Iran prepares for worsening economic conditions amid US pressure
The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran is preparing for a more difficult economic period, aiming to build resilience as US pressure is expected to intensify under President Donald Trump.
The outlet also notes that private credit firms are tightening the terms of loans, moving away from certain “sweetener” features, which could affect borrowing conditions as the economic environment weakens.
In addition, the report describes a separate episode involving Trump’s plane swapping after being warned of an Iranian threat, though it provides no market-specific details beyond the broader context of heightened risk.
The overall theme is that Iran and parts of the lending sector are adjusting ahead of a potentially tougher economic outlook tied to US policy pressure, according to the WSJ.
