Despite the regime’s propaganda efforts to minimize the scope of the Israeli attack early Friday against a military base in the province of Isfahan – in central Iran – and even to mock the capabilities of the Security Forces Defense of Israel (IDF), concern is high among the Iranian population. No one rules out another Israeli coup on Iranian soil in the coming hours, nor can the possibility of a response action by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic be excluded if it occurs. «We are very afraid. We were all woken up by a very loud noise, the projectiles have fallen not far from where we live,” mechanical engineer Ahmad Hosseini told LA RAZÓN from the city of Isfahan.
«I am very worried about the future of my children. Between today and tomorrow we are going to buy gasoline and dollars. And above all rice, a lot of rice, because we know that with what is happening, the sanctions and the bad government that we have, because they have shown that they do not have the level to manage the economy of a country like Iran, the prices of essential products “They are going to rise in the coming days,” explains Hosseini to this newspaper.
Although the procession goes indoors and the families of Isfahan are concerned about what may happen in the next few hours, Friday passed in the streets of the city with a feeling of normality. Yesterday social networks showed images of the center of Isfahan converted into the scene of a massive rally that chanted patriotic anthems and songs against Israel and in favor of the Palestinian State. In the same way, the official IRNA agency showed images of a large demonstration in favor of Operation True Promise in Tehran and against the “Zionist regime.”
“Sound [por la explosión] “It is related to the firing of Isfahan’s defense systems,” said the Iranian army commander in Isfahan province, Siavosh Mihan-Dust, after Iranian state television reported that “loud explosions” had been heard there. province. The regime also broadcast throughout the day in its media and news agencies images of the country’s airports operating with apparent normality. However, although there has not been a military deployment in the streets yet, residents of the city tell this newspaper, security is maximum.
From Spain, LA RAZÓN is served by another resident of the city of Isfahan, Ehsan Rahimi, who left his country to pursue his doctorate studies in History at the University of Alicante and work as a translator and interpreter of Farsi, the main language of Iran. Regarding the relevance of this Friday’s Israeli attack, the young man explains that “the importance of this base, Shekari, is the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-24 attack aircraft in the possession of the Iranian Army. The facilities take on added importance because they are part of Iran’s nuclear facilities in Isfahan. “Israel intended to neutralize the Iranian air defense.”
Regarding the deep feelings of the population at this time, Rahimi recognizes that “there are divided opinions in the country: on the one hand, the regime and its followers, and on the other, a sector of the population that wants the fall of the ayatollahs’ regime. and who knows that we will have to help from outside to make it happen, but who also does not like their country being attacked militarily.
“In situations like this, the strong patriotism of the Iranian people prevails, the pride of being Persian, and if the country is attacked, people will side with their country, and the authorities know that,” the young man explains to La RAZÓN. Iranian, who settled in Spain five years ago and has no intention of returning to his country. Many people his age are today forced recruits of the Army in dangerous areas, such as the border with Pakistan.
In the last few hours, traffic on social networks gave an account of another concern of the population at a time of patriotic effervescence and militaristic atmosphere: the repression against certain sectors of society, led by women. In recent days, the authorities of the mullahs’ regime have launched Operation Light in order to prevent women from relaxing in the correct use – in the eyes of the Islamic theocracy – of the Islamic veil or hijab. Arrests have already been recorded by what is known as the Moral Police on the streets of Iranian cities. Many women challenged the regime by stopping wearing the veil following the death of the young Mahsa Amini at the hands of the Moral Police in September 2022, an event that sparked the largest protests against the Islamic Republic in recent years.

The pig network got rid of the Atria dispute: Now the S group is speaking
– 2024-04-20 01:12:57
According to the S group, Atria’s pork fillet disappeared from store shelves at the end of normal negotiations. Atria’s products can still be found in abundance on store shelves.
Stores regularly negotiate contract terms with suppliers. Now the S group and Atria could not reach an agreement on two products. Illustration picture. Joel Maisalmi
A storm in a glass of water. This is how the discussion about the disappearance of Atria’s pork fillets from the shelves of S group stores is perceived in the cooperative municipality.
After Maaseudun Tulevaisuu’s news about the S group’s decision, the comment fields were filled with angry statements. Also a Member of Parliament Markku Siponen (middle) took a stand on the matter.
Director of S Group’s grocery trade Sampo Top saw says that the cooperative has taken into account the media attention the decision received.
– We have read about this in the newspaper sections. This has been interpreted in many ways. In my opinion, it is important to say that we have 76 fresh pork products, and now there has been a discussion about two products, Päällysaho states.
Päällysaho cannot open more detailed negotiations than contract negotiations with an individual supplier.
– Each supplier decides individually what they want to offer and at what price. This decision was a normal activity related to those negotiations. The stores’ selections are not static, Päällysaho says.
From the absence of the product from the shelf, it can therefore be concluded that the S group and Atria did not reach an agreement on the financial terms of the contract in the new contract period.
Päällysaho reminds us that Atria has not disappeared from store shelves anywhere. Even for the pork tenderloin.
– In the summer period that has started, Atria has many of its branded products on the shelves of our stores. The company also offers solutions for the store’s own brands. Atria produces pork tenderloin for us under the Kotimaista brand, Päällysaho says.
Some stores sell

Some cooperatives sell Atria’s pork fillet despite the S group’s decision. According to Päällysaho, this is also suitable for the S group.
– In some stores, the importance of Atria’s pork fillet has been recognized. In such cases, the local operator can fill the selection if necessary. We always try to listen to our customers, Päällyaho says
Citizens have been irritated by the S group’s decision, especially the replacement of Atria’s meat with pork imported from Denmark. According to Päällysaho, the S group still mostly sells domestically produced meat.
– For many years, the amount of imported meat has not been as low as it is at the moment. The degree of domesticity of the meat is currently 95 percent, Päällysaho says.
