🗣Your account: The situation after the national revolution and military tensions - Friday 2 Mordad 1405

Central Province

🔹They didn’t knock down the ration-coupons (kala barg) of shopkeepers; our checks have all bounced, our shops are also empty. We don’t have money to buy goods. The government doesn’t pay our money.

🔹Today I went to buy kala barg. At every shop I went to, they didn’t accept it. I asked someone I know who runs a store; he said because they haven’t made the deposit for a month and there is no way to follow up anywhere, a lot of their checks have bounced and some shop managers also don’t show up because of debts to the public.

🔹I wanted to say: one million tomans’ worth of kala barg, which also doesn’t have a purchasing value of 500,000 tomans from last year. In Arak, I looked through several shops, but the sellers don’t offer kala barg sales because their money hasn’t been paid by the government.

Bushehr Province

🔹No shop that we went to is willing to give kala barg anymore. They say the government hasn’t paid them, and that’s why, in practice, people can’t even cover their necessities with kala barg.

Lorestan Province

🔹From Ku dasht: they haven’t paid the wheat farmers. They have told the farmers to receive goods instead of money.

Razavi Khorasan Province

🔹Butchers refuse to sell meat with kala barg, and their reason is that the government hasn’t paid their dues for more than a month.

Other areas

🔹We ask all citizens to buy only essential goods. Also, we request all shopkeepers to refrain from stockpiling and storing goods in depots and warehouses, and to put their inventory on the market. In these conditions, cooperation and avoiding hoarding helps preserve calm in the market and helps all fellow citizens.

🔹No one accepts kala barg anywhere. They say they haven’t paid us the money for earlier batches either. Now where is all this money? Was it spent to bury the remnants of Khamenei’s corpse? There’s no money for the people, but billions are spent on their own affairs. Tomorrow in Iran, we’ll reach out to each and every one of you.

🔹Inflation is raging. They made all these promises to give us one million tomans of kala barg, but now for two months no shop sells goods with kala barg, and they say the government hasn’t paid our money.

🔹Why doesn’t the government deposit that kala barg money into people’s accounts so we can buy from everywhere? And every shop that accepts kala barg, because the purchase is with kala barg, charges goods at double the price.
