Iran Reports 25% Jump in Chicken Prices Amid Cost-of-Living Crisis
What happened
The state-run newspaper Ham-Mihan reported that chicken prices in Iran have increased by at least 25 percent. This rise is attributed to soaring production costs, currency policy, export mismanagement, and institutional profiteering, contributing to a worsening cost-of-living crisis in the country.

Why it matters
The increase in basic food prices reflects the failure of the regime's price-control pledges. The report notes that the rising costs are making even basic protein products unaffordable for many Iranian households, shrinking their food baskets.
