Iran regime uses the stock market to steal from Iranians.
Iran Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei: My advice has been given many times. Use internally produced products. Participate in productive investments, those who can, including in stocks and cooperatives.
Iran President Hassan Rouhani: Investing in (gold) coins and the dollar are not suitable. But stocks and the oil market are (suitable). We want people to invest in a reliable source that will have returns for them, not losses.
Arman state-run Daily: The people’s investments have vanished into thin air. They invested to provide for their minimum living needs because they trusted the words of senior officials.
Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi, MP: The reason the government vigorously encouraged stock market investments was to provide funds from the almost empty pockets of the people.
Jahan-e-Sanat state-run Daily: The government has been interfering with the stock market since last year to take advantage of the people’s investments.
Arman state-run Daily: Pay attention to the sighs that are currently being uttered quietly. Tomorrow these voices will grow louder and accumulate into shouts; Shouts that cannot be easily silenced.
