Iran has been going through its worst economic situation in the last century. The new administration of Ebrahim Raisi has been promising to resolve Iran\u2019s economic crises. The question is whether this government, handpicked by the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is able to solve Iran’s complex intertwined problems or not?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn issue that has very much worried people is the expansion of monopolies<\/a> within our country\u2019s economy which is evident in Raisi\u2019s government,\u201d the state-run Jahan-e Sanat wrote on October 19, hinting at increasing corruption.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIn other words, instead of making our economic environment more competitive, we are witnessing the rise of monopolies, which has greatly worried economic actors about their future,\u201d the daily added.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s economy has long been monopolized by Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards<\/a> (IRGC).\u00a0But,\u00a0Raisi\u2019s administration is full of IRGC commanders and Khamenei\u2019s inner circle men whose main task is to plunder Iran\u2019s national wealth and prolong the regime\u2019s life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Raisi nominated his cabinet, Mrs.\u00a0Maryam\u00a0 Rajavi<\/a>, the Iranian opposition\u2019s president-elect, described it as \u201cthe embodiment of four decades of the religious and terrorist dictatorship of the mullahs, whose mission is to counter popular uprisings, plunder national wealth and resources, step up terrorism and warmongering, and expand the unpatriotic nuclear and missiles projects.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The background of Raisi and his ministers<\/a> is a testament to the fact that as it comes to Iran\u2019s economy, the real task of these thugs is to plunder people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
