Pandemic and High Prices Have Caused More Hunger in Iran
Qassem Ali Hassani, secretary of the regime’s Food Union, acknowledged that the pandemic and the increasing of prices have reduced demand for food by 30 to 35 percent compared with the same period last year.
Referring to skyrocketing prices, Hassani said: “The price for Iranian rice has increased by 38% since the beginning of the year, and since April, when it was 31,000 Tomans per kilogram, it has reached 43,000 Tomans per kilogram.”
Oil also became 35% more expensive in June, which has dropped people’s ordering. The price for sugar has also increased by 90% since the beginning of the year and has reached 11,500 Tomans (Tejarat News, August 17).
Skyrocketing prices, in a country that is one of the five richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources, has led to an unprecedented spread of poverty and hunger among the people.

If he had the opportunity to institutionalize democracy, the face of Iran would have been different and fundamentalism could not have spread in the region.
