Iran's Economic Crisis Deepens Amid Prolonged Conflict and Uncertain Resolution
Iran faces a severe economic crisis amid ongoing conflict, with its currency sharply devalued due to intensified US sanctions and a naval blockade restricting oil exports. Domestic protests over rising living costs and salary issues have increased. Meanwhile, former US Middle East coordinator Brett McGurk warns the conflict may extend beyond President Trump's term, with no clear resolution in sight unless Iran's political system undergoes fundamental change. The situation remains complex, involving economic pressure and intermittent military actions.
