The correction of the price of gasoline in the 7th Parliament was a betrayal of Iran's economy. Economist Mehdi Pazouki, who defends the gradual increase in gasoline prices, saw the experience of the 7th and 8th governments as an example of the gradual adjustment of fuel prices. He believes that stopping the gradual increase in gasoline prices in the following years led to the creation of problems such as rationing and imbalance in the fuel market. A gradual price correction could have prevented today's problems from piling up, Pazzucci emphasizes.
