However, recent revelations by Abdolnaser Hemmati, the former economy minister, have peeled back the curtain on the systemic corruption and factional infighting that define the regime\u2019s inner workings. Hemmati\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khabaronline.ir\/news\/2074068\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explosive interview<\/a> on June 5, 2025, with state television exposed how members of Iran\u2019s parliament aggressively lobbied for control over key economic appointments, demanding bank CEOs and board members be appointed to serve their personal interests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His refusal to name specific culprits, citing \u201cregime interests,\u201d only underscores the delicate balancing act within Tehran\u2019s elite, where loyalty to the system often trumps accountability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hemmati\u2019s candid admissions paint a grim picture of a regime rotten with corruption. \u201cThey all wanted something,\u201d he said, describing how parliamentarians pressured him to appoint their allies to lucrative positions in banks and free economic zones. When he resisted or replaced managers, he faced backlash from the same lawmakers now accusing him of slander. His reluctance to \u201cspeak against the Central Bank\u201d or name individuals in parliament reflects the unspoken code of silence that protects the regime\u2019s insiders, even as they vie for power and wealth behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> Regime Infighting Deepens After Removal of Zarif and Hemmati<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h1ukZ1hRx9\">https:\/\/t.co\/h1ukZ1hRx9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1897634468782829614?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2025<\/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;\">The reaction from parliament was swift and defensive. Abbas Goudarzi, a prominent member, dismissed Hemati\u2019s claims as an attack on the legislature\u2019s \u201csupervisory role,\u201d accusing him of manipulating public opinion. On June 8, <a href=\"https:\/\/donya-e-eqtesad.com\/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D8%B3%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86-62\/4186486-%D9%88%D8%A7%DA%A9%D9%86%D8%B4-%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%81-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A8%D8%AA-%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D9%87%D9%85%D8%AA%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%B3-%D8%AA%D9%87%D9%85%D8%AA-%D8%B2%D8%AF%D9%87-%D8%B4%D8%AF-%D8%AD%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%BE%DB%8C%DA%AF%DB%8C%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D9%85%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D9%86%DB%8C%D9%85\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goudarzi demanded<\/a> that Hemati either provide names or issue a public apology, framing his allegations as an affront to the parliament\u2019s \u201csanctity.\u201d Other lawmakers, like Farhad Bishiri and Salman Eshaqi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khabaronline.ir\/news\/2075185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">echoed this sentiment<\/a>, with Eshaqi going further, branding Hemati a delusional and incompetent figure responsible for Iran\u2019s economic woes. Their outrage, however, does little to refute the substance of Hemati\u2019s claims, instead highlighting the regime\u2019s intolerance for dissent, even from its own ranks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This scandal comes at a time of transition for Iran\u2019s economic leadership. Three months after Hemati\u2019s impeachment, President Masoud Pezeshkian nominated Ali Madanizadeh as the new economy minister, a move <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isna.ir\/news\/1404031710654\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced by the state-run ISNA<\/a> news agency. Yet, the appointment has done little to quell the unrest. The parliament, still reeling from Hemati\u2019s accusations, remains a battleground for competing factions, each seeking to secure influence over the regime\u2019s economic levers. The timing of Hemati\u2019s revelations, just as a new minister is introduced, suggests a calculated effort to expose the rot within the system, even if he stops short of naming names.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Leaked Documents Expose <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> MPs\u2019 Lucrative Salaries Amidst <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Economic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Economic<\/a> Hardship<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5g9znjbBTk\">https:\/\/t.co\/5g9znjbBTk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1758533540914819097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 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;\">The broader implications of this dispute are stark. Iran\u2019s economy, already battered by sanctions, mismanagement, and inflation, is further undermined by the very officials tasked with its stewardship. The parliament\u2019s demands for control over bank appointments and free zones reveal a system where personal enrichment and political loyalty take precedence over governance. Hemati\u2019s decision to speak out, however cautiously, signals growing frustration among even high-ranking officials, who see the regime\u2019s internal contradictions as unsustainable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the war of words continues, the Iranian regime\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/senior-iranian-clerics-express-fear-over-regimes-fragile-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fa\u00e7ade of unity crumbles<\/a>. Hemati\u2019s revelations, coupled with the parliament\u2019s indignant response, expose a ruling elite consumed by greed and infighting. For ordinary Iranians, who bear the brunt of economic hardship, these disputes offer little hope of reform. Instead, they confirm what many have long suspected: the regime\u2019s officials are more concerned with plundering the nation\u2019s wealth than addressing its crises. With no resolution in sight, the power struggles within Tehran\u2019s corridors of power are set to intensify, further destabilizing an already fragile system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hemati affair is more than a personal vendetta; it is a window into the dysfunction at the heart of Iran\u2019s regime. As factions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iranian-regime-infighting\/irans-regime-infighting-escalates-as-rival-factions-clash-over-power-corruption-and-policy-failures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clash over power<\/a> and privilege, the structural corruption Hemati described remains unchecked, hidden behind the rhetoric of \u201cregime interests.\u201d For now, the parliament\u2019s calls for apologies and investigations may drown out the truth, but the cracks in the system are impossible to ignore. Iran\u2019s rulers, entangled in their own disputes, risk undermining the very regime they claim to preserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three-minute read The Iranian regime, long shrouded in secrecy and authoritarian control, is no stranger to internal power struggles.
