According to state media, the National Land and Housing Organization, which operates under the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, currently holds 1.8 million hectares of land in urban areas\u2014equivalent to land sufficient to build nearly 30 cities the size of Tehran. Despite this vast inventory, many Iranians face an almost unattainable dream of homeownership due to skyrocketing housing prices and stagnant wages.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe National Land and Housing Organization holds double the total area of residential land in the entire country,\u201d admitted Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the regime\u2019s Parliament, during a recent event. Ghalibaf, known as one of Iran\u2019s most corrupt officials and a top figure in state land deals while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aftabnews.ir\/fa\/news\/664521\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">serving as Tehran\u2019s mayor<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, made this statement not out of empathy for the people\u2019s struggles but seemingly out of fear of mounting public outrage. Despite Ghalibaf\u2019s remarks, officials often deflect blame for the housing crisis, claiming a \u201cshortage of land\u201d impedes housing development.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Current statistics highlight the scale of the crisis: average housing prices in Tehran have surged to over 120 million tomans per square meter, making it exceedingly difficult for the average family to afford even the most modest home. The Ministry of Roads and Urban Development\u2019s monopoly over large tracts of land has pushed housing costs beyond the reach of most Iranians, who spend a disproportionate portion of their income on housing expenses. Recent data from Iran\u2019s Central Bank showed that the share of <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/society\/the-burden-of-housing-costs-on-iranian-households-a-growing-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing costs in household<\/a> expenses now exceeds 55% in Tehran Province alone, while global standards suggest it should be no more than 30%.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kazem Sedighi, A Khamenei Ally, Exposed to Have Grabbed Billions Worth of Land in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>&#39;s Capital<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CmbzjfHMsP\">https:\/\/t.co\/CmbzjfHMsP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cze9r5g7rI\">pic.twitter.com\/cze9r5g7rI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1769806455828349035?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The inflationary pressure on Iran\u2019s real estate market reflects a pattern of restrictive land policies and limited housing production. Between 2013 and 2016, building permits in urban areas dropped to levels not seen since the early 2000s, deepening the gap between supply and demand. In the past decade alone, Iran\u2019s housing market has experienced twelve major price spikes, with rental rates tripling since the start of the decade. This has forced many families into financial hardship, leading to a significant migration toward <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/20-million-iranians-live-in-dark-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suburban and remote areas<\/a>.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The government\u2019s focus on \u201cproductive assets plans\u201d to sell surplus land and properties has sparked significant debate. In January, Hossein Raghfar, a state-affiliated economist, warned that Iran\u2019s privatization efforts have mostly benefited insiders rather than the public, suggesting that the new plan would \u201cauction off public wealth for the benefit of a few.\u201d The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which already dominates Iran\u2019s economy, stands to gain further from these privatization efforts, raising concerns over transparency and public benefit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The recently leaked documents expose the Iranian regime&#39;s favoritism towards the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IRGCterrorists?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IRGCterrorists<\/a> under President Raisi&#39;s administration.

According to estimates, releasing even a small fraction of the Ministry\u2019s urban land holdings could make a meaningful impact on housing availability. However, expectations for reform remain virtually non-existent under a regime that has consistently prioritized its own interests over those of the public.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/world\/special-report-khamenei-controls-vast-financial-empire-built-on-property-seizur-idUSBRE9AA0CU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vast monopoly on land<\/a>, rather than signaling any hope for resolution, is fueling growing public outrage. Far from implementing policies to address the housing crisis, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development continues to expand its grip on urban land, driving up prices and adding to the flames of frustration. Many Iranians are now calling for accountability as the regime\u2019s wealth-hoarding practices intensify economic pressures on households struggling to afford basic living expenses.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Iran&rsquo;s housing crisis worsens, new reports reveal staggering figures behind government land ownership and the soaring costs of real estate.
