Yet, state-run media and officials point to the regime\u2019s corruption and mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cRising dollar prices and artificially keeping the dollar exchange rate high is a reality accepted by all elements of society. Therefore, we must accept the bitter fact that the main culprits of economic costs and challenges and shrinking people&#8217;s livelihoods are [the regime&#8217;s] domestic policies,\u201d wrote the state-run Jahane- Sanat on February 27.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On February 26, Mahmoud Vaezi, chief of staff of the regime\u2019s president Hassan Rouhani, explicitly said: \u201cWe increased the dollar exchange rate to control Iran\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cEconomically, the exchange rate in Iran is not 25 or 27 thousand tomans per dollar, and we did this so that we could manage the country&#8217;s economy. So that today the enemies say that \u2018maximum pressure\u2019 has failed, and they are looking for a solution, and today Iran is in a position of power,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In other words, the regime deliberately increased the dollar exchange rate to compensate for its budget deficit and paying astronomical wages to its officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">By increasing the dollar exchange rate, the inflation rate and the prices, particularly of the imported goods, rise. There have been numerous protests by all walks of life in Iran, mainly retirees, underlining in the slogans that \u201cour expenses are in dollars, but our wages are in rials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime&#8217;s Statistics Center announced on Thursday that the inflation rate of imported goods in the autumn of this year compared to the autumn of last year was more than 588% and the annual inflation rate of these goods was more than 412%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"How the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC plunders Iran&rsquo;s economy\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_dHjy6OWnrvo\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FdHjy6OWnrvo%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dHjy6OWnrvo\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M45S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-09-10T16:00:16Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_dHjy6OWnrvo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FdHjy6OWnrvo%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">How the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC plunders Iran\u2019s economy<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dHjy6OWnrvo\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FdHjy6OWnrvo%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"How the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC plunders Iran&rsquo;s economy\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"September 2020\u2014How the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps plunders Iran\u2019s economy The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) was established in the early 1980s From day one, the IRGC has been engaged in the suppression of regime dissidents The IRGC was also one of the regime\u2019s main forces in the Iran-Iraq War, as part of the regime\u2019s \u201cQuds through Karbala\u201d campaign Following the war, having no pretext to keep the IRGC active, the regime permitted the Corps\u2019 entry into Iran\u2019s economy The IRGC\u2019s \u201cKhatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters\u201d became involved in Iran\u2019s construction industry In six years, Khatam-al Anbiya earned a whopping &#36;2 billion through its holdings Khatam-al Anbiya bought Iran\u2019s &#36;45-billion state communications company at less than &#36;8 billion Khatam-al Anbiya received billions in government loans for its factories.

Last year, point-to-point inflation was 498.2%, which is an increase of 90.6% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Due to the high prices and the rising inflation rate, people are unable to make ends meet and purchase necessary food items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cInflation has now reached a point where some people cannot afford to buy a whole loaf of bread and leave their national identity card as a security deposit to get a loaf of bread. In such a situation, chicken and eggs are considered a luxury item,\u201d wrote the state-run Resalat daily on March 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe point-to-point inflation rate of foodstuffs has increased by about 7% compared to last month and has reached 66.8%,\u201d wrote the stat-run Kar-o- Kargar daily on February 21.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Despite these statistics which show Iran\u2019s deplorable economic conditions, the regime continues its malign activities, such as spreading terrorism across the region, and continuing its race for obtaining a nuclear bomb, which costs millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yet, on Wednesday, Rouhani shamelessly claimed that both nuclear centrifuges and the economy are running well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cRouhani yesterday claimed that the economy is running. Yet, economic statistics say something else, indicating the economy is running backward. People are going through the most difficult living conditions after the revolution. People are buying meat in installments, there is a phenomenon of buying chicken legs, the shortage of edible oil are some examples [of the economic crisis]. The point-to-point inflation rate is more than 50%, there is a 550 percent growth in housing prices, we witness an unprecedented and record-breaking dollar exchange rate and an average of zero percent economic growth. These are just a few examples of the government&#8217;s record in the economy,\u201d wrote the state-run Vatan-e Emrooz on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime\u2019s economic mismanagement, couple with its oppression, has increased the society\u2019s restiveness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cExisting studies show that there is no such level of agreement among the Iranian people on any issue other than agreeing on the country&#8217;s poor economic situation and other similar matters,\u201d wrote the state-run Keyhan daily on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">[Protests] are \u201ca time bomb under the skin of society.
