Iranian MPs warn public anger could deepen without policy change
Several Iranian lawmakers warned that public dissatisfaction could worsen unless the government and parliament move to address people’s grievances.
Bafq lawmaker Mohammadreza Sabaghian said officials should not ignore public discontent.
"We should not forget that people have grievances that must be addressed by the government and parliament," he said. "Otherwise, what we have seen recently will happen again with a much steeper slope."
Other lawmakers echoed similar concerns.
Hossein Samsami, a lawmaker from Tehran, said poor economic decisions had fueled public anger, pointing to currency instability and price swings.
Separately, Mohammad Amir criticized management in the oil sector, accusing senior officials of treating state companies as personal property.
"Do you know that your managers in the oil companies think these firms are their father’s inheritance?" Amir said, addressing the oil minister.
