Iran, August 26, 2018 – As internal disputes flare among the Iranian regime’s factions, the mullahs’ so-called parliament, the Majlis, impeached Masoud Karbasian, the finance minister of President Hassan Rouhani’s cabinet on Sunday.
137 Majlis members voted for this impeachment in the face of 121 votes against and two abstained.
Analysts believe the impeaching of two Rouhani ministers in a short period is a clear indication of how the Iranian regime’s is facing an utter impasse as crippling domestic and international crises escalate.
The Iranian people are continuing to protest and launch strikes across the country, and this phenomenon is playing an important role in the mullahs’ regime literally tearing apart from within.
On August 8th, following an intense feud ongoing for the past few days among the regime’s factions, and even various members of the mullahs’ parliament starting brawls during their sessions, the Iranian regime’s parliament voted to sack Ali Rabie, the labor minister of President Hassan Rouhani’s cabinet.
The regime’s parliament voted 129 in favor, 114 against and 3 abstentions in regards to Rabie’s sacking.
Iran is witnessing this intensifying dispute as protests spread across the country.
“We have 8 million young people unemployed. They are members of the unemployed division who are now (protesting) in the streets,” said Iranian parliament member Qasem Jasemi today on the floor.
During the past few weeks, the regime’s feuding factions are revealing how their rivals are involved in plundering the Iranian people of their wealth. This goes far beyond Rabie and Karbasian as corruption accusations are also raised against Masoud Pezeshkian (deputy parliament speaker). Reports indicate his children living abroad are living luxurious lives while posts of them driving very expensive cars are causing uproars inside Iran.
During the past few weeks various cities including Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, Karaj and many others have witnessed a new spark of protests mirroring those seen earlier in Kazerun, Borazjan, and Khorramshahr.
This proves the Dec/Jan uprising continues as we speak and the return of US sanctions are making the status quo utterly impossible to bear for the ruling regime.
Iranians on social media are saying the current situation resembles the final months of the Shah’s rule prior to his overthrow in February 1979.
