US Sanctions Widen Iran's Economic Crisis Amid 66% Inflation

Tehran is grappling with an economic crisis as trade dwindles, inflation surges to 66% in 2025, and Washington tightens its financial grip. The Iranian leadership acknowledges that US sanctions imposed after the conflict have had a significant impact on the national economy.

The country's authorities have identified key priorities: curbing inflation, monitoring markets, creating new jobs, supporting domestic production, and attracting investment. Gradually reducing the economy's dependence on the US dollar is also an objective.

Despite the dire situation, Iran vows to resist US pressure and maintain diplomatic channels. The country emphasizes control over the Strait of Hormuz as a source of leverage in its relations with the United States.
