Removal of heavy subsidies has sparked colossal hikes in the price of oil and utilities in Iran, possibly throwing its troubled economy into chaos and spurring renewed street protests.

 Police already have arrested one economist for opposing the removal of subsidies.The price of gasoline jumped by 600 percent and more within days after last week’s announcement by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that state subsidies are being overhauled in order to prevent spiraling inflation.

However, the removal of subsidies has had the opposite effect, and the Washington Post reported that some truck drivers have protested by a work stoppage.Although Ahmadinejad has cut subsidies, he has retained price controls, meaning that while the cost of bread has tripled, sandwich sellers cannot raise prices.

Despite the sharp rise in gasoline prices, the government allowed only an 8 percent hike in taxi fares.He has ordered the feared police militia to make sure merchants do not charge beyond the allowed prices.Price hikes in the 1990s spurred riots that were quelled with the use of helicopter gunners. The government already has warned that opponents of the new economic policy will be treated as rebels.Iranian police arrested economist Fariborz Raeis Dana after he told the BBC that the subsidy cuts are a "hallucination" because they will worsen poverty and unemployment.

The removal of the subsidies means that “at least one major part of the Islamist Revolution is begining to fall apart, CBS Marketwatch reported Tuesday.  Ahmadinejad for years has been a champion of “tax the rich and help the poor,” but the drastic move of removing most of the subsidies will drastically hurt merchants in all sectors of society. Some factories have stopped operating, causing more unemployment, which is estimated at between 12 and 22 percent, coupled with inflation of approximately 20 percent.

Coupled with crippling sanctions imposed by most of the international community, a continuing adverse effect on the economy by Ahmadinejad’s latest policies could spur the anti-government turmoil that the

United States has been hoping for, Fox News reported Monday.The Obama administration is turning up the pressure on Iran, announcing last week new sanctions on banks that are linked with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, a major owner of the country’s factories and oil facilities.

The United States has flatly denied an Iranian boast that it downed American drones, raising more doubts on dozens of Iranian claims of military successes.

The New York Times' Roger Cohen went so far as to call Iran a "paper tiger" last year.Iranian Revolutionary Guards Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh boasted earlier this week the Guards have downed ”many” drones, including two over the Straits of Hormuz, which Iran calls the Persian Gulf.

However, no video footage of the planes was displayed, and the Guards did not say precisely where and when the drones were downed.Pentagon spokesman Dave Lapan responded by saying that there were "no recent reports that would corroborate what the Revolutionary Guard said about unmanned aerial vehicles."

He said that several drones may have crashed due to technical problems, which would explain Iran’s claim that it has downed drones in its possession and is reproducing them for its own surveillance.

The Canadian National Post’s Matt Gurney commented, “While the loss of a $10-million drone would be an irritant and a setback to any Western nation with an interest in monitoring the Iranian regime, it is still a far better thing to lose a drone than to lose a manned aircraft.

  “Despite its bluster and bravado, the fact remains that Iran can never shoot down enough cheap, easily replaced drones to seriously affect the West’s ability to spy on its military programs. Whether or not anyone chooses to act on the knowledge gained, of course, is another question.Last August, Iran showed off its first domestically produced drone, which it called an "ambassador of death".

The Guards said it has a range of 620 miles and can carry a precision bomb weighing as much as 500 pounds.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has spent billions of dollars to advanced Iran’s capabilities on the sea, ground and air.

The heavy expenditures, along with hyper inflation and economic damage as a result of Western sanctions, have forced drastic measures such as removing subsides that may weaken his regime in the face of renewed public protests.

The government last week arrested one economist who publicly questioned Ahmadinejad’s economic policies
