According to recent Iranian propaganda outlets: Tasnimne, Iran-Pakistan trade $2 billion; Iran-Turkey trade value exceeds $1.37 billion in 3 months; Tehran Times, Iran ranks as 6th in the world in terms of car manufacturing 2022; Tasnimne, India’s import of Iranian goods almost doubled in the first two months of 2023 ($134 million), Iran-Qatar bilateral trade to reach $3 billion by 2025; Value of Iran-EAEU trade to reach $10 billion; Iran-EU trade value hits 761 million Euros in two months and Iran links MoU’s with 30 countries, there is also the trade that Iran boasts of with Saudi Arabia (Iranian estimates at $1 Billion) after the 10 Mar 22 signing of a new relationship between the two countries. All this announced in the last couple of days and under the umbrella of the current industry minister with many more millions and billions of dollars’ worth of trade. There will be no mention of the billion-dollar deals between Iran, Russia, China and Venezuela. Tasnimne boasted that Iran’s Foreign Debt Shrinks 25% at the end of Feb 22. It appears to the outside that he was doing a good job.
A quote from the news outlet Iran International: Lawmaker for Tabriz, Ahmad Alirezabeigi who had initially charged the former minister with giving 75 SUVs to parliamentarians to avert a previous impeachment motion, said after Fatemi-Amin's dismissal that he has given 147 cars to the lawmakers. Alirezabeigi told Didban Iran website that he has presented evidence supporting his claim to the Public Prosecutor's Office. He said a document signed by the executive deputy to the speaker of the parliament indicates that he had designated at least 57 lawmakers to receive the cars at a discounted price several times lower than market value. He said the profit for the lawmakers was huge due to the vast difference between the price set by the importing company and the sale price in the market. Ironically, although Fatemi Amin has been impeached and replaced from his post partly because of the deal about the cars, none of those who have received the cars have been reportedly questioned, indicted or even publicly named.
The Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in major policies, criticized the high prices and low quality of home-made products including cars. Cars now that’s an interesting topic. According to the Tehran Times on the 28 May 22 Iran has been ranked the world’s 19th biggest automaker in 2021. Again, the Tehran Times claimed that Iran ranks 6th worldwide in terms of car manufacturing growth in 2022. An immense leap from 19th the year before to the 6th position. The Iranian cars are known as “death wagons” due to their inferior design and make. There is a long list of imported cars that if you pay for one upfront there is no guarantee that you will receive the vehicle or that you will get your money back if you don’t. The whole industry is riddled with government corruption. The elephant in the room here is sanctions which are hurting Iran with the government not admitting to it, sadly the ordinary people who claim that the minimum wage only lasts for nine days are the ones who are suffering. There are not many who believe the sacking on the minister will make any improvements as those who generally replace the ones who are sacked are weaker. Its not just the industry minister who needs to go it’s the whole rotten regime.
