Rouhani Asks For Release Of Civilian Protestors As Gasoline Price Hike Protests Continue In Iran


After over two weeks of violence clashes over gasoline price hike in Iran, the President Hassan Rouhani has asked for the release of innocent unarmed civilians.
Iran has been reeling under dissatisfaction over bad governance.  On November 15, Iran government increased the prices of gasoline by 300 percent sending waves of fears over almost 100 cities. Most of Iran is a poor country, where people are finding it difficult to make ends meet.  Most youth do not have jobs and there is virtually no self sustained economy.

Civilians have been asking for the clerical leaders to step down. However, the Iranian clerical rules have comfortably pinned the blame of the outburst on “thugs” linked to its opponents in exile (Qatar for example) and the country’s main foreign foes like the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia to name a few.

Speaking through its own channels, chief commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Hossein Salami spoke out words of wisdom. He has been seen to be the main person instrumental in twisting the minds of Iraqi governance leading to the civil disobedience which has gripped Iraq right now.

 “The aim of our enemies was to endanger the existence of the Islamic republic by igniting riots in Iran ... But America and the Zionist regime (Israel) lack political wisdom about Iran and Iranians,” boasted Hossein Salami.
Tehran refuses to share statistics but according to Amnesty International, the death toll in Iran has crossed a 200 mark.
Struggle for survival has been difficult for Iranians since U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from Tehran’s nuclear deal along with six world powers and also re-imposed sanctions that have further crippled Iran’s oil-based economy.

Iran refuses to budge despite the despicable condition of its own people and has refused dialogue at every possible forum with US representatives, terming it as a pressure tactic by the Americans to sway everything in their favour.

Iran holds a position that dialogue is possible only when America lifts up its sanctions and ends a kind of ‘economic terrorism’ tactic it is using against Iran.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
