The ongoing conflict with the US and Israel has triggered a devastating economic crisis in Iran, resulting in approximately two million job losses across diverse sectors such as manufacturing, tech, tourism, and retail. Beyond the physical destruction of key petrochemical and steel plants by air strikes, the Iranian economy is being strangled by a persistent internet blackout—costing $35 million daily—and a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz that has halted the import of essential raw materials. This massive wave of redundancies has particularly impacted female entrepreneurs who rely on digital platforms and has crippled major industries like car manufacturing, while ordinary citizens struggle with inflation exceeding 50% and a government loan scheme that offers little relief. The collective impact of these factors, combined with reduced consumer spending and an effectively paralyzed private sector, suggests a deepening humanitarian and economic catastrophe for millions of Iranians if the conflict and sanctions persist.
