> Iran has raised petrol prices again as declining revenues strain its costly subsidy system. The first 60 litres a month remain at the existing rate, but the next 50 litres for motorists using more than 110 litres will cost 100,000 rials per litre, double the previous price. Reported queues in Tehran and fears of further increases are fuelling unrest concerns.
