Iran Regime’s Top Lawmaker
Calls Regime’s Double Standards “Root of Misery” in Iran
Ahead of the Iranian regime’s sham presidential elections, factional feuding has increased. The regime’s wrong policies, corruption, and oppression have turned the society into a powder keg. Thus, rival factions try to blame one another.
In this regard, Mojtaba Zolnouri, Chairman of the Security Commission in the regime’s parliament, lashed the rival faction on Thursday.
“The officials’ double standards [in treating people] and their lack of motivation about the [regime’s] ideals have caused misery in the country,” Zoulnouri said on Thursday, according to the state-run Tasnim Newsagency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.

How the Iranian regime is failing the economy
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared in his speech to mark the New Persian Year that domestic production had been ramped up over the past year, but has this helped the Iranian people?
Abbas Davari, Chair of the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s Labor Commission, said no. His reasoning is that the goods that saw a boom in production, i.e., car tires, aluminum, petrochemicals, steel and pharmaceuticals, are those that are controlled by the massive financial empire of Khamenei and his Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
