(MENAFN - Asia Times) Pressure on Iranians is in full swing. The US sanctions, which President Joe Biden has signaled will not be lifted until the Islamic Republic fully complies with its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in tandem with mismanagement by Iran s government agencies and endemic corruption have demolished the people s livelihoods and left the national economy in shreds.
