Corruption in Iran

Corruption in Iran is widespread, especially in the government. According to a report in 2024, the Islamic Republic of Iran ranks close to the bottom (151st out of 180 countries) on the Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International. While former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed corruption in the country is "occasional rather than systemic," independent observers generally view corruption in Iran as an instrument of national strategy and a core feature of the political order.
