Two-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The economic crises and the danger of sparking social upheavals have escalated tensions between Ebrahim Raisi’s government and a parliament, which was tightly vetted<\/a> by the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in 2020.<\/p>\n For decades within the Iranian regime, the power struggle among different factions has centered not on management styles but on preserving governance and averting overthrow. Reports from state media indicate that Sunday’s parliamentary session was characterized by tension.<\/p>\n Moeinoddin Saeedi, a member of parliament, said on April 28, “Mr. President, do you recall your remark that it’s a shame you didn’t take office to prevent the dollar from reaching 5,000 tomans? Instead of irrelevant economic statistics, consider the current 67,000-toman exchange rate and the crippling inflation affecting internet costs, meat prices, and medicine.”<\/p>\n Mohammad-Saleh Jokar, another member of the regime\u2019s parliament, also said, “Those of you in the government, where have you been for the past three years? How much have we demanded the bill, and why haven’t you provided it? Why didn’t previous governments provide the bill? And now you come here today and dare to discuss the bill from this podium?”<\/p>\n Watch and judge how #IranRevolution<\/a> has intensified internal strife in the #Iranian<\/a> regime pic.twitter.com\/arCJuckShF<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) December 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
