The Iranian government is offering its citizens $7 monthly in a bid to quell nationwide protests and riots over rising prices.

Iran has faced one of its worst protest movements of recent years, this time triggered by the plummeting value of Iran’s rial currency. Hoping to attack the root of the problem, government spokeswoman Fatma Mokhgarani unveiled a new stimulus payment scheme to be sent to all Iranian citizens, totalling 1 million tomans per month — the equivalent of about $7.
