I assume that the economic conditions are caused by the sanctions designed to force Iran to give up their nuclear ambitions? But that only works if the country actually cares about its people. Iran seems content to let them suffer (or kill them themselves). Is Iran destined to become the next North Korea? Will their oil save them from that?




Nevermind that Iran's nuclear ambitions had already been kept in check by a thorough program of inspections. Trump walked back on that, because the sanctions are an end in itself.

This is incorrect. For example, the deal with Iran did not allow for surprise inspections.


Bad example, the US has historically accommodated polities that refuse surprise inspections.

No, that's the regime's excuse. Most electricity in the country is used by the regime to mine crypto (!).
