Fox News: Iran pension funds on verge of collaps
2019-09-14
[Ynet] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
pension funds are on the verge of collapse according to Fox News.

The crisis is caused by the U.S. maximum pressure campaign imposed by the Trump administration after it withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal.

The report claims that of 18 existing retirement funds in Iran, 17 are in the red, according to document reviewed by National Security Council officials and obtained by Fox News.

That includes the pension funds for all of Iran’s armed forces.

#2  To solve the pension problem they can get more money into the funds or remove future pensioners from the pool. America should step up to help on the demand side.
