OPEN SOURCEThe ongoing war in Iran has deeply affected the population's sense of hope and security, leading to increased frustration amid worsening economic conditions. Severe internet restrictions imposed by the regime are costing the Iranian economy around $28 million daily, forcing many to rely on heavily monitored local platforms.
Individuals like Homa, a teacher, have had to adjust their businesses due to these restrictions, resulting in significant income loss and mental health struggles. The regime continues to execute individuals for political dissent, maintaining strict control over public discourse while portraying itself as a divine authority.
Economic hardships are stark, with inflation rates surpassing 73%, causing severe living conditions for many, including truck drivers who are unable to earn a living due to trade blockages. Families are increasingly unable to meet basic needs, leaving parents feeling powerless as their children express desires that cannot be fulfilled due to financial constraints.
A housewife highlights the drastic economic decline in Iran, noting her husband's daily earnings have dropped from 5 euros to 2-3 euros, making basic necessities like rice unaffordable for their family of four. The ongoing conflict and economic turmoil have fostered a deep sense of hopelessness among Iranians, with many fearing that the war will persist and escalate in the future.
