#Iran's #FakeNews machine at work:

"It did not say where Zahedifar was arrested. In a video carried by state broadcaster IRIB, a blindfolded man who identified himself as Zahedifar denied he had fled Iran."

What a coincidence (!), all of this developing just "a week after Tehran sentenced three people to death in a drive against economic crimes."

"In August, Iran set up the special Islamic courts to try suspects quickly after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for 'swift and just' legal action to confront an 'economic war' by enemies."

My opinion:
#Iran's regime needs such #FakeNews stunts to make them look good before the public & claim they're actually battling corruption.

However, the Iranian people have lost faith in the regime. Completely.

The mullahs' days are numbered & such a ridiculous fiasco will neither fool anyone nor provide the breathing room they're desperately looking for.
