Seventy-two years ago, Iran’s Parliament enacted a landmark oil nationalization law, driven by Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and Ayatollah Kashani, in response to foreign exploitation, primarily by British interests. This legislation aimed to reclaim Iran’s sovereignty over its oil wealth, previously controlled by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Following the law’s ratification in March 1951, Western powers retaliated with sanctions and orchestrated a coup in June 1953, leading to Mosaddegh’s removal. The event symbolizes Iran’s struggle against imperialism and has lasting effects on its oil industry, shaping the nation’s quest for autonomy and control over its resources.

Iravani asserts Iran’s policies are legitimate and in line with international law, emphasizing a commitment to peaceful dialogue, particularly regarding claims of arms transfers to Russia for the Ukraine conflict.
In Iran, a crisis is brewing in the healthcare system as approximately 30,000 general practitioners are leaving the profession due to low doctor’s fees, which are set at only 1.26 million rials (about $20). Mohammad Raiszadeh, head of the Medical Council, emphasizes that stagnating incomes and high inflation, exceeding 40%, have diminished doctors’ purchasing power. The government’s fee structure, announced annually, fails to align with inflation, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among healthcare professionals. This trend threatens the availability of medical services and underscores the urgent need for regulatory reforms to address financial concerns and retain healthcare providers in Iran.
