Setad (short for (ペルシア語:ستاد اجرایی فرمان امام), ''Setade Ejraiye Farmane Emam'', lit. "The Executive Headquarters of Imam's Directive") known as ''The Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order'' aka ''EIKO''〔http://www.treasury.gov/press-center/press-releases/Pages/jl1968.aspx〕〔http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/04/us-usa-iran-sanctions-idUSBRE9530ST20130604〕 (formerly "ستاد پیگیری فرمان هشتمادهای امام" ''Setade Peygiriye Farmane Hasht-Maddeiye Emam'' or "Headquarters for Pursuing Imam's Eight-Article Directive"), is a multi-sector Iranian business organization in the Islamic Republic of Iran, with holdings of 37 companies, and an estimated value in US dollars of $95 billion (made up of about $52 billion in real estate and $43 billion in corporate holdings.) It is under the control of the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and created from thousands of properties confiscated from Iranians. The organization has been described as "secretive" and "little known". It is not overseen by the Iranian Parliament, as that body voted in 2008 to "prohibit itself from monitoring organizations that the supreme leader controls, except with his permission". It is, however, an important factor in Khameni's power, giving him financial independence from parliament and the national budget, and thus "insulating him from Iran's messy factional infighting".〔 Much of the information compiled about Setad outside of Iran has come from a 2013 investigation by Reuters news agency. In response, Iranian authorities have stated the findings of the investigation lack "any basis", are "far from realities" and "not correct," but given no further details.〔 According to the same Reuters report, there is no evidence that Khamenei is tapping Setad to enrich himself.〔 According to Professor As’ad Abdul Rahman: ==History== The organization started in 1989 to "manage and sell properties abandoned in the chaotic years" after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Much of its proceeds were to go to assist war veterans, war widows "and the downtrodden."〔 In 2006, as sanctions against the Islamic Republic intensified, the organization determined that conglomerates such as the South Korean Chaebol helped developing economies grow faster. To make a conglomerate out of Setad, the organization set out to acquire other companies and stakes in other companies. According to Reuters the organization acquired a stake in "a major bank" in 2007 and in "Iran's largest telecommunications company" in 2009. In 2010 it took control of Rey Investment Co, valued by the US Treasury Department at $40 billion that year. Setad maintains a complex network of front companies and subsidiaries abroad in places like Germany, Croatia, South Africa, the UAE, Turkey and beyond.〔 It stakes in publicly traded companies totaled nearly $3.4 billion.〔 Reuters reported that petrochemical companies belonging to Setad stand to benefit from the easing of sanctions stemming from the Geneva interim agreement on Iranian nuclear program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Setad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
