Tehran residents said they were deeply worried about the return of United Nations sanctions and a nosediving local currency. The sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme were reimposed.

Tehran

United Nations sanctions on Iran, related to its nuclear program and stalled negotiations with Western countries, have been reinstated. Residents in Tehran report significant anxiety over the impact on their daily lives, with concerns about access to basic necessities such as medicine, water, and electricity. Many cite the already severe effects of existing American sanctions and fear the combined impact will worsen economic conditions, including further depreciation of the national currency, the rial.

The Iranian government has publicly condemned the sanctions, describing them as unjustifiable and asserting its intention to protect the country's rights and interests. Residents emphasize the need for economic stability and express frustration over rising prices and the struggle to afford daily expenses.

Tehran residents react to reimposed U.N. sanctions on Iran

Iran is once again under sanctions from the United Nations. The sanctions, related to Iran's nuclear program and failed talks with Western powers on the country's nuclear sites, were reinstated at midnight on Saturday. For residents in Iran's capital, Tehran, the sanctions are a major source of worry for their livelihoods. We are worried. Yes, we are worried because our children's future is at risk. Right now we have three little kids, a pair of twins and one single child, and we're worried about them. There's no rainwater. Electricity and water keep getting cut off. And if more sanctions come, there will be no medicine at all. Where are we supposed to get medicine from? Even now, when I go to get Iranian medicine, they tell me, ma'am, it's not available. Iran's economy is already under pressure from American sanctions, and residents fear the combined impact with those reimposed by the UN. What do people really want? Just a simple life, a decent income, enough to keep the household going. Prices have gone out of control. I see what people are going through every day. Iran's currency, the rial, has also been suffering, and hit new lows this week on Wednesday in comparison to the dollar. The government's top priority should be its own people, not other countries. This whole situation harms our people. Right now everything is tied to the dollar. That means people are struggling even with their daily living expenses. There's nothing more to say. Everything is clear. Iran's government reacted to the sanctions early on Sunday, calling them unjustifiable. The foreign ministry vowed that Iran would defend its national rights and interests.
