Corruption in Iran is widespread, especially in the government.[1][2][3][4][5] According to a report in 2024, Iran ranks close to the bottom on the Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International. While Ali Khamenei claims corruption in the country is "occasional rather than systemic," corruption in Iran is an instrument of national strategy and a core feature of the political order.[6]
