People of Iran are stocking up their food and supplies amid the US blockade against the country, which has instilled fear about shortage and inflation. It has been eight months since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran, and the US naval blockade, together with the ban on flights and trade by the rest of the world, has put down local agro-exporters from exporting agricultural products due to blocked boundaries and has resulted in shortages of medicines and infant milk formulas that need to be imported. While the fear of an economic siege grows amid fading hopes of a ceasefire and the depreciation of the Iranian rial, people either purchase stocks in large quantities or pressurize the government of Iran to lift the US blockade through military action.
