How this affects you
The ongoing tensions between the Iranian government, its populace, and powerful hardline factions pose a significant risk of renewed mass protests and internal instability, which could be exacerbated by economic hardship and high public expectations for peace dividends. International relations are also at play as Iran aims to secure financial relief from suspended sanctions through an interim deal with the U.S. and potentially a wider agreement.
