Iran\u2019s economic situation continues to deteriorate daily. Iran\u2019s state-run media\u2019s engineered reports also show the depth of this crisis. They also acknowledge the regime\u2019s new president Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, and his administration would not resolve these economic hardships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIranians\u2019 purchasing power has fallen sharply, and they are struggling to buy even the basic necessities of life, as the consumption of important food items such as meat, eggs, and dairy products on the Iranian table has dropped dramatically by as much as 50 percent,\u201d wrote the state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily on October 2.
\n\u201cIn other words, over the past year, the consumption of imported food items among Iranians has decreased by 40 to 50 percent, and this shows that Iranians are generally poorer, and their food table is emptier,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat adds.<\/p>\n

According to the state-run Kar-o Kargar daily on October 3, \u201cThe skyrocketing prices and the rising inflation rate have increased people\u2019s living costs from 40 million tomans per year in 2018 to more than 63 million tomans in 2021.\u201d
\nIn other words, Iranians can hardly make their ends meet despite living in one of the richest countries in terms of natural resources.
\nAccording to the state-run Hamdeli daily on October 2, \u201cThe Iranian people\u2019s food security is in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Statistics Center has announced the inflation for September at %45.8 percent. Thus, food prices are more than 60%. In 2018, one-seventh of the population was unable to provide the calories they needed, and now reports indicate that per capita consumption of meat, rice, and dairy products in Iran is declining,\u201d Hamdeli wrote, adding, \u201cThe price of the food basket has almost quadrupled compared to 2016. A comparison of red meat prices over the past decade shows that this commodity has become about 12 times more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the figures mentioned above show how severe Iran\u2019s economic crisis is, the state-run Setareh Sobh daily on October 3 acknowledged: \u201cIn Iran, only government centers such as the Central Bank and the Statistics Center announce the inflation rate. However, the inflation rate announced by government centers has been questioned by the private sector, cooperatives, and the public. The government [hesitates] in announcing its real inflation rate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state-run Mardom Salari daily on October 2 asked in its article that \u201cWhy are our urgent economic problems not solved and even our situation is getting worse?\u201d
\nIt then acknowledges that the regime\u2019s \u201cdomestic and foreign policy does not serve to solve economic problems. If we say that the economy has priority, all political power, both domestically and internationally, must serve the economy, while this is not the case.\u201d
\nIran\u2019s economy suffers from the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption and wrong economic policies.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that with this rotten style of managing and adopting daily laws restricting or destroying small businesses, not only will there be no improvement in the country, but also the country will only move backward. As a result, we would witness more human and economic capital leaving the country,\u201d wrote the state-run Ebtekar daily on October 3 in this regard.<\/p>\n

One could argue that international sanctions on Tehran are also hurting Iran\u2019s economic situation. International sanction does exacerbate this situation, but they could be lifted if the regime stops using Iran\u2019s national wealth to fund terrorism or continue its completely unnecessary nuclear project.
\nWhile underlining that \u201cMost of our economic problems have internal roots, and even sanctions are not the main cause of these problems,\u201d the state-run Eghtesad-e Pouya daily on Monday acknowledges that sanctions are the result of the regime\u2019s malign activities and could be stopped immediately if the regime stops its illicit activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the sanctions are imposed due to the [regime\u2019s] ideology, and naturally standing up for the ideology will incur costs, but our discussion is not about why and how the sanctions are imposed. The question is that why do we refuse to take safe paths against sanctions and impose a lot of economic costs on the country?\u201d Eghtesad-e Pouya adds.
\nThe truth is that the regime cannot take any of these \u201csafe paths,\u201d such as adopting the Financial Action Task Force (FATF<\/a>) Convention. Funding terrorism and oppressing people inside Iran are two pillars of the regime\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that while some officials and state media call for adopting the FATF Conventions, the regime cannot do that. These conventions prevent the regime from funding all terrorist entities, including the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) and its Quds Force, which are both considered terrorist organizations. The IRGC dominates Iran\u2019s economy and acts as the regimes\u2019 financial and military artery. Besides, the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption would go under scrutiny once it adopts the anti-money laundry mechanism presented by the FATF.<\/p>\n

Now it is much clearer to understand why Raisi would not resolve Iran\u2019s economic problems. His government consists of top IRGC generals and corrupted officials close to the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who controls Iran\u2019s wealth through the IRGC and his own financial empires.
\nRostam Ghasemi, Raisi\u2019s Minister of Urban and Roads Development, was involved in Iran\u2019s highest corruption case in recent years.<\/p>\n

Ghasemi has worked as commander of the IRGC\u2019s Khatam-ol Anbiya Headquarters, Iran\u2019s largest construction conglomerate. Raisi was the former caretaker of Astan-e Quds Razavi<\/a> (AQR), his Vice President Mohammad Mokhber was the former head of the Execution of Imam Khomeini\u2019s Order (EIKO<\/a>). Both the AQR and EIKO are vast financial institutions controlling and plundering Iran\u2019s wealth.
\nThis is just the tip of the iceberg. The Iranian regime in its entirety is the real cause of Iran\u2019s economic problems. Thus, as the state-run media acknowledged, the current situation continues as long as the regime is in power.<\/p>\n
