Coup is real otherwise someone please explain where the 110-115 Billion USD worth export money went against almost half the government expenses+imports. Trade surplus that government earned last years did not reach Bank Merkazi. IRGC controls 1000 ship strong oil fleet and they have high numbers of offshore accounts, assets. One needs to be a special type of fool to believe that someone siphoned off the money and IRGC did not know. Rohani era inflation was also self induced so is current one because oil never stopped flowing out and government is not spending much so where exactly is the money going?
What money are you really talking about? Iran's current account balance is positive, but it's not as big as you claim. From 2022 to 2025, Iran had an average surplus of USD 13 to 14 billion. This indicates that the country's balance of payments is in the green. Typically, this surplus is either kept in the Merkez Bank as a reserve, which you say isn't happening, or it can be moved to different accounts, like offshore ones.
Based on this, you think that anti-Islamist members of the establishment are using these resources to plan a coup.
Just to clarify:
There’s no evidence to support your claims. The question is, why would they do this if they’re already trying/planning to overthrow the system?
There are also a few other points you seem to overlook, even though I’m pretty sure you’re subconsciously aware of them.
To put it simply: Iran is a very costly country for any leader, regime, or royal house in power to rule over.
With over 90 million citizens, a large land area, and a very hostile and complicated geography/topography, plus the active global sanctions that make imports much more expensive, since every good and every sanctioned product has to change hands multiple times before reaching Iran, you’ll see that the number you’ve been repeating for weeks isn’t as reliable and trustworthy as you think. Don’t forget that governments also have shadow budgets that aren’t reflected in official records.
Just Syria has cost Iran between 30 to 50 billion USD. What about money for Hezbelloh, Iraqi proxies, Houthis and even Venezuela?
Sure, the IRGC might have taken a few billion here and there, but when you add rampant corruption to the mix, you’ll realize that your 100-billion-dollar argument lacks a solid foundation. It is more like wishful thinking.
Its not news. Turkey's half GDP is Western-Jew debt so they support Israel fully (6 Billion USD worth raw material, oil supply, appointing Jolani to cut Iraq from Hezbollah so Israel takes over lebanon). They are more stuck than us. Their people aint bad, the system is so deeply gripped that its not easy to leave it. Each to their own.
Turkey is among the countries with the least debt in the Western World, NATO, and the EU.

It is literally your weakest argument.
