Iran's economy contracted an estimated 4.99% in 2020, steadily shrinking since 2017.
In comparison,Islamic Republic enjoyed a sharp economic growth of 12.5% in 2016 after nuclear deal was signed. However, that reprieve was short-lived. #Iran
📈2⃣
Oil production and exports hurt
The International Monetary Fund sees Iran's gross domestic product growing 3% in 2021.
📈3⃣
The sanctions lowered Iran's ability to sell oil and prevented them from repatriating money from energy sales, Abrams said.#Nowruz #WeStand4FreeIran @jrpsaki
World trade with Iran falls
Exports and imports both fell sharply after the sanctions were reimposed. Besides oil.
IMF estimates suggest Iran fell into a trade deficit of $3.45 billion in 2020. The country had a trade surplus of $6.11 billion in 2019, according to IMF. #Iran @SecDef
📈4⃣
Inflation spikes
A weaker currency makes imports more expensive for locals, and high inflation means the cost of living is rising at a time when the people are already struggling with a weak economy and job market.
@francediplo_EN @DutchMFA @NorwayMFA @FCDOGovUK @ItalyMFA
📈5⃣
Weak job market
High unemployment rates are set to increase even further given Iran's economic struggles.
An estimated 12.4% of population is expected to be out of work in 2021, according to IMF projections.
@VonderLeyen @EU_eeas @FCDOGovUK @GermanyDiplo @SpainMFA
📈6⃣
Widening fiscal deficit
The national budget is of some interest (to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) because he would want money for the Revolutionary Guards, for Hezbollah, for the Shia militias in Iraq, and for various other expenses that they have.

Do you know what the world is facing in relation to Iran?
⛔️Inside Iran: Iran agreed to shut down the reactor at Arak. Iran will cold test its redesigned Arak nuclear reactor as a prelude to fully commissioning it later in the year. #DisbandIRGC

⛔️Ukrainian flight 752 :
Iran’s civil aviation body released a final report this week that blames “human error” for shots fired at Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
The Canadian government has rejected the report outright.#DisbandIRGC
⛔️Inside Iran:
The uprising in Sistan and Baluchistan was unmistakable evidence that anti-regime sentiment had not diminished in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, but could still find outlet in large-scale protests and the crisis winds down in most of the world.

According to the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on February 23, 2021, the nuclear watchdog has found anthropogenic uranium particles at two sites in Iran. @IAEAOrg @RafaelMGrossi @JosepBorrellF @HelgaSchmid_EU @USAbehFarsi
rt.com/news/516397-ir…
The Iranian regime had blocked access to these sites to #IAEA inspectors for months.
A question from Europe and America Do you still think you should trust this regime ???
The only solution is to cut off negotiations with them.
