Ghasem Makarem Shirazi Arrested: Rostam Ghasemi's Black Box

Qasem Makarem Shirazi was arrested, the black box of Rostam Ghasemi

Qasem Makarem Shirazi, a close associate of Rostam Ghasemi, the Minister of Roads and Urban Development in Raisi’s government, known as the minister’s black box, was arrested.

Speculations suggest that he was arrested by the IRGC Intelligence Organization. The widespread corruption in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, which was supported by a specific security circle, has led to the breaking of the ironclad immunity of some individuals due to changes in security officials in recent months. The recent arrests in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development are likely a prelude to major changes in this ministry.
