🗣Your account: Living conditions under political repression and military tensions — Thursday, 22 Mordad

📍 Khuzestan Province 🔹 Hopeideh Khuzestan: Our living situation has gotten so bad that in the fridge we can’t find anything except water and a few pieces of tomato. Believe me, my oil has run out for 3 days. For two days now, they were supposed to deposit the money for the grain we delivered to the government in the first month of the year, but they still haven’t paid.

🔹 Khuzestan: I’m 30 years old with a child; I’ve been unemployed for months. Before that, we worked as laborers. In our small town, only people with connections and party backers get jobs—just make sure you’re available to them. Our work and people like us have been crushed and humiliated by high prices. How ashamed I am to my son?

📍 Tehran Province 🔹 From Tehran: Replacing two engine hoses for a simple Prid—cost 10 million; with 3 million for oil, altogether it came to 13 million tomans. Is there any cheaper car than a Prid that we would still end up paying costs like this for?

🔹 From Tehran: The one-month electricity bill for Mordad 1405, which before used to come at most at 150,000 tomans, has now become 1,400,000 tomans. We only have one refrigerator and one swamp cooler, which are mostly turned off. Damn whoever is responsible and whoever caused it.
