Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. Al-Riyadh newspaper in its editorial entitled ''Effectiveness of sanctions on counterfeit goods" wrote that the Ministry of Commerce and Investment continues to make almost daily statements of libeling institutions that have been implicated in displaying counterfeit products for sale in violation of the trademark regulation and intellectual property rights. The paper noted that Saudi Customs, for example, announced 18 months ago that it had seized about 41.4 million units in three months, worth SR 311 million, indicating that everyone agrees that one of the reasons is the weakness of monitoring and sanctions mechanisms. Al-Youm newspaper in its editorial entitled "Terrorist Hezbollah is suffocating" wrote that after the weakness of the mullahs' regime and its imminent collapse following the activation of the US sanctions on Iran, its followers everywhere have felt their suffocating crises, including the terrorist Hezbollah in Lebanon, where its Secretary General declared this feeling as the mullah regime has been supporting it financially, militarily and politically, noting that this party will be suffocated after its masters in Tehran collapse. The paper added that Hezbollah is currently suffering from pressures from all sides after the huge financial aid that has been pumped in its arteries by the Iranian regime has stopped and it is now paying the price for its crimes, transgressions and terrorist operations being carried out everywhere, and for its blatant bias towards the Iranian terrorist regime which can no longer withstand the overwhelming popular revolution that threatens it and warns of its fall in the near future, pointing out that with the fall of the mullahs, the phenomenon of terrorism will collapse everywhere.
