US pressure rising on Tehran
The article discusses the deterioration of Iran's economic situation as a result of escalating U.S. sanctions, particularly those restricting oil exports and tightening international financial networks. This has led to a significant drop in oil exports, from around 1.7 million barrels per day a year ago to approximately 260,000 barrels currently. The value of the rial has fallen to over 2.2 million against the dollar, inflation has risen to 69.9%, and the unemployment rate has increased to 9.1%. Additionally, the blockade has caused shortages of gasoline stocks that would only last a few months, leading to a decline in living standards and increased poverty. Iran is increasingly struggling to circumvent the sanctions and faces the risk of potential internal unrest. Currently, Iran is under growing pressure from Washington, with warnings of possible military escalation and ongoing internal economic and political conflicts.
