Tehran Market Shows Strain Amid High Inflation and Sanctions
What happened
In the Tajrish market in Tehran, shops are mostly empty, and sellers report a significant drop in customer purchases. Sellers state that customers are now buying only half a kilogram or one kilogram, compared to previous purchases of two to five kilograms. Prices at the market are reported as being very high.

Why it matters
The economic strain is linked to years of sanctions, a conflict involving US-Israeli attacks and an American blockade of ports, and high inflation. Official figures indicate inflation reached nearly 90 percent year-on-year in September, and food prices have more than doubled since last year.
