Iran: control

The Iranian government restricts food exports in a measure to control prices, regulate the domestic market and alleviate shortages.
According to Nourlaw.com, the government announced May 25 a decree to make the export of chicken meat, vegetable oil, potatoes, peas, split peas and beans subject to heavy levies.
In recent weeks the government put already heavy levies on the export of rice and corn.

Sunday the head of Chastity Headquarters in Isfahan announced that no taxi is allowed to offer service to "women who are inappropriately dressed".
He also said that the plan to stop women from riding bicycles has been successful, but a lot more is to do.
On the "not allowed"list is among other things make-up, clothes which show a piece of leg, bright colors.
Neither sex is to wear the T-shirts of "deviant groups," that is, Western rock groups and rappers.


Iran plans to build a cross-country pipeline to transfer oil from the Caspian region to the Persian Gulf and world markets.
The pipeline will connect Neka Port in the north of the country to Jask Port in the south.
The Deputy Oil Minister said that he pipeline will have the capacity to carry one million barrels of oil per day, but he did not elaborate on the projected cost or completion date of the project.
Iran also wants to build two big oilrefineries along the Caspian Sea coastline to refine crude oil.
At the moment six 63,000-ton ships are constructed along the Caspian coastline to facilitate shipment of oil and gas.
