Evidence
“Iran’s economy, already in a dire state because of international sanctions and corruption, has taken more blows since the uprising began in late December with strikes in Tehran’s bazaar. The currency has been in free fall and the government’s shutdown of the internet has impaired commerce.”
Iran’s Protests Have Ended, but the Anger and Pain Haven’t
“Economic conditions that were dire before the bombing became catastrophic afterward. The currency collapsed, inflation spiraled beyond control, and young Iranians watched their government’s multi-billion-dollar military investments destroyed in days while it failed to provide basic security or services.”
