\"Fatemeh-Maghsoudlu-brother-arrested\"<\/h2>\n

Recently, a video circulated online of an Iranian MP, Fatemeh Maghsoudlu, making a scene while authorities try to arrest her brother on corruption charges. Although the tip of an iceberg, this scandal once again shows the grim face of corruption in the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n

From its military to parliament and its officials, one could hardly find an institution or individual free of corruption. In other words, it is safe to say that Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy is corrupted to the core, and the ongoing revelation of embezzlement cases are testament to this fact.<\/p>\n

Reports from Iran indicate that Hamidreza Maghsoudi, Fatemeh Maghsoudi\u2019s brother, has been sentenced to five years in prison on embezzlement charges. The arrest of Maghsoudi\u2019s brother was mocked by Iranians on social media, saying, \u201cWhat happened to her anti-corruption claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maghsoodi, from Brojourd in western Iran, is a member of the so-called \u201crevolutionary\u201d parliament. These MPs were handpicked by the regime\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei in 2020 in a bid to close ranks in the fractured regime. They took office while making a lot of fanfare about \u201ccombating corruption\u201d and \u201chelping people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Iranians did not take this rhetoric seriously, as they overwhelmingly boycotted the sham parliamentary elections in February 2020.<\/p>\n

But Maghsoudi\u2019s case is not the first nor the last.<\/p>\n

Hossain Mousavi, brother of Abolfazl Mousavi, ex-MP from Yazd, received 90 trillion rials of bribe in 2019. The MP himself was later arrested amid the regime\u2019s infighting for receiving a 650 trillion rials bribe from Tehran\u2019s municipality. It is worth noting that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the current Parliament speaker, was Tehran\u2019s mayor at that time.<\/p>\n

While the regime\u2019s judiciary made a lot of fuss about arresting Mousavi, calling it an important measure \u201cin combatting corruption,\u201d they refused to say why they did not approach the head of the snake, Ghalibaf.<\/p>\n

The recent trip of Ghalibaf\u2019s<\/a> family to Turkey to buy an expensive cargo of baby stuff caused a lot of stir even among the regime officials and state media.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan the families of state officials afford luxury?\u201d the state-run\u00a0Javan Online wrote<\/a>\u00a0on April 20. \u201cMaybe they can, but for a person whose election campaign was merely focused on a rebellion against the 4% of capitalists, his wife and daughter cannot be the passengers on such a flight. If someone claims to be the pioneer and uses revolutionary slogans, he cannot buy the requirements of his unborn grandchild from markets in Istanbul.\u201d<\/p>\n

People soon took on social media in Iran, mocking the regime\u2019s fighting \u201cimperialism\u201d and ordering people to refrain from consuming<\/a>\u00a0foreign products and prioritizing domestic production.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s rhetoric of having a simple life in Iran and buying domestic products reminds Marie Antoinette\u2019s famous saying before the revolution. When told that her French subjects had no bread, Marie-Antoinette sniffed, \u201cQu’ils mangent de la brioche\u201d\u2014 \u201cLet them eat cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Ghalibaf\u2019s wife, Zahra Sadat Moshir, used the Imam Reza Charity to embezzle billions of dollars, using the opportunities provided by his husband, then mayor of Tehran.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan the families of state officials afford luxury?\u201d the state-run Javan Online wrote on April 20. \u201cMaybe they can, but for a person whose election campaign was merely focused on rebelling against the 4% capitalists, his wife and daughter cannot be the passengers on such a flight. If someone claims to be the pioneer and uses revolutionary slogans, he cannot buy the requirements of his unborn grandchild from shopping malls in Istanbul.\u201d<\/p>\n

But corruption is not limited to the regime\u2019s MPs. Iran\u2019s kleptocracy<\/a>, its endemic nepotism, and countless high-profile embezzlement cases exceed one\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n

The state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily\u00a0mocked\u00a0the regime\u2019s nepotism in an article on January 17, saying,\u00a0 \u201cThey come in buses and occupy high positions, and the only thing that does not matter is merit. One cannot find criteria such as related education and degrees, background, and experience. Instead, we are just told about their positions and managerial titles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corruption is institutionalized in Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy. Regime officials and their relatives enjoy luxurious lives, and their unborn babies receive expensive gifts. Meanwhile, many Iranians presell their infants to earn a meager living, or many mothers sell their hair to buy books and pens for their children. Iranian boys and girls should do street peddling or collect trash. The heart-wrenching video of a little boy that does not even know the meaning of \u201cdream\u201d scars the conscience of any human being.<\/p>\n

Regardless of which faction they belong to, the regime’s officials remain deeply embroiled in various domestic corruption scandals, and the facts mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. Providing any concessions to Tehran or showering it with money cannot and will not revitalize Iran\u2019s economy and help people. The root o Iran\u2019s economic crunch lies in the regime\u2019s corruption and its squandering of the nation\u2019s resources on domestic suppression and external terrorism. The ongoing protests in Iran by people from all walks of life against the regime and its corrupt leaders demonstrate people\u2019s genuine concern. As they have chanted during their protests, \u201cOne less embezzlement, and our problems will be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
