The factors that resulted in the rising dollar exchange rate show there has been a huge corruption of exports and the currency price,\u201d Soltani highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the regime officials\u2019 corruption, embezzlement, and plundering of national wealth to fund terrorism abroad and oppression inside Iran have expedited Iran\u2019s economic downfall. The regime\u2019s mismanagement and corruption have resulted in a massive inflation rate and liquidity.<\/p>\n<p>Liquidity in 1980 was 258 billion tomans, but now it has increased 2900 trillion tomans or 11,240 times more. This astronomical increase in liquidity has significantly increased inflation, and people have paid the price for it with their lives and empty tables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we want to compare the misery index in early 2012 with the year 2019, we can say that this index has increased by nearly 40% in 8 years,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sabzineh.org\/newspaper\/page\/1296\/2\/90463\/0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote<\/a> the state-run Sabzineh on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Rouhani\u2019s desperate attempts to blame the outside world, Iran\u2019s people consider the regime the only reason for all the economic hardships they endure.
