Structural sanctions and geopolitical conflict drive economic collapse in Iran

Economic research shows that sanctions disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations, increasing poverty and inequality. Studies from the World Bank and IMF highlight the long-term developmental costs of such policies.
The economic crisis in Iran is not a sudden consequence of recent conflict but a systemic outcome of long-standing geopolitical strategies.
Indigenous and cross-cultural economic practices offer viable alternatives to Western-dominated models, while scientific evidence underscores the human cost of sanctions. By integrating marginalized voices, historical insights, and future modeling, Iran can develop a multifaceted response that includes regional cooperation, digital innovation, and legal advocacy. This systemic approach recognizes the complexity of the crisis and offers a path toward sustainable economic resilience.
