And that will solely be unhealthy information for abnormal individuals, stated Hesam, 45, a trainer from the northern metropolis of Amol.

“Financial stress will mount. Our security will likely be jeopardized. … We should keep away from battle in any respect price. I don’t need a struggle. How can I defend my two kids? Nowhere will likely be protected.”

Center- and lower-income Iranians are shouldering a lot of the burden of the financial woes, with inflation over 50%; rising utility, meals and housing costs; and the rial foreign money falling sharply.
