At the threshold of holding the new presidential election show and while the new parliament has yet to commence its work, power struggles are underway at various levels in Tehran.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, May 30, the review of Gholamreza Tajgardoun’s credentials, a new member of the regime\u2019s legislative arm, led to shouting and confrontation in the open session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (also called the Majlis). This occurred despite Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s warning to the MPs to avoid “divisive rhetoric, quarrels, and enemy-pleasing disputes.”<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, a verbal clash over the issue arose between <\/span>Malek Shariati and Gholamreza Tajgardoun<\/span><\/a>, which led to MPs pushing each other while one told the other that \u201cI\u2019ll cut you in pieces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamid Rasaee<\/span><\/a>, a member of the Paydari Front, stated that “one person in the parliament threatened Mr. Shariati and Mr. Salimi, saying that he would not let them reach their homes at night.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports indicate that a group of MPs insisted that the credentials of some of their peers, including Tajgardoun, be put to a vote in the parliament. However, <\/span>Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf<\/span><\/a>, the Speaker of the Parliament, dismissed the protest, stating that the credentials had been approved in the relevant committees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tajgardoun was previously accused by several representatives of “rent-seeking,” “corruption,” “nepotism,” among other charges, and on July 8, 2020, the representatives of the eleventh parliament rejected his credentials with 102 opposing votes, 128 approving votes, and 21 abstentions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
