On January 30, the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, complained about the country\u2019s economic crunch, blaming government officials, directly or indirectly appointed by him, for the country\u2019s rising inflation rate.<\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s remarks stood in stark contrast with his previous claims of \u201ceconomic resilience,\u201d confirming that the regime\u2019s claim of self-reliance is a mirage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf government officials had cooperated more in the last few years, we could have achieved more glories,\u201d Khamenei claimed. But he quickly reversed himself by saying, \u201cOf course, the macroeconomic statistics of the 2010s are relatively unsatisfactory. The statistics and the rise in the GDP<\/a>, capital formation, inflation, liquidity growth, housing, machinery supply, and similar issues are not satisfactory. The impact on people’s livelihood about which we are constantly concerned is rooted in these issues and facts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the efforts by the regime\u2019s apologists to imply that Iran\u2019s wretched economic crises are due to sanctions, Khamenei acknowledged that \u201cthe main cause of these crises are not the sanctions. Wrongheaded decisions and failing to act play an important part in creating these problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state-run media acknowledged some facts about Iran\u2019s miserable financial situation and people\u2019s hardships. \u201cThe Central Bank released indicators of Iran’s economy in the second quarter of the year. The data presented in this report confirm the slowdown in economic growth in that period,\u201d the state-run Jahan-e Sanat on January 13.<\/p>\n

According to Jahan-e Sanat, \u201cA comparison of the liquidity rate in recent years indicates that the total volume of liquidity has grown by 166 percent from 2018 to the end of September this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main reason is that the government has always resorted to the central bank to compensate for its budget deficit<\/a>. According to statistics, the government debt to the central bank had steady growth throughout last year, reaching 50.8% at the end of 2021,\u201d the paper added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the Central Bank has not announced inflation statistics since 2019, according to the Center for Inflation Statistics, it still hovers above 40%.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s unemployment rate is also soaring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unemployment rate is 9.6 percent in the second quarter of 2021. It has increased by 0.8 percent since the spring,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the total unemployment rate and inflation this summer, the misery index is 55.4%, an increase of 9.3% and 6.3% compared to last winter and this spring, respectively,\u201d Jahan-e Sanat acknowledged.<\/p>\n

In other words, millions of Iranians cannot have a decent life and are under the poverty line.<\/a><\/p>\n

While people can hardly earn a living, the regime affiliates and relatives enjoy lavish lives. News and photos of luxurious houses and expensive cars of regime officials circulate online, simultaneous with heart-wrenching videos of Iranian child laborers scavenging garbage cans for food.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbezzlements, corruption, astronomical salaries [of officials], and the construction of luxury towers send their message to society. [Officials\u2019] putting their luxurious lives<\/a> on display, the humiliation of the poor, and indirect or direct of their superiority over others is scarring people\u2019s souls,\u201d wrote the state-run Etemad daily on February 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cClass gap is raging in the country. A wealthy class in the highest welfare conditions has such an aristocratic life that they can be compared to Aristotle Onassis and the Rockefeller family. The poor live in challenging situations like first Muslims did (1,400 years ago)\u201d wrote the state-run Jomhuri Eslami daily on February 2.<\/p>\n

Khamenei wastes the national resources and wealth on terrorism and domestic oppression. While squandering people\u2019s assets to preserve his regime, he sheds crocodile tears for Iran\u2019s worsening economic indicators.<\/p>\n

Besides, the regime has not taken any serious economic measures to address people\u2019s needs. In fact, at the behest of Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s government intends to dispense with the official exchange rate allocated for importing essential goods at a lower price. Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government first introduced the official exchange rate of 42,000 rials to a dollar to import essential goods at a lower price. The private sector, i.e., private companies of the Revolutionary Guards<\/a> (IRGC), was tasked with importing these goods. As a result, regime officials embezzled billions of dollars while selling essential items at a higher price. Yet, removing this rate will cause the costs to skyrocket.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s parliament rejected Raisi\u2019s plan for removing the official exchange rate in his budget plan, fearing a popular backlash. But, apparently, Raisi and his government will not back down from reaching deeper into people\u2019s pockets.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s current economic crises, caused by the regime\u2019s ineptitude, corruption, and mismanagement, have turned the society into a powder keg. Daily protests by people from all walks of life attest to this explosiveness. The recent nationwide protest by teachers, pledging to \u201cContinue protests to achieve\u201d their rights, is quite telling.<\/p>\n

Facing a restive society, Khamenei, who is himself responsible for this disastrous situation, speaks of economic crisis as part of his smoke and mirrors policy to divert people\u2019s attention from the real source of corruption, namely, the ruling kleptocracy he heads. Yet, people\u2019s slogans against the entire regime indicate that Khamenei has failed and other uprisings loom, as the state-run media and officials continue to warn about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cry of the army of unemployed, bankrupted factories, frustrated social security, and collapsing banks, is loud and clear,\u201d the state-run Mostaghel daily wrote on January 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen corruption is institutionalized, serious social upheavals are inevitable,\u201d Mostaghel wrote, quoting Mohammad Askari, one of the regime\u2019s MPs.<\/p>\n
