Iran faces economic hardship as UN sanctions return

Iran faces a "suffocating embargo" as UN sanctions, previously lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, have been reinstated via the snapback mechanism. Triggered by European powers over Iran's non-compliance with the nuclear deal, these measures are expected to severely impact the economy, leading to currency collapse and inflation. Diplomacy is offered, but Iran's leadership rejects talks, fearing internal backlash and the potential dismantling of its nuclear and missile programs.
