Iran's economic squeeze is deepening, with food prices climbing, fuel lines persisting, and new foreign exchange limits on essential imports tightening the state's grip on household basics. Diplomatic tension is escalating in parallel, as Tehran has sent seven conditions through Qatar for restarting talks with Washington while warning of a decisive war if its demands are rejected. The US has cut short a presidential stay at Camp David and renewed travel alerts warning the Iran conflict could escalate rapidly, while regional friction continues with a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh by Houthi forces.
