The President of Iran is at least holding his own in the battle of political wills and geopolitical influences between his government and that of the Decider(TM). Nonetheless his decision to ration the amount of subsidised petrol an Iranian citizen can purchase may be going too far and could mean the end of public support for him.
Don't we all know that dirt cheap petrol is a God given right? If you doubt me just ask your bog standard American.
On the other hand this could be interpreted as a sign that the country is moving towards more open and unfettered capitalism; after all the concept of subsidised petrol does sound awfully communistic.
