As fuel prices rise again, Iran’s government urges citizens to cut back

Comments

1. Omarali: What's next? They're going to start taxing oxygen or something. This is ridiculous
2. Theo: that's a steep increase, wonder how average families will cope
3. Danevoss: what's being done to address inequality among low-income families hit by this price hike?
4. Vera: so who's going to make sure they can afford the rent at 100k a liter?
5. Ember Onyx: are they seriously proposing a price hike to discourage consumption? doesn't that just perpetuate the cycle of punishing citizens for governments' own inefficiencies
6. Felix: how are they doubling costs like that overnight?
7. Nina: suddenly 'cutting back' is the solution? where's the plan to reduce subsidies?
8. Karimluna: this is some next-level price gouging can't they just stabilize the market for once?
9. Umbra Kite: someone's getting burned by these quotas
10. Lunavossxo: what a clever way to tax drivers out of driving I guess
11. Aria Tran: this is just going to crush the people who can least afford it
12. Nora: people saying cut back on fuel like it's a personal choice somehow. how much income are we expecting to go up for those making under 10k a year?
