Iran’s oil revenue could hit ZERO by December —first time in history | Eye for Iran | EP 124 |

Iran has survived revolution, war and decades of sanctions without losing its oil revenue entirely. That could change in December. For the first time in Iran's history, revenue from crude oil and condensate exports could fall to ZERO by mid-December if the US blockade continues, according to new analysis from Kpler. The Islamic Republic stands to lose as much as $6 billion a month. But will unprecedented economic pressure force Tehran to compromise, or is its leadership prepared to fight to the bitter end? This week on Eye for Iran, Negar Mojtahedi explores three extraordinary stories that raise troubling questions about the Islamic Republic's future. Why is Tehran accelerating its executions? Khosro Esfahani, Research Director at NUFDI, examines the regime's escalating use of the death penalty following January's anti-government protests. He argues that the leadership's apocalyptic worldview helps explain its willingness to embrace endless conflict, even at the cost of devastating consequences for Iran. Just how far is it prepared to go? Could Iran's oil money disappear by December? Homayoun Falakshahi, Head of Crude Oil Analysis at Kpler, reveals why Iran could be approaching an unprecedented financial turning point. With oil exports effectively halted, can Tehran find a way around the US blockade? What happens to the economy, the regime's regional allies and its negotiating position with Washington if billions in oil revenue vanish? Imprisoned for being poor. Shahin Milani, Executive Director of the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, exposes the largely forgotten Iranians held behind bars over unpaid debts. Some have spent years in prison without a criminal conviction. As economic conditions worsen, could thousands more face the same fate? From the regime's execution campaign to the potential disappearance of its oil lifeline, this episode asks a fundamental question: What happens when an increasingly isolated leadership faces unprecedented pressure but refuses to change course? Watch the full episode of Eye for Iran for exclusive interviews and analysis of Iran's executions, the US oil blockade, sanctions evasion, the Islamic Republic's ideology and the country's deepening economic crisis.
