Israel’s Foreign Ministry mocked comments by an Iranian MP who linked price hikes in Iran to statements by Netanyahu, calling it a sign of “helplessness”.
Fatemeh Maghsoudi had claimed prices jump whenever Netanyahu or Trump speak.
The MP argued that no specific economic event occurred, yet the market fluctuates with political news.
Israel interpreted these remarks as an admission of the Islamic Republic’s inability to manage the economy.
Rising prices of gold and currency have put immense pressure on the Iranian public recently.
Iran’s market has become highly sensitive to foreign political developments.
