Hemmati: The government will curb the exploitation of wartime conditions

Against the backdrop of ongoing economic instability, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Abdolnasser Hemmati, addressed the sharp rise in prices in the country today (May 5, 2026). According to Hemmati, there are factors exploiting "wartime conditions" to reap profits at the expense of citizens, but he promised that the government is taking the necessary steps to "control the situation."

In reports published in خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاקره ࡆ جنگ فوری and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, the governor noted that the current price level is unacceptable and that the economic pressures stem directly from the flare-up of the security situation. Hemmati emphasized that the market will gradually return to calm as government measures stabilize.

These sources, identified with news channels close to the Iranian establishment, present Hemmati's statements as part of an attempt to calm the markets and moderate public criticism of the soaring inflation. The central message coming out of the Central Bank is that this is a temporary phenomenon that will be dealt with through tight central management.
