renting rooftops<\/a>, slum-dwellers, women living in holes and canals, and now people sleeping in public transportation buses(BRT).<\/p>\n\u201cSleeping on BRTs is their only choice, and a seat on the bus is their cheap castle in the capital. But this cheap house costs them between 3.5 to 7.5 million rials (20-30 USD) per month. They are employed, but their menial jobs prevent them from renting a room,\u201d wrote the state-run Tejarat news on December 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s 23:45 [local time], and the temperature is three degrees Celsius. They come to the bus station one by one: old, young, and even children. Tehran BRT hosts them every night. One takes refuge on the bus at midnight and the other at 1:00 am. Their timing depends on the cold weather,\u201d Tejarat News adds.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking a long journey is a smart choice for those sleeping on buses. Therefore, two bus lines are their houses: Azadi Square to Tehranpars and Tajrish to Rah-Ahan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people are not drug addicts. One of the passengers has neat clothes, and the other is wearing nice pants. They don\u2019t want to talk. They only want to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
A bus driver tells Tejarat News reporter, \u201cThey work during the day across the city and sleep here at night.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, they can\u2019t have sweet dreams or a cozy night. Every 45 minutes, they must get off the bus.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to force them to get off the bus. But my boss told me that if I keep even one person at the end of the line, he will fire me,\u201d the driver says.
\nThese passengers pay between 15,000 to 24,000 rials (7-10 USD) every night. \u201c[This is] the cheapest fare for a brief stay at a warm shelter, in long and cold winter nights,\u201d Tejarat News described.<\/p>\n
\u201cReports indicate that 60 to 70% of the income of urban households is spent on housing. Expensive housing has driven many to the outskirts of the city in the some can\u2019t even afford a place in slums,\u201d Tejarat News adds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ismail Hosseinzehi, deputy chairman of the parliament\u2019s civil commission, said, \u201cWhen we read that in that last year alone, the number of people living in absolute poverty has increased to 30 million, we realize the horrible dimension of increasing poverty in Iran,\u201d the state-run Etemad daily wrote on December 26, referring to Iran\u2019s increasing poverty. The staggering number counts for over 35 percent of country\u2019s 84 million habitants.<\/p>\n
This dire situation, coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic, high housing prices, worsened by the regime\u2019s ineptitude, mismanagement, and corruption, has resulted in the emergence of various social tragedies in recent years.<\/p>\n
In a 2020 interview with the state-run\u202fEtemadonline\u202fwebsite,\u202fMohammad Reza\u202fMahboubfar, an Iranian sociologist,\u202fsaid: \u201cSome women heads of households have no shelter\u202fand\u202fare forced to live in ruins, destroyed buildings,\u202fshantytowns, tents, underground holes, and canals. Female slum-dwellers\u202fdo\u202fnot have\u202fappropriate housing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPreviously, the number of slum-dwellers was said to be around 25 million, but today it has risen to 38 million. We can surely say that slum dwellers in Tehran have increased by 60%.,\u201d he added.
\nIn addition, reports in 2020 indicated that many people sleep on rooftops as they cannot afford to rent a house or even a room.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s announced poverty line is around 120 million rials. Thus, many Iranians fall under the poverty line due to their low salaries. Iranian teachers receive nearly 60 million rials, and workers\u2019 salary base is around 25 million rials (91 USD). As such, they can hardly make ends meet, let alone have proper shelter.
\nPoverty is not a crime. But the ones causing it are certainly criminals. The criminal mullahs\u2019 regime should be blamed for the extreme poverty, like any other problems in the country.<\/p>\n
People sell their body parts, women and girls sell their hair, and others sleep on buses while the country sits on an ocean of oil and gas.<\/p>\n
Contrary to the narrative parroted by the pro-engagement crowd, sanctions are not the reason behind the current crises in Iran. The regime\u2019s policies are to blame. The mullahs squander billions of dollars on their clandestine nuclear and missile program and on funding their terrorist proxy groups.<\/p>\n
In its 2022-2023 budget plan, the government of Ebrahim Raisi has increased the budget of terrorist entities like the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and ignored the plight of Iranians. The IRGC\u2019s budget has increased by 58% while the salary of ordinary Iranian employees has increased by only 10 percent, still keeping them below the poverty line.<\/p>\n
Even if one were to assume that that sanctions are the real cause of Iran\u2019s economic woes, the regime could immediately end them by stopping its malign activities such as terrorism and human rights violations. But it is it either willing nor capable of doing so because the survival of Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy depends on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
