Experts within the regime are grappling with various strategies to address the existential challenges it faces, with a consensus emerging that the regime is currently in a state of decline.\u00a0The prevailing assessment among governance experts highlights the accelerated erosion of the regime\u2019s social support base, mainly attributed to \u2018excessive centralization\u2019 over the past four decades and the absence of viable \u2018top-down reforms.\u2019 It is widely agreed that the window for \u2018bottom-up reforms\u2019 has closed, leaving the Supreme Leader,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\"

In its report titled \u201cAnalysis of Housing Policies in Five-Year Development Plans,\u201d the center emphasizes that repeated leaps in housing prices in the late 2010s have doubled the number of households that are unable to purchase a home in comparison to the beginning of the decade. According to the Research Center, four decades of housing planning by different administrations have not been desirable for low-income groups, particularly in major cities, where the decisions have been inefficient and disadvantageous.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/economy\/49862-majlis-researchs-center-60-of-irans-population-has-lost-access-to-housing\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amsterdam, The Netherlands\u2014August 12, 2023: MEK Supporters Held a Rally and Exhibition, Commemorating the 1988 Massacre Martyrs<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Amsterdam&mdash;August 12, 2023: MEK supporters held a rally, commemorating the 1988 massacre martyrs.\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_kVZ3UNEebeg\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FkVZ3UNEebeg%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kVZ3UNEebeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M33S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-08-14T20:37:45Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_kVZ3UNEebeg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FkVZ3UNEebeg%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Amsterdam\u2014August 12, 2023: MEK supporters held a rally, commemorating the 1988 massacre martyrs.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kVZ3UNEebeg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FkVZ3UNEebeg%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Amsterdam&mdash;August 12, 2023: MEK supporters held a rally, commemorating the 1988 massacre martyrs.\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Amsterdam, The Netherlands\u2014August 12, 2023: MEK supporters held a rally and exhibition in Dam Square, commemorating the 1988 massacre martyrs.
