Tehran, September 19 (Daily Kiran) : Tehran is grappling with increasing prices for essential goods, a situation exacerbated by U.S. attacks and various sanctions. The Iranian government has acknowledged the rising inflation as a significant concern. In a recent press briefing, officials expressed hope that positive engagements in BRICS and Shanghai meetings could pave the way for diplomatic solutions.
Ali Jenivand, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior, highlighted the crisis, stating that the repair of residential buildings, homes, and public service centers like police stations takes precedence over non-essential government projects. He emphasized that the nation’s priority is to rebuild infrastructure for those affected by recent damages.
Jenivand noted that approximately 75,000 homes, along with critical infrastructure and bridges connecting cities, have suffered severe damage in provinces such as Hormozgan and Golestan due to attacks.
He attributed the record inflation in Iran to decades of Western sanctions, stating, “Rising prices are a concern for the people, and all officials are working to resolve this issue.”
Regarding negotiations with the United States, Jenivand mentioned ongoing efforts to address issues and return to the Islamabad Agreement, emphasizing the importance of the other party fulfilling its commitments under the deal.
“This is an agreement that was approved by the Supreme National Security Council and confirmed by the Supreme Leader, making it an official decision of the system,” he added.
He also pointed out that active diplomacy is continuing through President’s participation and in-depth discussions at the recent Shanghai and BRICS meetings held in India and Kyrgyzstan.
