The economic war waged by the Americans is taking its toll."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By <strong>Markus Somm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Facts:<\/strong> As a result of the U.S. blockade, Iran is losing $400 million to $500 million in revenue every day.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> This country will soon collapse\u2014and with it, its lousy regime.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who follows the <strong>Western media<\/strong> almost inevitably gets the impression that Iran must be a <strong>wonderland<\/strong>. <strong>Ayatollah in Wonderland.<\/strong> Although the Americans have been sanctioning, blockading, and bombing Iran for months, it seems unsinkable\u2014just like the <strong>Titanic<\/strong> once was.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Until the <strong>iceberg<\/strong> came.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And in the case of the Islamist caliphate, that would likely be the <strong>economy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inflation<\/strong> has reached astronomical levels, <strong>unemployment<\/strong> has soared to staggering heights, and <strong>food shortages<\/strong> have hit rock bottom. Unless a <strong>famine<\/strong> breaks out soon, the mullahs must truly have privileged access to God.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the <strong>value of the currency<\/strong> has plummeted:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To buy one <strong>dollar<\/strong>, an Iranian now has to count out more than <strong>2 million rials<\/strong> <strong><em>to shell out<\/em><\/strong> \u2014though it seems questionable whether \u201cshell out\u201d is still the right term. They\u2019d need a <strong>bulldozer<\/strong> to haul in the necessary bills. For a single dollar!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In January, the exchange rate was still <strong>1.4 million to one dollar<\/strong>; it was 750,000 in 2024 and 70,000 to one dollar in 2018\u2014shortly after <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> withdrew from the Iran deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Iranian currency has not yet plummeted as far as the <strong>German<\/strong> <strong>mark<\/strong> did in the 1920s\u2014when, at its lowest point in November 1923, one dollar was worth <strong>4.2 trillion marks<\/strong> \u2014it is well on its way there.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, <strong>by all human standards, Iran cannot hold out much longer.<\/strong> The American blockade\u2014particularly of Iranian ports, aimed at preventing any oil exports\u2014is having an impact, even if most Western journalists do not seem to realize it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, the <strong>head of the Iranian Central Bank<\/strong> admitted that Iranian oil exports had dropped to zero. <strong>Zero point zero.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For that reason alone, Iran is losing <strong>$400 million to $500 million<\/strong> in revenue every single day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Money it <strong>desperately needed<\/strong> \u2014for weapons, ammunition, missiles, and, most recently, food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There has long been no question of <strong>food security<\/strong> in Iran. There is a shortage of everything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact <strong>that<\/strong> the Iranian people have not yet overthrown the regime shows just how paralyzed they still are. From the regime\u2019s perspective, the <strong>massacres<\/strong> it carried out against its own people in January to <strong>crush<\/strong> the numerous, powerful demonstrations have \u201cpaid off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>henchmen<\/strong>, <strong>torturers<\/strong>, and <strong>state-sanctioned killers<\/strong> have done a thorough job\u2014so much so that today, no Iranian dares to start another uprising. Or to put it another way: <strong>Anyone who was a dissident and brave is long dead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to various estimates, the regime had between <strong>7,000<\/strong> and <strong>20,000 demonstrators<\/strong> killed in January 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, the regime <strong>is faltering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As can be seen from the <strong>official statements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>None other than Iranian President <strong>Massud Peseschkian<\/strong> stated last Friday:<br\/><strong>\u201cThe war must end at some point<\/strong>,<strong>\u201d<\/strong> and confirmed that Iran is suffering from economic hardships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just one day earlier, Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator <strong>Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf<\/strong> had already admitted:<br\/>\u201cNo matter how much military power we have, if the people are <strong>hungry<\/strong> and we <strong>no<\/strong> longer have a financial cycle, <strong>economic growth<\/strong>, or domestic production, we will not survive.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that these politicians dare to share such <strong>bad news<\/strong> with the public reveals just how hopeless the situation must be. No one can overlook it. Everyone knows it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seen in this light, the Americans are <strong>finally<\/strong> doing <strong>the right thing<\/strong>. They are now resolutely taking the steps they should have taken back in February: They are imposing on Iran what is likely the <strong>most comprehensive boycott<\/strong> any country has ever had to endure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the media for this purpose and declared all-out economic war, referring to it as an <strong>\u201ceconomic D-Day.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Iran&#8217;s banks, Iran&#8217;s exports, Iran&#8217;s imports, Iran&#8217;s travel:<\/strong> all of this will be blocked by the U.S. in the future, and Bessent warned that any country that helps Iran circumvent the boycotts would face a kind <strong>of economic Armageddon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With one exception\u2014Trump\u2019s Achilles\u2019 heel: <strong>China<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Although the <strong>communists<\/strong> there have long since revealed themselves to be Iran\u2019s most loyal allies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be interesting to see how much longer Trump will let his supposedly \u201cgood friend\u201d <strong>Xi Jinping<\/strong> lead him by the nose.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zero point zero.<\/strong> As long as Iran can barely sell any oil, the regime is nevertheless <strong>doomed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Americans just need patience\u2014something their president, as is well known, possesses only in micro-doses.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, to quote <strong>Leo Tolstoy<\/strong>, the great Russian writer:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe two most powerful warriors are <strong>patience<\/strong> and <strong>time<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Markus Somm is the editor-in-chief of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nebelspalter.ch\" title=\"\">*Nebelspalter<\/a>*.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Markus Somm The Facts: As a result of the U.S. blockade, Iran is losing $400 million to $500 million in revenue every day.
