Fellow countrymen,

The Islamic Republic’s attempt to increase the price of gasoline has once again exposed the regime’s incompetence and the structural mismanagement of Iran’s energy market under its rule.

While the Islamic Republic spends the country’s resources on foreign terrorists and internal repressive forces, the regime’s officials and their associates compete with one another in looting national assets, and the regime’s incompetence in running the country has broken households’ backs and impoverished Iranians. Imposing a fuel price increase on the people is an unforgivable mistake and a major betrayal. Fuel prices cannot be compared with those of other countries, while Iranians’ income is in rials and below the poverty line.

The issue of fuel and energy in nearly all countries around the world—even many countries that have far fewer resources than Iran—is managed every day without a crisis.

On the one hand, the IRGC’s smuggling mafia siphons off tens of millions of liters of Iran’s capital every day through tankers, pipelines, and smuggling ports; on the other hand, the car mafia imposes low-quality, high-consumption vehicles on the nation. This criminal sect, which is incapable of solving the problem, shifts the burden of the fuel shortage onto people through its propaganda apparatus and portrays them as the cause of increased fuel consumption and smuggling.

The Islamic Republic is an incompetent, corrupt, and anti-Iranian regime that is itself the root of these misarrangements, and it will never be able to resolve them.

The only way to save Iran and put an end to this destructive cycle is the complete dismantling of this regime and the establishment of a national, capable government. “Iran’s Flourishing Project” has drawn up clear plans for creating balance between fuel production and consumption. These plans are based on the best proven global practices and Iran’s national experience in managing energy resources, and they will be implemented after the fall of this regime, during the transition period.

Long live Iran, Reza Pahlavi
