Iran Anticipates 2025 as Key Year Amid U.S. Policy Concerns
Iran signaled that 2025 will be a pivotal year for its nuclear issue, as officials brace for the return of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s "maximum pressure" policy.
Trump previously withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, which had relaxed sanctions in exchange for limits on uranium enrichment.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi emphasized the significance of 2025 during talks with Chinese officials but did not elaborate. Iranian concerns include possible Israeli attacks on nuclear sites and intensified U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s oil industry.
The Iranian rial hit a record low against the U.S. dollar, reflecting economic instability and public efforts to safeguard savings through foreign currencies, gold, and cryptocurrencies. Inflation is officially at 35%, and the rial has depreciated by 18% since Trump’s election.
