Verily, on every passing day it is demonstrated anew: the Raisi administration is nothing like its predecessor, from foreign policy where compromising on revolutionary principles, self-determination and basic national interests is no longer an option, to the economy, where the focus is now on neutralizing the effects of sanctions and attending to the pressing needs of the working class.

Iran raises minimum wage for workers by nearly 60%
Thursday, 10 March 2022 7:31 PM [ Last Update: Thursday, 10 March 2022 7:31 PM ]
Iran has increased minimum wage payable to workers by nearly 60% as a government that came to office in August moves ahead with plans to bridge economic gaps for low-paid people in the country.
Reports published in the local media on Thursday said that minimum wage payable to workers had increased to 1.393 million rials per day and 41.79 million rials (US$164) per month for the calendar year starting March 21.
The figures represent an increase of 57.4% on the current calendar year. A maximum wage payable under Iran’s labor law and regulations approved by the government will be seven times the minimum wage.
However, the lowest wage payable to a worker in Iran, including compulsory payments on housing and pension, will be 56.797 million rials ($222) over the next calendar year, showed tables published by the Supreme Labor Council of Iran.
The wage rules apply to all workers covered by Iran’s Social Security Law and is different from salary regulations covering millions of civil servants in Iran who are on government payroll.
Iranian labor minister Hojjatollah Abdolmaleki said the raise in minimum wage would improve the purchasing power of workers in the country while boosting the effective demand in the economy.
He said the raises will be consistent Iranian Presidnet Ebrahim Raeisi’s order earlier this week to improve the welfare of the workers in the country amid inflationary conditions in the economy.

Not sure if this is true. The Russians have been deploying more drones and loitering munitions to Ukraine recently.
Honestly I'm not sure if the Chinese will give them drones since they could be placed under sanctions. Although the Chinese military is already being sanctioned by the west.
They might even be better off buying drones from Iran since Iran is already being sanctioned to the max anyways.
Even the same drones as the Houthis, Samad-3 or Mohajer-6, Shahed 136 would be great for the Ukraine conflict.
The Ethiopians ended up purchasing as many drone as they could get their hands on. Basically anyone that had inventory, they took it, whether Iranian, Chinese, Turkish.
Issue is it is not as easy as give them drones and go.
They need to be trained. Plus the drones need to be bought in conjunction with a very large supply of PGM to really do any major damage.
I am not sure the state of PGM production Iran actually is ib. We see drones with PGM on them and we see PGM on aircraft or helicopters. But how much of these spike copies and various 20+ other PGMs is Iran actually producing in LARGE numbers?
Iran like NATO revealed its jdam Kit to make dumb bombs into more precision bombs. Russia to my knowledge does not have such a kit to take the burden off their PGM stockpile.
The gripe on Russia was their PGM stockpile was not that large (some has to be reserved strictly for a NATO war).
Think about it, if Iran flies even 200 sorties a day and uses 4 bombs each sortie (drone/fighter jet/etc) thats 800 PGMs a day and over 24,000 PGMs a month. In a year over 275,000 PGMs would be used.

Doesn’t mean a whole lot when inflation is running 50% yoy
Raisi is doing an important surgery (This surgery very important and needs a separate topic) on Iranian economy by cutting off the subsidies (which are like implanted tumors for Iranian economy, just like the suspicious subsidized dollar exchange rate which I think was introduced either by foreign agents from within (noofoozi) or mafia groups or both together as a disruptive cold and dangerous weapon to destroy the economy and create civil war). It opened the hand of mafia to steal and make billions of dollars disappear. I don't know how such laws are passed in majlis rejecting opinion of economists.Great. If they do, the US will no longer be a party to the deal (which they aren't right now either), and therefore Washington will not be able to invoke the dispute mechanism which can lead to UN sanctions being reinstated against Iran.
