Iran Under Pressure: Economic Strain, Political Stability, and Regional Risk.

Описание: In this episode, Professor Djavad Salehi-Isfahani breaks down how prolonged economic pressure has reshaped Iran’s political economy.

We explore:

• How comprehensive sanctions since 2011 constrained oil revenues and weakened fiscal capacity
• Why inflation and currency depreciation have reinforced one another over time
• The impact of economic hardship on poverty, the middle class, and youth prospects
• Why sustained economic pressure has not led to political collapse
• How ideology, institutional control, and fear of instability contribute to regime resilience
• What Iran’s experience reveals about the limits of economic coercion as a tool of statecraft

This conversation offers a deeper look at the intersection of economics, politics, and international pressure - and what the Iranian case tells us about the real-world consequences of sanctions.
