The crisis in Iran threatens the regime: Beni Sabti - "The public is really boiling"

Iran expert Beni Sabti analyzes the impact of economic pressure on Tehran: damage to oil exports, collapse of the local currency (2 million rials as a psychological threshold), and the naval blockade limiting Iran's ability to export. Sabti claims that the Iranian public is "boiling" and that even in the military leadership there is a growing understanding that the regime has hit rock bottom, while avoiding direct confrontation with Israel.

Iran expert Beni Sabti analyzes in an interview with 103FM the impact of the growing economic pressure on the ayatollahs' regime in Tehran. Sabti points to three main factors: the damage to oil exports due to the naval blockade, the collapse of the local currency (the rial) which crossed the psychological threshold of 2 million rials to the dollar, and Iran's complete dependence on imports. According to him, "the Iranian public is really boiling" and the regime is facing internal division between rival factions. Sabti also refers to the military leadership in Iran, claiming that the veteran generals understand that they have hit rock bottom, similar to the situation in 1988, and that they are deterred by Israel and avoid attacking it directly. The analysis focuses on the structural weaknesses of the Iranian economy, defined as "single-product" and dependent solely on oil.
