Biden’s Iran policies should reflect the rising cost of living there

2020 has been an economically disastrous year for the Iranian people, perhaps the worst since the Mullahs took over in 1979. Even before 2020, Iran ranked as one of the most miserable countries in the world.

An International Monetary Fund report said Iran's 2019 economic growth was negative 9.5 and the final numbers for 2020 are expected to be even worse. If he were smart, Biden would capitalize on this, benefitting both America and the Iranian people. By August 2020, Iranians were plagued by anger,

anxiety, helplessness, depression, insecurity both for themselves and their children. Unsurprisingly Suicide steadily increases in Iran, at a rate of more than 5% annually. In the first eight months of 2020 alone, suicides increased by more than 4% over the same period the previous year. At least 15 Iranians take their lives daily. People’s economic circumstances are grim. The Labor Council has set the 2021 Iranian minimum wage at 2.65 million tomans (almost $132). That’s inconsequential when one considers that Hamidreza Imam Gholi Tabar, the inspector of Supreme Assembly of Workers, said: The poverty line of a family of four has reached 10 million tomans [almost $500] and more than half of the Iranians are living in absolute poverty. Workers are not even able to buy mobile phones in installments for the continuation of their children's education. The Central Bank is printing 295 billion tomans of “money” to offset the government’s budget deficit, which creates inflation and funds the deficit on the backs of the poor. To make matters worse, the Statistics Center of Iran reports that the point-to-point inflation rate of the food and beverages group increased to 66.8% in February 2021.

Iran to Biden: "We're going to need a bigger pallet".

Biden: "Okey-dokey, artichokey".

“If he were smart”. Not going to happen.

[Brian Griffin]

A country that has financial troubles should not waste money developing nuclear weapons capability.

Well, duh. With all that oil floating to the surface, you gotta scrape all that stuff off your feet every time you turn around. Must be miserable. Too bad there's not a use for that stuff.

[Texas Eagle]

Yo, Iran. Try Religious Freedom and Free Enterprise. What do you have to lose?

[Vermont Lt]

Why do we have to do ANYTHING to help Iran?

Contain their terrorism. And...let them fester.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

As if anything DC does would be in the best interest of America.

Exactly the conditions demonicRATS and RINOs are deliberately fomenting here in America.

the last traunch to Iran by Obama (this is Obama 3.0)
gave us ELECTION FRAUD, Iranian nukes,
infiltration of countries all over the world
including in THIS hemisphere, and
Iranian persecution of those who live there.

Only Obola and his puppet with tertiary t. dorsalis
would continue considering repeating the past treason.

Tragic what happened to Iran. Ardent, immature, confused students burning with a desire for “change” ( their personal lives were what really needed change) along with stylish, haughty urban elitists along with academics, created a revolt against a flawed government which despite its shortcomings was allowing the creation of real wealth,universal education,expanding the middle class and was bringing Iran into the modern world. Alas the revolt succeeded but it was the medeival mullahs who managed to seize and hold power. Most of those ardent students and elites either died or scattered. Iran despite its inherent wealth and the intelligence of its people has declined and suffered. Best for the US to withdraw from the region and allow the locals to work out their own consensus.

It tastes like strawberry’s

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Iran just signed a 25-year deal with China. Iran will greatly benefit from it.

[minnesota_bound]

Biden and the democrat party will bring back ISIS and turn Iran into another Syria.
