Iran Audio Feature: How Significant is the "Chicken Crisis"? Scott Lucas with Monocle 24

Protest over inflation, including food prices, in Neyshabour in northeast Iran, 23 July

I spoke with Monocle 24's The Daily last night about the growing "chicken crisis" in Iran, with prices soaring on the open market and queues growing for the supplies of subsidised poultry that can be found.

The Daily asked, "Will this lead to protests on the streets?" To answer that, we had a 10-minute chat about the political and economic situation.

To listen, open The Daily homepage, open the programme for 27 July, and go to 2:14:43 (near the end of the timeline, but showing as "14:43").
