Dalgha Khatinoglu and Prince Reza Pahlavi commented on the petrol price increase

According to The Independent Farsi, you have placed the burden of corruption and warmongering on the shoulders of the Iranian people. As I said in the message of 22 August, raising fuel prices while people are under severe economic pressure is a cruel act and a betrayal of the nation of Iran.” Prince Reza Pahlavi wrote: “To the Zahhak-like regime and its missing leader I say; the poverty and economic pressure you have imposed on the people of Iran are the direct result of your destructive policies. The country’s resources belong to the people of Iran, not to fill the pockets of mafias or to finance terrorism and warmongering. Return the nation’s stolen assets and stop supporting terrorists.”
