Kothari, deputy chair of the mullahs’ Majlis (parliament) Security Commission, once again threatened the Bazaar merchants and moneychangers after their vast protests, the state-run Fars news agency reported.
“We will take action to make you sorry for what you did,” he threatened.
“Those who seek to gain profits, cooperate with the ‘arrogance’ and please them by raising currency rates must know they will be severely dealt with and they will be sorry for their actions,” Kothari added.
In the mean time, in yet another attempt to cause fear among the society, a source in the regime’s Tehran prosecutor’s office said investigations on the 16 arrested individuals accused of causing disruption in the Bazaar have initiated.
