What I would just say broadly, any country is welcome to play a positive role, but actions speak louder than words. And when it comes to the actions of the Iranian regime, the track record is pretty clear: they continue to be one of the largest exporters of terrorism; they continue to be a backer and funder of groups that have been focused on destabilizing and bringing violence to the region. So their actions are pretty clear here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 7:00 AM<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Teacher Sentenced to Forced Retirement for Taking Part in Protests<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-318852 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Zahra-Sayyad-Delshadpour-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Zahra-Sayyad-Delshadpour-Iran.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Zahra-Sayyad-Delshadpour-Iran-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian regime sentenced a teacher to forced retirement for her part in rallies demanding teachers\u2019 employment rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The board of appeals for the administrative violations of employees of Gilan\u2019s Department of Education in northern Iran, sentenced Zahra Sayyad Delshadpour, a high school teacher in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bandar-e_Anzali\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandar Anzali<\/a>, to compulsory retirement, among other things, for \u201cparticipating in rallies and sit-ins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the ruling that was issued in February 2024 and was newly confirmed, Mrs. Delshadpour was charged for \u201cparticipating in rallies and sit-ins, encouraging students to strike, and using chants that broke the norms\u201d based on \u201cfield investigation by security and administrative authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2024\/04\/29\/teacher-forced-retirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Economic Growth: A Reality Check<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-306191 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Iran-Economy-protests-696x435-1-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"Iran Economy protests 696x435 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Iran-Economy-protests-696x435-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Iran-Economy-protests-696x435-1-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Iran-Economy-protests-696x435-1.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:230\">Iran\u2019s average economic growth rate over the past two years has been 3.4%. However, unlike independent analysts, policymakers are projecting much higher figures, as high as 8%, for this year and beyond. This optimism is misplaced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:401\">Achieving such high growth requires significant groundwork. Unfortunately, Iran lacks the necessary infrastructure and economic stability. This unrealistic approach leads to bad policy decisions. Instead of focusing on long-term\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-inflation-rate-soars-to-highest-level-in-80-years\/\">sustainable growth<\/a>, officials resort to price controls, distribution schemes, and harmful tax increases. These measures will ultimately undermine the current modest growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:166\">The recent growth can be attributed to two temporary factors: the US waiver on oil sales and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Traditionally, social structures act as breeding grounds for hope, but the current system appears ill-equipped to fulfill this role. He argues that the dominant structures actively contribute to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/society\/the-plight-of-irans-kolbars\/\">sense of despair<\/a>.
