Iran regime maintains financing amid war and sanctions

Despite an ongoing war with the United States and intensified international sanctions, Iran's regime continues to secure liquidity and fund its military operations. Recent U.S. strikes have targeted Iranian sites, while Iranian forces have launched attacks on facilities in Gulf states. The conflict has also crippled ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, bringing maritime commerce to a near halt. A German‑language podcast explains how the regime sustains its finances under these pressures, detailing revenue streams and the expected duration of the economic strain.

The episode also revisits the 1944 German resistance plot against Hitler, featuring interviews with the surviving children of the conspirators, illustrating how historical narratives are interwoven with contemporary analysis.
