Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry entered negotiations to secure new hedging contracts for wheat and other strategic commodities, alongside renewing existing oil hedges, to shield the upcoming budget from escalating regional volatility, a government source tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why hedging matters:<\/strong> While the draft budget originally estimated wheat at USD 270 per ton, officials warn that petroleum and grain will be the \u201cmost affected\u201d if the crisis persists, prompting the push to renew oil hedges and lock in commodity costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Double pressure on FX: <\/strong>The greenback changed hands at EGP 52.85 (buy) and EGP 52.95 (sell) at major banks, as interbank activity climbed past USD 700 mn before the close. This was fueled by a combination of secondary debt market sell-offs and a rush by importers to open letters of credit early amid global shipping disruptions. Banking sources emphasized that while portfolio outflows are a factor, the accelerated demand for FX from importers has added significant pressure to the exchange rate over the last 48 hours, leaving the interbank floor dominated by \u201cthe possibility of further increases\u201d as regional tensions show no sign of abating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">^^ <strong>We\u2019ll have more on this story in tomorrow\u2019s edition of EnterpriseAM.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\ud83c\udf10 <strong>Still leading the front pages this afternoon is the appointment of Iran\u2019s <\/strong><strong>new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei. <\/strong>The news has been met with fears of prolonged regional conflict and a continuing spike in oil prices \u2014 crude is currently trading over a record USD 119 per barrel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Following the oil price surge<\/strong>, G7 finance ministers are reportedly set to engage in talks over a possible release of emergency oil reserves in a meeting later today coordinated by the International Energy Agency and its 32 members.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> \ud83c\udfa5 <strong>As we move into week two of the war on Iran and get into <\/strong><strong>the mechanical reporting of new missile attacks and mounting death tolls<\/strong>, it\u2019s sometimes easy to forget the suffering of a population that in many respects resembles our own. Iran is a rich, vibrant, resilient, and diverse country that has been choked by 45 years of sanctions and defined by the acts of its authoritarian regime. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In an interview with EnterpriseAM, Iranian journalist and Columbia University media studies scholar <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kouroshziabari.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Kourosh Ziabari<\/a><\/strong> discusses the profound shifts in Iranian society, the media's portrayal of Iran and the current conflict, and the enduring resilience of Iran\u2019s civil society. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Speaking to us from New York as the US-Israeli war on Iran entered its fifth day<\/strong>, Ziabari argued that the \u201cone-dimensional\u201d portrayal of his home country by Western, and often regional, media outlets has misinformed the public and effectively dehumanized a nation of 90 mn people, paving the way for the bombs now falling on Tehran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Challenging the \u2018robotic narrative\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ziabari, who grew up in Iran before moving to the US in 2022, contends that the West\u2019s perception of Iran is trapped in a narrow loop of security-centric talking points.<\/strong> \u201cAll we hear is: nuclear, proxies, and missiles,\u201d Ziabari tells EnterpriseAM. This reductionist framing, he argues, intentionally ignores the elements of life that define the Iranian experience, such as art, food, culture, and music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>By stripping away the domestic reality of Iran <\/strong>\u2014 its vibrant student movements, its scientific achievements, and its everyday civil society \u2014 the media creates a vacuum where only the state exists. \u201cWhen a country is reduced to its leadership or its military capabilities, the indiscriminate suffering of its civilians becomes far easier for a foreign public to rationalize,\u201d explains Ziabari. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The reality on the ground is very different.<\/strong> \u201cAfter the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, activists actually transformed life in Iran in a very tangible way that we had never seen before. They defied the government and convinced the administration of President Pezeshkian to refuse to pass into law the legislation intensifying the hijab restrictions after the killing of Mahsa Amini. Step by step, Iranian civil society made gains, set new benchmarks, and achieved new milestones,\u201d explains Ziabari.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tehran Design Week, held in November 2025, is a case in point.<\/strong> The event, which brought together product design, fashion, graphics, and contemporary crafts in the Iranian capital, was by all accounts a staggering show of creativity, representative of a new Iran led by fearless young people who are breaking taboos. And it\u2019s not just design week; it\u2019s concerts, jazz festivals, fashion shows, and even raves that are being depicted on Iranian Instagram accounts. In a rare article on the changing face of Iranian society. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/12\/01\/world\/middleeast\/iran-loosening-social-restrictions.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times<\/a> called it \u201cgrassroots change from a new generation of Iranians who connected to the outside world through social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Fast forward to war<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cIranian civil society has always found ways of reasserting itself and manifesting its ingenuity, but all of this has been undone. <\/strong>It has unraveled overnight because you have an active war situation in which many of these new venues that people were posting about, along with Unesco heritage sites, have been destroyed. Coffee shops, bookshops, Enqelab Square, where there is a huge cultural center opposite Tehran University, have all been severely impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ziabari describes the current situation as one of the most challenging periods of his life.<\/strong> The personal toll is intensified by the difficulty of maintaining contact with family in Rasht due to severe internet restrictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cObserving this much civilian suffering is not something I can come to terms with<\/strong>,\u201d Ziabari says, noting that his concern extends to all victims of injustice, from Ukraine to Gaza. He critiques the current geopolitical discourse, suggesting that lofty academic ideals of objectivity, democracy, and international law \u201chave been pretty much buried.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A country is being carpet-bombed, and thousands of civilians are being killed.<\/strong> \u201cUnfortunately, even when civilian suffering is on full display, when the indiscriminate illegal nature of this war is clearly recognizable to everyone, we are still seeing that there are voices actively trying to rationalize and sugarcoat, invoking euphemisms to say that it's not a war, it's a military operation. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">On the diaspora celebrations of war<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cClearly there are [<\/strong><strong>mns<\/strong><strong>] of Iranians who are in favor of a democratic change and a transition away from the Islamic Republic<\/strong>, but I don't believe that they ever asked foreign powers to come and intervene. We cannot export democracy to countries which we do not understand or for whose culture we do not have any appreciation,\u201d Ziabari said. He also cautions against giving too much weight to the diaspora monarchists. \u201cThey are the ones who have been actively campaigning for not just war, but before that for sanctions, for pretty much the immiseration of Iran because they are not the ones who are ultimately impacted and affected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The path forward<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For Ziabari, the path forward requires the media to stop being \u201cstereotypical\u201d and to start portraying Iran \u201cfor its good, bad, and ugly<\/strong>.\u201d He argues that more nuanced, multi-dimensional coverage would highlight the resilience of a civil society that is capable of driving its own change without \u201cforeign recipes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/after-hours\/\">AFTER HOURS<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/media\/\">media<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"687073 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"687073\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/03\/09\/687073\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-687073\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-687073 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashreq.com\/en\/egypt\/private\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/5\/1134.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"687074\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"687074\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Ears to the Ground<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/03\/09\/pod-save-the-world-breaks-down-everything-happening-in-iran-and-the-world\/\">\r\n                            Pod Save the World does not shy away from criticism                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/03\/09\/pod-save-the-world-breaks-down-everything-happening-in-iran-and-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
