Unemployment rate is around 50% and creates serious problems while the country is continuing to move towards the cliff.
There is a serious foreign currency crisis in Iran right now. At the moment, neither the banks nor the official foreign exchange bureaus can serve the needs of the citizens. It is very hard to find dollars even in the black stocks. Many banks are bankrupt and the few remaining are still on the run with the continued support of the central bank. The state pays the salaries of most workers either partially or with a delay of several months. Many companies that work in the state can not get money from the government.
All of this has exposed the private sector to extreme pressure and many classes, including the service sector, are clogged.
During the past days, a nationwide strike in the transport sector was initiated and still continues. Trucks, buses and taxi drivers leave their work in many cities. This situation directly affects many areas, such as agriculture and farming, and causes troubles and damages.
The state is hesitant to respond violently to these strikes for the time being, but it does not have the power to meet their demands. Therefore, the problems are continuing to increase.
In the past days, the religious leader Hameneyi gave interview to pro-regime student representative. She unexpectedly criticized the regime and politics behind the stands and clearly stated that the country would collapse if the constitution was not fully implemented. She was not surprised that she could not get the answer, then she got the response from Twitter account. In his message, Hameneyi said that he understood the feelings of the students but did not accept their claims.
It has never been seen in the history of the regime that a government supporter has come up with criticism against religious leader. Moreover, this girl, directly accused institutions that are affiliated with religious leaders, of not responding to the public, and lying.
The point reached is that the pro-regime and the opposition in the country acknowledge and say that every situation is extremely critical and that if this continues, the end will come soon. Only a small group at the head of the regime, especially Hamaneyi, insists on escaping from reality and continue hold on to the current policy.
