Iran running out of money as US blockade chokes economy

Original: Iran is running out of money and can't even pay its troops as U.S. blockade chokes the economy

Reports say Iran's finances are deteriorating to the point that the government is struggling to pay its own troops, as a tightened US blockade squeezes the country's economy. The situation points to mounting pressure on Tehran's budget from sanctions and restricted access to revenue. Observers are weighing how far the economic strain could go and what it means for the country's stability.

Why now: Sanctions pressure on Iran and its implications for regional stability are a live international concern.
