Iran’s state-run media have been acknowledging\u00a0<\/span>that Iran’s social and economic crises result from the mullahs’ mismanagement, and these crises have turned the society into a powder keg on the verge of explosion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"eghtesadpooya\"In an\u00a0<\/span>interview<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with the state-run\u00a0<\/span>Eghtesad-e Pooya daily on Tuesday, Mohammad Reza\u00a0Mahboubfar, one of the regime’s sociologists, underlined the “very rapid spread of poverty” in Iran.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, official statistics show that the poverty line in large cities\u00a0<\/span>is estimated to be at 10 million tomans, which means that poverty has spread in Iran. Poverty pervades society due to rising living costs, lack of proper business, and ultimately unemployment. Which causes many social phenomena,”\u00a0Mahboubfar\u00a0told\u00a0Eghtesad-e Pooya.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of these phenomena is the rising number of families selling their girls<\/span>\u00a0or using them in labor. “One of the ways to earn a living these days [for families] is through using their girls, which has increased. It shows that the middle class of society has unfortunately fallen into the underprivileged class, which means that 80% of people either live in poverty or under the poverty line,”\u00a0Mahboubfar\u00a0added.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, citizen-journalists have captur<\/span>ed and published some heartbreaking scenes of the rampant poverty in Iran, which exposes the lies of the regime’s apologists that Iranians under the mullahs’ regime are not suffering. Instead of helping poor people, the regime arrests those capturing those moments.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Instead of blaming the people who publish the videos and photos, we should solve the problems fundamentally<\/span>,”\u00a0Mahboubfar\u00a0said in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He then warned the regime’s officials of “security issues,” a term the regime’s insiders and officials use\u00a0<\/span>to describe people’s uprisings.\u00a0 “The authorities should try to gain the people’s satisfaction because if the people are not satisfied, there will be no progress or security in the country,” he said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the November 2019 Iran protests<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>which rattled the regime’s foundation, different officials and state-run media warn each other of another uprising and try to blame one another for the uprising.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The November uprising started following the regime’s decision to raise the gasoline price.\u00a0<\/span>On Tuesday, the state-run Vatan-e\u00a0<\/span>Emrooz<\/span>\u00a0quoted Ali Shamkhani, Secretary of the regime’s Supreme National Security Council, saying, “The November incidents formed a security crisis” for the regime he blamed the government for it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This decision [to raise the fuel price]\u00a0<\/span>could have been chosen better, not resulting in political, security, social and\u00a0<\/span>economic<\/span>\u00a0prices,” Vatan-e\u00a0<\/span>Emrooz<\/span>\u00a0quoted Shamkhani as saying.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the major Iran protests in November\u00a0<\/a><\/span>2019 and the regime’s heavy crackdown, which resulted in 1500 martyrs, the regime’s sham parliamentary elections met a national boycott.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
