Why Iran Is Broke AF (Despite Oil)

The Real Reason Iran Is Still Poor (Despite Oil)

In 2011, the Iranian rial was 10,000 to one US dollar. Today? Over 600,000. This dramatic 98% currency devaluation is a stark illustration of Iran's severe economic crisis, despite its vast oil and gas reserves. This situation is a critical piece of Iran news and international news, highlighting a significant challenge in the global economy.

This is the story of how you build a country entirely around a resource — and then lose access to the money that resource is supposed to generate. Ghost fleets. Three exchange rates. A subsidy system the government can't afford to keep and can't afford to cut. And a trap loop so well-designed it practically runs itself. The oil is there. The money isn't.
