#Iran’s impoverished Nowruz irannewswire.org/irans-impoveri…

The Persian New Year, is a time of celebration, when #Iranians go out to buy new shoes and clothes. They also buy everything from nuts to sweets & fruits for their Haft-sin tables and guests. They do some serious spring cleaning and prepare their homes for visiting family members

However, this Nowruz is very different from previous ones. Poverty, unemployment and severe economic hardships have gripped the more than 80 million population leaving around 80% under the line of poverty.

In Nowruz 2018, the price of the dollar was 3,500 tomans, exported tea was between 30,000 to 40,000 tomans per kilo. The price of red meat was 40,000 tomans per kilo while sugar was just 2,800 tomans per kilo.

Jahangiri, the regime’s First Vice President, said that they the state had overcome economic pressures.
Officials of the Islamic Republic consider the fact that workers & impoverished Iranians were able to survive this year as an astonishing & miraculous success on their part.

However, Iranians blame only the regime for their economic woes which is evident from protests going on every day in #Iran.

ISNA news agency reported that the regime had signed an agreement with Syria to build 200,000 homes in Damascus.
This among other news from Iran’s financial aid to neighboring countries with the intent of building a base for its terrorist activities,angers many Iranians.

#Iranians will start the new Persian year in a quagmire of economic & social woes, the result of 40 years of the Islamic Republic’s rule which has been marred with systematic corruption and mismanagement.
