Iran has been sanctioned by the United States for 40 years, but after fighting a war with the U.S., it seems to have become richer? What is this magical operation? 💰
For decades, the U.S. has been exerting extreme pressure on Iran—oil exports plummeted from 2.5 million barrels a day to 400,000 barrels, the currency devalued wildly, with 1 U.S. dollar able to exchange for 1,450,000 rials, and the prices of food and necessities skyrocketed by over 70%, leading to continuous public dissent. Logically, this economy should have collapsed long ago... But who would have thought that a hard battle unexpectedly opened up two 'financial pathways'! 💡
The first pathway: China pays up, with the renminbi paving the way.
Kicked out of SWIFT, with all dollars frozen? No problem! China needs oil, and Iran has oil! In 2021, the two countries signed a 25-year cooperation agreement, with China investing $400 billion, and Iran supplying China with 1 million barrels of oil daily, directly receiving renminbi! 🛢️
Iran has accumulated 180 billion renminbi and can buy Chinese goods without exchanging for dollars; the U.S. can’t freeze it. What’s even better is that once the conflict broke out, oil prices soared to $112, allowing Iran to earn an additional $20 million every day! And that’s not all; Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a 'toll station'—want to pass? Please settle oil transactions in renminbi! One-fifth of the world’s oil passes through here, and Iran has truly seized the energy throat this time. 🌊
The second pathway: Russia steps in, no worries about energy.
To the north, there’s Russia lending a hand! Russia not only supplies Iran with 18 billion cubic meters of gas annually but also invested $4 billion to develop oil fields together. Both parties signed a long-term agreement: if there’s a gas shortage, they will supplement each other, and this energy corridor runs through the Caspian Sea, which the U.S. Navy can’t control at all. 🔐
As a result, with renminbi income from the east and guaranteed Russian energy from the north, Iran is still exporting over 2.4 million barrels of oil daily, with income nearly doubling, plus the 'toll fee' from the strait, money flows in every day... 💸
Of course, ordinary Iranians still have a hard time—high inflation, expensive food—but at least the country doesn't have to worry about how to survive tomorrow for now. The two paths forced out by the U.S. have instead become a lifeline; this plot twist is truly unexpected! 😮
