Iran
Iran, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, and historically known as Persia, is a country in West Asia. It borders Iraq to the west; Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Armenia to the northwest; the Caspian Sea to the north, Turkmenistan to the northeast; Afghanistan to the east; Pakistan to the southeast; and the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf to the south. With a population of over 92 million, Iran ranks 17th globally in both geographic size and population. It is divided into five regions with 31 provinces. Tehran is the nation's capital and largest city and serves as its primary economic center.
How Iran is moving across the news
Overall, Iran faces a net bearish climate due to heightened conflict risk, sanctions pressure, and declining oil premiums. The primary positive driver is the substantial revenue from Hormuz passage fees, which partially counterbalance the financial strain. The predominant risk remains the escalating regional tensions and potential U.S. sanctions that could further isolate Iran economically and diplomatically.
