    The steps Trump and Bessent are taking against the Iranian economy are working. The Iranian rial is at an all-time low - 2.2 million rial to $1
    - and is starting to rival the German mark during the Weimar
    hyperinflation we learned about in history books. There's a video clip
    showing the number of rials it took to buy just $300 USD. It looks to a
    stack of 10 to 12 feet. (It's on a conveyor belt, with the rials stacked
    on edge.) Apparently, ordinary Iranians are barely subsisting by
    bartering. Iran has delivered a single drop of oil to China in many
    weeks and therefore hasn't had any income. I don't think this can go on
    much longer.
