Also, the only reason the Iranian economy was never doing as good as it could have were US imposes sanctions. If Iran can make the lifting of sanctions part of any given peace deal, then that's a huge win and their economy will see an even more tremendous boom after the war. Because what's better than selling oil and resources to either the west or east? That's right, selling it to both while you can.
On this note, it always amuses me when (admittedly mostly Americans) people talk about how countries they don't like aren't doing too hot economically and that business with the US would be profitable. That most of these countries aren't doing so hot is because the US refuses to trade with them and quite literally threatens everyone who would trade with them, well that's beyond them. It's like poisoning someone and then trying to sell them the antidote 5 minutes later.
