  Written by Farid Mahoutchi In light of mounting global exposure by major media outlets—including The Guardian , Politico , the Atlantic and Le Monde —documenting the aggressive and coercive tactics of his loyalists, the political ambitions of Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s ousted monarchial dictatorship, are coming under intense scrutiny. Adding to this international chorus, an investigative report by the German ARD television program Kontraste , broadcast on May 28, 2026, reveals a disturbing pattern of physical violence, severe threats, and systematic harassment orchestrated by Pahlavi’s supporters against journalists, human rights activists, and political dissidents. While Pahlavi attempts to position himself as the potential leader of a transitional government and a beacon for a “free and democratic Iran,” critics increasingly question his democratic legitimacy and his failure to curb his radical base .

-


IRAN, 27 July 2017--The head of the Transport and Traffic Committee of Tehran City Council says that the Metro Motor Operations Company deducts the employees' premium fees from their salary payment cheques but does not deposit it into the insurer's accounts.
According to state-run ILNA news agency, on Sunday July 23, 2017, Mohsen Sarkhou said: “The social security premium of the Metro operations company has not been paid since the beginning of June, and this has made difficulties for the staff's medical insurance booklet being accepted by the medical centers.
He added: “This is while these amounts are constantly and monthly deducted from their accounts. Workers' insurance premium is not paid in the past years which has caused various issues for employees who are on the verge of retirement.”
“Subsidiary premium is not paid to the staff of Metro Operations Company, although under the insurance premiums, the company has reduced personnel salaries, but has not deposited in due time to the accounts of insurer companies,” Sarkhou added
 I guess any huge city has this problems and Tehran with 14 Million people is no exception. Some of the pix are so funny

The regime's agent admitted that the lack of calculation of the hard work of Tehran's subway staff has caused difficulties for the employees in the process of retirement. He said: “Changing the job titles of a number of employees on the pretext of changing the organizational chart has led to difficulties in the records of some people who have already been in this difficult and harmful work.”
He added that the lack of charge of the welfare card of Parsian employees since 2006 and the non-payment of debt to the Tehran Municipality reserve while deductions are made monthly from the company employees' legal fees are also other issues that cause problems for the staff of the Metro Operation Company.
