Iran faces economic crisis with 100% inflation amid war

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Iran is experiencing severe economic hardship, with inflation rates soaring by up to 100% on certain items in a matter of days due to ongoing conflict and a collapsing currency. The war has led to widespread job losses, with a million people reportedly out of work, and has damaged key industries like oil and manufacturing.
