Iran's issues are literally because of US imperialism. Their economy isn't doing great because of insane illegal sanctions, and their paranoia comes from having been under siege their whole existence. I believe things will get a lot better for Iranians after the aggressors leave the region.

The economic issues were a direct result of US foreign policy.

​In a January 2026 interview at the World Economic Forum and his February testimony before Congress, Scott Bessent took credit for engineering a "dollar shortage" that triggered a currency crisis and mass protests in Iran.

Bessent used phrases such as "Making Iran broke again" and described the resulting economic turmoil as "economic statecraft with no shots fired."

Through sanctions, the dollar shortage and currency crisis/hyperinflation led to the collapse of one of Iran's major banks, which led to the protests prior to the war starting.

I get that a lot of things are fucked up there from economy to freedoms, but boy that's nowhere close to what the US/Palestine occupiers are trying to do to them.

It wasn't always so...
