It is hard to imagine in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, people of one of the richest countries, Iran, see their food and water rationed. But sadly, it is true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 20, Iran\u2019s state-run <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yjc.news\/fa\/news\/8165921\" rel=\"noopener\">media reported<\/a> the regime would implement the so-called \u201csmart subsidies of flour and bread\u201d plan in Tehran and other metropoles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis plan more seems like rationing the bread and flour. Because bakers could receive a limited \u2018portion\u2019 of flour using their card at a lower price. They should get the rest at the free market rate,\u201d the state-run <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etemadnewspaper.ir\/fa\/Main\/Detail\/186552\/%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86-%C2%AB%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AA%D9%8A%C2%BB-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%AF\" rel=\"noopener\">Etemad daily wrote<\/a> on June 20. \u201cBased on this plan, if a bakery received 200 bags of flour per month, it would now receive as much as it produces bread,\u201d the paper adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In other words, many Iranians should purchase bread at a higher price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the government of Ebrahim Raisi removed the \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-new-monetary-policy-is-setting-the-stage-for-another-disaster\/\" rel=\"noopener\">preferential exchange rate<\/a>\u201d, commodities prices have quadrupled in the best-case scenario.<\/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 caused prices to soar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Protests erupted across the country in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/05\/23\/middleeast\/iran-protests-inflation-mime-intl\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\">early May<\/a> as people couldn\u2019t take another economic shockwave amid the country\u2019s financial calamity. In recent years, bread has become the only food of many Iranian families; depriving them of this could spark another uprising. Fearing the outcome, the mullahs started their blame game, accusing poor Iranian bakers of \u201csmuggling the flour\u201d. One could only wonder how on earth is it possible to smuggle tons of flour into a country where all ports and borders are tightly controlled, and where it takes only a few moments to arrest someone who chants a slogan against the regime officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFlour smuggling and all the plans prepared under the pretext to combat corruption have nothing to do with bakers. Have the country&#8217;s bakers become powerful enough to smuggle flour from the borders to neighboring countries?\u201d the state-run Setra-e Sobh <a href=\"http:\/\/www.setaresobh.ir\/fa\/main\/detail\/89252\/\">daily questioned in this regard<\/a> on July 22.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under pressure, the only solution left for poor Iranian bakers is to go on strike, which means more Iranians lose their primary food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf we do not handle the bakers\u2019 problem, soon they would close their shops, and this is not good for people and it will have consequences for us,\u201d Setar-e Sobh article wrote, warning regime officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the regime is now depriving Iranians of bread, it has been two years that many Iranians buy bread \u201con lease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a heart-wrenching story in 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/tejaratnews.com\/%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4-%D9%82%D8%B3%D8%B7%DB%8C-%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86\">the state-run Tejaratnews explained<\/a> how Iranians lease bread. \u201cThe last page of his notebook is divided by a line, filled with names and the date they leased the bread,\u201d the website wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alireza Monadi, one of the regime\u2019s MPs, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-people-are-leasing-bread-while-the-regime-spends-billions-on-war-and-terrorism\/\">acknowledged<\/a> in April that \u201cpoverty is on a rampage in the outskirts of Tabriz (a major city in northwest Iran). &#8220;Some people are literally leasing bread,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/selling-body-parts-a-tragedy-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Selling body parts<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/why-thousands-of-people-in-iran-are-abandoning-their-newborn\/\" rel=\"noopener\">abandoning newborns<\/a>, parents <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/how-much-is-a-baby-worth\/\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-selling their unborn<\/a> babies, rising number of suicide cases, and now buying bread on the lease, are all the various indications of how the lives of millions of Iranians are riddled with pain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian regime adds salt to people\u2019s wounds through the so-called \u201ceconomic plans\u201d or simply by digging deeper into their pockets. Tehran needs every penny to fund the vast security and military apparatus that preserves its rule. Tehran also needs to fun\u00a0its illicit activities, such as spreading terrorism and pursuing its nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Its solution for those Iranians who demand their rights by holding protests is oppression. But what goes around comes around. These measures only add to people\u2019s hatred toward the regime, and the ongoing demonstrations with people chanting \u201cdeath to Raisi\u201d and \u201cdeath to Khamenei\u201d are testaments to the latter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many folklore tales and post-apocalyptic movies, when the world runs out of all its resources, people&rsquo;s basic needs like bread and water are rationed.
