Sharp criticism in Iran: Member of Parliament defines vehicle price hikes as illegal

Tension surrounding vehicle prices in Iran: Allegations of illegality

In a report published on خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, a channel identified with ongoing news reports and internal Iranian politics, sharp criticism was voiced by Industry Committee member Haddadi regarding the pricing policy of local car manufacturers.

According to Haddadi, as quoted on the channel, any price increase by car manufacturers requires a legal process and explicit approval from the Competition Council. The Member of Parliament emphasized that "both last year and this year, the price increases that were carried out were illegal" and called on the council to intervene immediately to stop the trend.

In addition to the claims of illegality, the criticism is also directed at the quality of production. Haddadi noted that local car manufacturers "have failed to adapt themselves to global standards," a fact that deepens public frustration surrounding the cost of vehicles in the country.

The issue was also raised on آخرین قیمت, a channel focusing on price and market updates, which indicates the significant interest the Iranian public attaches to the price stability of basic products in the face of the government's regulatory rules.
