Food Prices 72% Higher Year-Over-Year

| Iran Conflict

Iran's Statistical Center reports food prices are 72% higher than December 2024. Bread, rice, and cooking oil have seen the steepest increases. The elimination of the preferential exchange rate for agricultural imports is expected to push prices even higher in coming weeks. Queues at government-subsidized stores stretch for blocks in working-class neighborhoods of Tehran and Mashhad.
