According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Iranian Parliament Speaker Qaribaf stated in a parliamentary address that recent price increases and volatility have placed heavy pressure on Iranian families, and the government and regulatory bodies must take immediate action to safeguard people's livelihoods. Qaribaf indicated that on-the-ground reports and legitimate public complaints demonstrate the current market chaos and lack of effective regulation. He warned that this regulatory vacuum provides opportunities for speculators and middlemen to profit excessively under wartime conditions. Qaribaf emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran demands that the government and regulatory bodies, particularly the Ministry of Justice and government disciplinary bodies, immediately implement serious and effective oversight of the commodity distribution and pricing system.
