Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The economic crisis is driven by persistent inflation, the steady depreciation of the rial, and international sanctions. Trade has been disrupted by a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which impede shipping and curtail oil exports and imports.

Both Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Farda reported on the US strikes on Iran, which followed orders from Donald Trump.
