Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Meengla]

And that is the crazy world we live in today... Pakistan needs oil, Iran got it... In return Pakistan canbe bread basket for all of Mideast for a fraction of investment elsewhere. All of that canbe done locally and bilaterally... the line canbe skipped!

It will be offtopic to discuss why Pakistan for decades chosen not to get the oil and gas from an Iran which was right next to Pakistan. In cost-benefit analyses, Pakistan would lose due to the American sanctions. Such analyses have been present for decades despite whoever was in power in Pakistan.
But it will be very interesting to see if and to what extent Trump is going to tolerate Pakistan providing its outlets and inlets for the Iranian / foreign goods; we know Pakistan just very recently opened six of its venues for trade with Iran. Pakistan is stretching the envelope like never before.

A traitor must walk twice the road to be trusted half as far.

I think it was good that Irans ground forces didn't invest much in classical ground warfare systems like tanks and the like....it seems to me that also Artesh is slowly giving up the old way of ground fighting....drones changed everything

Artesh has to go on ground because their duty is ensuring protection to Iranian borders, and that is entirely different fighting field, with incomparable operational risks and opponents... IRGC is neo-persian imperial fist, that keeps Iranian integrity far beyond Iranian borders, which is nothing new, being unable to make Iran safe island, they are forced to spread their sphere of influence across the region, keeping the Plateau, heartland, out of war zones...

And Iran investinvests smartly in modern warfare branches like cyber attacking capacity, drones and cheap but functional weaponry... Every quantity owns quality...

1 IRT = 10 IRR. IRT is the abbreviation of Iranian Toman. IRR is Iranian Rial. People use IRT in Iran because it's easier.

The USD price is fluctuating between 175,000 IRT and 185,000 IRT. It was about 155,000 IRT during the war.

Yes, I am against incompetence. They switched a winning hand with this! This is not sustainable. Iran is going to become the next Venezuela soon.

On top of this. the system is turning Iran into North Korea. Iranians have been in a complete digital blackout since February 29th. That's 2 months of complete digital blackout. Millions of people have lost their jobs because of this, while food prices have increased by more than 70% in the last 2 months. So, if this situation continues, people will not be able to afford even rent and food anymore.

A moment of silence for those Pakistanis here who bought Irani currency as a investment lol. Because someone told them after Iran defeating US it will be a next super power in the region lol. Well whether Iran will defeat US or not is a different question but buying a currency like that for investment is plain stupid.

Don't be so rash. People who bought the ruble before Trump's election in 2024 would have profited handsomely if they sold a year later in 2025. Iranian currency could be in a good place in 2027 or 2028 when a deal is clinched between the US and Iran sometime this year. A deal that will include sanctions relief.

Something doesn't add up. If we are truly exporting 2 million barrels per day at $105 (average price for Iran's heavy and light crude oil products), even with a $5-$10 discount to China, then our oil revenue has already doubled compared to last year. We sold our heavy oil less than $60 per barrel before January. Why is the Iranian currency going down the toilet like never before if our main source of income has doubled? We must be hemorrhaging money somewhere. It seems that the trustees haven't been curbed at all.

Since the beginning of the presidency of Pezeshkian, USD price has increased from 50K IRT to 181K IRT. And it hasn't been a full 2 years yet. A 90% increase annually. At this rate, 1 USD will go above 600K IRT before he leaves the office.

Never listen to that friend of yours for economic advice lol

In 1979, when the revolution happened, 1 USD was fixed at 7 IRT. Now it is 182,000 IRT as we speak. A geometric average annual inflation of 29% in the span of 47 years! Definitely in top 3 worst currencies, if not the worst.
