according to my family members in Tehran, medical doctors have joined the corruption as well. When one goes to see a doctor he /she should not use his insurance card, rather he should deposit the doctor's black market fee to his account and then go to his appointment.
communications,Internet TV, Radio, Satellites
All communication methods are severely censored in Iran. Iranian people have learned how to circumvent governmental limits. There are satellite TVs to connect to world news networks .However the regime has taken steps to make access to the global internet more cumbersome and expensive, and drive users to a domestic version of the internet where authorities can more effectively control content and monitor users. The regime also employs extensive censorship, surveillance, content manipulation, and extralegal harassment against internet users, making Iran's online environment one of the world's most restrictive. Authorities instructed internet service providers (ISPs) to increase their prices between 30 and 40 percent, making access significantly more expensive (7).
Conclusions:
The military defeats of the last few months, Khamenei's obnoxious weekly rants and the exhaustion of the public has created a barrel of gunpowder ready to blow up. It is difficult to predict anything in the Middle East. However it looks like a social explosion is imminent.
