They have no problem funding terrorists or paying for drones and cruise missiles.

“...following attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia”
The straw that broke the camel’s back.
Europe has apparently stopped supporting them as a result of that attack. It is likely that shortage of hard currency itself (being broke) is a big factor in what is happening - not just a processing glitch.
Looks like a serious train wreck developing for Iran. They are poorly served by rail, and heavily dependent on shipping for a wide range of imports. They produce little of what they consume, relative to most other countries. Their few ports are getting jammed up, as cargoes are not clearing.
Serious shortages will likely result over the next few weeks and months.
Unless of course, the mullahs get hung from the light posts.
A new regime would likely get a hefty line of credit quickly granted to get supplies flowing in, and oil flowing out.

Way doen in the article it mentions that Iran facilities are having trouble offloading the grain...
Anyway, the sanctioning of the terrorist’s bank in Iran is the main cause.,

Threaten to annihilate your neighbors, your neighbors cut off your supply chain.

Certain grains will go bad. Gee, I'd hate for that to happen to those poor souls.

There’s 90 million people in Persia

Storm to pass with 100,000 people they wouldn’t stand a chance

I’m not so sure about that.
Iran’s regular / active armed forces number about 523,000. Reserves number approx. 1,350,00. Some would likely defect, however, the above numbers don’t include all the terrorists the mullahs could call in if existentially threatened.
