Iran’s Regime Pays Terrorist Quds Force Mercenaries Five Times More Than Iranian Nurses
Iran’s Regime Pays Terrorist Quds Force Mercenaries Five Times More Than Iranian Nurses
The mullahs’ regime claims that it is unable to provide medicine and medical facilities to the Iranian people due to cash shortage caused by international sanctions.
But over the past three months, as coronavirus has spread across Iran and killed many people, the regime continues to send cash to pay its foreign mercenaries in Syria and Lebanon in order to continue its terrorism and war in the region.
The monthly salary of IRGC mercenaries in Syria averages about $1,000 a month.
According to Ministry of Health officials, the average salary of nurses in Iran is $200 a month.
A simple comparison: The $200 monthly salary paid to an Iranian nurse is a fifth of the $1,000 average salary of IRGC mercenaries in Syria.
