\"Iran<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0appeared on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>state television\u00a0<\/span>on March 5, on the national arbor day,<\/span> shedding crocodile tears for Iran people\u2019s economic and social grievances. Yet, he refused to offer a solution for people\u2019s economic hardships. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0<\/span>referred<\/span><\/a> to a number of issues and crises, such as the coronavirus outbreak<\/span>. Most importantly he tried to minimize the economic crisis, which is due to his regime\u2019s corruption and mismanagement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, people\u2019s livelihood is not good these days\u2014this an enormous grief for us. There are very much high prices on the [Persian] New Year\u2019s Eve, such\u00a0<\/span>as\u00a0<\/span>[prices of] fruit,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0He then admitted to \u201cdealers\u201d who profit from the high prices, which are nonother than the regime\u2019s affiliates who control Iran\u2019s different economic aspects.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Khamenei tried to hide the truth about people\u2019s unbridled poverty and cover<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>up his role and one of his Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> in plundering people\u2019s wealth and destroying Iran\u2019s economy. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
