Zakani on fixed-price goods Household quotas and access

Sep 29

In this complete published excerpt, Tehran mayor Alireza Zakani frames affordable essential goods as part of serving households during what he calls an economic war with the United States. He says twelve goods have had six-month price guarantees since the previous week, describing prices 5–50 percent below the current market and separately discussing the guaranteed prices of oil and sugar. He says Tehran households can use the household head's national ID on Shahrzad to obtain an allotment based on household size, buying one or up to two months' quota at once. His four-person example gives eight kilograms of rice, 1.6 kilograms of oil, four kilograms of legumes, two kilograms each of soy and meat, and one kilogram of sugar, plus dates. He describes home delivery and in-person purchases at 108 municipal fruit-and-vegetable markets and eleven Shahrvand stores listed on Shahrzad. He promises that the participating markets will double in Aban, taking distribution sites above 200, and that chicken, tomato paste and cheese will join the twelve goods. These are his access, price-guarantee and future-expansion claims; the excerpt does not establish completed expansion or measured household outcomes.

IRINN reports the launch of Tehran's Zero Inflation scheme for twelve essential goods on September 29, 2026, with fixed prices intended for six months through Farvardin 1406. Its October 3 field report shows selected residents' unfamiliarity and skepticism, a price list, household-head national-ID authentication, Shahrzad Level Two registration, and delivery or collection through the platform and municipal markets. Mehdi Chamran advocates bulk purchases without intermediaries; Lotfollah Forouzandeh gives standards and hygiene assurances. Frozen chicken, cheese and tomato paste are planned for Aban. In the October 5 published excerpt, mayor Alireza Zakani says the guarantees began the previous week, describes prices 5–50 percent below the current market while distinguishing oil and sugar's guaranteed prices, and explains monthly or two-month household quotas, with quantities for a family of four. He describes home delivery, 108 participating municipal markets and eleven Shahrvand stores, and reiterates Aban expansion to fifteen goods and more than 200 distribution sites by doubling participating markets. His guarantees and expansion pledge are official claims, not independently measured access, completed expansion or zero general inflation. The September 29 broadcast calls the scheme launched that day while carrying an official statement of Saturday, October 3 availability at participating outlets. The October 3 report again dates the launch to September 29, and Zakani's October 5 account says the previous week. Retain September 29 as the reported launch date; the precise operational onset across outlets is not settled by these accounts.
