Iran's Currency Plunges: Sanctions? What Sanctions?
The article dissects Iran's currency collapse (reported by Al-Monitor, Dec 2025), citing the judiciary's rebuke of the central bank. It's cast as a tale of political accountability and regime stability, overlooking the impact of 'maximum pressure' sanctions imposed and intensified by the US, which have cratered Iran's economy and blocked vital foreign currency access. One might wonder how any
nation's economy thrives under sustained, unilateral economic warfare—or why that fact rarely makes the headline. This 'factional blame game' narrative conveniently shifts focus from the external strangulation tactics to internal squabbles. It's almost as if some narratives prefer to ignore the elephant stomping through the room, preferring to quibble about how the wallpaper is peeling. Remember,
the same playbook was used against Iraq before... well, you know.
