Leader Calls for Steps to Ease Financial Burden on People

Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei urged officials on Wednesday to take serious, practical steps to ease people's financial strains and prove to the enemy that the tool of sanctions have become blunt.
"The rising prices and the drop in purchasing power of a large number of people, particularly those from lower income classes, have put pressure on them," the Leader said in a meeting with the heads of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government in Tehran, his official website reported.
