In the days after Trump was diagnosed with the virus and subsequently hospitalized, Tehran sociology professor Muhammad Fazili took to social media to talk about “two groups” of Iranians “praying” for Trump.
Fadhli is an assistant professor at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, he is also said to be an advisor to Iranian Minister of Energy Reza Ardakanian, and deputy director of the Research Center in the Presidential Office.
Fadel said, in a post on Instagram over the weekend, that “it is no wonder Donald Trump is hospitalized for the Corona virus, anyone, including the president of any country, can get infected … But it is very strange that there is Many people”. In Iran, wish him luck and leave the hospital safe and sound. “
“The first group of people to pray to Trump are ordinary people who believe that although the sanctions and maximum pressure exerted by Washington have caused great damage to the Iranian economy, the hope of reforming the system from within has become impossible.” added Fadli.
As for the second group, Fadli saw that they believe that if something happens to Trump because of Corona, this will increase the chances that his opponent, Joe Biden, will win the elections, and thus “an improvement in the economic situation and openness to the Iranian government and improving their image, and that’s what they don’t want. “
These events prompted Fazili to invite the rulers of Iran, saying: “The rulers should think about the things they did” and understand the reasons for it.
Furthermore, Fazili urged Tehran to study why some “ordinary Iranians” had reached this desperate point.
The Iranian rial suffered a record decline over the past month, reaching its lowest value, registering 300,000 against the US dollar, amid US sanctions.
The value of the Iranian currency reached 32,000 rials to the dollar in 2015 at the time of the nuclear deal with world powers.
And the US sanctions have caused a sharp decline in exports of Iranian oil, the country’s main source of income.
A few days ago, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani admitted that his country had lost $ 150 billion in revenue since Washington withdrew from the nuclear deal between the two countries, signed in 2015, and reimposed sanctions on its economy.
The International Monetary Fund expects Iran’s gross domestic product to decline 6 percent this year, after declining 7.6 percent last year.
