Can Iran’s economic crisis be fixed? | Counting the Cost

Описание: US pressure on Iran is intensifying. Iranians have taken to the streets as inflation rises, the currency slides and sanctions bite. So, who's to blame for the crisis? And can it be fixed?

In Iran, the currency, the rial, has fallen to record lows against the dollar, sparking a wave of protests in the capital, Tehran, and other cities.

Iran's economy is struggling with inflation and Western sanctions linked to its nuclear programme, which are dragging down growth.

The government says it is taking measures to help ease the economic pain and appease protesters. However, the Iranian leadership accuses foreign powers such as Israel and the US of driving the unrest and has long warned that Western nations aim to topple it.
