There is massive corruption in Iran, and as it faces American led sanctions it is of the upmost importance that the nation launches and maintains stringent anti-corruption initiatives in the country.
The Soviet Union, Iran's neighbor also faced severe sanctions for being the first nation on earth to embrace Communism, BUT the harsh anti-corruption regime and Stalin's puritanical lifestyle as an exemplar leader (wearing old boots that were torn with holes in them).......and a leader with GRIM DETERMINATION AND PURPOSE......
LED to the Soviet Union from being a third world agrarian basket weaving economy to one that was the third most industrialized nation on earth, behind the USA and Germany.
But the Iran mullahs are hardly Stalin, but rather puppets brought into power by the CIA. They EAT LAVISHLY, dress lavishly, travel lavishly to every nation earth.......they maintain secret offshore bank accounts...and they have very lavish fat rich children who reside with the old rich of Northern Tehran.
The puppet Shah of Iran found scapegoats to blame when the CIA destabilized his country. Instead of dealing with the free wheeling CIA in Iran he arrested his own appointed Prime minister and others and threw them under the bus to please the crowds.
In effect he cut his own hand.

Iran to execute billionaire tycoon Babak Zanjani
By Middle East Monitor– Iran has ordered billionaire businessman Babak Zanjani to be executed for corruption, sources in the judiciary said.
In 2016, the Supreme Court of Iran upheld the death sentence against Zanjani who worked as a broker selling Iranian oil through Revolutionary Guards companies during the period of international sanctions, especially during the reign of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Zanjani, 42, is one of the richest men in Iran with an estimated fortune of $14 billion. The business tycoon owns 70 companies.
Media reports online claim Judge Sadeq Amoli Larijani has maintained Zanjani’s death sentence in an effort to divert public attention from the espionage case against his daughter.
(The Larijani are four powerful brothers who constitute a government within the government)
The news website had reported that Zahra Ardeshir Larijani has been accused of spying for the UK. However, earlier this month, Iran’s Intelligence Minister, said Mahmoud Alavi denied the media report saying “none of the Larijani family members is suspected of espionage”.
