What happened
In response to economic pressures, Tehran Municipality implemented a 'Zero Inflation' program that freezes prices for a limited basket of food staples for six months. The program began with 12 essential products available at municipal produce markets, with 18 Shahrvand stores joining later. Separately, the central bank began selling dollars directly to individuals to ease pressure on the currency market. These measures are part of Iran's efforts to contain pressure on household budgets.

Why it matters
The initiatives address the ongoing economic crisis in Tehran, which is constrained by sanctions, a U.S. naval blockade, and ongoing war. While the price freeze and currency intervention aim to stabilize costs, reports note that neither measure provides comprehensive protection against the rising cost of living.
The Iranian President is currently facing blame for managing the national currency crisis and infrastructure issues in Tehran, which is experiencing a broader economic crisis.
