Iran: officials unveil waves of unemployed people

Youth Unemployment in Iran

Aziz Akbarian, a member of the Industries & Mines Commission in Iran’s parliament admitted to the fact that there are millions of unemployed people in Iran.

“The government must think about unemployment and creating jobs for the youth instead of resolving sideline issues,” he said.

“Today, we must create jobs for these huge numbers of unemployed workers and prevent uncontrolled imports into the country,” Akbarian added on Wednesday, February 3^rd in an interview with the Quds news agency.

He then lashed out at the Rafsanjani-Rouhani faction and said, “If the Guardian Council is weakened the entire elections will be weakened. This is exactly what the enemies of the country and revolution are looking for.”
