Lifting of internet restrictions reveals Iranians’ anger over food inflation
Iranians have expressed growing anger over food price inflation as internet restrictions were partially lifted, revealing annual price surges of 308% for vegetable oil, 190% for chicken, and 170% for rice. The government restored internet access after severing it during the US-Israeli war on 28 February and earlier mass protests.
