Hamid Asefi explains that you have bunch plunders and pillagers who are filling their pockets with dollars.  These guys are so powerful that they actually extract and own the natural resources of Iran. 

Shahmkhani has like 200 Naftkesh.  His son fills them up for free and then they sail these naftkesh to various areas and they sell the oil with discount to whoever middlemen who want to buy them.  The money goes into their pocket in dollars.  None goes to people.  

IRI is pretty much the same setup.  Don’t think of IRI as a government where they are after national interests… IRI at the top are bunch of Oligarch.  Anywhere around 200-300 of them. The negotiations with West, Saudi, China, Russia has nothing to do with national interest.  It is all about who gets what kind of cut. Controlling inflation, or controlling currency to them is like, What??!!
