Iran's Economy Has Collapsed

[T. A. Gardner]

30 individual states have a bigger GDP than Iran. Arizona, where I'm from has twice the GDP of Iran, and it ranks 15th.

If it were up to me, I would order the Iranian economy wrecked. Pummel all the cement factories into rubble. Bomb every power substation in the country into the ground. Send in some spec ops types to destroy all the major transmission lines. Go harbor to harbor and sink everything larger than a rowboat. Take down every major bridge in the country then crater every road leading into Iran for miles.

Let's see how Iran acts after there's little food, no electricity, no serious construction materials, no modern communications, and the country is reduced to using donkey carts.

sounds like more CIA lies.

its fascism for the government to mandate a switch to solar panels, for instance.

So having decentralized electrical production is now fascism? But having government control all electricity is not fascism?

On May 5, 2026, the US Dollar to Iranian Rial (USD/IRR) exchange rate in the free market was approximately 1,831,500 – 1,844,000 Rials.

The Wall Street Mafia manipulates their currency......do you think that they expected this to happen......and made arrangements?

FAFO....they (the Regime ) are on the verge of being butchered by their own citizens....

Iran's economy is in a severe, rapidly accelerating collapse as of April 2026, driven by a strict US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, crippling sanctions, and infrastructure damage from recent war. Inflation is officially around 68%, the rial is in freefall, and food prices are soaring, leading to a humanitarian crisis and immense daily pressure on households.

Key Aspects of the Collapse:

• Blockade and Energy Crisis: The US-led blockade has paralyzed Iranian oil exports, costing approximately $435 million a day in economic damage. This has cut off Iran’s primary source of revenue and severely limited foreign exchange reserves.
• Currency and Inflation: The Rial has devalued drastically, with the dollar trading at roughly 155,000 tomans. This has led to triple-digit food inflation and a massive 90% drop in purchasing power, as discussed in (source: National Council of Resistance of Iran - NCRI).
• Infrastructure Destruction: Attacks on critical facilities, including petrochemical plants in Asaluyeh and Mahshahr, have halted around 85% of petrochemical exports. Total economic damage could reach up to 40% of GDP, say Fox News and CNBC based on expert analysis, as reported by the FDD and CNBC.
• Social Impact: A severe humanitarian crisis is brewing, with shortages of basic goods, rising costs for essential services, and a decline in living standards, notes NCRI and Iran International.
• Long-term Outlook: Analysts suggest this is the deepest crisis in modern Iranian history, with potential long-term oil revenue losses of $14 billion annually. The government is using the conflict to justify the economic downturn, but faces potential collapse from continued pressure.

It's not "fascism," but it is stupidity. A decentralized grid is inefficient and grossly expensive.

You are as stupid as Trump. There are 477 power stations. How many deaths would you be willing to have on your hands? Then the absence of power would kill more.Trump wants to take out their bridges too. I am sure you would enjoy that . It's only a war crime, but that will not bother you, Trumpys. We can pile up bodies for your pleasure. The 100 school girls were not enough for you.
