While there are many speculations as to why this economic crisis is deepening daily, the regime\u2019s corruption is considered the main creator of this situation. The state-controlled mafia controls the country\u2019s imports and exports. One of these mafias is the gold mafia.<br \/>\n\u201cIf we do not follow the mafia, they devastate us,\u201d the state-run Jahan-e Sanat wrote on September 11, quoting Iran\u2019s gold sellers.<br \/>\n\u201cJewelry activists say anyone who works in the field is aware of the presence of an invisible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/editorial\/editorial-continued-sanctions-against-irans-regime-is-a-national-demand\/\">mafia<\/a> network, but few can expose it because if they do, they should quit the business,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat adds.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Chairman of the Cooperative Board of the Jewelry Guild stated: \u2018Unfortunately, the well-known groups have formed triangles in the Jewelry Guild that are in harmony with each other, and if an activist in this field does not coordinate with them or does not act according to their system, they hinder their work,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat states.<br \/>\nAccording to Jahan-e Sanat, \u201cFor every 10 tons of gold that enters the country, 15 tons are exported, while the benefits and wages of making gold should go to Iranian manufacturers, but in this area, the country\u2019s wealth is lost.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cDubai has the most profitable market for jewelry and gold in the world and is known as the \u2018city of gold.\u2019 The gold trade is the most profitable export in Dubai after oil. Meanwhile, Iran, which has significant reserves of gold, and the gold industry is a long-standing art among its people, has now become an importer of gold from other countries,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat writes.<br \/>\nIran was one of the world\u2019s largest gold exporters. The organized mafia, connected to the Revolutionary Guards (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\">IRGC<\/a>), has practically stopped gold export and is importing gold on a large scale. But why?<br \/>\n\u201cThe huge profit of [gold] imports have led to smuggling and embezzlement. This has led to the closure of about two thousand jewelry factories in the country. The wealth and power that is in the hands of the [gold and jewelry] mafia has paved many obstacles for [corruption] and even prevented the gold sellers from speaking out,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat wrote in this regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Due to the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption, Iran\u2019s economy is on freefall. The country\u2019s GDP is very low. To compensate for its budget deficit, the regime started rampant banknote printing, and since it is much more than the production rate, it has caused inflation.<br \/>\nPlus, due to the regime\u2019s malign activities that have resulted in comprehensive sanctions, Iran\u2019s currency has the lowest value globally. Inflation and declining Rial\u2019s value have meant rising gold prices. Investors buy large quantities of gold when the country is experiencing high levels of inflation.<br \/>\nSo, the IRGC and other regime institutions which need money to pursue their evil deeds have been importing large quantities of gold.<br \/>\n\u201cThe value of a country\u2019s currency is strongly related to the value of its imports and exports. When a country imports more than it exports, the value of its currency will decline. So, exporting gold has a positive impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-protests\/imf-irans-officials-reserve-less-than-8-8-billion-consequences-for-irans-people-economy-and-regime\/\">Iran\u2019s currency value<\/a>. But the regime declines to export gold, and instead, it largely imports them.<br \/>\nA country\u2019s demand for gold to meet the needs of government, consumers, investors, and industry can only be determined by offsetting gold imports by exporting gold.<br \/>\nHow IRGC-linked Gold Mafi Affects People\u2019s Lives?<br \/>\n\u201cThe silent embezzlement of gold results in the unemployment of thousands of workers and their families. In the last one or two years, 1,800 workshops in this field have been closed, and no one has been held accountable,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat wrote.<br \/>\n\u201cImproper import of gold has caused many activists and producers in Iran to change their use, and as a result, many workers became unemployed. At the same time, no one monitors the gold market, which has led to the closure of domestic gold workshops and the intensification of mafias\u2019 activities,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat adds.<br \/>\nConclusion<br \/>\nLike other Iran\u2019s national resources, the gold and the jewelry industry are dominated by the IRGC. Iranians suffer from economic pressures, while the regime has the means to support them or boost Iran\u2019s economy. Yet, the regime\u2019s priority has been pursuing its malign activities. The state-controlled mafia is controlling people\u2019s lives. As long as the regime stays in power, these mafias continue devouring Iran\u2019s national wealth and ruing Iranians\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran is going through its worst economic period under the mullahs&rsquo; regime.
