Iran\u2019s economy is suffering from mullahs\u2019 institutionalized corruption and wrong policies. While the mullahs\u2019 apologists blame sanctions for Iran\u2019s economic crisis, officials inside Iran try posturing that economy is flourishing. Yet, a glance at facts and figures rejects both claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Iran\u2019s political economy continues circulating in the same manner, and no cure is found for its pains, it will suffer a painful and fatal heart attack and goes into a long coma,\u201d wrote the state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily on April 6. \u201cIran\u2019s economic freefall<\/a> is on the horizon,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cEconomic and social crisis has driven the country to a dangerous point. If [authorities] do not act quickly to control and manage these crises. In that case, the country will enter an irreversible path,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat wrote, quoting one of the regime\u2019s economists, Mohsen Rannani.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the country\u2019s average inflation for 52 years is a little more than 18%, it means that its 52-year inflation rate is 546845%,\u201d said Abbas Akhundi, former Minister of Urban Development, on April 6. \u201cWhen the growth of the country\u2019s national investment for nine years is negative 6.8 percent, it means that this year\u2019s investment has decreased to fifty-two percent compared to ten years ago,\u201d he added, according to the state-run Eghtesadnews website. \u201cThe next year\u2019s inflation rate will be higher than 40% of the [previous year]. This means absolute poverty,\u201d Akhundi added.<\/p>\n

In other words, Iran\u2019s economy under the mullahs\u2019 regime has no solution. People pay the price of the regime\u2019s economic mismanagement and corruption.<\/p>\n
