The Islamic Republic newspaper hints at the government: The price hikes have nothing to do with the late unrests.
The Islamic Republic newspaper makes it clear that this skyrocketing increase in prices has nothing to do with the unrests, and no one can blame the late unrests for it. The price hikes had begun before the protests.
Wouldn’t it be better to be honest with the people and acknowledge the main factors behind the price hikes, which are poor management and major mistakes in policies, especially foreign policy? With the way you are handling the JCPOA today and tomorrow, it wouldn’t be surprising if in a few days we hear from members of the Iranian JCPOA negotiation team claiming that the unrests are also to blame for the lack of agreement on the JCPOA.
