🔶 The price of politics is on the table of the Iranian people.

From purchasing tuna in installments to removing meat and dairy products from home tables; The cost of a basket of 11 items of basic products for one person exceeded 5.6 million tomans. At the same time, the high price and shortage of medicines and currency changes increased the pressure on people's livelihood.
Triple-digit food inflation, the high price of medicine and withdrawal from essential purchases have brought the lives of wage earners and pensioners in Iran to the brink of poverty. While the Council of Leadership Experts called for the establishment of a "war economy headquarters" with the participation of the three powers, government policy continues to pass the cost of the crisis on to the households that contributed the least in its establishment.
The table of millions of Iranians is getting smaller every day. The government talks about war and sanctions, the economy minister apologizes for the high prices, some officials talk about maintaining the purchasing power of the people; But what is happening in the day-to-day lives of the citizens is nothing but the transfer of the cost of the crisis to the pockets and tables of those who have to pay the price of government policy with a fixed salary.
According to the published ads, a can of tuna is bought in four installments out of necessity. Each egg costs 27 thousand tomans. Oil, dairy products, meat and chicken remain in the food basket of many households.
