Iran doubles petrol prices amid US pressure and war shortages

Iran has announced a sharp increase in petrol prices, doubling them as part of its war economy, according to reports from September 2026. The move comes as the country faces shortages triggered by a US war, alongside ongoing economic pressure from Washington. Canada has also vowed to maintain economic pressure on Iran, aligning with US efforts. Despite these challenges, Iran reported that its wheat production has exceeded 14 million tons, and it unveiled new domestically-developed antivirus software.
