SHARQ
newspaper in an analysis, written by economic expert Bayazid Mardookhi, says the reform of oil law can be considered a new chapter in the oil industry as this would lead to financial transparency and help the development of the oil industry. The writer says the oil industry is actually in need of a center to set strategies. He says a monitoring of the Oil Ministry by the representatives of the three branches of government must not restrict the independence of oil industry directors so that they would be able to make decisions about oil exploration and oil sale in regard to quick international developments. Mardookhi says since taking decisions in the oil industry by representatives of the three branches of government will not be easy industry directors must be trusted so that we can see more development in the industry.

JAVAN
in a news report quotes former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati as saying that Western countries are concerned about popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. Velayati said NATO military strikes on Libya under the UN resolution is similar to the U.S. invasion of Iraq as in the two cases the U.S. and NATO went beyond the UN resolutions, and these are indications that they are concerned over popular uprisings in the region.

TEHRAN-E EMRUZ in a news report quotes Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani as saying in order to find dominance over the region the U.S. and other arrogant powers brought to power puppet governments like the Al Khalifa and Al Saud regimes. Referring to the recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa, he said the Islamic Revolution in Iran has inspired a wave of pro-democracy uprisings among the regional nations and caused them to rise up against oppression. He added through interferences the U.S and Israel are seeking to prevent the establishment of Islamic governments similar to Iran.
