Iran: Growing concerns over increasing poverty, unbridled corruption

Analysis by PMOI/MEK

 

Iran, June 27, 2019 – The Iranian regime admitted that the country is going through its worst economic situation. The institutionalized corruption in Iran has left the mullahs without the ability to control possible social uprising, and thus causing regime authorities to panic and warn each other. 

According to the Iranian government’s spokesperson nothing is left to be sanctioned, yet Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani continues his “promise therapy” approach by providing fabricated statistics. All the while, the people of Iran are facing skyrocketing prices.   

Expenses have increased up to 50 percent for Iranian families, the state-run agencies wrote on Monday quoting the regime’s Statistics Center.

“So many of our authorities and members of parliament describe the current situation as an economic war, and even more turbulent than the Iran-Iraq War (of the 1980s). Yet the government is seeking certain remedies for the crisis,” said Farshad Momeni, one of the regime’s economic experts.

“Literarily there has never been organized efforts to create an economic plan. On the other hand, we have had a tremendous waste of resources, leaving our manufacturers facing serious crises. This was the price of not having a plan,” he added.

“The country’s economy, instead of reaching an economic bloom and increase, moves closer to devastation with each passing year,” Farshadi continued.

Vali Maliki, a member of the regime’s Majlis [parliament], made telling remarks in reference to Rouhan.

“Do you understand a father that is desperate to provide the minimum of his family’s daily needs? Do you feel the pressure that he goes through? Will the tears of that mother, or the orphan girl who get nothing but the 10 dollars governmental subsidies, will they hurt you?” he asked.

During the regime’s infighting, on Monday, Hassan Kamran Dastgerdi, another Majlis member, while admitting to the regime’s corruption and rapacity, made interesting comments.

“If there were any transfers, we wouldn’t have unemployment and high prices. What could we do when someone eats well, lives well, sits in the backseat and someone opens the door for him? This is pure feudal culture!” he said.

The Iranian people’s disappointing political situation, due to the regime’s incapability and rapacity, will ultimately turn into a storm uprooting this regime. There is growing public frustration. That is the reason why we are witnessing daily strikes and protests, with Iranian Resistance Units – a network linked closely to the Iranian opposition group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) – at the forefront to overthrow the mullahs’ regime in Iran.
