Reports from within regime’s organs:
Tehran, Jan. 2, 2011

In Tehran’s and other cities’ Baazar there is not enough food and people are referring to whole-sellers”.

Transportation of goods from their entrances towards Tehran and centers of other provinces is disrupted. Bandar Abbas custom’s bureaucracy and stores are out of their normal order because the goods are not evacuated from the stores. The cost for transportation of goods has risen more than 3 times…Truck Union is about to announce national strike. The ministry of intelligence has threatened some of the officials of the union to prevent this strike”.
