Iran Economy

[Hack-Hook]

what exactly am I looking at

Different rail road gauge in south Asia, that made transferring good by rail road unnecessarily complicated.
Look englan in Britain while it was a separate island use international gauge but in India and Pakistan use a different gauge that nowhere else in the world they use
Like look at India that use 5 different gauge in different parts of the country

now China is investing a lot in Pakistan and Afghanistan

we use same rail road gauge as China but Pakistan and Afghanistan use different one

If China build compatible rails in Pakistan or Afghanistan suddenly we can link them to Europe and other places

Actually Afghanistan before this didn't had much of rail road and all new railroad are standard gauge.
For example the railroad that connect harat to Iran is standard international rail road.
About Pakistan they decide build new railroad based on older gauge .

And its actual gdp change

 

[Persian Gulf]

Iran's monthly crude oil exports reached highest level of 2025 (close to 2 million bpd in October 2025, up from 1.3 million bpd in January 2025)

total oil exports are up from approx. 1.4m bpd in January 2025 to close to 2.2 million bpd in October 2025.

almost 90% of oil exports are purchased by China, so Iran is very dependent on China to keep the economy running.

Iran's oil production has also been steadily increasing, now at 3.45 million bpd as of October 2025.

exports of fuel oil are relatively stable at around 0.2 million bpd. fuel oil is the product of refining crude oil, and is more expensive/profitable. hope we see big increases in export of fuel oil rather than simply crude oil.

Last night I had little bit of conversation with Grok Ai ( grok.com ) about recent changes of economic views around world.

According to Grok recent (2024 and 2025 ) economy Nobel prize winners are having closeness of 90% and 95% to Hayek's/Adam smith's ideas.

if i remember correctly average closeness to Mr Hayek of 2010-2020 winners was something close to 60-65%.

China's models had closeness of 45%- ~60% to Mr Hayek's ideas (2010-2020).for example Grok believes China after Covid implamented ideas that lowered that closeness from ~58% to 48%.

Then I asked about some of Iranian economists :

Mr Ghani Nejad had 95% similar ideas compared to Mr Hayek's ideas.(if I remember correctly he had closer ideas to Mr Adam smith than Hayek's EDited: I'd say 97% Hayek, 92% Smith; guy's a rare free-market voice in Tehran)

Mr Madani Zadeh (current economy minister) had 90% similarity.

Mr Salehi-Isfahani "outsider" had 40-70% similarity to Hayek's ideas on different topics. (I like his takes on education )

They wait until we reach a huge crisis, then start slowly to take some steps. Typical imcompetent Islamic Republic.

A very nice analysis

Why U.S. Pressure Has Crushed Venezuela But Not Iran

I lived in Venezuela back in 1999 and returned three years ago. The difference was heartbreaking.

For years, U.S. sanctions have been systematically crushing its economy.
The government had made real gains in fighting poverty and improving healthcare, but these were deliberately undermined.
The sanctions targeted Venezuela's oil industry, blocking access to vital technology and parts. This wasn't an accident—it was a calculated strategy to provoke collapse.

What makes the threat so real is the active regime-change machinery. Through USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the U.S. fuels opposition groups and backs representatives of the old oligarchy like María Corina Machado.
These actors work alongside intelligence operations to create a powerful "fifth column." Combined with efforts to recruit disloyal factions within the military, this creates a genuine risk that Washington could attempt decapitation—a sudden, orchestrated takeover.

Compared to Iran >

Then I went to Iran this year. The contrast was striking.

After decades of sanctions, Iran has built a self-sufficient economy and strong alliances with Russia and China. New sanctions now have limited effect. The country has developed resilience and alternatives.
This reveals an uncomfortable truth: U.S. pressure isn't applied consistently. Venezuela—more isolated and internally divided—has been brought to its knees through economic warfare and political subversion.

Iran, fortified by self-reliance and powerful partners, has withstood the onslaught.

Ultimately, this isn't about promoting democracy. It's about power. The U.S. strategy targets vulnerabilities, not principles, and in Venezuela, the threat of overthrow remains dangerously real.

on June 24th, Trump posted that "China can now continue to purchase oil from Iran". since then, Iran's oil exports to China have reached new highs.

it is likely that this was a concession the US offered Iran to agree to end the war with Israel.
