Iran's Economy Faces Strain Despite Sanctions
The article discusses Iran's economic situation amid ongoing international sanctions. Despite a decline in currency value, rising prices, and financial pressures, the economy has not yet collapsed. It indicates that Iran has undergone a gradual adaptation by diversifying trade and domestic production, relying on gold reserves amounting to 45 billion dollars and oil revenues reaching 6 billion dollars. The rial remains an effective currency system despite high inflation. Although economic pressures are intensifying, there remains a chance to avoid a complete collapse thanks to Iran’s resources and its ability to manage liquidity. However, the possibility of widespread unrest cannot be ruled out if pressures continue without political or economic action to prevent collapse or achieve a settlement. The article also emphasizes that a potential collapse would not automatically lead to political change, and the government could suppress protests despite growing public discontent—especially as the ongoing conflict boosts feelings of national solidarity. It underscores the need to offer economic incentives in exchange for continued pressure, aiming to open a diplomatic path to halt the deterioration and serve the interests of external parties.
