Long lines to buy meat illustrate Iran's economic woes:
In the frigid air of a Tehran winter, a mother of two stands in a long line of shoppers waiting for the chance to buy discounted meat at a store supported by Iran’s government.
“Yesterday, after nearly two hours in the line, the shopkeeper said: ‘It is finished, try another day,’” Zahra Akrami said recently. “And now I am here again.”
Her struggle represents the economic paradox that faces Iran as it marks the 40th anniversary of its Islamic Revolution.
