International sanctions are finally taking a major toll in Iran as the general population is feeling extreme pain as the Iranian currency, the rial, fell by a shocking 40% in the last week and protests began to rumble through the capital.
The Iranian leaderships lie that sanctions will substantially not affect them has finally been put to lie.
The sanctions are hurting the people but the goals of the sanctions were to halt the nuclear program. So far nothing has and nothing will halt the program. If anything this will add fuel to their fire of hatred towards the West as they will paint the West (US) and its allies as the enemies who are causing them all these problems.
