Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani announced a compensation plan offering up to 80 million rials (about $88) per square meter for repairing homes damaged in recent Israeli strikes, less than one-tenth of Tehran’s market rate of $1,000 per square meter.

Axar.az, citing Iran International, reports that around 3,500 housing units in the capital were affected, adding to the financial burden amid Iran's ongoing economic crisis.

The plan prioritizes repairable homes, but there is no mention of aid for residents outside Tehran, despite reports of widespread destruction.

In contrast, Hezbollah’s leader Naim Qassem stated last year that Iran had provided between $12,000 and $14,000 per displaced Lebanese family following Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, including cash, rent, and household support, totaling $50 million to over 230,000 families, with projections of up to $77 million. However, Asharq Al-Awsat recently reported that Hezbollah paused payments in Beirut’s Dahieh area due to funding shortages.

Historically, prioritizing financial support for regional allies like Hezbollah, the Iranian government often draws domestic criticism for neglecting its own citizens’ needs.
