Food Shortages, Blackouts Hit Iran As War's Economic Toll Mounts

The economic and humanitarian impact of the conflict in Iran is becoming increasingly visible as food shortages, power outages, and disruptions to daily life intensify across the country. After months of withstanding military pressure with limited visible economic fallout, Iran is now facing mounting financial strain and infrastructure damage. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated further following U.S. President Donald Trump's warning of a stronger military campaign, while American embassies across West Asia have advised citizens to prepare for a possible escalation and potential evacuation.
