Mahdi Karroubi, a leader of the 2009 Green Movement protests, recently released from house arrest, criticized the Iranian government's disastrous policies. He stated that the regime aimed to elevate the nation through nuclear energy while actually leading the people into despair. In a meeting with the "Council of Martyrs' Assembly," he emphasized that the government lacks a proper understanding of the country's situation and has not made any internal improvements. Karroubi urged the authorities to return to the people and create conditions for structural reforms before it's too late.
