In this interview, host Speaker A discusses with energy researcher Omid Shokri the consequences of President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and to re‑impose sanctions in phased steps over three and six months. Shokri explains how the sanctions will curtail Iran’s oil production—currently around 4 million barrels per day—and reduce dollar revenues, undermining the economy that had briefly benefited from foreign investment after the 2015 JCPOA. He notes the lack of transparent data on the billions of dollars of foreign capital that entered Iran post‑deal and how the sanctions threaten to reverse those gains. The conversation then turns to the local impact on Iranian Azerbaijan, where factory closures have led to rising unemployment and inflation. Shokri suggests that regional development plans, investment attraction, and leveraging natural gas resources could mitigate the downturn. Finally, he assesses Iran’s broader geopolitical influence in the Middle East—its role in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and OPEC—and how reduced oil revenues could diminish its regional leverage. The interview concludes with a thank‑you to Shokri.
