Life in Tehran is really tough now. On a spring day I walked down Sanaei Ghaznavi Street and it looked like any other busy street. There are shops that sell food, flowers and fast food.
I met a shopkeeper named Mohammad. He owns a shoe store with his family. They have had this store for a time over 40 years.. Now it is hard for them to keep it open. Mohammad says that business used to be good. Now it is not. A lot of people have lost their jobs. They do not have money to buy things. His father, Mustafa says that this is a problem for many families.
- Many people have lost their jobs
- Businesses are not doing well
- It is hard for people to afford things
A Different View on War
Mohammads store is full of shoes from all around the world even from China.. Now even fake shoes are too expensive for many people. This shows how bad inflation is. He feels stuck. Does not know what to do.
He is worried about what might happen. This shows how frustrated people are. They do not know what to do or how to make things better.
Rising Cost of Living
The cost of living in Tehran is getting higher and higher. I met a woman named Shahla who was buying bread. She said that the price of bread has gone up a lot. Now it is hard for her to afford basic food. She says that life is a struggle every day. Many families in Tehran are having a time paying for the things they need.
Life in Tehran is uncertain. They are trying to survive, not live a life. People like Mohammad and his father are trying to keep their businesses open. It is not easy. The future of Tehran is not clear. People are waiting to see what will happen next. Life in Tehran for people, like Mohammad and Shahla is a struggle.
