Parliament's wartime work Hormuz, venues and markets

Oct 4

Rouzbehani reports Ghalibaf saying Hormuz will remain closed until Iran's seven Islamabad conditions are met, and that Iran will both fight and negotiate while resisting what he calls cognitive warfare. The complete parliamentary report also covers review of the foreign-infiltration bill and a quoted prohibition on foreign election support; a conditional return to Baharestan with supplementary virtual sessions; the Article 90 Committee's review of tax-system readiness and interagency duties under the speculation/profiteering tax law; and Agriculture Committee concerns about weak poultry demand, unpaid retailers, chick prices and future production. It ends with Tuesday's mixed in-person/virtual oversight and committee schedule.

The Article 90 Committee hears the tax authority's taxpayer-system report and reviews readiness to implement the profiteering/speculation tax law. Speakers describe extensive preparation and cooperation by the tax authority, economic ministry and other agencies to fulfill legal obligations by the prescribed deadline. No completed rollout or particular deadline date is established.
