24. Economic meltdown

Inflation has hit over 40%, their currency, the Iranian Rial, has collapsed, it hit something like 1.4 million rials to 1 USD in December. The airstrikes last summer, the ones by Israel and the US, damaged a lot of infrastructure and the government there has been unable to fix it, so blackouts and power outages have been ongoing. Sanctions went back to the more harsh pre 2015 ones when Iran withdrew fully from the IAEA after the airstrikes last summer, and then, apparently, people realized that the nuclear program, which normally could be used as leverage to get the sanctions lowered, was too heavily damaged to be of use at this point. So people went on strike, protests started, the government budget for 2026 showed massive increase in defense and security spending, but none for anything else. So it kinda snowballed. I'm sure foreign intelligence agencies are fanning the flames too.
