By Parisa Hafezi and Angus McDowall
DUBAI, Sept 3 (Reuters) – A U.S. campaign to throttle Iran‘s economy by blockading its oil exports and stopping sanctions evasion is growing increasingly difficult to withstand, three senior Iranian sources said.

Washington has in recent weeks sought to ratchet up the economic pressure on Tehran, in an effort to extract concessions in any future negotiation that six months of conflict have so far failed to secure.

Although Iran‘s clerical rulers managed to bypass sanctions for decades, the latest U.S. moves have left them in a far more sensitive position, with few remaining channels to secure foreign currency or buy goods, the sources said.

BEIRUT, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Iran has warned the United States that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on a mountainous ridge in southern Lebanon where Iranian military personnel are holed up alongside Hezbollah fighters, three officials briefed on the message told Reuters.

The message, delivered last month, highlights Iran‘s continued direct involvement in the ground fighting in southern Lebanon and its readiness to retaliate against Israeli attacks there as the regional war enters its seventh month.

JERUSALEM, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Defense Minister Isr

JERUSALEM, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that Israel would strike Iran‘s energy and civilian infrastructure if Iran were to attack Israel, the country’s latest threat to Tehran amid a sudden recent escalation of U.S.-Iran fighting.

Fears of renewed escalation gripped the Middle East this week after the U.S. and Iran exchanged their biggest barrage since July, with Washington striking Iran‘s southern coast and Tehran firing at U.S. bases across the region.

Israel, which with the U.S. launched a joint air war against Iran in February, has not been involved in the latest rounds of fighting. Speaking to defence ministry employees on Thursday, Katz said that an “Iranian attack on Israel would free Israel from any existing limitations on attacking Iran.”

Katz added: “We will cripple all of Iran‘s national military and civilian infrastructure – including energy infrastructure – and return Iran deep into the Stone Age and darkness.”

By Kayhan Life Staff Sept. 2 - An Islamic Republic

By Kayhan Life Staff
Sept. 2 - An Islamic Republic parliamentary committee is investigating the Ministry of Agriculture Jihad to determine whether economic corruption linked to the import of livestock feed and other agricultural inputs has cost the public purse as much as 2 quadrillion rials ($1 billion).

The Ministry of Agriculture Jihad allowed preferential government foreign exchange rates to be applied to the import of livestock feed and other agricultural goods. However, after the products entered the country, they were reportedly sold on the free market at prices up to four times higher than their original cost.

The ministry is now resisting a request from the committee in charge of investigating and inspecting the Ministry of Agriculture to provide a list of companies that imported these goods. The refusal has raised concerns about the possible existence of a corruption and rent-seeking network — referring to profits or benefits obtained above normal market value — within the ministry’s upper levels.

The Tehran-based Tabnak news website reported on Aug. 31 on the alleged $1 billion corruption scandal. It said the Ministry of Agriculture Jihad’s response to a request from Iran’s General Inspection Organization (GIO, affiliated with the Judiciary) for a list of importers had exposed what it termed a massive foreign-exchange rent-seeking scheme involving livestock feed and other agricultural inputs.

Sept. 2 - The United States’s “Economic D-Day” — also known as Operation Economic Outcast, a campaign designed to maximize sanctions pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran and deepen its economic isolation — could prove to be the missing link in the U.S. campaign to bring down the regime.

Even before the campaign was officially launched, the Iranian currency fell to its lowest-ever level of nearly 2,060,000 rials per U.S. dollar. Persistent efforts by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) failed to lift it to 2,000,000 rials per dollar.

Although the dollar functions as a thermometer of Iran’s economy, and its unprecedented surge highlights the powerful impact of the U.S.’s economic campaign against the regime, other factors have also become strikingly apparent: a decline in Iran’s oil exports to China and rising prices across various markets, including the automobile market, in less than a week.

The new economic pressures are operating on three key fronts:

By Nazanine Nouri
Sept. 2 - Norway’s new King Haakon VIII has taken an oath of allegiance to the Constitution in a ceremony presided over by Masud Gharahkhani — the Iranian-born President of the Norwegian Parliament (Storting), who ranks second only to the monarch in the country’s official hierarchy.

Norway’s King Harald V passed away on Sept. 1, paving the way for his son Haakon to take over the throne. In Norway, a new monarch must swear allegiance to the Constitution in a ceremony officiated by the President of the Parliament.

During the ceremony, King Haakon VIII declared: “Honorable President of the Storting, I promise and swear that I will govern the Kingdom of Norway in accordance with its Constitution and Laws; so help me God, the Almighty and Omniscient.”
