The Webster\u2019s English Dictionary defines the term \u201caccountability\u201d in two ways. First, it is \u201cthe quality or state of being accountable.\u201d Second, it is \u201cthe obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one\u2019s actions.\u201d Transparency and accountability are both critical for the efficient functioning of a modern economy and for fostering social well-being. Adequate transparency and accountability are therefore essential for ensuring that a country\u2019s resource wealth is managed for the benefit of the whole population. With the above in mind, this article would like to have a brief look at the factors of \u201caccountability\u201d and \u201ctransparency\u201d in Iran\u2019s economy today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/irans-economy-transparency-and-accountability\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Iran Sentences Journalist to Prison for Publishing Honor Killing Case in Western City<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-250834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city.jpg\" alt=\"Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Iran-sentences-journalist-to-prison-for-publishing-honor-killing-case-in-western-city-696x348.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">An Iranian journalist was sentenced to 27 months of prison and banned from journalism for publishing an honor killing case in Kuhdasht, western Iran.\u00a0According to the Human Rights News Agency, the journalist was identified as 36-year-old Gholamhossein Ghalandari (Sina).
