The Islamic Republic of Iran is currently in a difficult position due to heavy US sanctions. The country is on the verge of sinking, especially in the economic sense, and historically there have been political and social crises. The main reason for these events, or at least the thing that pitted Iran against the Western world, was Iran’s nuclear projects. Although these projects, which gained momentum during the reign of Ahmadi Nejad, have no effect on Iran, they have become isolated in the world and have increased.
Iran has invested millions of dollars and years in this endeavor, and in the end, did not make enough money to provide electricity to a single house. Whatever happened, there were sanctions and political pressure.
However, the historic rise in oil prices, especially during the Ahmadi Nejad era, kept Iran’s hand open. The Tehran regime was severely sanctioned under Obama, and discussions began with Rouhani’s inauguration. The end of these talks was an agreement called Barjam, under which Iran would strike its nuclear work somewhere and sanctions would be lifted in return.
When Trump came to power, everything started all over again. The United States withdrew from the Barjam agreement, and sanctions against Iran came again and stronger. Iran, which is on a new terrorist front in the world every day, was spending oil money to spread in the region, not inside.
At the end of the day, Iran came to the end of the road, which had previously changed significantly with American policy. The economy collapsed, and the country suffered losses in a way that was comfortable and perhaps irreparable.
Now America has less than two weeks to choose. Although there are different voices from Iran, it is not possible to see a reference as open as before. It is clear that Iran does not want Trump to be re-elected. Trump has said he will step up pressure on Iran and promised to hold talks as soon as he is re-elected. It is clear how possible this is and what is behind it, but when you look inside Iran, it is not clear who will come and who will change.
In his spiritual period, Barjam was called a great political success. Many countries in the world have begun to show that they can work with Iran again, but when it comes to the economy, the situation is quite the opposite. Although the authorities in Tehran were happy with Barjam and turned it into a political show, the issue did not lead to a serious inflow of foreign investment or slow down the rise in prices. In the end, the so-called victory of the government was nothing but a disaster for the nation. Now the situation is even worse. Iran has been seriously weakened over the years by heavy sanctions. The power of the government in the country and in the region has been seriously damaged. If all this shows that, in fact, whoever is elected in America, it does not seem very likely that there will be a correction in the case of Iran. In fact, this despair can be clearly seen in both the government and the nation. Looking at Iran’s general atmosphere, no one has any hope that the situation will improve with the departure of Trump, for example. It is also a dangerous violation of the relationship between the nation and the government. There was serious dissatisfaction among the nation, especially for economic reasons. It is also a matter of time before the protests, which exploded in Aban last year after the rise in petrol prices and spread rapidly across the country.
