Irans Economy
Iran's currency is the rial. Today, Iran is second largest producer and exporter in oil and petroleum produc. Recent high oil prices have allowed Iran to amass reserves of about $30 billion, but Iran's domestic economy still struggles from high unemployment and inflation. Agricultural products make up about 30 percent of Iran's non-oil exports. The sector's share of Iran's gross domestic product, however, has been declining since the 1930s.

ATTACKING IRAN???
Countries like USA and Israel is planning to attack Iran because of its secret mission of developing Nuclear weapons Iran has continued enriching uranium However, the case for wars success is hard to make. If Iran is intent on getting a bomb, an attack would delay but not stop it But it would be difficult to attack because exact locations are still unknown.
If Iran gets the atomic bombs, it would put pressure on other countries in the region. Many Arab countries believe it is unfair that Israel has nuclear weapons. If Arab countries, notably Saudi Arabia but also Egypt and possibly Syria, found themselves caught between a nuclear-armed Israel and a nuclear-armed Iran, it would greatly increase pressures to pursue their own nuclear options. This could result in a regional arms race in the Middle East which is likely to be quite destabilizing, given the number and of conflicts in the region.
