Iran's GDP Declines by 10.1% Amid Ongoing US-Israel Conflict

Iran's GDP has contracted by 10.1% year-on-year, primarily due to a 26.4% decline in the oil and gas sector amid the ongoing US-Israel conflict. The economic downturn is compounded by high inflation, a depreciating currency, and trade disruptions. Iran's ability to export oil has been severely impacted by US sanctions and a naval blockade.
