Extremist hardliners have taken control of the country. For forty days, the internet has been almost completely cut off for more than ninety percent of the population, while access is sold on the black market at outrageous prices. Countless online businesses have collapsed. Unemployment is rising, companies are laying off workers, and families are being forced to sell their gold savings just to survive.

People are powerless in the face of inflation and joblessness. No one can start a business, and no company has the ability to hire. Meanwhile, neighboring countries—including the UAE, once one of Iran’s largest trading partners-are canceling residency visas and deporting Iranians.

Executions continue, and almost every day brings news of another young life taken. The regime uses its own people as a shield while spending their money on bombs and missiles.
Iran stands in its most fragile moment. If this path continues, the result will be a poor, isolated nation.
