Hana; Morteza Bakhtiari, head of the relief committee, said that the poverty line in Iran has reached 10 million tomans.
According to the Islamic Republic's own statistics, 33% of the population of Iran is below the multidimensional poverty line, and Bakhtiari has stated in this regard; The population below the absolute poverty line had reached 15 percent between 2013 and 2017, but had increased to 30 percent from 2017 to 2019.
Economic experts believe that; Rising inflation is one of the reasons for the increase in poverty in 2020. In a society where wealth is not produced, wealth is not distributed, so people become poor, and the number ten million is declared as the poverty line, as the living experience of the people suggests. This number is less than the actual value.
It should be noted; The salaries of workers, teachers and retirees are well below the poverty line, while in the Islamic Republic it spends a lot of money to help its allied jihadist groups, promote Shiite Islamic ideology and propaganda around the world.
