number of banks that have been set on fire as well as gas stations in other major cities such as shiraz and meshad and that is really where the point of contention is the authorities are saying these people that are taking part in these demonstrations are not ordinary iranians but they are elements within iran that are being fueled by outside forces they're being encouraged to increase the unrest in the country it's not really reflective of what is going on with the ordinary iranian but in terms of how ordinary iranians feel we've spoken to a number of people and they say that even though they do recognize they need help from the government in the subsidies that $20000000.00 have already received in their bank accounts as of monday morning it's not going to be enough to really counter the over 40 percent inflation that is going on and the high unemployment rate that sits at about 14 percent the reason the government is doing this has said is because of the intense economic pressure iran finds itself under as a result of the united states withdrawing from the nuclear deal last year and i
