Why Iran’s Regime Invests So Much in Demonizing the PMOI
On Tuesday, November 14, a briefing session was held by a group of members of the House of Representatives in the United States Congress. The subject of this session was the demonization campaign against the Iranian Resistance, including its history, dimensions, and objectives. During this session, the book Iran: The Ayatollah’s Hidden Hand, written by Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan, was introduced. This book explores the regime’s covert activities aimed at striking at its main opposition. At the beginning of the session, Tom McClintock, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, in response to the reason behind such a volume of demonization against the Iranian Resistance, stated: “It’s important that we understand how the Iranian dictatorship has been able to manipulate the media, how it has insinuated itself into academia, and how it has ingratiated itself with governments that frankly ought to know better.
Soaring Education Costs Cause Mass Dropouts in Iran
The combination of poverty and soaring education costs has led some parents in Iran to make the difficult decision of withdrawing their children from school. Instead of pursuing education, these children are often compelled to either work to contribute to the family income or embark on learning a trade.
Conversely, parents who prioritize their child’s education face a substantial financial burden. The expenses associated with school services, providing meals, purchasing clothing, buying school supplies, bags, and shoes, along with financial contributions demanded by public schools, have contributed to the rising number of students discontinuing their education.
