Massive pressure from the Trump administration is causing serious “discontent” among Iranian rulers and civilians, with economic problems and social issues creating growing unrest just months after the US withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement.
According to Yahoo News, mounting sanctions and economic pressure from the White House is “rattling the Islamic Republic” and creating new headaches for leaders in Tehran.

“The country is under pressure from inside and outside. But it seems there is no crisis management plan to control the situation,” said one Iranian insider.
