Why it matters:
Rumors of extreme inflation can fuel public anxiety and worsen economic volatility. The government is focusing on liquidity control, budget discipline, and gradual inflation reduction.
Media outlets are key players in the “narrative war,” helping stabilize public perception.
By the numbers:
According to the latest statistics released by Iran's Central Bank regarding the Consumer Price Index (inflation rate), in Iran’s urban areas up to the end of November 2025, the 12‑month change compared to the same period of the previous year was recorded at 41 percent.
Based on the published data, the point‑to‑point inflation rate in November 2025 was approximately 47.6 percent, while in November of the previous year it stood at 35.9 percent, the lowest level in the past 12 months
What she is saying:
Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani:
“Iran is engaged in a multi‑layered, multi‑dimensional struggle.”
“Some figures merely create psychological preparation.”
“Economic models at the Ministry of Economy do not confirm the scenario of 300% hyperinflation.”
