Prof. Uzi Rabi: US sanctions are weakening Iran’s economy but may not guarantee regime collapse

Prof. Uzi Rabi, a researcher at Tel Aviv University, stated in a recent analysis that US sanctions have placed significant pressure on Iran's economy. However, he warned against the assumption that economic collapse alone would inevitably lead to the downfall of the Islamic Republic. According to the expert, while weakening economic structures creates major challenges for the regime, it does not necessarily guarantee fundamental political change. This analysis comes as regional tensions and the presence of military forces in the Strait of Hormuz remain key variables in the security and economic equations between Iran and the West.
