Sanctions’ pressure on IRGC
Tehran, July 26, 2010
Asalouyeh is the main vein of Iran’s future economy. Gas pipe lines transfer gas from south to domestic factories but the project is facing problems.
Formerly about 100000 workers were at work in this gas and oil field but right now only 16000 workers are there, which is a sign that the development and future of this field is under question.
With the sanctions that also target foreign companies if they invest in Iran’s oil and gas industry the regime is helpless in this project.
Recently the project has been put in the hands of the enterprises affiliated with regime and its 21 billion dollar expenses must be provided by the oil income, Iranian banks or by the bonds that the regime intends to print. Even if the money is solved there would still be problem with the technology needed for the job.
Khatam- Al Anbia Base of IRGC that has singed the contract for the developing project has been put in the list of sanctions and had to leave both the project and billions of dollars.

Situation of factories producing spare parts for country’s power system
Tehran, July 26, 2010
Currently because the ministry of power has no budget to pay its debts to the production factories of spare parts for country’s power system, these factories are facing increasing financial problems.
As the government pays no money to these factories they had to borrow money from banks which they are not able to pay back.
Most of these kinds of factories are facing this crisis and because of this, two managers of these factories had committed suicide.
Some other managers who were not able to pay back their loans are banned from going out of the country.
Medicine producing factories facing crisis
Tehran, July 26, 2010

One of the managers of these factories said: we don’t know what our situation would be the next day and the effects of sanctions will be obvious in our factory soon.

Gasoline
Gasoline out of line; 500 tomans per liter
Tehran, July 28, 2010
As the lines for gasoline get more crowded each day, black market for gasoline has come to existence.
Some sell free gasoline around the gas stations on price of 500 tomans and lots of people pay the price so that they won’t need to stay in lines.
One of the buyers: “I am really sorry that the government cannot even control the daily price of gasoline and cannot provide it. It is because of that, that gasoline is sold as such and pressure increases on people.”
