Moving on

 * I'm interested in helping to improve this article, but it's turning out to be a tougher-than-expected task, since I can't read a large amount of the source material. Right now, I'm just nibbling around the edges. I'm looking for detailed information (in English), and have a number of questions on the activities of the exchange in the early years of the Islamic Revolution...and later during the war. I know that trading in debt securities was halted, and that a number of larger corporations were nationalized(?). Was there growth in the mid-cap and small-cap markets during that time...were they even listed? Did the number of listed companies decline during that time? Were trading hours/days reduced? Did the Exchange ever suspend activity during those years? What sort of companies found a seat on the Exchange (if that is even the proper term, in Iran) when listings began to expand? Who brought order to the regulatory structure, and how? Are there examples of fines or criminal charges for securities-related crimes? Is insider trading a crime? When did the market begin to attract middle income investors, and not just high net worth individuals? How significant a role does religious regulatory oversight play in the day-to-day activities of the marketplace. Has the resource sector always predominated, or have manufacturing and service industries taken on a greater role? What is the exact process of capital formation in Iran today? Is there anything like a hot issue IPO in Iran? If so, how are shares allocated? Does the TSE ever plan to allow online/self-directed trading (like Scottrade in the US)? And so forth....

Your questions have their answers here for history (link given in the present article). SEO is the sole regulatory authority for all capital markets in Iran. There can be fines and sometimes the death penalty for financial crimes in Iran. The software used in the TSE is basically similar to the one used at the NYSE (with more details given in the present WP article). It allows automatic detection of suspicious trades (according to some algorithm that looks for suspicious patterns). Flagged trades are then reviewed manually by the TSE board for investigation. The stock market began to attract more investors during the renewed privatization drive in the economy. Democratization of the TSE is relatively new and the TSE still remains an investment opportunity for "well-off" Iranians (despite efforst made by the government). TSE must be Sharia compliant (Islamic law). SEO is in charge of that. Basically, the main difference with the NYSE is the prohibition of usury. For the rest, I let you read Central Bank of Iran and Banking in Iran. TSE's main sectors are all listed in the present article. It used to be mining until the IPO of Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI). The oil sector remains mostly state owned (because of the Constitution). However the downstream sector (such as refineries) and petrochemicals are being privatized. This is an opportunity for savy investors who have access to Wikipedia's unique and very detailed articles regarding Iran's economy. There is a bond market in Iran. The IPO market is also developing because of privatizations (since 2006). You can find those monthly reports at your fingertips and for free (in English). (& don't take it as an investment advise because investing in TSE is illegal for US persons -- because too profitable (& also because of the recent devaluation of the Iranian rial!) so we must hide this article from public view because some smart Wikipedians might learn how to do it nevertheless through (offshore banking)....:) and yes, online trading is available in Iran (explanations, links and details given in the present article under "electronic trading".)

 * Thank you! for that detailed response. I will read through all of those links for a more comprehensive understanding of the TSE. I spent quite a bit of time (several months ago) reading up on the bond market in Iran. It's quite a process, working around (or, I should say, "within") the usary restrictions. I'm not sure I have the ability to succinctly summarize the process for the TSE article, but I may give it a shot at some point. The official TSE "history" section link covering the Islamic Revolution period of the TSE is, unfortunately, just a tiny thumbnail of a paragraph. No real detail, I'm afraid. I can not complete work on the history section of the TSE article without a great deal more information from (another), far more detailed, reliable source. I would also like to add a more detailed explanation of the regulatory structure of the securities market in Iran. Perhaps to contrast the SEC/FINRA structure to the secular/religious structure of an Islamic marketplace. I would also like to find a few (free use) photos for the article. I remember seeing one that looked pretty interesting, with a room full of conservatively-dressed women performing what looked to be something like a floor broker/specialist-like function.
