them these
00:23:23justice shares, so that this line, God willing,
00:23:26meaning those Article 44 policies, is connected to justice shares.
00:23:29If that is fully and correctly implemented, justice shares,
00:23:32yes, will be allocated to all the people. You made a very correct point.
00:23:36Look, in the field of privatization, meaning
00:23:39the transfer of state-owned companies, in total,
00:23:42let me give you some statistics. In total,
00:23:46we have transferred and sold
00:23:49659 companies over the years.
00:23:52But the unfortunate
00:23:54point is
00:23:56that out of this amount, about 9%
00:24:00has gone to the real private sector.
00:24:03We have given 40% to quasi-governmental
00:24:07entities, to public non-governmental organizations.
00:24:1045% the government has given
00:24:14in exchange for debts it had to social
00:24:17security, to banks, to other places,
00:24:21in return for settling its own debts.
00:24:24Now we need to amend the privatization
00:24:27law, which effectively means
00:24:31the transfer of government shares, to accelerate
00:24:34this. Even if we put aside the monetization of assets,
00:24:38effectively, accelerating the government's resolve
00:24:42to transfer state-owned
00:24:45shares will mean that we will eventually fill
00:24:49this capacity of justice shares,
00:24:52and then we can allocate 40% of it
00:24:56to the dear ones in the first to sixth deciles
00:24:58who have justice shares. What obstacles are currently
00:25:02preventing this from happening? Look, the obstacles that exist
00:25:06are, as I mentioned, in the law itself, Articles
00:25:0934 to 38 of the Article 44 law
00:25:12regarding justice shares. There are some ambiguities
00:25:15and a difference in perspective between
00:25:19the government
00:25:29You see, after the law was written, the then government,
00:25:33during Mr. Rouhani's administration, I think,
00:25:37in the eleventh and twelfth terms, because initially,
00:25:40when justice shares were given, they said that for
00:25:4310 years,
00:25:46the profit from these justice shares would be used to pay
00:25:50for the installments of the justice shares. Therefore, people had no involvement.
00:25:54After 10 years, when the installments are over, these shares belong
00:25:58to the people. Here, some correspondence was made
00:26:02with the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, saying that some people would like
00:26:05these shares to be given directly to them, because the law
00:26:09states that these shares are formed in cooperative
00:26:12companies in cities, and it's
00:26:15as if by owning justice shares, you effectively
00:26:19become a shareholder in those cooperative companies
00:26:23and provincial companies. It's a very complex process.
00:26:26There, the Leader granted this permission based on the justifications
00:26:30provided, saying: "Then
00:26:34choose whether they want to be direct shareholders or remain
00:26:37in the same structure." At that time, out of the 49 million
00:26:41people I mentioned, about 18 to 19 million
00:26:45chose the direct method, saying: "We want direct
00:26:48ownership and management." 30 million are still
00:26:51indirect shareholders, meaning they accepted
00:26:55that through cooperative companies. Now, out of
00:26:58those 20 million, out of those 19 million
00:27:02who chose the direct method, some of them, after a while,
00:27:05went and sold their shares in the stock market to others.
00:27:09Some also have indirect shares, meaning a situation
00:27:12has arisen where, on the one hand,
00:27:15in the cooperative companies that should have held
00:27:19general assemblies, some of them didn't.
00:27:22Yes, their assemblies didn't happen, and some problems arose
00:27:26in the provinces. We had problems.
00:27:30Now I want to quickly say that there is a difference
00:27:32between the government's view and the parliament's view.
00:27:36That is, there are two different perspectives. The government
00:27:40believes that we should free these shares and give them
00:27:44to the people so they can do whatever they want.
00:27:47The parliament's view is that the legislator's
00:27:51goal was for a continuous
00:27:54and sustainable wealth to be available to low-income
00:27:57families. If they are going to sell their shares tomorrow
00:28:01for 40 or 50 million tomans, then practically
00:28:05the goals of justice shares
00:28:08will not be achieved. Finally, after
00:28:11numerous meetings, I would say almost 10
00:28:15to 12 meetings, even the First Deputy Speaker of the Parliament
00:28:19at the time, the Article 90 Commission, the Social Commission,
00:28:22the Economy Commission, and the Production Support Commission,
00:28:26finally reached an agreement with the government
00:28:29that we would come and amend the law
00:28:32of Article 44 under the title of this
00:28:36law reform. Now I don't want to go into details,
00:28:39but the clause that we have almost agreed upon
00:28:43is that the beginning of Article 34 states that the government
00:28:46is obligated to allocate up to 40%
00:28:50of the shares transferred each year (up to that time
00:28:53it was this much) to justice shares.
00:28:57If we can, God willing, pursue this so that it remains
00:29:00in place for years and we can also include
00:29:03its amount in the annual budget,
00:29:07meaning now in the budget we say that the government must sell
00:29:11200 billion tomans worth of businesses this year.
00:29:14Well, 40% of this is clear. We can include it there,
00:29:17and God willing, this request
00:29:20from those who are left behind will be addressed. We are trying
00:29:24to complete the amendments to the law, God willing,
00:29:27by the end of the year. It is one of the commission's
00:29:30priorities. There is initial hope for those left behind until the end of the year.
00:29:34God willing. God willing,
00:29:37they will be shareholders from next year. Yes, no, we are obliged,
00:29:41God willing, that this will happen. All those left behind will become
00:29:44shareholders within a specific timeframe,
00:29:48or will a plan be made to differentiate them based on what
00:29:51has been approved in the committee so far? I am saying this
00:29:55still needs to be approved in the plenary session.
00:29:58We approved this in the committee that those left behind
00:30:02will be prioritized based on deciles.
00:30:05Gradually, as we acquire justice shares, meaning
00:30:08that 40% will go into justice shares, we will
00:30:12gradually give these to those left behind.
00:30:16This is what has been approved in the specialized committee
00:30:19that is currently reviewing the matter. Now, God willing,
00:30:23it must go to the plenary session to see what resolution
00:30:27we finally reach. But I, on behalf of the Production Support
00:30:30Commission, which is responsible for justice shares,
00:30:33tell you that we are seriously pursuing
00:30:37the issue of those left behind and also pursuing
00:30:40the heirs of justice shareholders who have
00:30:44not received their profits and are in limbo.
00:30:47God willing, we will certainly follow these up
00:30:51and, on behalf of the people, bring them to fruition.
00:30:54The issue of government business ownership, which you mentioned
00:30:57in the previous section, is also in line with your explanation.
