An adviser to the president of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce argued on Telegram that even if President Trump lifted all sanctions and came to Tehran, the economic situation would not improve and might worsen because the Iranian government is corrupt. The remarks reflect deepening internal criticism of the regime's governance amid ongoing U.S.-Iran talks.
An adviser to the president of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce published a sharp critique of the Iranian regime on Telegram Monday evening, arguing that even total sanctions relief by the Trump administration would fail to improve the economic situation due to what he called deep governmental corruption. "If Trump cancels all sanctions and comes to Tehran tomorrow to eat stews alongside [President] Pezeshkian, the people's situation will not improve — it will even worsen because the administration is corrupt," the adviser wrote.
The statement adds to a growing chorus of internal Iranian criticism of the regime's governance and its negotiating posture with Washington. As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, senior Iranian officials have alternated between threatening the U.S. and Israel and warning that Washington is not enforcing a potential agreement. This latest commentary comes from a figure tied to the Tehran business establishment, suggesting that the economic frustration extends beyond political or security circles.
The remarks were posted on a Persian-language the source and have not been independently verified by The Zioneer. The adviser's identity and exact title were not specified in the message.
