Mohammad Hossein Ghorbani, the spokesman of the Health Committee said in a conversation with the state-run news agency of ISNA on May 4: “The authorities of the administration of fighting drugs offered a report about the prevalence of addiction in the country and said the number of addicts is higher than the figure of addicts in Afghanistan. Merely 26% of this number is related to the addiction to industrial drugs.”

Without mentioning to the root reason of addiction in Iran and distribution of drugs by IRGC gangs, he said: “Addiction is the root of many social problems including unemployment and divorce. It seems that our strategies during the past 35 years failed to change the situation of addiction in country.

In confrontation with this reality that the age of addiction in the rule of mullahs has reached 13 years, in respond to the question of the journalist that regarding the fact that the statistics show that the age of addiction in the country has reached the average age of children in secondary school, is there a statistic of the age of addiction in the country or not, the speaker of Health Committee of mullahs’ parliament stated: “There are statistics in this regard but I do not like to mention it and I prefer to be silent about it and I only say that the statistics about addiction are extremely worrying.”
