US sanctions are hurting Iran, but economic collapse alone may not topple regime, expert says

Prof. Uzi Rabi of Tel Aviv University has stated that United States sanctions are actively weakening the Iranian economy. However, he cautioned that economic distress is not a sufficient condition to ensure the collapse of the current Iranian regime.

The analysis suggests that while external financial pressure is impacting the country, the regime maintains internal mechanisms that may prevent a total downfall based on economic factors alone. This assessment highlights the limitations of sanctions as a standalone tool for achieving regime change in Iran.
