MELLATEMA
in a news report quotes Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei as saying unfortunately principlists have put all their eggs in the “electoral basket” and this is the cause of disagreement among principlists and as long as this continues, unity between principlists is in danger. Referring to the propagation of the Iranian school of thought by the deviant current, he said during the past 100 years, the issue of nationalism has been abused by certain people to gain power or reinforce the pillars of their power. Rezaei, a former IRGC commander, added according to Imam Khomeini true nationalists are those Basiji members who liberated Khorramshahr from the Iraqi occupation. He added the true school of thought pursued by Iran is an Islamic school of thought, and if Iran is separated from Islam, it will definitely collapse. Even, he added, Iran cannot defend its territorial integrity if people are separated from Isalm.

TEHRAN-E EMROOZ in a news report quotes Jafar Tashakori-Hashemi, the deputy Tehran mayor for transportation and traffic affairs, as saying on average every two hours 6 people are killed and 90 others are injured in car accidents across the country. Tashakori-Hashemi says just 250 of accidents take place in the metropolis of Tehran. “In our opinion, when a person dies then his family is broken up, and the life of another person is ruined in prison, so with the death of each person, two family units are broken up,” Tashakori-Hashemi added. He added efforts are underway to improve the culture of traffic in the country this year and we hope through development of public transportation we can encourage citizens to better observe traffic regulations
