Iran opposition leader: High prices to intensify if ‘anti-human regime’ remains
If Iran’s “anti-human regime” remains in power, high prices and unemployment will only intensify, the head of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Maryam Rajavi, said on Friday hailing recent demonstrations protesting the government’s decision to ration and hike the price of petrol.
"By tripling gasoline prices, the mullahs further impoverish the people," Rajavi tweeted.
