A member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee says 95 percent of lawmakers regret having called on Ebrahim Raisi to run for President in 2021.

Characterizing the Raisi administration as “a generally weak government,” Shahryar Heidari told Khabar Online website on Wednesday, April 26 that the lawmakers who advocated Raisi’s candidacy in the presidential election wish to apologize to the Majles (parliament) and the nation for their decision.

Heidari particularly criticized the government's economic team and characterized it as “inefficient.” He said: “During the past days, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told the Majles once again that the country's number one priority is solving economic problems.”
Saedi said that the people have many complaints about their economic and financial problems adding that they are disturbed and angry. He said: “Once we used to say that the people are unhappy about the 30-percent annual inflation rate, but now inflation rises between 10 to 30 percent during one month and this has robbed Iranian families of their power to plan for their lives.”

Is Iran's government behind the mysterious poisonings of schoolgirls? | DW News

Families in Iran are accusing the authorities of failing to stop a months-long series of poison attacks on schoolgirls. More than 13,000 cases of gas poisoning have been registered. Amnesty International says the attacks have targeted 300 girls’ schools. Some government critics believe the poisonings are retaliation for last autumn's nationwide anti-regime demonstrations. But it's not clear who is responsible. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayotollah Ali Khamenei has described the poisonings as an ‘unforgivable crime’.

Yes, a group within the regime, a group that is untouchable.
