Alamolhoda’s reaction to the increase in car prices: Could it be a plot by infiltrators?
Ahmad Alamolhoda, the Friday prayer leader of Mashhad and a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, criticized the price hikes during Friday prayers, saying it might be a conspiracy.
According to Tasnim, during today’s Friday prayer sermon on November 22 in Mashhad, he referred to the people’s situation against the relentless attack of price hikes, saying it might be a conspiracy. He suggested that some infiltrators might be trying to exhaust and frustrate the people, turning them against the system and the country. He called on all institutions of the Islamic Republic to investigate where these unjustified and unregulated price hikes are coming from.
He criticized the surge in official prices of Iranian cars, saying that people go to sleep and wake up to find that two automakers have disrupted the entire economic balance and system of the country by raising car prices, allowing some to reap huge profits and economic benefits. He questioned if there could be anything worse than this disruption of the country’s economy while everyone watches and no one asks why. Even when they try to justify the price hikes, none of the arguments hold up to scrutiny, especially regarding the 35% increase in car prices.
