00:00:27Hello, 6 PM successor.
00:00:50In accordance with that, after every
00:00:53two wars, we were busy
00:00:57producing new weapons. We were not caught off guard
00:01:00in the navy. We definitely thought of new equipment,
00:01:04part of which we produced and it is ready to use.
00:01:07The result of these weapons
00:01:10and equipment is that the enemy is scared and today
00:01:14has no presence neither in the Strait of Hormuz
00:01:18nor for miles around the Strait of Hormuz. If they want
00:01:21to act on their threats or repeat
00:01:25a new miscalculation, the navy will certainly
00:01:28respond to them with greater force in such a way that,
00:01:32God willing, they will again be much further away
00:01:35from our borders. The head of the FARAJA
00:01:39Awareness Police spoke about launching
00:01:42a 360-degree camera for crime scene photography,
00:01:46saying: This photography greatly
00:01:49helps detectives in uncovering the truth.
00:01:52Their job is to uncover crime, even in situations where
00:01:56there are often no clues. Detectives, officers who go and...
00:02:07They don't mess around with those who disturb people's honor. They go and
00:02:10bring them in handcuffed. The arrest of a four-person gang
00:02:14of violent female robbers who were stealing with a car
00:02:18with a fake license plate in three
00:02:21provinces. They show no mercy to kidnappers who demanded
00:02:25one thousand billion tomans from a family. In a joint
00:02:28operation, two of them were arrested in the western provinces
00:02:32of the country in Baneh. Two were arrested in Golestan province. The gang
00:02:36of house burglars in Kurdistan and Semnan
00:02:39are being caught. How many thefts did they commit? How many houses? Around
00:02:4312 cases in Sanandaj were confessed. I had 90 house thefts.
00:02:46One and a half kilograms of stolen gold will be returned
00:02:50to its owner after the arrest of the thieves. All three members
00:02:54of this gang, the arrested ones, all
00:02:57stolen information was also returned to its owner. Detectives
00:03:00get more information from the crime scene. The scene must not be touched,
00:03:04it must remain untouched so that the evidence at the scene remains.
00:03:08Now, some detectives from around the country gathered around a table and
00:03:12are present at a ceremony where part of their round-the-clock efforts
00:03:16are being discussed by the commander. There was hostage-taking, murder,
00:03:19and also an increase in discoveries. Now we have almost
00:03:2216 discoveries and our discoveries have
00:03:26increased. A
00:03:39people regarding valuable assets, they should deposit
00:03:42them in safe deposit boxes. They will surely
00:03:46feel more peace and security. Mohammad Reza Fallahi, IRIB News Agency.
00:03:50And Sima
00:03:52This is the final section of the scientific part of the
00:03:5527th International Storytelling Festival at the Center
00:03:59for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults.
00:04:02It was held. Once upon a time,
00:04:06under the dome that
00:04:08was there, a storyteller
00:04:12was sitting in front of the children.
00:04:15These stories keep real narratives alive in children's
00:04:18minds and train them
00:04:22for the future. Makan means something that existed
00:04:25before but is no longer.
00:04:29But its scar is there. But the burnt liver
00:04:32of its mother is there. The play was about the innocent children of Minab,
00:04:36and the event that happened.
00:04:38This play made its way to Tehran
00:04:41city.
00:04:44The Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults
00:04:47has approached storytelling scientifically. At the International
00:04:51Storytelling Festival, we aim to
00:04:55use this scientific section
00:04:57as a prerequisite for storytelling. And ultimately,
00:05:01the researcher, alongside the instructor,
00:05:04should add value for the audience,
00:05:07whether children or young adults.
00:05:11In this festival,
00:05:18we will discuss the topic of storytelling and its educational effects. Researchers
00:05:21from all over the country will participate. This year,
00:05:2590 works in four sections were submitted, which were reviewed
00:05:29by the jury, and the scientific achievements
00:05:32of the festival will determine the strategy for future festivals.
00:05:36Stories have a very high capacity to stimulate children to think
00:05:40and develop their thoughts, and they have a very high potential
00:05:43in this field, especially Iranian stories that are in harmony
00:05:46with the culture of our country. With the expansion
00:05:49of media, children face a large amount of information.
00:05:53The ability to grow in critical thinking
00:05:56and to be able to analyze stories
00:06:00and make correct judgments is what I have examined
00:06:04from this perspective.
00:06:05Stories
00:06:08also had another program to expand studies
00:06:12and strengthen research in the field of storytelling.
00:06:15Selections of the scientific section's essays
00:06:18were published in the book "Storyteller 5".

00:06:27The head of the Trade Development Organization announced
00:06:31that the use of national currencies in trade
00:06:34between Iran and Russia has removed most
00:06:37of the financial transfer problems between the two countries.
00:06:39is. Our friends
00:06:43at the Central Bank have done a good job in this area, especially regarding
00:06:46Russia. You must have seen the news.
00:06:50The connection with national currencies has been established,
00:06:53and the possibility of financial transfers has been established.
00:06:56Compared to other countries, the situation there is good now, and the possibility
00:07:00of
00:07:02financial and currency transfers
00:07:05exists. We basically have no concerns in this regard,
00:07:09as in economic relations with the Eurasian Union, one month.
00:07:17And the group of health ambassadors of the Air Force
00:07:21of the Army, for the first time, in coordination with the Imam Khomeini
00:07:24Relief Committee, by being present at the Qarhak Charity
00:07:28Clinic, provided free medical services
00:07:31to more than 400 beneficiaries.
00:07:33did.
00:07:36In the base of the free medical jihad camp, this time with the presence
00:07:39of the medical staff of the Army Air Force.
00:07:42In Qarhak, specifically for the beneficiaries
00:07:45of the Relief Committee, in order to honor
00:07:48and support the families under the coverage of the Imam
00:07:52Khomeini Relief Committee of Qarhak city,
00:07:55we succeeded for the first time with the participation of the medical
00:07:59team of the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:08:02to provide medical services
00:08:05to 11 people on this day. These
00:08:09medical and free medicine services were provided with the presence
00:08:12of 10 specialist doctors from the Air Force of the Army and 50 medical
00:08:16staff. As a cardiologist,
00:08:20our goal was to examine the diabetic patients who come to us
00:08:23here and those who are over 50 years old
00:08:27to see if they are prone to heart attack or not.
00:08:30We examined and echocardiographed
00:08:33these two groups of people.
00:08:36Approximately 25% of the individuals
00:08:39were prone to heart attack. According to our method
00:08:43and the situations that arise and the coordination that our officials have
00:08:47with the regional officials who need free visits,
00:08:50we coordinate. Since I am very motivated for jihadist work
00:08:54and the army has always been a pioneer in this matter,
00:08:57and the army has been sacrificed for the nation,
00:09:01I have always wanted to do my activities in this field.
00:09:05In line with the slogan "Army for the Nation," I,
00:09:08along with my colleagues,
00:09:11specialists, nurses, and paramedics, from 8 AM, according to the coordination
00:09:14made with the Imam Khomeini Relief
00:09:18Committee located in Qarhak city,
00:09:21my colleagues provided 500 patients with nearly
00:09:253,000 medical services. Examined individuals can refer
00:09:28to the Air Force Hospital
00:09:32for continued free medical services.
00:09:35The next phase of providing free
00:09:39medical services by the Air Force in this city
00:09:42will be offered in Bahman (February) to mark Air Force Day.
00:09:45Tajik Nouri, IRIB News Agency.
00:09:49Sima. In Qarhak.
00:09:53Thank you for your company.
00:10:51In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I greet you, dear viewers of the channel.
00:10:56I hope you are well. We are presenting "Asr-e Eqtesad" (Evening Economy) to you. I invite
00:10:59you to stay with Khabar Channel and "Asr-e Eqtesad" at these moments.
00:11:03In these days, one of the issues that has occupied the minds of many people
00:11:07is the issue of text messages that some
00:11:10people have received about increasing the amount of commodity coupons by 500,000
00:11:14Tomans, which was supposed to be increased for a group. The story is that
00:11:18for 18 million and 300 thousand household heads
00:11:21in the country, equivalent to 40 million people,
00:11:25a text message was issued stating that if you need or wish to
00:11:28receive a larger amount for commodity coupons, you must confirm your information
00:11:32on the website gov.ir
00:11:35and continue this process. Now, what is this story about?
00:11:38Who are the beneficiaries? Will it continue or not? And if
00:11:41we don't receive it, what will happen? This is a topic that we want to discuss
00:11:45in today's program with Mr. Malakouti, the head of the National
00:11:48Monitoring Center, advisor to the Budget and Planning Organization
00:11:52on deprivation issues. Mr. Malakouti, welcome. I do.
00:11:55In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I greet you
00:11:58and thank you for the opportunity
00:12:02that was provided to explain this government action
00:12:05regarding the government's recent action on commodity coupons.
00:12:08Thank you very much. Before we directly get into the topic of commodity coupons, let me explain
00:12:12that the set of support packages that the government is providing
00:12:16in various fields has been ongoing for years in the form of subsidy
00:12:19targeting discussions and commodity coupon discussions, etc.
00:12:23In some areas, such as wheat procurement, we need to get involved. We will discuss it in later programs.
00:12:27We just have it here that in the area of commodity coupons,
00:12:30there are two issues in the area of government support
00:12:34that are currently on the government's agenda. The issue that we will discuss
00:12:38today with Mr. Malakouti is the notification to 18 million
00:12:42and 300 thousand households regarding the increase in their commodity coupon amount.
00:12:45And the issue that we will discuss in future programs
00:12:49is the credit model for purchasing goods based
00:12:53on subsidy amounts, which
00:12:55we will explain in future programs. But Mr. Malakouti, please explain
00:12:59the process that has begun and what these text messages
00:13:02are about, who they include, and what those who are included should do now.
00:13:06Please tell us. Well, as our dear compatriots know,
00:13:09approximately two days ago, a text message was sent
00:13:13to the recipients stating that
00:13:17to receive the new phase of commodity coupons,
00:13:20you must complete the self-declaration form
00:13:23that has been sent to you and to which you have access
00:13:27on the "My Government" system. Well, these individuals and this
00:13:31target group of 40 million people who were selected in this phase
00:13:34were chosen based on information from the statistical
00:13:38information of the Ministry of Welfare regarding the
00:13:41supportive strata of society. This was the basis for
00:13:45the government in the first stage to have these strata, up
00:13:48to 40 million people, self-declare on the
00:13:51"My Government" portal. Some simple questions
00:13:55are asked there, such as information
00:13:58about their location and housing, information
00:14:01about their occupation, their assets such as cars and salaries,
00:14:05and a yes/no question. As soon as this form
00:14:08is registered in the system, these people become eligible
00:14:12to receive that subsidy or, in other words,
00:14:15the commodity coupon amount. In this case,
00:14:19the increase is 500,000 Tomans. The increase is 500,000 Tomans
00:14:22in this stage. So, now those who have received the text message
00:14:26should refer to the "My Government" system and provide information, such as the information
00:14:30you just mentioned again, in that self-declaration. In the self-declaration, 6 specific questions
00:14:33are asked: Where is your residential address?
00:14:37What is your occupation? Are you covered by
00:14:41a support institution? What is the status of your
00:14:44car? What is your income? Do you have any special
00:14:48problems or illnesses in this regard?
00:14:51And with your self-declaration that you allow,
00:15:03this feature in this stage helps the government to identify
00:15:06more accurately those in need
00:15:10and to provide assistance and support. And
00:15:14in sending the text message, a 48-hour period was also mentioned.
00:15:18Well, in the initial hours, the system experienced a malfunction,
00:15:22problems arose, and a group of people became concerned
00:15:26about what would happen, whether this time would be extended or not.
00:15:29A quick explanation: this time will definitely be extended because the assumption was
00:15:33and the friends at the Information Technology Organization
00:15:36stated that those 40 million
00:15:40mostly referred to the portal, while here the household head
00:15:43had to take direct action. And well, the heavy load
00:15:46that was imposed on the portal could not cope,
00:15:50and we witnessed a shutdown. For this, we apologize to our dear
00:15:54people, and the assumption is that since this happened, this deadline
00:15:58will definitely be extended. Is it clear now how much it will be extended, or
00:16:01has it not been announced yet? No, we will wait until the end of Tuesday, which was the deadline that
00:16:05was previously announced. We will see what percentage of
00:16:09the 40 million target group needs to register. After
00:16:12that, because for those who register their information,
00:16:16the system needs to be cut off for their payment to be processed.
00:16:20And in the second phase, an announcement will be made,
00:16:23and the rest of the people who were not successful in the first phase
00:16:27will register in the new phase. After that first phase,
00:16:30the announcement will be made. So, as you said, if someone could not
00:16:34confirm their information in this period
00:16:37and the amount of their commodity coupon was not increased
00:16:40in this phase, they may still be able to complete
00:16:44their information in the next phase, when registrations or announcements are made.
00:16:48And let me clarify this: only those whose information
00:16:52must be registered in the system can do so. That is,
00:16:55when they answer and complete the six questions, the system
00:16:59itself will inform the person that their information has been successfully registered.
00:17:03These individuals will then receive payment. Very good. And if
00:17:06someone, for whatever reason, does not have access to the systems, what should they
00:17:10do? Several solutions have been foreseen.
00:17:14One is that they can go through the "Pishkhan" (front office) portal.
00:17:17Individuals who, for whatever reason, either don't have
00:17:20a mobile phone or in some way,
00:17:24our assumption is that if they are beneficiaries of, for example, the Relief Committee
00:17:28and Welfare Organization, they will be guided by their social workers.
00:17:31And also, this deadline will be extended again, so if for any reason
00:17:35they couldn't do it this way, they can sign up.
00:17:42We explained that what has been texted and sent to
00:17:46its target audience is about the deadline of
00:17:49Tuesday, May 21st. Did I say it correctly?
00:17:53May 21st. You have until the end of May 21st
00:17:56to refer to the "My Government" website. Household heads
00:18:00must also refer and confirm their information.
00:18:04Those whose information is confirmed will proceed to have their information reviewed
00:18:08and their commodity coupon amount increased. Those who could not refer
00:18:11during this period should not worry. In
00:18:15later stages, there will again be an opportunity to edit information and register
00:18:19information. Watch a section, and we'll be back with you.
00:18:22In 2010, the Organization for Targeting
00:18:26Subsidies was formed to streamline the subsidy
00:18:29payment system. Throughout these years, direct
00:18:33subsidy payments to households and guaranteed purchase
00:18:36of wheat have been among the most important actions
00:18:40of this organization. The total resources for guaranteed purchase of wheat
00:18:43and its import, and agricultural crop insurance
00:18:47in 2026, was 504 thousand billion
00:18:51Tomans, of which 41,000 has been paid
00:18:55for the purchase of 8.5 million tons of wheat to 800 thousand
00:18:58farmers. Also, nearly
00:19:027,000 has been deposited into the agricultural insurance fund
00:19:05for basic agricultural insurance premiums.
00:19:09The government, by utilizing the capacity
00:19:12of subsidy targeting, has two supportive measures
00:19:16for household livelihood on its agenda. The increase
00:19:20in the electronic commodity coupon amount, the provision
00:19:23of its additional resources is the responsibility of the Organization
00:19:27for Targeting Subsidies, and its implementation
00:19:30is the responsibility of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare.
00:19:34In the first step, a text message was sent
00:19:45to 18 household heads. Goods are available with the credit of cash subsidies.
00:19:48In this plan, households eligible
00:19:51for cash subsidies can use up to twice
00:19:55their monthly cash subsidy for their needed goods
00:19:59all at once. In this method,
00:20:02cash subsidies will be used as a guarantee
00:20:06for household credit purchases.
00:20:08it takes.
00:20:13Thank you for joining "Asr-e Eqtesad". In today's program, we will explain
00:20:17part of the government's supportive policies related to commodity coupons and
00:20:20the increase in the commodity coupon amount. We will explain the continuation
00:20:24of it in future programs, God willing, if we have life and success.
00:20:28We were talking with Mr. Malakouti regarding the text messages
00:20:32that have come for the commodity coupon issue. Very well. Mr. Malakouti,
00:20:35now this method and this...
00:20:41The government allocated and paid this 1 million toman
00:20:44to everyone. Why did we change the method now? Well,
00:20:48this is a very important point. This method has a special difference,
00:20:51and perhaps, in the words of the Honorable President,
00:20:55because it was assumed from the beginning of the year
00:20:58that this work would be done, because the expert discussions
00:21:02between agencies to find the most optimal method took time,
00:21:06and the consensus that was finally reached among the agencies was
00:21:09what to do so that if the government pays generally,
00:21:12it certainly will not be able to achieve maximum satisfaction
00:21:16in terms of resource provision and support that is provided equally.
00:21:20And it was necessary at this stage for the government to reach
00:21:24those specific strata that particularly need
00:21:27support, especially in difficult economic conditions,
00:21:31and to support them as a first priority.
00:21:34Now, many of the government's policies are general,
00:21:38for example, subsidies for bread and part of fuel
00:21:41and medicine are general. There are some segments
00:21:45of society that, for various reasons,
00:21:48have specific expenses in their lives
00:21:51that, even in these economic conditions, impose more difficulties
00:21:54on them than the average person. And special support
00:21:57is needed. These segments need to be identified. Well,
00:22:01to identify these segments, according to the directive
00:22:05of the Honorable President, that this inquiry should be made
00:22:08from specialized and expert agencies, this initial
00:22:11information was obtained from the Ministry of Welfare.
00:22:14And the Ministry of Welfare estimated a population
00:22:18of approximately 40 to 44 million people as the initial
00:22:21estimate who would be supported in this target group
00:22:25in various ways. In the second step,
00:22:28these individuals, in order to make the information more precise
00:22:32and for the government to reach that specific stratum
00:22:36that has priority to receive support more quickly,
00:22:39and for the support to be more specific, they introduced self-declaration.
00:22:43With this self-declaration, the government can more quickly
00:22:47verify the information based on the individuals'
00:22:50own statements. And in the third step,
00:22:54in the information database where we assume
00:22:57all economic information
00:23:00and supportive information
00:23:02is centralized, this cross-referencing should be done.
00:23:06This is where it happens, so that for these individuals,
00:23:09for example, regarding assets, income, expenses,
00:23:13and debt, what is their economic
00:23:16situation? Of course, in this stage, until the information is registered
00:23:19in the second step, payment is made. But going forward
00:23:23and in later stages, if this information is verified,
00:23:26for example, if it is determined that the assets
00:23:30they declared do not match their self-declaration,
00:23:33they will be informed to correct their
00:23:36information. For example, an individual might
00:23:40claim they don't have a car, but the existing information
00:23:44in the current databases of the country shows that a certain car is registered
00:23:48in their name.
00:24:06You have to refer to the FARAJA database. Yes, for example, for your property information,
00:24:10you have to refer to the National Registry of Deeds and Properties. And similarly,
00:24:13for banking information, the Central Bank, they introduce portals
00:24:17that are for these individuals' references
00:24:20so that they can more easily and smoothly correct
00:24:24their information or evaluate their own information.
00:24:27This method is the second stage, meaning
00:24:31if, that is, the self-declaration stage, then the stage of cross-referencing
00:24:34information with existing systems. After this,
00:24:37if the information is still conflicting and, for example, the systems
00:24:41show something else, what happens then? The first stage was that the Ministry
00:24:44of Welfare gave us the initial information. The second stage was that
00:24:48the individual self-declared. The third
00:24:51stage was that this information was cross-referenced.
00:24:55If the third stage of cross-referencing showed
00:24:58that the individual's financial capability was higher than
00:25:02the level we wanted to support, the individual would be informed
00:25:06that due to this eligibility assessment that was done,
00:25:09and their financial capability being higher than the level that needs support,
00:25:13they must go and correct their information if they insist on support.
00:25:17Otherwise, the individual is free to choose. Right.
00:25:20If it was lower, this individual would still be in the support
00:25:24pathway. But we are currently at this stage, in the second
00:25:28step, meaning after self-declaration, payment
00:25:31will be made for these individuals, whether 40 million or any other number.
00:25:35The government will pay 500,000 Tomans. But going forward,
00:25:38in the next stage, this information verification will take place.
00:25:42And for those who didn't receive this text message, what happens? It's possible that we have individuals
00:25:45in society right now who, for whatever reason, were not covered by any supportive
00:25:49institution. They consider themselves eligible for this assistance.
00:25:53There, too, the government's assumption is that we will get through this first
00:25:56round, for example, half of the population here, so that the system and
00:26:00portals can handle it.
00:26:02It has been decided that it will be announced again later. Again, those
00:26:06individuals who are still volunteering must go through
00:26:10the same process. That is, these individuals will again self-declare.
00:26:13These declarations will be cross-referenced with the existing databases we have,
00:26:17and if it is determined that, in terms of
00:26:21assets, income, expenses, and debt,
00:26:25the sum of these four factors leads to them being below the level
00:26:28we have for support, they will be eligible for support.
00:26:32And if it's higher, well, they will be informed that they are not eligible
00:26:36for support for this reason. But the 1 million Toman commodity
00:26:39coupon is still available for everyone. Will that be cut off too? No, currently,
00:26:43the government's policy is not about the 1 million Toman
00:26:46commodity coupon. It's possible that the government will later
00:26:50decide how to handle the continuation of the commodity coupon.
00:26:53But for now, in this stage, we are only considering
00:26:57an additional 500,000 Tomans beyond the 1 million Tomans.
00:27:00Very good, thank you very much. So, let me summarize briefly,
00:27:04and then we'll be with you. My point is that if
00:27:08you received a text message, you should go to the system
00:27:11and update your information. If your information matches
00:27:15and you are eligible, the process of paying
00:27:19the additional 500,000 Tomans on top of the 1 million Tomans
00:27:22will begin for you. And if you didn't
00:27:26receive a text message and you consider yourself in need
00:27:29of receiving it, even if you are not covered by any supportive institution, is that right? That is, every city
00:27:37the government will announce that they should go there and declare in this system
00:27:41that I have these conditions, and after that,
00:27:45it will be credit assessed and verified. Yes, if I just say one more thing at the end,
00:27:49please. My request to our dear people
00:27:52is that the announced information should be centralized through
00:27:56government communication and finally confirmed by the National
00:27:59Budget and Planning Organization in this regard.
00:28:02Any information from any source, no matter what title
00:28:06it appears under in the networks, is really not confirmable.
00:28:08And my request is that people, to avoid
00:28:12confusion and uncertainty, should consider the government's
00:28:15information and finally the National Budget and Planning Organization
00:28:19as the authoritative source of information in this regard. Very well, thank you very much. And this is one of the points
00:28:23that we should pay attention to, because something opens up a way for phishing
00:28:26text messages that say if you want your commodity coupon to increase, do these things.
00:28:30As Mr. Malakouti mentioned, the government's information
00:28:34and the Budget and Planning Organization will be the source of information in this area. Thank you very much.
00:28:38Mr. Malakoutikhah, Head of the
00:28:41Monitoring Center, Advisor to the Budget and Planning Organization for Deprivation Affairs,
00:28:44thank you very much for the information you gave us. Thank you for joining
00:28:48Asr-e Eqtesad. Thank you. Have a good time. Goodbye.
00:29:01Only.
