FAFO....they (the Regime ) are on the verge of being butchered by their own citizens....

Iran's economy is in a severe, rapidly accelerating collapse as of April 2026, driven by a strict US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, crippling sanctions, and infrastructure damage from recent war. Inflation is officially around 68%, the rial is in freefall, and food prices are soaring, leading to a humanitarian crisis and immense daily pressure on households.

Key Aspects of the Collapse:
  • Blockade and Energy Crisis: The US-led blockade has paralyzed Iranian oil exports, costing approximately $435 million a day in economic damage. This has cut off Iran’s primary source of revenue and severely limited foreign exchange reserves.
  • Currency and Inflation: The Rial has devalued drastically, with the dollar trading at roughly 155,000 tomans. This has led to triple-digit food inflation and a massive 90% drop in purchasing power, as discussed in (source: National Council of Resistance of Iran - NCRI).
  • Infrastructure Destruction: Attacks on critical facilities, including petrochemical plants in Asaluyeh and Mahshahr, have halted around 85% of petrochemical exports. Total economic damage could reach up to 40% of GDP, say Fox News and CNBC based on expert analysis, as reported by the FDD and CNBC.
  • Social Impact: A severe humanitarian crisis is brewing, with shortages of basic goods, rising costs for essential services, and a decline in living standards, notes NCRI and Iran International.
  • Long-term Outlook: Analysts suggest this is the deepest crisis in modern Iranian history, with potential long-term oil revenue losses of $14 billion annually. The government is using the conflict to justify the economic downturn, but faces potential collapse from continued pressure.

Okay...then everything should be over very shortly.

What do you suppose it will take? A few more days? A few more weeks? A few more months? A few more years?

HEY TRUMP. RELEASE THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START...OR PROLONG...ANY WARS. THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU ARE FOOLING ARE THE MAGA MORONS...AND EVEN A FROG COULD FOOL THEM.

The files were released and the parts involving Trump were blacked out. That’s exactly why I’m saying what I’m saying. When someone talks nonstop about transparency but the only sections of the Epstein documents that get censored just happen to be the ones with their name and photos, it’s not wild to wonder why.

Magats can pretend that’s nothing. I’m looking at the pattern.

Iran’s economy really is in freefall. Hyperinflation, a collapsing rial, and a U.S. blockade are all real. But the butchered by their own citizens stuff and the precise damage numbers are spin and worst‑case estimates, not what the IMF or mainstream reporting actually say.

The War Powers Resolution (WPR) of 1973 (Public Law 93-148, also known as the War Powers Act) was passed by Congress over President Nixon’s veto to reassert congressional authority over the introduction of U.S. armed forces into hostilities.

The president may continue the use of force for up to 60 calendar days after the report is submitted (or was required to be submitted). At the end of those 60 days, the president must terminate the use of U.S. armed forces unless Congress has:
  1. Declared war, or
  2. Enacted specific statutory authorization for the action, or
  3. Extended the period by law.

Under the plain text of the WPR, the 60-day clock therefore started on 2 March. Adding 60 calendar days lands on 1 May, 2026.

AI Overview:

Iran International (iranintl.com), a London-based Persian-language news channel and digital platform critical of the Iranian government, does not publicly disclose detailed funding information on its website. There are no "About Us," ownership, funding, or transparency sections on its homepage or linked pages that address financing, sponsors, or sources of support.

It operates without commercial advertising or sponsorships, and its parent company (Volant Media UK Ltd) has reported substantial operating losses in public filings (e.g., £26 million in 2017, £86 million in 2022, and £60 million in 2021), with relatively low reported revenue.

  • It is owned and directed by a Saudi Arabian-British citizen, Adel Abdulkarim (also referred to as Adel Abdukarim or Adel Abdulkarim Alabdulkarim), who serves as director and has been the majority shareholder since around 2018.
  • Prior to that (May 2016–May 2018), another Saudi national, Fahad Ibrahim Aldeghither (former chairman of Saudi telecom company Zain), held over 75% of the shares.
The outlet and its operators (including DMA Media Ltd, which manages day-to-day operations) have consistently denied any governmental funding or interference. In a detailed 2018 statement responding to The Guardian: “Iran International is owned by Volant Media UK Ltd, which is a private limited company based in London. Its shareholders are private individuals. It has no connection to Mohammed bin Salman or the Saudi government (or any government, including that of Iran).”

They emphasize editorial independence, adherence to international standards of impartiality, and that coverage reflects a wide range of Iranian voices without advocating for any government or party.

No other major funders (e.g., U.S. government, UK entities, or commercial sources) have been credibly identified in public records or investigations. The channel’s significant ongoing costs, lack of advertising revenue, and opaque ownership structure tied to Saudi nationals have fueled persistent speculation about external backing, especially given its anti-Iranian editorial line.
