Iranians groan under economic pressures… while the regime doubles the military budget by 200%.

The Iranian people are facing unprecedented economic pressures these days amid escalating tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States. At the same time, Tehran has significantly increased its military budget to bolster its defenses and regional influence.

Since Masoud Pezeshkian took office as Iran’s president, the national currency has lost half of its value.

With the unemployment rate exceeding 70%, millions of Iranians are now struggling to meet their basic needs, as hyperinflation and poverty have overwhelmed their lives.

This sharp decline in the national currency’s value has driven inflation above 40%, with food prices in some cases rising by 100%.

As the crisis worsens, economic pressure on Iranians is expected to increase even further in the coming months.
