The reason we say that the acceleration of the collapse of Irans economy is much higher than Venezuela is because it took two years for Venezuelas inflation rate to increase from 57% to 254%, but in Iran it took only five months.

Historically a country only collapses when it purges its productive farmers. The mullahs have been smart enough to leave the farmers alone and cultivate a rural base.

And then there is Free Republic where zealots harrangue about American presence in the Mid East. Their sanctimony supports the American enemy Iran

Complain about the economy in Iran and bunch of motorcycle thugs show up and beat you with chains. So the political effects of this will take awhile.

Maybe it will make Iraq revalue their Dinar. That’ll make the Ponzi salesmen happy.

On the plus side, if Iran fails, it may start the Dominos-a-falling.

Unmentioned, and not visible in the budget either, is the fact that Iran has been exporting revolution for forty years and it tends to be a very expensive business when your budget goes bang in Israel or Syria with no return on investment. Oil income can stave that off for a while but when it finally bites, it's an exponential curve.
They need foreign cash to prop the thing up and they're not getting it from the U.S. due to the sanctions. The Chinese have cash. But these days Chinese money tends to come with some strings attached, as the Kenyans just found out. And the Chinese are famously unsympathetic toward Islamic revolution, at least in their own territory. Perhaps a rapprochement with Russia is in the future?
