DTN News: Gasoline Shortage In Iran Threatens Regime....NSI News Source Info # 878

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 1, 2010: The problem for the regime is that there is no short-term solution to the gas crisis, and all of the conflicts are interconnected and exasperate each other. The discontent will fuel the political activists. The rising fuel prices will cause more workers to be fired or go unpaid just as they face increasing need for income. The bazaar merchants will be hurt as customers become cash-strapped, the cost of products increase, and they have to pay 15 percent more in taxes to the regime that uses violence and intimidation against them. The regime can try to ration the gasoline and reduce subsidies, but the last time that was tried, in 2007, it resulted in burning gas stations.
