Currently, our country faces numerous imbalances, some of which have a long history, while others are more recent&#8230; In the realm of inflation, the reality is that Iran is among the five countries with the highest inflation rates&#8230; For example, the rate of infrastructure depletion has outpaced investment, and the rate of economic destruction has surpassed economic construction. This is very dangerous. Unfortunately, economic imbalances in Iran are increasing day by day, such as energy imbalances, water imbalances, budget imbalances, pension fund imbalances, banking imbalances, and capital account imbalances, among others. As long as we fail to address these imbalances, inflation will not be controlled&#8230; Resolving these imbalances requires fundamental reforms in Iran&#8217;s economy, and with the current economic governance in this state, addressing these imbalances will not be feasible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arson Attack on School in Germany&#8217;s Bochum: Trial Date Is Set<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-311443 size-medium\" title=\"radio bochum logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/radio-bochum-logo-300x134.jpg\" alt=\"radio bochum logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/radio-bochum-logo-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/radio-bochum-logo-150x67.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/radio-bochum-logo.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An arson attack on the Hildegardis School in Bochum ten months ago is said to have actually targeted the neighboring synagogue and was carried out on behalf of Iran.

On the one hand, the regime is dismissing \u201ccritical\u201d professors and replacing them with aligned elements, or as one academician put it, \u201cartificial injection of fake professors.\u201d On the other hand, Iranian authorities have engaged in the expulsion of many students from universities and filling the vacancies with regime loyalists.\u00a0In response to the wave of protests regarding the expulsion of certain critical professors, Mohammad Moghimi, the president of the University of Tehran denied any \u201cexpulsion\u201d of professors from the university and
