The Iranian regime once again is among the world record holders, this time in the field of inflation and high prices.
In its most recent report, the International Monetary Fund announced inflation in Iran in 2011 has reached 22.5%. Based on these numbers among the 161 developing countries, the Iranian regime is third in inflation. This means only Belarus with 41% and Venezuela with 25.8% have a higher inflation rating than the Iranian regime. Even Sudan, Guinea, Yemen, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone have a better status than the mullahs’ regime.
Despite increasing profits from oil production, the IMF report placed the Iranian regime as the 110th country in economic growth.
Despite the fact that the IMF’s numbers are based on the mullahs’ fabricated numbers and the Iranian regime’s economic growth is actually negative, this in itself shows a small portion of the dreadful economic conditions in Iran under the mullahs’ rule.The large strike staged by hundreds of petrochemical complex workers in Port Mahshahr (southern Iran, east of Bushehr) continues. This strike began on Sunday, September 25th.
The workers of the Mahshahr Special Economic Region Petrochemical complexes joined the other workers who were already on strike, demanding direct agreements signed with the company and for contract companies to be eliminated from the complex.
The workers of the Port Mahshahr Petrochemical Complex had already staged a strike in April of this year which lasted 11 days. However, to prevent their strike from spreading any further, the Iranian regime’s elements at that time promised to meet the workers’ demands at first notice. Nonetheless, after more than 5 months such promises have yet to be fulfilled.
