In modern Iran, it is widely accepted that corruption is one of the main obstacles to the country's economic development.[5] Many Iranians believe the country's miserable economic situation is a byproduct of mismanagement and widespread corruption at the top. Reformists and conservatives alike - at times even the Supreme Leader[6] - routinely criticize corruption in the government.
