News Summary

• The war between Iran and Israel and the United States has been an economic catastrophe for Iranians.
• Their country has lost at least 1 million jobs —possibly 2 million — since the war began.
• Iran might end up experiencing a double-digit economic contraction this year.
• The regime compounded these effects with its total shutdown of the internet, first during the mass protests in January and then during the war.
• The government has offered little relief, and many Iranians rely on part-time work because they rely on contract work.
