Analysis: Iran faces 'a permanent state of crisis' as time wanes and sanction pressure grows
Iran’s economy is shrinking with 45% inflation, while internal political divisions and stalled nuclear talks deepen the country’s crisis, officials and analysts say.
- On Oct. 20, 2025, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei halted talks with the West and blocked direct negotiations as Iranian delegates traveled to New York, while analyst Ali Abdullah Khani warned Iran faces a 'permanent state of crisis.'
- Last month the United Nations reimposed sanctions targeting Iran's Central Bank and oil exports, deepening economic collapse despite Tehran's protests.
- Executions are at a decades-long high and public life shows caution after the June war, with no major military parades and limited sea drills as industrial accidents and rial drops erode savings.
- China and Russia publicly decried sanctions while United States and European nations enforce them, raising risks of Iranian crude seizures and deepening Tehran's isolation.
- With no clear successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, former President Hassan Rouhani is organizing critics in Qom, while Khamenei's public speeches rejecting U.S. coercion complicate Iran's political future.
