Rouhani’s Biggest Rival

KAYHAN: The administration of Rouhani needs not worry about its rivals in the upcoming presidential elections. It should instead be worried about the difficult race ahead. Rouhani’s biggest rival is his own performance of the past four years. He has a poor track record in almost everything. The delivery of a couple of passenger airplanes, meetings with European trade delegations, car sales in installments, and imports of goods and services to curb runaway prices at any price will be unable to save his administration on the election night.
Media Warfare

RESALAT: We must take the ongoing media warfare seriously. American and British media outlets like BBC and CNN continue to make false reports on Iran. They keep broadcasting fake news about the "Defenders of Shrine” in order to undermine the efforts of those who travel to Syria to fight foreign-backed terrorism and extremism. We must take this dirty game very seriously and do something about it.
Runaway Prices

DONYAYE EQTESAD: Based on the latest report, one of the biggest factors behind the rising prices of goods and services in the last month was the rising prices of staple foods and drinks. They have had a huge impact on pushing up general market prices. Their prices keep going up and with 13 percent hike in just one month they are the main culprit. This might have something to do with seasonal speculations as well as yearend market expectations. However, if the trend continues, it could impact other prices as well.
Chinese Cars

JAMEJAM: Reports suggest after sales services for Chinese cars are not up to the mark yet. Despite the rising public complaints from the quality of Chinese cars and higher prices, a significant part of the Iranian market is still under the control of Chinese car manufacturers. Despite that, many consumers still prefer to buy Chinese cars. This makes it ever more important for authorities to make some checks and balances on this growing problem, particularly on spare parts and after sales services.
