The National Council of Resistance of Iran <\/a>(NCRI) reported<\/a> on August 31 that the current dire situation with the Iranian economy has now hit its worst point, following decades of institutionalized corruption within the Iranian regime at the hands of the mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran\u2019s Economic Crises and Raisi\u2019s Hollow Promises<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The NCRI said<\/a>, \u201cWhile all economic indicators underline that the regime has no solutions for Iran\u2019s economic crises, the regime\u2019s new president Ebrahim Raisi <\/a>bogusly claims he will resolve economic issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iranian citizens take to the streets daily to protest as many workers face extreme poverty and are struggling to make ends meet. Speaking of these protests, the Etemad daily wrote in their publication last Saturday that, \u201cThe retirement funds are on the verge of collapse, with trillions of dollars\u2019 worth of uncleared debts. Due to the emptiness of the treasury, the country\u2019s welfare organization cannot provide adequate services to its target population.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quoting the Etemad daily, the NCRI <\/a>said, \u201cThe result of these problems are long queues of people, in offices of the Imam Khomeini\u2019s Relief Committee, waiting to become beneficiaries of this institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a report from the Khomeini Relief Committee, it said that estimates indicated that between 2001 and 2019 up to 33% of Iran\u2019s population fell below the poverty line. In 2011, the poverty line lay at an income of 950 thousand tomans. By 2020, that figure had sky-rocketed to 10 million tomans, a staggering inflation rate in just 9 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
