The Economist: US sanctions and military blockade have plunged Iran into its most severe economic crisis

According to The Economist, the Iranian rial has lost half its value in a year, inflation has reached 90%, and last month, for the first time since 1979, no oil was shipped for export. The US has supplemented sanctions with a military blockade of ports. Whether the pressure will force Tehran to stop the war now in its eighth month remains unknown.
