Khamenei had started this plan in the 1990s, but the plan was realized in 2019.

Privatization in Iran is a new and modern form of plundering. According to official statistics, since 2002, thousands of Iranian factories and companies have been transferred from the public to the private sector But what is happening behind the curtains of privatization? The privatized factories and companies in Iran are worth &#36;88.3 billion. But such factories have been sold at a fraction of what they\u2019re really worth. These are just some examples showing how the corrupt Iranian regime plunder the Iranian people wealth: Ardabil Meat Industrial Complex Co. was usurped by an Iranian regime official under the pretext of privatization. According to Ardabil general prosecutor, the complex is worth over &#36;10 million. But the Iranian Privatization Organization sold the complex to the private sector for &#36;400,000. The buyer is the head of Iranian Privatization Organization Abdollah Poorhosseini! Basically, the seller and the buyer were the same person Haft Tapeh Sugarcane Agro-Industry Co. worths &#36;260 million was sold to a young regime-affiliated person for &#36;90 million. In Kermanshah province, 3 silos, worth &#36;15 million, were sold for less than &#36;4 million. Tabriz Machinery Manufacturing Factory, worth &#36;500 million, was sold for &#36;6 million. Heavy Equipment Production Company (HEPCO), Al-Mahdi Aluminum factory and dozens of heavy factories were handed over to regime affiliates. So privatization by the Iranian regime means euphemism for Iranian regime officials\u2019 plundering the wealth and assets of Iran.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a result of this process, many workers lost their jobs, and the so-called private owners have been delaying paying the workers&#8217; wages. Thus, there have numerous protests and strikes by deprived workers of HEPCO, Haft Tapeh, and other factories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iranian workers do not receive their wages for months, while their salaries are far below the 10 million tomans poverty line, making it hard for them to make ends meet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;The rampant rise in inflation and the unsettled economy once again shifted the poverty line. The poverty line for a family of four is 10 million tomans. The latest published statistics on the poverty line are related to May of this year, estimated at 9 million tomans. Considering the rampant growth of inflation, the skyrocketing prices over the past four months in various economic sectors, the poverty line has seemingly exceeded 10 million tomans. The 10 million toman poverty line indicates the difficult conditions of low-income families, especially workers. The difference between income and the poverty line is a repeated story.
