As prices of basic foodstuff skyrocket in Iran, regime officials warn about people\u2019s reactions and a looming uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On May 5, the prices of bread and pasta, two food items that the public in Iran could still afford to have, suddenly skyrocketed. Many economists and regime officials attribute the rise to the removal of the \u201cpreferential rate\u201d used to import grain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baharnews.ir\/news\/334818\">the state-run Bahar news<\/a> on May 5, the price of rice has \u201cincreased by 130% in the past eight months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">People from all walks of life have called for protests, and in Khuzestan, locals took to the streets. The internet in Khuzestan is brought to very slow, and security forces are on alert. The current situation has caused a lot of stir among the regime\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe skyrocketing prices have crushed people. The government had promised to help people by giving them coupons but has failed. The current situation has increased people\u2019s dissatisfaction.

Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government had introduced the preferential rate in 2016 in a bid to control the fluctuating market and somehow prevent people\u2019s protests as the prices of basic consumer goods were soaring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The official exchange rate was allocated to importing essential goods such as grain and medicine. The regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption eventually tripled the prices but removing the preferential rate has quadrupled the costs of people\u2019s essential needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe reason for the current unprecedented skyrocketing prices is eliminating the preferential rate by the government and parliament. The government would earn 50,000 trillion rials by removing the official exchange rate of 42000 rials per dollar. This is people\u2019s wealth,\u201d Heshmatollah Falahatpished, a former top MP, acknowledged on May 7 on Twitter. It is worth noting that Falahatpishe was the regime\u2019s envoy to Syria in 2015 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/iran-regimes-top-lawmaker-we-gave-20-30-billion-to-syria\/\">later acknowledged they had given $30 billion<\/a> to Iran\u2019s backed dictatorship of Bashar-al Assad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cIf the government has reduced the inflation and fixed the currency rate, why are the prices skyrocketing?
