Iran’s leadership is facing growing fears of renewed nationwide unrest as United Nations sanctions deepen the country’s economic crisis. Following the collapse of nuclear negotiations, the sanctions have worsened inflation—now around 40%—and caused the rial to plummet past 1.1 million per dollar. Millions have fallen deeper into poverty, with unemployment rising and trade and oil exports disrupted.
Officials in Tehran are holding urgent meetings to manage mounting public anger and prevent protests similar to those in 2019 and 2022. Analysts warn that the government’s heavy reliance on security measures could spark further unrest as people lose confidence in both the currency and the system itself.

Abba Father, in this time of financial hardship and loss, bring relief to those who suffer. Open doors for provision and restore stability to the economy. Let fairness, integrity, and compassion guide all who hold power. Amen (The Holy Bible, Philippians 4:19).

God of hope, strengthen the weary hearts of the Iranian people. Let Your light shine through the darkness of poverty and despair. Renew faith, restore courage, and remind them that deliverance comes from You. Amen (The Holy Bible, Isaiah 40:31).
