Iranians continue to face severe economic woes, with nearly six in 10 (59%) in 2021 saying their local economy was getting worse.
The opportunity for sanction relief from the U.S. largely ended in 2018, when then U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from the JCPOA and reimposed stringent sanctions on Iran. Since then, no less than 56% of Iranians have said their local economies are getting worse.
