Iranian academic Farshad Momeni and others have urged government officials to avoid policies based on tactics of “shocking” the country to neutralize opposition.
Iranian economist Momeni said in an interview with the reformist Jamalan News: “Using force and resorting to shock therapy to deal with economic problems would hinder the interaction between society and government”. would lead to a social catastrophe, he added.
Momeni mentioned the economy, but the regime’s deadly violence and ruthless executions of protesters are part of the same strategy to shock the country and put it down.
Speaking at a conference on Iran’s current issues and future prospects, Momeni said: The problem is that they are hard to hide. ”
He added that the first thing the government needs to do is understand the current situation and its challenges. It happens while scholars say in recent weeks.
Momeni added that Iran faces a participation crisis as people are excluded from the decision-making process. “It’s immature for the government to announce a decision without first discussing it,” he said.

Government policy is against civic participation. This policy removes incentives for people to cooperate with the government, he said. Momeni concluded that with current policies, the Iranian government is likely to fall into the quagmire that Russia ended up under communism.

Offering suggestions on how to get out of the current Iranian crisis, Tajik said, “What has been lacking in Iranian politics in recent years is a mindset of moderation,” referring to the current nationwide protests in Iran. , Tajik said there is no other solution to the problem: reach out to the people.” He added that he has experienced
According to Khabar Online, when a government refuses to listen to its people and their demands, it closes the door to dialogue and subsequently leads to radicalization of political action. The website concluded that street protests in the past few months may have been the result of such circumstances.
Tajik told Khabar online that politics needs to be flexible like a driver on a curvy road. If the road turns and the driver does not turn, this can lead to catastrophe. In such situations, governments and people become radicalized. In Iran, “sometimes we face a police state, not a political institution.”
According to the Tajiks, the problem with many Iranian politicians, including reformists, is that many of them live as prisoners in their own caves built on rhetoric and get irritated when someone tries to see them see the light of day. There are even things to do
A very clear example of Tajik allegorical examples in caves occurred on December 6 in Tehran as follows. Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakhani outright refuses to listen to students When he showed up at the university to give a talk and said to them, “You’ve been talking for years. Now you should listen to me!” It was humiliating.
