A member of Iran's parliament's National Security and Foreign Affairs Committee said the current “weak government” is the result of the presence of “corrupt and deviant groups.”
Morteza Mahmoudwand, a member of parliament from Khorram Abad, said: informed reporter Most of Iran's problems stem from this corrupt faction within the government. He promised to prove this claim to the public with documents and evidence.
“Despite the current parliament's efforts to support the government, certain deviant elements within Raisi's government have obstructed constructive policies and resulted in a weak government,” he stressed. He reiterated his remarks as an experienced political and security expert.
Mahmoudwand accused the deviant group of having ties to foreign entities, but declined to reveal the identities of these individuals or the foreign countries involved. He claimed that these infiltrators had infiltrated the government and were responsible for the failures of Raisi's government.
He disclosed that he had reported these infiltrators to President Ebrahim Raisi multiple times, but observed that the Iranian president took no action. Mahmoudwand said that when Raisi formed the government, he lacked a cohesive team and allowed foreign-backed infiltrators to join his government, potentially posing a serious crisis for the country. He added that there is.
Similarly, Former lawmaker Gholam Ali Jafarzadeh Imanabadi told reporters. On Monday, people with no administrative experience, such as Economy Minister Ehsan Canduzi, were suddenly promoted to cabinet positions. He expressed his regret, saying, “I wish Mr. Raisi had not become president of Iran.''
Mr. Imanabadi lamented the loss of the European market due to the incompetence of ministers and officials. He criticized Congress, citing its members' lack of understanding of the country's realities and economic ignorance.
“There is not a single economist in the new Congress,” he said. He criticized the proliferation of populist radicals in the current parliament.
Iranian hardliners loyal to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have banned hundreds of candidates from running in the March 1 parliamentary elections, and a relatively small number of ultra-conservatives have been forced to vote amid low turnout. This paved the way for them to win many seats.
Mr Imanabadi said: “We are not satisfied with the government's failure. It is unfortunate that as a result of the government's incompetence, the exchange rate of the US dollar is now more than 600,000 rials. Meanwhile, we have lost the European market. ” he said. “The government is showing more interest in trading with regional countries. The trade balance for the first nine months of the Iranian year (late March to late December 2023) was negative.”
“We have lost so many military personnel in Syria, but we control only 4% of the country's market,” he said, adding that more than 70% of the Syrian market belongs to Turkey. He added: At the same time, the International Monetary Fund acknowledged a sharp decline in the value of Iran's currency. This is the result of assigning big jobs to radical populists who don't understand reality.
Imanabadi pointed to the weakness of parliament, saying that only 7% of the bills currently passed by parliament are related to the country's economic situation.
Former Revolutionary Guards Hatamoranbia Headquarters Commander Said Mohammad emphasized in a recent interview: One of the reasons for the economic failure of Raisi's government is the lack of coordination among the members of his economic team. “Why doesn't the government ask itself why its economic slogans are not coming true?” he asked.
He questioned the regime's failure to fulfill its economic promises, despite Khamenei's repeated emphasis on expanding production.
