Other state-run dailies also published his account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ms. Farideh Karimi, a member of the Paris-based <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104076275379213468454\/posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>\u00a0and a human rights activist, on Tuesday said the suffering of the Iranian people had nothing to do with international sanctions on the regime and everything to do with the regime\u2019s policies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s wrong to see this as just another unfortunate news story. Iran holds one tenth of the world\u2019s proven oil reserves and has the second largest global natural gas reserves. It\u2019s also wrong to think that this disturbing news is related to international sanctions,\u201d Ms. Karimi said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAs economists have reported, from 2005 to 2008, Iran\u2019s oil export revenue amounted to $244 billion, equalling the 13 preceding years from 1992 to 2004. That\u2019s close to $500 billion in just 17 years. This windfall could have brought about an exceptional set of circumstances for Iran; if the money was spent properly today we would not be witnessing such harrowing examples. Unfortunately however, aside from the money pocketed by the mullahs and their Revolutionary Guards, the vast proportion of Iran\u2019s revenue has been spent on export of terrorism and fundamentalism to the region and on the regime\u2019s nuclear weapons projects,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEven if international sanctions are lifted, we would not witness any improvement in the lives of ordinary Iranians. None of the money will go to the pockets of the Iranian people, just as it never went prior to the sanctions taking effect.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Addressing the same Society Workgroup in Tehran on Saturday, Reza Mahboubi, the director of the Social Office of the regime\u2019s Interior Ministry pointed out that throughout Iran more than 18 million people are living in shanty towns or are homeless on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese figures are truly worrying. I can\u2019t announce many of the figures here because there are journalists present,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Last week a senior official of the regime acknowledged that at least 20,000 homeless Iranians are living in cardboard boxes on the streets of Tehran, even as the real number of homeless people in the Iranian capital is believed to be several times the official figure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTen percent of those who sleep in cardboard boxes suffer from contagious illnesses and another 10 percent are affected by aids,\u201d the official state news agency IRNA quoted the spokesperson of the Social Services Organization of the Tehran Municipality as saying. Farzad Hoshyar Parsian added that these problems have \u201ccomplicated\u201d the situation in the Iranian capital.<\/p>\n<p>One of the vice presidents in the cabinet of Hassan Rouhani said last month that women make up a third of homeless people living on the streets in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our research indicates that there are 15,000 people sleeping in cardboard boxes in the country, of who 5,000 are women,&#8221; Shahindokht Mollavardi said.<\/p>\n<p>The 20,000 figure provided by the Tehran Municipality of the number of homeless people in Tehran alone dwarfs the national figures provided by Mollavardi.<\/p>\n<p>The true number of Iranians living on the streets is substantially higher than official records.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, a deputy director of the Tehran municipality\u2019s Welfare Organization announced that the average age of homeless women in Iran\u2019s capital is 32.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Social Committee in Tehran\u2019s city council, Fatemeh Daneshvar, said in June that the number of pregnant women and children living on the streets in the city is increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Homeless women and street children live in dire conditions where they survive in abandoned buildings, containers, automobiles, parks, or even on the street itself.<\/p>\n<p>Street children experience many social and psychological traumas on the streets on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Determining the numbers of street children in Iran is virtually impossible. In a 2005 report by the U.S. State Department, by the Iranian government\u2019s own admission, 60,000 street children were accounted for in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous child rights organizations suspect that the number is substantially higher, citing figures of 200,000 or more. Of this number, about 55 percent are the children of Afghan refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian regime&#8217;s supreme leader Ali Khamenei and his family have amassed a huge fortune, amounting to billions of dollars, even as the people of Iran including a majority of the working class have been living in poverty and destitution.<\/p>\n<p>Much of Khamenei&#8217;s personal wealth is in the hands of his sons and daughters, large amounts of which are held in banks in the United Kingdom, Syria and Venezuela. <a
