Reasons Trump's sanctions failed on Iran
Iran faced a severe economic downturn before the start of American and Israeli sanctions, characterized by a decline in gross domestic product, high inflation, and the rial reaching its lowest value against the dollar. Inflation surged to 87.9%, and the country was hit by restrictions on oil exports and a shortage of dollars. Despite this, the sanctions did not lead to a complete collapse, as Iran relies on support from China, the largest importer of Iranian oil, and employs land routes and railways to strengthen its resilience against sanctions. The country also receives international support from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Although economic losses reached $270 billion by April 2026, Iran is moving towards increased resistance and developing relations with its neighbors, attempting to reduce dependence on oil. It is expected that Iran will remain capable of facing economic pressures despite the high costs on the Iranian people's living conditions.
