Kate Turlington + 44 KT February 7, 2018 This is huge, President Rouhani has ordered the Revolutionary Guard (and all other branches of the armed forces) to divest all their business assets (including energy assets) to help prop up the economy.

TraderTate + 186 TS February 7, 2018 what kind of energy assets are we talking about here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT February 7, 2018 I think a lot of downstream stuff (refineries, petrochemical plants, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seleskya + 50 AS February 7, 2018 Rouhani's been chipping away at their business influence for a little while now, but this 'order' is big. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kate Turlington + 44 KT February 11, 2018 Right, but Rouhani's not going to strip the Revolutionary Guards of their massive assets without a fight. I expect a major showdown here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
