#Iran pledges Syria reconstruction as Iranians plunge into poverty irannewswire.org/iran-pledges-s…
With the current inflation in #Iran which the regime puts at 46.5% for food and beverages, 54.9% for transportation, and 52.6% for home appliances, ordinary Iranians have a hard time affording food and other basic goods.
The price of meat has doubled since last year and many people say they have not been able to buy meat for months.

This is while the government has not raised wages to include Iran’s soaring inflation.

 Interesting how #Iran's state-run IRNA news agency is already reporting the attacks "killed and wounded" what it described as "militants."

Tehran is in desperate need to stage a show of force.

Therefore, it's propaganda machine will be bloating this.

Unconfirmed reports are citing this footage, claiming the attack was launched from Iran's western region of Kermanshah, "striking IS positions east of the Euphrates."

With U.S. forces stationed in that area, their reports will be needed.
