Parliament to re-interpellate Karbasian
Thirty-three unidentified parliamentarians presented a plan to the Parliament Leadership Board to interpellate Economic Affairs and Finance Minister Massoud Karbasian on August 19. Parliament Leadership Board spokesperson Behrouz Nemati announced that Karbasian will appear before a plenary session of Parliament on August 26 for interpellation. Parliament previously questioned Karbasian on July 31 due to grievances over economic issues and volatility in the foreign currency exchange market. Parliament has increased efforts for impeachment proceedings for Rouhani administration cabinet members following merchant-class protests in Tehran on June 24. Parliament successfully impeached Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare Minister Ali Rabiei on August 8. (Alef) (YJC) (President.ir)

Hajji Babaei also called on President Hassan Rouhani to “change a number of [his] ministers.” Babaei’s comments follow a parliamentary announcement that President Hassan Rouhani will appear before Parliament on August 29 to answer parliamentarians’ questions on a number of issues, most notably on the country’s poor economic condition. Parliamentarians may begin to initiate plans for Jahangiri’s interpellation. (Alef)
Qom seminary students stage anti-Rouhani protest
Seminary students in Qom, Qom Province staged an anti-President Hassan Rouhani protest on August 16. Protesters chanted anti-Rouhani slogans and cited concerns over Iran’s poor economic condition. One of the protesters carried a placard with an implicit death threat to Rouhani. Qom-based Shia Marja Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi called the protests a “calamity.” Shirazi also expressed concern over IRGC involvement in the protests. The IRGC issued a statement on August 20 condemning the protesters’ actions and denying any sort of involvement in the protests. IRGC Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (Qom Province) Unit Commander Brig. Gen. 2C Gholam Reza Ahmadi penned a letter to Shirazi on August 21 also denying IRGC involvement in the protests. (Donya-e Eqtesad) (Kayhan) (Twitter) (IRNA) (Tasnim News Agency)
Khamenei prohibits negotiations with U.S.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei emphasized that the regime will not negotiate with the U.S. and that negotiations “are prohibited” during a speech on August 13. Khamenei also attributed Iran’s economic shortcomings to “domestic problems” and argued that U.S. sanctions are not the cause of Iran’s economic issues. Khamenei also expressed support for the Judiciary’s crackdown on financial and currency-related crimes. Khamenei’s comment follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s July 30 offer to hold negotiations with President Hassan Rouhani. (Leader.ir)
- Jannati calls for Judiciary to hold financial crime trials publicly. Assembly of Experts head Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati stated that the Judiciary should hold its corruption and financial crime trials publicly on August 14. Jannati argued that public trials will improve the public’s trust in the “revolution and the system.” Jannati’s remarks come after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei approved the Judiciary’s establishment of specialized tribunals to prosecute financial crimes on August 11. The Judiciary has arrested several government officials for financial crimes and corruption including Ahmad Araghchi, the nephew of Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araghchi.

Total officially withdraws from Phase 11 development of South Pars gas field
French oil company Total SA officially cancelled its plans to develop the South Pars Gas Field on August 20.

Unidentified Iranian Oil Ministry officials previously claimed that Chinese state-owned oil and gas company Chinese National Petroleum (CNPC) will take over Total’s majority 50.1 percent share, giving CNPC a majority stake of 80.1 percent.
