Social and economic researcher Fardin Yazdani told the Iranian outlet Isna that Iranian society is no longer divided into three classes but is moving toward a bipolar structure of only rich and poor, driven by corruption and deep inequality. He noted that a small minority can afford cars worth 110 billion toman while millions wait for food subsidies.
Fardin Yazdani, a social and economic researcher, assessed in an interview with the Iranian outlet Isna that Iranian society is undergoing a structural transformation. According to Yazdani, the traditional three-class division of poor, middle, and wealthy has collapsed into a bipolar system of only rich and poor, with corruption as the central driver of inequality. He cited the example of a minority able to purchase vehicles worth 110 billion toman while millions depend on food subsidies and aid. The assessment reflects an internal Iranian critique of domestic economic policy amid ongoing international negotiations. No independent data was provided in the report, and the researcher's claims represent his analysis rather than official statistics.
