Very Unlikely!

This story is aimed at creating more panic amongst iranian's to withdraw their money from the banks and turn them into hard cash /gold, etc. As a result, there will be a blow to the economy, but the real pressure as always is on the people and not the government.

"will create mass unemployment"

by John on

Really?  According to what I've been told, there already is massive unemployment.  In fact, I know of people who are working for no salary.  Their employers have low or no cash flow, and the employees continue to go to work in order to safeguard their jobs, but they are paid nothing for the work that they do.  These are not low-level jobs either, but are IT and engineering positions.
