MOIS Chief Doubled Down on Jalali’s Death Sentence and Accused Sweden of Hostage Taking<\/h3>\n

\"esmail-khatib\"<\/p>\n

In a meeting with provincial prosecutors on May 18, the Iranian regime’s Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib said<\/a>: “Ahmad Reza Jalali’s espionage for the Zionist regime has been proven and his death sentence has gone through all the judicial stages. The Swedish government, on behalf of the Zionist regime and the United States, has illegally detained our fellow countryman, Mr. Hamid Noury, in Sweden shortly after Jalali’s arrest and trial. They have taken Mr. Noury hostage.”<\/p>\n

Khatib added: “One of the strange things was that the Swedish government granted this spy permanent residence after he was arrested in Iran. Following his trial and death sentence, they gave him Swedish citizenship, and since then they have supported him as a citizen of their country. We know that Sweden is pursuing the plan of the Zionist regime and the United States, and they have taken Hamid Noury hostage with the conspiracy and the agenda of the terrorist group of the hypocrites (Iranian regime’s name for the MEK). We will publish more information about Jalali soon.”<\/p>\n

Trying to scare off protestors who have been taking to the streets in recent days, Khatib warned: “Principally, we will take legal action against the disturbers of the order and security of the country and the instigators and those who somehow plan for illegal gatherings, protests, and destruction.”<\/p>\n

Most Iranians Can’t Afford to Buy Chicken Anymore, Website Reports<\/h3>\n

\"iran-man-frozen-chicken\"<\/p>\n

“Over the past week, sales of chicken and eggs have fallen by a third,” the state-run website ‘Tahlil Bazar’ wrote in a report on the removal of the government preferred currency rate<\/a> by the Ebrahim Raisi’s administration. “Now people are looking for chicken liver, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and even chicken skin.”<\/p>\n

The website added: “Previously people could not afford to buy chicken for 30,000 Tomans, let alone buy it for 60,000 Toman as is today.\u00a0This unbridled rise in prices due to the elimination of the preferred currency rate last week still keeps many consumers in a shock, and although the price of chicken is being offered even lower than the approved price, the number of buyers has arrived at a minimum.”<\/p>\n

According to the source, the increase in the price of eggs has also led to a significant reduction in the consumption of protein substances among the citizens, and therefore many producers believe that they will face an increase in production and a decrease in purchases during the next month.<\/p>\n
