Widespread corruption in the Iranian regime and the plundering of its wealth by the mullahs and the IRGC have led to an unprecedented spread of poverty in Iran.<\/sub><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The latest speeches by the Iranian regime\u2019s president Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> have given hope to the regime\u2019s state media that new changes to Iran\u2019s economy<\/a> are on the horizon, with a supposed improvement in the stock market, and higher wages for Iranian workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these desired outcomes would resolve many of Iran\u2019s current crises, but scepticism still remains as no practical solutions were outlined in any of Raisi\u2019s speeches to overcome the crises. With the recent increase in taxes, it practically rules out any chance of an increase in production in the country, or an economic boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran Focus said<\/a>, \u201cThe impoverished middle class is already struggling to survive, having lost much of their purchasing power, leaving them looking towards migrating abroad in their droves for a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no attempts, or even the ability, to solve Iran\u2019s current problems, the Iranian government are just adding to the mistakes they have already made, which in turn is causing the mass migration of Iranian\u2019s highly-educated experts and professionals who are leaving Iran in their droves to find better prospects elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the budget for the next Persian year was put together, under the assumption that they would be able to collect wealth taxes, the government put propositions into the budget that completely sidestep the welfare needs of Iranian society, and have barely anything to do with economic principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fararu daily discussed details of the mass corruption in Iran at the hands of the regime, highlighting that it has had severe consequences for the Iranian people. The daily wrote, \u201c\u2026inequality, class divisions, public dissatisfaction, budget deficits, waste of financial resources, etc. have increased, and most importantly, productivity has disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
