Iran Faces a Growing Internal Crisis

  By Chuck Wald We have passed the six-month mark of the war between the United States and the Iranian regime. Whatever Tehran’s rhetoric may suggest, its theocratic dictatorship is weaker today than at any point since its establishment in the aftermath of the 1979 Revolution. As this situation continues to unfold, it is increasingly important for Western governments and the broader international community to consider the policies needed to help bring about change driven not by foreign intervention, but by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.  The country’s economy, already suffering from years of decline before the war, is now exhibiting some of its worst indicators in decades, including inflation exceeding 100 percent on key consumer goods. Predictably, these pressures have intensified factional infighting within the regime. The turmoil has been compounded by the loss of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war, February 28.  Khamenei has be...

Does Iran Metro company provide the employees with social insurance premiums?

-


IRAN, 27 July 2017--The head of the Transport and Traffic Committee of Tehran City Council says that the Metro Motor Operations Company deducts the employees' premium fees from their salary payment cheques but does not deposit it into the insurer's accounts.
According to state-run ILNA news agency, on Sunday July 23, 2017, Mohsen Sarkhou said: “The social security premium of the Metro operations company has not been paid since the beginning of June, and this has made difficulties for the staff's medical insurance booklet being accepted by the medical centers.
He added: “This is while these amounts are constantly and monthly deducted from their accounts. Workers' insurance premium is not paid in the past years which has caused various issues for employees who are on the verge of retirement.”
“Subsidiary premium is not paid to the staff of Metro Operations Company, although under the insurance premiums, the company has reduced personnel salaries, but has not deposited in due time to the accounts of insurer companies,” Sarkhou added
 I guess any huge city has this problems and Tehran with 14 Million people is no exception. Some of the pix are so funny

The regime's agent admitted that the lack of calculation of the hard work of Tehran's subway staff has caused difficulties for the employees in the process of retirement. He said: “Changing the job titles of a number of employees on the pretext of changing the organizational chart has led to difficulties in the records of some people who have already been in this difficult and harmful work.”
He added that the lack of charge of the welfare card of Parsian employees since 2006 and the non-payment of debt to the Tehran Municipality reserve while deductions are made monthly from the company employees' legal fees are also other issues that cause problems for the staff of the Metro Operation Company.

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...

Intensifying U.S. Economic Pressure: Washington’s New Move Against the Mullahs’ Regime and Its Consequences

  By Reza Hoseani Is Washington’s economic fury more effective than military warfare? An examination of the United States’ new sanctions targeting the IRGC’s financial lifelines and their impact on Iran’s explosive social environment. Amid the regime’s paralyzing deadlock between war and restraint, Washington has made its choice unmistakably clear: an all-out economic war instead of a large-scale military war. This choice is not the product of moderation. Rather, it reflects an understanding that economic pressure may be more lethal to the regime, less costly for the West, and more socially acceptable to the Iranian people than military intervention. 1. From “Maximum Pressure” to “Economic Fury”: The IRGC’s Lifelines in the Crosshairs In recent months, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has escalated economic pressure through two new initiatives. First came what has been described as Operation Economic Fury, announced by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stated explicitly ...
