In a striking admission amid factional infighting, pro-government economist Farshad Mohammadpour said that Bank Iran Zamin has been \u201clegally bankrupt for years,\u201d but authorities have avoided a formal declaration. He cited 14,222 billion tomans in accumulated net losses, hemorrhaging roughly 2,370 billion tomans per month\u2014about 76 billion per day and over 3 billion per hour\u2014with depositors bearing the risk. \u201cPeople think their deposits are earning profit,\u201d he said, \u201cbut in reality their assets are evaporating.\u201d The revelation is a window into a banking system hollowed out by political lending, opacity and impunity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3407\" data-end=\"4726\">On November 8, 2025, a <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.net\/%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B2-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%88-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%87-%DA%A9%D8%AC%D8%A7-%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%9F\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detailed review of Iran\u2019s<\/a> pharmaceutical market rebutted officials who blame shortages and price spikes on sanctions. It noted that medicines are not sanctioned and cited a 2019 WHO statement to that effect; the real drivers are domestic: sustained high inflation, removal of ultra-preferential rates (from 4,200 to 28,500 tomans and beyond), rising state arrears to producers and insurers, and distorting subsidies that invite leakage and smuggling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3407\" data-end=\"4726\">The numbers are stark: $2.3 billion of drug imports in 2023\/24; \u20ac11 billion mandated in the 2025\/26 budget specifically for medicines, inputs and consumables (down from \u20ac13.6 billion the previous year); and a cut in drug import tariffs to 1%. Consumption is rising\u201428 billion doses distributed in the first half of 2025\/26\u2014while production sagged; enforcement reported a smuggling case on November 1, 2025, and sector experts estimate ~$450 million in outbound drug smuggling, including subsidized and special-disease items. The Supreme Audit Court also flagged \u201csedimentation\u201d of health funds, with 20 trillion tomans of a $1 billion allocation diverted to university budgets rather than financing the drug supply chain. The pattern is classic: rents first, patients last.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>\u2019s Imploding Economy Exposes a Regime Beyond Preservation<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7N3OT7UFT2\">https:\/\/t.co\/7N3OT7UFT2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1979211132091990409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4728\" data-end=\"4773\">Record capital flight, falling oil revenue<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4775\" data-end=\"5670\">The central bank\u2019s latest quarterly shows an all-time record net capital outflow of nearly $9 billion in spring 2025, according to a November 9 analysis. Total capital flight in 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/farsnews.ir\/N_bourbouri\/1760082619810900187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reached about $20.7 billion<\/a>. Over 2018\u20132024, roughly $80 billion left the country; a chunk rides on trade channels dominated by state and quasi-state entities, including the IRGC\u2019s economic arms. The same report notes a $3 billion year-on-year fall in oil-and-gas export revenue in spring 2025 (to $15 billion), a $1 billion drop in non-oil exports (to &lt; $11 billion), and a services deficit of $2.8 billion\u2014all while the economy still managed a $6 billion trade surplus that was effectively erased by the $9 billion capital outflow. Policymakers, meanwhile, publicly admit they are \u201chaggling over $1 billion\u201d for investment, a confession of shrinking fiscal room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5708\" data-end=\"6447\">Meanwhile, officials tout a 7.4% unemployment rate in summer 2025, but employment actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamshahrionline.ir\/news\/984690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fell by 171,000<\/a>, labor-force participation slipped, youth joblessness stayed near 19%, and 40.3% of the unemployed hold university degrees, many stuck in unrelated, low-pay service jobs. Underemployment sits at 7.6%. In housing, the state oscillates between 500,000 and 2.8 million \u201cempty homes,\u201d an incoherence that neuters taxation policy. Even in power cuts, uptake of the \u201cBargh-e Man\u201d app is spun as digital success when in reality people install it to track rolling blackouts.

Food at 64%, bread up, fuel hikes and FX unification pending, a bank effectively insolvent, drug rents and record capital flight form a feedback loop of pain and distrust. The two-language strategy is on display: promises of \u201creform\u201d and external scapegoats for public consumption; quiet, coercive measures\u2014price lifts, rationing, financial repression\u2014for implementation. Officials know that sudden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019\/\">shocks can detonate<\/a>. That is why the government now telegraphs austerity while denying its political character. The risk is clear: another price shock that collides with empty wallets and empty promises can translate economic crisis into a stability crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7231\" data-end=\"7498\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The conclusion writes itself from the regime\u2019s own data and declarations.
