We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with a discussion with our special guest Dr. Mohsen Sazegara by asking him for his expert views on why despite all the economic problems that the Iranian people are suffering from the regime claims that the US sanctions have no effects on the country?
Dr. Mohsen Sazegara:
The Iranian Central Bank has decided to inject more than one hundred million dollars into the foreign exchange markets to pretend as though no problem exists in that sector of the economy.
At the same time the government has closed downmost of the foreign exchange bureaus to stop any demand from the public for US dollars, therefore temporarily bring down the exchange rate with Iranian rial.
All these acts are cosmetic, as the International Monetary Funds has predicted that the rate of inflation will rise to 29 percent soon and to even 34 percent in 2019.
Iran’s economy during the next two years will shrink by 3.6 percent, which means the country’s economy will melt down and lest we forget that Iran’s economy is run by the military organs.
We must ask Mr. Khamenei how long more our people have to pay the price of his obsession with his hatred of the US, which incidentally has an economy 50 times larger than Iran.

The current economic impasse in Iran is directly related to the policies of the Revolutionary Guard and the intelligence units whose main preoccupation is to follow the regime’s ideology of overtaking the Islamic world through nefarious actions.
While the regime is claiming that it has united the Muslim countries of the world against Israel, the Israelis have now established diplomatic relations with most of the Arab and Islamic countries of the world more than any time in the past.
