Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi confirmed that Parliament can pass the 2022 budget despite the presence of the caretaker government in power, pointing out that the Financial Management Law allows Parliament to do so.

Al-Tamimi said, "Parliament has the authority to authorize the caretaker government to send the general budget law, because it is related to food security, which is one of the first priorities of the caretaker government."

He added that "the mandate to send the budget requires a vote of the absolute majority of the number of members in Parliament, and that this right is limited only to the budget law exclusively."

Harambe:  Iranian Rial Falls Further As Protests Over Decimated Economy Continue | RFERL

(6/2/22)

Iran's currency, the rial, has continued to weaken as unrest in the country grows over an economy in shambles due to the effects of U.S. sanctions over Tehran's nuclear program.

The value of one U.S. dollar rose on June 1 to as high as 31,500 rials, compared with 28,150 rials a month before, according to the foreign-exchange site Bonbast.com, its lowest level since September 2021. 

The stranglehold of U.S. sanctions along with government mismanagement has led to soaring inflation, high youth unemployment and rising poverty, while recently elected President Ebrahim Raisi's administration has struggled to halt the economic tailspin.

Due to skyrocketing prices and the rial's free fall in recent years, the purchasing power of Iranians has declined rapidly and many in the country of more than 80 million people have had their savings wiped out.

The economic turmoil has sparked protests in the streets of many Iranian cities.

Security forces have arrested protesters and officials have downplayed the unrest, though Raisi has said "hard decisions" on public-sector wages and prices have to be made even if people disagreed.
