Raisi’s Economic Team in Jeopardy<\/h3>\n

\"mohsen-rezaei-raisi-cabinet\"<\/p>\n

According to the state-run Hamshahri Online<\/a>, Mohammad Mokhber, the Iranian regime\u2019s vice president, announced today that both the presidential executive and economic deputies are removed from the government’s economic commission.<\/p>\n

According to Fars news agency, when the names of Ebrahim Raisi’s economic team were cited, some analysts and economists expressed serious disbelief about the composition because of the very conflicts the members had with each other. Sources inside the presidential palace had previously confirmed that the Raisi\u2019s vice president had serious disagreements with Mohsen Rezaei<\/a>, his economic deputy, over economic issues.<\/p>\n

Given the serious economic crisis at hand, state media now express doubts about whether Mohsen Rezaei intends to remain in the government as Vice President for Economic Affairs or not.<\/p>\n

Tehran\u2019s Appetite for US to Concede Has Increased, Official\u2019s Remark Shows<\/h3>\n

\"advisor-to-the-Iranian-regimes-negotiation-team-in-Vienna-Mohammad-Marandi\"<\/p>\n

Stating the United States has offered a lot of concessions during the nuclear talks in Vienna, an official close to the negotiations says the regime is now waiting for the Americans to cave in.<\/p>\n

According to the state-run Eghtesadnews<\/a>, an advisor to the Iranian regime\u2019s negotiation team in Vienna Mohammad Marandi said: “According to the Americans, Iran has been able to gain significant concessions in Vienna. So for this reason, some members of the American delegation resigned and left the team in protest.\u201d<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, when Mr. Robert Malley went to Congress and reported on the negotiation process, the reactions were negative,\u201d Marandi added. \u201cMembers of Congress protested, believing that the American team had conceded too much. In the last days of the negotiations, things were moving fast, but on various issues, including verification of lifting sanctions, guarantees, as well as the IRGC issue, the Americans stopped working at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The problem is from within the United States. Neither the Europeans, nor the Russians, nor the Chinese, nor Tehran, have a problem continuing. But we have to wait and see whether Mr. Biden will decide to continue or not,” Marandi concluded.<\/p>\n
