Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani has announced that a municipal initiative aimed at stabilising goods prices and mitigating the effects of US sanctions will be rolled out nationwide. Despite the economic war waged by the US against Iranians, the Tehran Municipality initiated the "Zero-Inflation Initiative" to freeze essential goods prices for a period of six months.
This economic shield, as described by Zakani, is intended to counter the pressure exerted by the US and provide greater peace of mind to Iranians in meeting their essential needs. The mayor emphasized that they are in an "all-out war" and are doing everything possible to reduce economic pressure on the population. The US launched Operation Economic Outcast in late August to completely isolate Iran from international trade.
