Under the Microscope
The article examines and refutes several claims made by Iranian officials regarding the non-existence of the Guidance Patrol, the dismissal of depression as irrelevant in Iran, the improvement of the country's economic situation, the misrepresentation of inflation and economic hardship, the security of Tehran, and the capacity of Iran's food production. It uses evidence such as expert opinions, social media content, and official statistics to demonstrate that these claims are misleading and do not reflect the actual conditions faced by the Iranian people.
