Most Iranian Families Can’t Afford Education, Newspaper Admits<\/h3>\n

\"iran-expensive-stationary-inflation-min\"<\/p>\n

High inflation and deepening economic crises have led to a large number of students dropping out of school, and the excitement of starting the school year has turned into sadness for many. The current trend has even left state media unable to hide the facts.<\/p>\n

The state-run Jahan-e-Sanat newspaper wrote: “In general, two million tomans are needed for students’ stationery. Simple math shows a 100 percent increase in the price of stationery. Which families can afford such a high cost?”<\/p>\n

Jahan-e-Sanat further explained: “The basic salary of a worker is 2,650 thousand tomans. Teachers get paid 3 million tomans (per month). How can nurses, part-time employees, seasonal workers and other groups whose wheel of life is hardly spinning, afford such prices?! These days, 7 deciles of the Iranian society are exposed to malnutrition and the people’s table have shrunk 37% compared to the last year. In circumstances, paying 2 million tomans for stationery is unaffordable for many families.”<\/p>\n

The newspaper continued: “Some people… cannot afford meat and buy chicken and mutton bones. All the statistics and surveys show that if the skyrocketing inflation is not controlled along with unemployment, Iranians will be seriously malnourished in the coming years.”<\/p>\n

Referring to the huge Covid-19 death toll in Iran and acknowledging the horrific consequences of the regime’s failure to vaccinate the population, state-run Arman newspaper, wrote: “Who is to blame for these problems and the suspension of vaccinations in the last six or seven months? This wasn’t just an administrative or even financial negligence that could have been compensated. As a result, thousands of compatriots lost their lives, and tens of thousands mourned. This isn’t about a factional thing. Do we have to blame the former Minister of Health? Was the former president to blame? Has anyone sabotaged this? Did some people want this (vaccinations) to happen during the next president?”<\/p>\n

Armen warned: “This is a national case with so many victims. There have been historical courts around the world for murder with lesser accounts. You have to respond to the people.”<\/p>\n

Iranian Regime Robs The People to Compensate Its Deficit, Economist States<\/h3>\n

\"iran-hossein-raghfar-economist\"<\/p>\n

According to Hossein Raghfar, a state-linked economist, since the government wanted to reimburse this year’s deficit, considering the lack of oil revenues and the stalemate in negotiations to revive the nuclear deal (JPOAC), many resources have been paid to private enterprises, so that only the net profit of 20 large enterprises in the last year amounted to 250,000 billion tomans, equivalent to the government deficit.<\/p>\n

Today, state-run economic newspaper Donyaye Eghtesad quoted Hossein Raghfar as stressing: “The government continues to increase the prices of currency and energy such as gasoline to compensate for the budget deficit and therefore it’s taking money from the pockets of the people.”<\/p>\n
