You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Revolutionary idea? - Possible parity between the Iranian crude oil & gas and the Iranian Rial ==

In the series "ask more", does anyone know why there is no authoritative source or research on this subject (i.e. creating a parity between crude oil & gas and the [[Iranian Rial]]) same as between the [[Swiss Franc]] and [[gold reserves|gold]] years ago. Iran has plenty of "[[black gold]]" [[Iran's oil reserves|reserves]]. Would it boost the value of the Rial? I think so. Are there down sides? Why Iran is not doing it? WP is not a forum, but this subject is central and sources are needed to make note of it in this article. The [[Iranian oil bourse]] is yet something else (they trade in Iranian Rial but no parity is established). Thanks for any answers or direction on this important topic.

You have obviously misrepresented [[User talk:SpidErxD#Recent edits|my talk page response]] (reproduced below): 

1. First, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Iran&type=revision&diff=758724393&oldid=758607027 you have removed an entire paragraph worth of long standing information] (mainly World Factbook data) in the lead section without any discussion. Lead sections are intended [[WP:lead|to summarize content]] of the entire article. This removal does not help with that.

2. You have removed '''material economic information''' from the infobox section such as ''"Iranian devalued its currency in July 2013"'' (sourced to World Factbook) without [[Talk:Economy of Iran#Request For Comments|any discussion on the talk page]].

3. You have added (non-IMF source) from gfmag.com (and replaced CIA world factbook data) without any consensus (as for public debt). 

4. You have '''replaced''' latest IMF ''current data'' AND '''estimates''' with IMF ''forecasts'' figures ''only'' (e.g. for GDP and per capita GDP). IMF forecasts are not actual ''confirmed'' figures. They are only ''staff estimates'' (i.e. only ''statistical projection/prediction'' of what might (or might not) happen). See [[WP:CBALL]], as explained also on the [[Talk:Economy of Iran|talk page]].

5. You have removed sourced poverty data (from the infobox) also without any prior discussion.

6. Also please see [[WP:CT]] when formatting citations. 

If there is anything I can help you with or you have questions regarding the above, you can ask on the article's [[Talk:Economy of Iran|talk page]]. [[Special:Contributions/47.17.27.96|47.17.27.96]] ([[User talk:47.17.27.96|talk]]) 07:38, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

The text that was added [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Iran&action=history here] is a sentence copied straight from the source with no context – and that is why it reads so oddly. The source (there are two links there but it is the same source) discusses a research study involving a number of beggars in Tehran, which investigated the prevalence of HIV. The sentence "In a survey conducted in Tehran during 2007 to 2008, 4230 men and women beggars were collected by municipality" refers ''to that study'', and apart from the fact that it was copied straight from the source (which is always unacceptable per [[WP:COPYVIO]]), it is irrelevant to this article. To try to get around a consensus against inclusion for the picture by trying to find some vaguely related text, just to be able to add the picture to the article, is not really constructive.

== PPP GDP numbers are garbage ==

If Iran has the PPP numbers shown in the article it would be reflected in their military. Per the article the PPP GDP is close to 10% of that of the US and since Iran spends a higher percent of its GDP on its armed forces it should have around 10% of the equipment that the US military has. That mean around 1,000 airplanes and a similar number of helicopters. It means their navy should have around 25-30 ships with an average tonnage in the 5-10,000 range and at least 1 aircraft carrier. It means it should have 5 or more subs displacing 10,000 tons or so.

It has none of the above.

Iran has a few hundred planes in its air force, with most being aging US models dating from the 1960's and 1970's. It's navy has less than a dozen major ships (being charitable here), and all of them being under 2,000 tons with its subs charitably being described as 30 year old substandard relics from the Soviet era. [[Special:Contributions/2600:4040:5F0A:5500:1D77:3250:60BB:CE48|2600:4040:5F0A:5500:1D77:3250:60BB:CE48]] ([[User talk:2600:4040:5F0A:5500:1D77:3250:60BB:CE48|talk]]) 23:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

:This is just false. Iran does not spend a higher percentage of it's GDP than the US. Nor is anything you said remotely true.

::The US has 4 times Iran's population yet has only twice as many servicemen in its armed forces. That alone should tell you that Iran is spending a larger portion of its GDP on it's military. Iran has around 600,000 in its regular armed forces and at least another 150,000 in the IRGC. Some numbers put IRGC membership closer to 250,000 members. For comparison, the US has around 1.5 million active duty personnel in its armed forces, roughly twice as many.
::Now to actual spending numbers
::The estimated budget of Iran's military is around $25 billion for the armed forces and another $5 billion for the IRGC bringing the total to around $30 billion. Actual GDP numbers (not PPP adjusted) show Iran with a GDP in the $300 billion range in recent years. Simple division shows that the military spending is around 10% of the national GDP. In recent years, the US has been at 3.5%  of GDP for its military spending. As a percent of GDP, Iran's easily spends at least twice what the US spends and could very well be spending 3 times as much.
::Iran's GDP varies a lot due to oil prices and the huge inflation rate, currently near 50%. In 2020 the GDP was estimated at $240 billion because of the low oil prices that year. This year it is estimated to be around $370 billion.
::Iran is thought to have spend something like $100 billion on its nuclear program over the past 20 years, or roughly $5 billion per year. If this money was for a peaceful program then they could have built something like 10 power plants over that period. They contracted with the Russia to build 1, indicating that around 90% of that money is spend to develop nuclear weapons. So at least another $4 billion more needs to be added to the yearly military budget, bringing it to around $34 billion per year. 
::Your opinion on Iran's Navy is just that ... opinion! List me those major combat vessels in the 5-10,000 range. You can't because there are none.

::also I did not say that Iran operated Soviet era surface ships. I said it operated Soviet era subs. My impression is that all these subs are deathtraps that need a major overhaul before becoming seaworthy.

== GDP Table is garbage ==

In a prior post I pointed out that using PPP numbers distorts the facts by a large factor, and now while looking at the articles GDP table I find the nominal GDP numbers to be utter garbage. 

As an example, for this year most estimates of Iran's GDP are around $370 billion, and yet the table shows a figure of $2,044 billion. That number is utter garbage. that is off by a factor of 6.

Considering how many such errors exist in the article I would say that the odds are excellent that someone working for Iran's propaganda arm was the main author of this page, as it is (to put it charitably) full of fiction that is favorable to Iran. 

In real life Iran is one of the few countries whose government is so inept and corrupt, that it has managed to turn a middle income Second World country into a poverty stricken Third World one.

== Poverty and meat consumption ==

Low meat consumption is something that is highly indicative of poverty. Per this source meat consumption in Iran was around 33 kilos a year as recently as 2019.

https://www.mappr.co/thematic-maps/meat-consumption-by-countries/

Per much more recent source the average Iranian now gets to eat only a few kilos of meat a year indicating a massive increase in poverty in recent years. This low level of meat consumption, similar to nations such as India, Nigeria and Ethiopia, indicates that Iran is now solidly in the Third World and is no longer a middle income Second World nation.  

https://irannewsupdate.com/news/economy/the-average-income-for-iranians-has-shrunk-by-5000/

With the skyrocketing prices of rice, people are being forced to consume imported brands of lower quality. In contrast, the per capita consumption of meat for each person has dropped significantly, currently reaching four kilograms per year.

https://iranwire.com/en/economy/103598-meat-consumption-in-iran-falls-to-all-time-low/
Per capita meat consumption in Iran has fallen by 50 percent in a year to an average of just 2.9kg a year, meaning a large number of Iranians are no longer eating any meat at all, reported Masoud Rasouli, secretary of the Iran Meatpacking Companies Association.

In 2005, the annual per capita meat consumption of a whole Iranian household was 57kg. By 2019 this had fallen to less than 12kg.

The third link seems to be for red meat only and this explains why it cites numbers lower than the other 2 sources!
