Iran Parliament rejects Rouhani explanation of economic difficulties
The Iranian Parliament has rejected explanations provided by President Hassan Rouhani about the causes of the country’s current economic hardship.
Rouhani answered five questions asked by lawmakers related to sanctions on the banking sector, unemployment, economic recession, the declining exchange rate of the Iranian currency and goods smuggling.
In his response, he said the current economic problems emerged with the reinstatement of US sanctions on Iran, warning that “painting a bleak picture of people’s lives will lead to further darkness”.
After Rouhani’s answers, the lawmakers voted that they were not convinced by the president’s answers to four out of the five questions.
State television reported that the parliament has referred the issues to the judiciary which will investigate them.
I can’t see how Rouhani’s resignation/ouster/dirt nap is so beautiful according to Q. Another stooge will replace him. Is Q getting a little over excited here?
