EghtesadOnline: Tehran’s Grand Bazaar showed signs of returning to normal on Tuesday. On the same day, Iran’s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani denounced as “treason against the state and nation” the opportunistic move by some elements to agitate the market, saying severe punishment awaits those behind such disruption to the country’s economy.

EghtesadOnline: Although restoration of the Grand Bazaar in downtown Tehran to enhance safety of the 114-hectare historical market began in mid-2015, it only gathered pace since the beginning of the new fiscal year on March 21.
