Iran's economic situation has deteriorated sharply over the past 100 days, marked by protests and a conflict that began on February 28, involving the United States and Israel. The unrest, which started in December 2025, has led to significant job losses, with millions now unemployed. The services sector, particularly advertising, consulting, and tourism, has been heavily impacted, with many businesses unable to recover. Internet disruptions have further crippled the digital economy, affecting over 10 million workers. Key industries like petrochemicals and steel have also suffered, leading to raw material shortages and widespread layoffs. Exports have plummeted, with total war-related losses reaching an estimated $270 billion, about 57% of Iran's GDP. This economic turmoil has resulted in stagflation, characterized by high inflation and rising unemployment. Inflation rates have skyrocketed, with essential items seeing price increases of over 110%. As public frustration grows, many fear that without political solutions, protests may reignite, potentially leading to larger unrest.
