NCRI –\u00a0As protest rallies continue to spread across Iran, state officials and media warn over regime\u2019s dark future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe country is faced with a lot of super-challenges\u201d, acknowledges Eshaq Jahangiri, first vice-president of Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government, for the nth time, adding\u201dwe have challenges in different economic, social, cultural and political areas, both domestically and internationally. Restoring social assets is a crucial issue for us. But unfortunately, dialogue has been taken off the agenda and replaced by conflict instead, which is going to apply a heavy pressure on the society.\u201d (State-run Khabaronline website, February 26, 2018)<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mohammad Maljoo, an economist close to Rouhani, points to a \u201chuge volume of interactions raised by people\u2019s daily lives\u201d as the driving force and underlying layer of recent protests, which by no means could be harnessed. \u201cAnd if the political system is not going to reconsider its policies, we\u2019ll definitely experience even bigger avalanches\u201d, he adds. (State-run Iran newspaper, February 26, 2018)<\/p>\n
Regime\u2019s Former Science Minister \u2018Mostafa Moein\u2019 points to dominating presence of Iranian youth in the country\u2019s recent uprising and daily protests, saying \u201cour country is faced with the issue of disappointment. Social harms are an iceberg only the tip of which is visible. We are a country of fault lines. But more than natural fault lines, we are faced with social and generational ones within our society. And the main reason for the country\u2019s non-development is rooted in these same corruptions, distrusts and discriminations.\u201d (State-run Jamaran website, February 26, 2018)<\/p>\n
Ahmad Bigdeli, regime\u2019s MP, recommends officials to \u201ctake into account the realities across the society while seeking the roots of recent unrests, since the economic and livelihood problems have lowered people\u2019s tolerance level.\u201d (State-run Parliament\u2019s news agency, February 26, 2018)<\/p>\n
Also in this regard, Saeid Zibakalam, a university lecturer close to Khamenei, expresses his concerns over regime\u2019s future leadership after Khamenei\u2019s death while describing how he feels about the recent uprising as well as the current and future status of the regime. \u201cI wish I was shot right in the head, so I didn\u2019t experience these days\u201d, he says while crying.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s obvious that the current situation reflects the ruling regime\u2019s absolute deadlock, somehow pointing to the fact that what the regime is harvesting today is exactly the result of what it has planted over the past 40 years.<\/p>\n
Since the entire regime is responsible for the current conditions, so it\u2019s quite natural that no workaround could come out from within the regime, which itself is the source of all the pain and suffering of Iranian people. So, any suggestion, viewpoint or workaround put forward by regime officials basically serves to secure the interests of predatory bands within the regime while, quite expectedly, disregarding people and their interests.<\/p>\n
This is a reality that Iranian people have fully grasped and reflected in their recent uprising when they loudly cried for the elimination of the entire corrupt and anti-people ruling regime as the only genuine solution. A fact that\u2019s been realized by regime leaders as well, as their panic for regime\u2019s dark future reflects how they fear the society\u2019s huge explosive capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
