Iran Audio Feature: The Gathering Economic Storm --- Scott Lucas with Monocle 24


             

 DateWednesday, September 12, 2012 at 8:33 | AuthorScott Lucas in ,

When President Ahmadinejad speaks about drought being caused by the "West" destroying clouds before they can bring rain to Iran, when words like "currency" and "gold" are blocked in SMS texts, and when a Minister says the rising cost of milk and chicken is not a sign of general inflation, you know something is up with the Islamic Republic's economy.

That's the opening to my interview with Monocle 24's The Daily last night. We took a longer look at the economic issues, the effect on Iran's foreign as well as its domestic policy, and the prospect of a public rising in reaction to the difficulties.

To get to the item, open the homepage of The Daily, click on the programme for 11/9, and go to the 8:22 mark.
