US sows chaos in Iran

Iran's economy is currently under significant strain due to Donald Trump’s renewed “maximum pressure” campaign, as nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain stalled.

Since returning to the White House, Trump has taken a hardline stance, reinstating tough sanctions and demanding that Iran fully dismantle its nuclear program—a condition the Iranian government continues to reject.

In recent weeks, U.S. diplomacy has hardened, pushing for stricter terms while Tehran insists its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only.

“The reality is that our economy reacts intensely to political developments. If the possibility of a full-scale war rises again, the dollar rate will once again break records,” warned Kamal Seyyed-Ali, former deputy head of Iran’s central bank.

Internally, Iran faces widespread power outages, driven by both surging energy demand and the country’s aging infrastructure.

Adding further pressure, Trump has threatened to cut off any country or entity that buys Iranian oil from doing business with the United States, tightening Tehran's economic isolation.
