These circumstances put the Iranian regime in a particularly difficult situation, especially against the backdrop of fears of confrontation with the new Trump administration, which threatens to increase economic and military pressure on the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Crisis: A Collapsing Economy and Stagnant Industry<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, the energy crisis in Iran is a result of failed management and inadequate investment in infrastructure over the years. Over the last month, industrial factories operated at only 41% of their production capacity due to a severe shortage of electricity and natural gas. This shortage has particularly impacted essential factories such as those producing pharmaceuticals and cement, endangering the security of the food industry as well.<\/p>\n<p>In the agricultural sector, the lack of electricity affects the water pumps necessary for irrigation, and the absence of natural gas hampers fertilizer production, which may reduce this year&#8217;s wheat yield. All of this has led to a dramatic increase in food prices, with meat prices rising fivefold over the past three years, and the shortage is extremely well-felt in the local market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Collapse of the &#8220;Axis of Resistance&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nOver the past year, Iran has suffered a series of defeats in the regional arena, which have significantly weakened its ability to threaten Israel and its allies. The collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, which enjoyed Iranian support for years, alongside the elimination of Hamas leadership in Gaza and the destruction of Hezbollah&#8217;s infrastructure in Lebanon, has reduced the power of the &#8220;axis of resistance&#8221; led by Iran.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12439\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"462\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12439\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Documentation of the Elimination of Mohammed Deif.

Protests and strikes are spreading throughout the country, primarily initiated by retirees, oil workers, and teachers. According to <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, the protests have become increasingly political, with the public calling on the government to stop focusing on warfare and ideology and to start prioritizing the economy.
