The class gap is one of the most important problems facing any society, so that governments have deepened or reduced it in the country by implementing economic programs, which has increased the class gap in Iranian society in recent years. The class gap that leads to the spread of poverty and inequality causes dissatisfaction among the weak sections of society and can lead to a decrease in people's support for the government.
