\"Raisi-Cabinet-Terrorists-1\"<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s new president, Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, announced the \u201ctwelve principles governing the national plan for preventing<\/a> and combating administrative and economic corruption.\u201d Having Raisi and his government combat corruption is like having an arsonist putting out the fire.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran is suffering from institutionalized corruption. The country\u2019s economy is dominated by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> and the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Raisi\u2019s cabinet is filled with the IRGC\u2019s officials and Khamenei\u2019s inner circles.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi himself was the caretaker of Astan-e Quds Razavi (AQR)<\/a>, one of the Middle East\u2019s largest endowment foundations.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our country, there are four institutions which control 60 percent of the national wealth. This includes Executive Headquarters of Imam\u2019s Directive (Setad\u00a0Ejraie\u00a0Farman Imam), Khatam-ol-Anbiay\u00a0Base, Astan-e Quds, and Foundation of the Oppressed and Disabled. None of these institutions are in connection with the government and parliament,\u201d Behzad\u00a0Nabavi, a government minister in several administrations, said in an interview with the state-run Alef news agency on September 21, 2019.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According<\/span><\/a>\u202fto the Iranian Resistance exclusive report about the AQR, this financial institution \u201cenjoys tax exemption; its assets include 50 large companies and 43 percent of Mashhad real estate, the second-most populous city in Iran. In other words, AQR owns over 13,000 acres of land in Mashhad alone.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, Raisi\u00a0was in charge of\u00a0one of Iran\u2019s main corrupted institutions. Raisi later became the regime\u2019s Judiciary Chief in 2019, another apparatus plagued with corruption. On May 11, Gholamhossein\u00a0Esmaili, then Judiciary\u2019s spokesperson, confirmed the arrest of 200 judiciary staff members.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe counter-intelligence units of the Judiciary identified 237 of the brokers and smugglers. The Judiciary\u2019s actions include the arrest of 161 judiciary attorneys and experts and more than 200 staff members from different departments of the Judiciary as well as several heads of offices,\u201d the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s state-run media mocked Raisi\u2019s claim of combatting corruption on Thursday.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSlogan, that we have heard for years about combatting corruption.\u201d The newspaper then questions Raisi\u2019s decision to combat corruption by asking: \u201cWhy did Mr. Raisi run for presidency to fight against corruption? To fight corruption, wasn\u2019t he able to act while serving as the Judiciary Chief?\u201d state-run\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily wrote on Thursday.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi is the head of the government that intends to combat corruption. Now let\u2019s look at other corrupted-official of this government.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raisi\u2019s first vice-president, Mohammad\u00a0Mokhber,<\/a> was the head of another huge financial institution, the \u201cExecution of Khomeini\u2019s Order (EIKO).\u201d He headed this plundering organization with billions of dollars of assets for 13 years since 2007. He also acted as the Deputy Director of Commerce and Transportation for the\u00a0Mostazafan\u00a0Foundation, another huge conglomerate.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mohammad-Mohhber\"

Mokhber\u00a0was included in the EU sanctions list in 2010 for his role in the regime\u2019s missile and nuclear activities and placed on the US sanctions list\u00a0t on\u00a0January 15, 2016, for seizing the assets of political opponents and religious minorities.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mokhber\u00a0was the head of the EIKO since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Iran. Khamenei banned the entry of credible Covid-19 vaccines and insisted on the production of\u00a0domestic vaccines. Barkat Pharmaceutical Group, which belonged to the EIKO and was under\u00a0Mokhber\u2019s\u00a0direction, was tasked with producing the vaccines. Besides having deadly side effects and not being approved by the World Health Organization, this vaccine was sold to people.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rostam\u00a0Ghasemi<\/a>, Raisi\u2019s construction minister, served as the commander of the Khatam-ol-Anbiya\u00a0Base and then Mahmoud Ahmadinejad\u2019s oil minister.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During his tenure as oil minister,\u00a0Ghasemi\u00a0oversaw astronomical financial irregularities, embezzlement, kickbacks, bribery, and other financial crimes, including the purchase of 30 oil rigs without \u201cprocurement tender formalities.\u201d He also authorized the purchase of another 25 oil rigs and oversaw the \u201cdisappearance\u201d of several oil rigs, one of which (Fortuna) cost $87 million and was eventually discovered in the Gulf of Mexico.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian Resistance revealed that \u201cKhatam-ol-Anbiya\u00a0is the largest contractor for government projects in an exclusive report. It has 5,000 subcontractors and about 135,000 employees. The cartel enjoys the complete support of the regime and has easy access to banking and financial resources and sustained contracts with no competitive bidding. It has created an operation whereby it totally dominates industrial and construction projects, as well as a portion of oil and gas deals, rendering the private sector unable to compete.\u201d\u00a0Ghasemi\u00a0was the commander of this base and was deeply involved in corruption and monopolizing Iran\u2019s economy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

A glance at Raisi and his government alone shuns any claim of combatting corruption. Iran\u2019s current economic crisis is due to the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption. Even if Raisi and his ministers were personally not involved in corruption, they wouldn\u2019t be able to combat corruption, as they are handpicked by the Supreme Leader of corruption, Ali Khamenei.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why\u00a0since he was appointed president, Raisi has only given hollow promises of combating corruption without offering a real solution. He often\u00a0uses\u00a0\u201cGod willing\u201d rhetoric when it comes to offering solutions for the economic crises. The regime has milked Iran and its people from their wealth. They do not accept these hollow promises, as they underline in their slogans during their daily protests that \u201cenough with lies, our tables are empty.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
