Some consider them as a piece of heaven on earth. A mother endures pain for nine months to have her baby, considering it the love of her life. But news from Iran indicates that poverty and hunger caused by the ruling corrupt regime are forcing some mothers to abandon their newborn babies on the street as they cannot afford to feed, raise, and keep them healthy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Hundreds of heart-wrenching videos circulated on social media recently, showing newborn infants abandoned on the streets in plastic bags in dozen Iranian cities. These babies were later transferred to local hospitals, but little is known about their fate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On May 28, 2022, Iran\u2019s state media reported that over<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rouydad24.ir\/fa\/news\/308086\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> 5,000 newborn babies<\/a> were found across Iran in less than ten days. This tragedy happened as the Iranian regime approved and has been promoting the so-called \u201cYouth Population Plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"iran-babies-found2\" class=\"size-full wp-image-260087 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found2.jpg\" alt=\"iran-babies-found2\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found2-150x96.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cThe plan has not facilitated youth marriage and falls short of improving the quality of life of the people because the authorities must create welfare for the people to encourage marriage and childbearing. There are no real incentives for childbearing, and people who try to have children in the hope of these incentives remain at the expense of their child&#8217;s birth and upbringing. At the end of the day, they attempt abortion or abandon their babies on the street,\u201d Mohammad Reza Mahboubfar, an Iranian pathologist was quoted as saying by the state-run Roydad-e 24 website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mahboubfar underlines that authorities have caused the abortion rate to multiply by approving this plan. And instead of providing a safe environment for abortion, they prosecute those mothers who intend to do this legally. Thus, many Iranian women try to have an abortion illegally, increasing health risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many believe that Ernest Hemingway\u2019s famous saying \u201cFor sale: baby shoes, never worn\u201d is the shortest yet saddest story. But many advertisements on walls across Iran of parents selling their unborn babies deeply hurt any human being. The walls across the country are ashamed of thousands of ads of people selling their unborn child or their body parts due to the country\u2019s mal ruling and corrupt regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In December 2021, Iran\u2019s state media acknowledged some facts about this tragedy that showed the grim face of poverty in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOver the past six months, we have seen an increase in infant sales across the country,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tabnak.ir\/fa\/news\/1094091\/%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4-%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4-%D9%86%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D9%82%D8%A8%D9%84-%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%84%D8%AF\">the state-run Tabnak website quoted<\/a> Habibollah Massoudi, Deputy of Social Affairs of Welfare Organization, on December 18, 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Massoudi acknowledged many Iranian women presell their unborn babies for as low as 1,000,000 rials, or $3!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"iran-babies-found3\" class=\"size-full wp-image-260088 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found3.jpg\" alt=\"iran-babies-found3\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found3.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-babies-found3-150x191.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/>\u201cSix months ago, a short advertisement in Tehran struck me like lightning: \u2018We are selling our unborn boy.\u2019 I called the number and reached a young couple who had auctioned their 5-month-old fetus,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamejamonline.ir\/fa\/news\/659374\/%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4-%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4-%D9%86%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D9%85%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%84%D8%AF-%D9%86%D8%B4%D8%AF%D9%87-%D9%81%D9%82%D8%B7-5-%D9%85%DB%8C%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86\">state-run Jam-e Jam website acknowledged<\/a> in a tragic story in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to this report, the parents were finally able to sell their priceless baby for 50,000,000 rials, or around $152. \u201cWe had high hopes to build a nice family, but we couldn\u2019t. We tried every job but to no avail. We did not want to ruin our son\u2019s life,\u201d the parents told Jam-e Jam reporter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In April 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/how-much-is-a-baby-worth\/\">pictures posted<\/a> on social media showed Zahra Moshir, the wife of the Iranian regime\u2019s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, and two other companions returning from Turkey, identified as his daughter, Maryam Qalibaf, and her husband, Mohammad Reza Bahiraei.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They arrived in Tehran from Istanbul with 19 pieces of luggage, including a hefty and expensive cargo of baby stuff for their unborn baby. This news caused a lot of stir in society, with online users calling it \u201cbaby stuff-gate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This was the last, not least, case of news about relatives of regime officials enjoying lavish lives. Pictures of children of Iran\u2019s top authorities driving luxurious cars or wearing expensive clothes and jewelry circulate online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Due to the regime\u2019s corruption, ineptitude, and mismanagement, Iranians grapple with a severe financial calamity. Inflation hovers above 40%, millions are unemployed, children search for food in trash cans, women turn to prostitution to make a living, and some sell their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/selling-body-parts-a-tragedy-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">body parts<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/how-much-is-a-baby-worth\/\" rel=\"noopener\">unborn babies<\/a> to \u201cstay alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">No one is enjoying life in Iran under the mullahs\u2019 regime, where authorities encourage people to live in austerity while plundering national wealth and squandering it on terrorism or funding their own relatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The ongoing protests across the country by people from all walks of life show another aspect of Iranian poor but brave people. Protesters loudly and clearly point to the root of their problems when they chant slogans about regime officials. And this is what frightens the regime most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOfficials should leave their luxurious lives, then invite people to economic austerity. We cannot stop prices from increasing by issuing orders. Inflation doesn\u2019t buy these words and keeps on rising. The ruling system bears all responsibility for people\u2019s current situation,\u201d the state-run Mostaghel daily wrote in this regard on June 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newborn infants bring joy to the family.
