From a sharp fall in the currency's value to a steep rise in inflation, Iran's economy has reached what many describe as a breaking point. This time, the government has adopted a different approach as protests continue, calling for a dialogue mechanism."
"But as the country reels from longstanding sanctions, what does the leadership have to offer? And what would the consequences be if the protests escalate?

Thousands of people in Iran are protesting amid a dire economic crisis that severely affects daily livelihoods. The national currency has plunged sharply while inflation has risen steeply, pushing the economy toward a breaking point. The government has proposed a dialogue mechanism as an alternative response to ongoing protests. Longstanding international sanctions exacerbate economic strain and limit policy options. Leadership faces pressure to provide meaningful relief and reforms to prevent escalation. If protests intensify, risks include broader social unrest, harsher crackdowns, deeper economic disruption, and increased regional instability.
