Why America Struggles Against Iran
The article indicates that the United States is unable to completely suffocate the Iranian economy despite imposing extensive sanctions and targeting its infrastructure and financial networks. Iran has been able to adapt and circumvent these sanctions through diversifying its income sources, stockpiling reserves, and shifting the economic burden onto its citizens. It continues to support its non-oil industries despite the challenges. Although macroeconomic indicators have deteriorated, some production has halted, and consumer demand has declined, Iran has managed to maintain its military capabilities and continue the war effort. This resilience is based on a "resistance economy" strategy that reduces reliance on imports and increases dependence on stored reserves, while resisting the constraints of the traditional economy. The core challenges lie in addressing weaknesses in the balance of payments, particularly the ongoing need for imports. Maintaining stockpiles and implementing flexible economic strategies remain key to Iran’s survival amidst the pressures of sanctions and blockade.
