Let’s remember that in 1978, just before the Shah’s regime fell, the dollar was worth 71 rials. As of April 8, one dollar is worth 660,000 rials.

Iran has the 2nd largest natural gas reserves in the world, behind the big kahuna, Russia.

Nat gas value is measured in joules. Currency that one prints / creates from nothingness is rather less important than things God created, joules.

Are they being paid in Rials or in dollars for their oil?

In Muzziegan they’re saying “Death to America” and are allowed to stay in the country.

How long will America last under such conditions?

Is it wrong to not feel sad about this?

Everything that they import is directly or indirectly paid for in rials.

Of course many don’t take rials, leaving Iran to use the rial to buy other currencies for the purchases.

They are paid for their nat gas in whatever currency that they decide to accept-which is most likely any hard currency on earth.

The evil aggressive Iranian rulers are on the verge of getting their country destroyed

As clever as they are, it doesn’t appear that they even know just how close they’ve pushed things - or what they’re going to be met with if they keep threatening

I’ve been hearing this for 40 years.

The decayed militaries of the West can’t even control Houthi terrorists and keep the Canal open.

Instead, they all wait in dread for Iran to attack Israel.
