Iran faces economic collapse amid war and political upheaval
Iran is facing a severe economic collapse driven by a five-month war with the United States and Israel, alongside years of international sanctions and government mismanagement. Rapidly rising inflation and a falling currency have drastically reduced purchasing power, leaving citizens struggling to afford even basic necessities like fruit and dairy products.
The conflict has also resulted in significant political upheaval. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was reportedly killed by American and Israeli airstrikes on the first day of the war. This follows widespread protests across all 31 provinces in late December, which analysts described as the greatest threat to the Islamic regime since the 1979 revolution. Human rights organizations have documented more than 6,000 deaths during the violent suppression of these protests by security forces.
