Iran’s Freefall Into Poverty

[Serpentine]

According to some reports, between 11 million and 21 million people in Iran live in slums, deprived of minimum health and public services.

City streets, particularly in Tehran, are full of advertisements for human organs.

These two sentences alone proves why this 'article' is so full of BS. But the source is Radio Farda, so it's not surprising.

Which one of the quoted sentences do you exactly believe is giving you the proof to conclude the whole article full of BS, my dear friend?
The number of people living in slums?

Or the non existence of the organ selling Ad's filled up walls of the Tehran city?

its American, they will clearly exaggerate things against Iranian govt.

Regardless of the economy. There are poor in every country. In UK, US and even in Saudi Arabia. Iran opposes the American Imperialism and pays the price. Still deterred. Salute.

I know. The other day I was following a huge articulated truck and I noticed the Euro plates with TR. It was a Turkish truck and i thought to see a Turkish truck in my inconsequential town so far up north was indicative of Turkish economy doing well and being connected to Europe. This was not the first time I have seen Turkish trucks.

I see them almost every day in Switzerland, trade seems to be doing fine but balance is important, Turkey is currently importing more than exporting.
Though a large chunk goes to Russia and Iran for Energy imports.

It is possible they are exaggerating but who else is even attempting to report some facts? Nobody seems to want to step up to the plate and take a swing.

Just because you're too ignorant to know how incredibly active political parties are in Iran, how much they criticise the current administration about poverty, inequality, lack of jobs and basically every other thing that political parties criticise the current government in wrt the economy... doesn't mean there is no one reporting it.

That’s the Packard Plant. Yes, the car company that closed in 1958. The factory hasn’t been used much since.

Well...according to all the “non-ignorant” people on here the OP by @New was simply full of obvious lies. If it is even partially true that makes them just as ignorant as me.

It's literally a US government funded propaganda site, created by the CIA. There is no other conclusion.

Yes, it is run hy the USA but as New pointed out what exactly are they saying that isn’t even remotely true. If they are off by a few million in poverty then point it out instead of saying the blanket “it’s ALL a smokescreen of lies”.
