yes that's how the sheep see it.
but in reality this is how the gov can balance it's budget
without raising fuel or other commodity prices.it's basically
a tax on the rich since the central bank holds the $$$ it sells
to the public.
Apparently you're no smarter than the sheep. It's not a tax on the rich. It's a tax on consumers and importers. The vast majority of Iranians including the poorest are consumers and import-buyers.
And clearly, it's no longer in complete control of the central bank as it doesn't possess enough dollars to even temporarily tame the market.
People of Iran should stop looking at their government as this capable and willing entity that morons like Rohani want to portray. Fact is, the government is one of the weakest and most lethargic links in the economic cycle of Iran. It needs to shrink by a massive factor.
